  1. WAY too much whitespace... not just the fact the background is BLINDINGLY white, but the line spacing and padding around objects is HUGE, requiring way too much scrolling and taking up way too much wasted screen real estate. Can we turn off avatars... they are annoying.
  2. Yes, I can get to forums.lime-technology.com, but lime-technology.com and www.lime-technology are dead as a doornail from here. Both resolve to 216.119.154.106 for me. I tried from Comcast and over a VPN. I can get there fine on my tablet using cellular service, but not with my wifi.
  3. I have the same problem for several days. Also on Comcast but also when using a VPN
  4. In the SM chassis I have worked with, their hot-swap fans are not PWM controlled... they run at full voltage. That is unacceptable to me, so I don't connect the fans to the fan plate wiring, but instead connect them to 4-ping mobo fan headers (if they are 4-pin PWM fans.... if not, I replace the fans). The Asus Fan Extension Card is a good tool for this... it lets you connect to just one fan header on the mobo, that then will control 3 fans. If you do some surgery, you can even leave the RPM sensors connected to the fan plate for the alarm functionality.
  5. What size fans? If 120mm fans, AND you have 4-pan fan headers, you can't beat Delta AFB1212SHE-PWM.
  6. Your phone may be hacked. That is definitely not acceptable behavior from a phone. Do you have any network utilities or monitoring tools installed on the phone?
  7. The invalid logins are coming from your local subnet at 192.168.1.218. What device has that IP? Is in your DHCP pool? If it is not one of your devices, it may be someone nearby connecting to your wireless AP.
  8. That is often true, but I never suggested not paying the ransom. There are a lot of scenarios other than simply not paying the ransom where you can benefit from a later decryption tool. In some instances, the person hit waits too long to take action or the time is too short for them as a novice to complete the process of setting up a wallet and buying bitcoins, etc.
  9. Master Decryption Keys and Decryptor for the Crysis Ransomware Released. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/master-decryption-keys-and-decryptor-for-the-crysis-ransomware-released-/
  10. Mellanox Connect X2 cards work well... just make sure you have a PCIe 2.0 (or 3.0) slot with at least 8 lanes. Just because it is an x8 or x16 SLOT does not mean it has 8 or more lanes... particularly if you have a mobo that accepts both a 28 lane or a 40 lane CPU.
  11. Do you have antivirus installed? If your AV is scanning the file as you copy it from unRAID, it can slow things down.
  12. I still use FTKI for ReiserFS, and my array is still ReiserFS. For BtrFS / XFS, I use File Scavenger http://www.quetek.com/prod02.htm Supports NTFS, FAT 32/16/12, exFAT, ReFS, ext3, ext4, Btrfs, HFS+, HFSX, UFS1, UFS2, XFS, ZFS and RAIDZ, VMFS, VMDK, VHD and VHDX. ZAR and ReclaiMe are also good, but is usually much slower.
  13. I am back to report that I found the culprit(s)....(hint: not unRAID) Basically, it was that I had enabled NTFS compression on my ramdisk on my workstation. But there's more. On my Win7 workstation I use a write-back disk cache (FanchCache/PrimoCache) and I had upgraded to a new version a few weeks ago. That version was a trial, and it expired but I was unaware of it. When the write-back cache was in place, the NTFS compression delays were never seen. It just happened that the cache software trial expired the same day I upgraded to 6.2 stable. Profiling this pig also revealed the NTFS compression work is single threaded. I'm getting over 1GB/sec writing to unRAID now, but still getting only 500MB/sec down .... but it is no longer choppy.
  14. I need the libgtk-x11-2.0 libs in order to run TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt. Anyone got a package source to point to?
  15. No reason. Have you tried different browsers? Might be worth to check the flash device too and see if it saves the updated settings. Tried several browsers. Plus, my system has been set for tabbed interface for a long time. Upgrade to 6.2 stable changed it to untabbed.
  16. Any reason why I cannot get tabbed mode in display settings? I change it back to tabbed, and when I apply it, it changes back to non-tabbed.
  17. I'm having disk performance issues with 6.2, that are not related to parity or disk tunables. My test system has 32GB RAM and no parity drive. I have a 4-drive SSD RAID as cache and another single SSD as another drive outside the array. hdparm test the RAID at 700MB/S and the standalone SSD at 400MB/sec. Server and Win7 workstation both have Intel 10GbE cards with a crossover cable. Copying ramdisk-to-ramdisk with large (>4GB) files before upgrade to 6.2 Stable, I used to be able to copy each way at consistently well over 500MB/sec. Copying to/from cache would get similar results (principally because I have 32GB RAM, so everything was in buffers). Since upgrade to 6.2 stable, I/O performance is crap. Writing to the server (ramdisk or SSD) tops out about 260MB/sec. Reading from the server (RAM disk or SSD) is even worse, at 90MB/sec (and it is very choppy). I've tried most of the tweaks mentioned to no avail. Suggestions?
  18. http://news.softpedia.com/news/cryptocurrency-mining-malware-discovered-targeting-seagate-nas-hard-drives-508119.shtml "The quandary is that Seagate Central owners have no way to protect their device. Turning off the remote access NAS feature can prevent the infection, but also means they lose the ability to access the device from a remote location, one of the reasons they purchased the hard drive in the first place."
  19. I always tell clients that if you get hit by ransomware, if you can save the drive/data and not just delete it, you may be able to get everything back later. Months or sometimes years after a particular ransomware has been deployed, a decryption tool will be developed.
  20. If user share "Media" is set up to use the cache drive, you do much better moving the files from "/mnt/cache" to "/mnt/cache/Media" and then letting the mover handle it.
  21. So it's not necessary to specify which USB port number? You don't seem to understand... you specify a LINUX DEVICE name, not a USB port.
  22. You use /dev/ttyUSB0 ... Linux sees the USB-to-Serial adapter as a USB TTY port.
  23. I have no exported shares on my backup server.... all the backups are pulled by the backup server, not pushed from the production servers. Ideally, I's like the backup server to stay powered down, and have automated a scheduled wake up once a week and automatically run backups, then power back down.
  24. Novell Netware used to have a nice feature "who has rights here" and display all users with rights to that path and what those rights are. That would be useful for unRAID. I'd also love to see a "Ransomware Check" feature that would identify all shares that have ANY writable users, and list those users.
  25. All of my shares are read-only.... ALL of them.... except one cache-only share called "incoming". Files going to unRAID are uploaded to "incoming" and then I log in and use MC to move them to either disk shares or leave them on cache but move them to user shares and let mover handle them.
