I set the time zone to GMT+01:00 Amsterdam, Berlin.... I enabled the NTP function and added three different NTP servers for my country. I bushed the "apply" button and the current date & time were correct. Then I rebooted the unRAID server and the current date & time were 7/3/2010 3:43:06 PM although the current time is 5:43:06 PM. So after a reboot there is an offset of two hours to the actual time. If I push the apply button again the time changed to the correct time. Seems there must be something wrong with the time zone or am I wrong? And btw. it is not possible to format a disk under 4.5.5. I also can confirm this issue.

Thanks for confirming Kaygee.

I also can report a easy and smooth upgrade. My first upgrade of this product! Thanks for this upgrade. EDIT: i also can report that the timezone feature is working fine.

Hi, Hmm, have to checkout unMENU. Thanks for the tip! Yesterday i used Putty to login onto my unRAID box. I tried before, but used SSH. Yesterday i read that i have to use TELNET, and it works great.

Hi, Thanks for the reply oh, there is also coming a new version of the 4.5.X series. i suppose i have to watch some movies to ok, that delayed the release of 5.0. Awesome to hear this news. Can you share your excitement with us, and post a screenshot of unRAID 5.0. I can't wait for some more information. you've have the same idea i see!

Hi, Do i understand correctly that Lime-technology is developing version 5.0? What can we expect in this version? Is there any road map on the site?

Hi vca, My network is not causing the troubles. All connections are tested with a Fluke DTX CableAnalyzer. Yesterday i copied some movies to me unRAID box, and the speeds where now about 20-25MB/sec. So nothing to wurry about i understand. When i want to check my log file where i have to look for? I want to test unRAID for a couple of months when satisfied i buy a licence. Then i want to use a cache drive. I very positive about this software. Has Lime-technology ever considered to support a trial period of the pro version? So i can test the pro features...

Thanks for the reply BRiT and bubbaQ. That explains a lot. I have a gigabit network. My unRAID box use the following hardware, and using version 4.5.4. cpu: e7200 motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R (Realtek RTL8111B LAN Controller). harddrive: 1x Hitachi 7200RPM 1TB SATA model (parity drive), 2x Western Digital 5400RPM 1TB SATA model. When i write to the array directly speeds are about 20MB/sec. Using windows7 file explorer. So transfer speed are a little slow. Is this because i have the wrong driver for my NIC?

Did a lot of reading in this forum. Lots of information in this forum. I understand 20MB/sec is a normal speed for unRAID (client ---> unRAID box). I'm correct? What speed do i get when using a cache drive (gigabit network). About 60-90MB/sec?

My parity drive is now the hitachi 7200RPM 1TB, and i add the two western digitals 1 TB for storage. The system is running smoothly. I even can stream 1080P DTS-HD movies to my Tvix 6600N without stuttering. With Windows Home Server this was a no go. Also the transfer speed from client to tower box improved. Its about 15-20 MB/sec. Still a bit slow...

I think i also found the problem of the slow transfer speeds. I did: dsmeg | grep eth0 output eth0: rtl8168b/8111b......... r8169: eth0:link up and lsmod output: r8169 So the wrong driver is loaded. I have a Realtek 8168b/8111b its is a integrated NIC on a Gigabyte motherboard. Can i replace this driver?

Great wiki. Found one answer: So i replace the parity drive for a 7200RPM Hitachi. The array is now syncing!

Fast reply, thanks BRiT. I just realized with my Windows Home Server (WHS is history) i'll get transfer rates about 70-80 MB/sec. Hardware issue?

Hi, I did some experimenting with unRAID, and i must say i'm very positive about this product. I have a question my transfer speeds when coping from my client to my unRAID tower is about 10MB/sec. I find this slow. I read in the forum that transfer speeds are normally higher about 30 - 40 MB/sec. I have a Cat6a network (10Gbps), but the router is Gigabit speed. I have two 1 TB Green power western digitals (5400rpm), is this the reason transfer speed are slow? I also have a Hitachi 1TB drive (7200rpm), is this the best disc to make this the parity disc?
