Ahh, so splitters eh? Ok...thanks, I have some laying around..just have to open the case again

Qucik question, on the fan auto control plugin does the setting apply to all PWM fans? I have 3 detected, they all seem to reflect my 3 Case fans (Not CPU) but it looks a lot like only one of them is getting cranked up and down.

That 10TB is showing as $341.99 at the moment.

I'm emptying the last drive now, yes..this is one that I'm pulling. I guess I normally see them go down to 33M or so, it makes sense that it's not a big deal...but I thought I'd ask the wise ones before actually doing the new config ;).

Ok, I finally just rebooted and the error seems to have cleared. However, /mnt/disk6 is totally empty (No files at all) but the UI shows it at 3.06G used. Is something out of sync? I was preparing to remove a few old disks and shrink the array, should I worry that this isn't reporting proper usage before I extract and rebuild parity?

I'm holding off rebooting, I've never had a situation like this before and I'm not sure it would be wise to cast that hail mary until I know more about what is happening. Espically as I just noticed that this is sda, so my flash drive...Egads. Update: Removed the Stats plugin just on the off chance that was impacting. No change storage-diagnostics-20170706-1323.zip

It's been a long time all, sorry to come back with a request for help...but ya know....that's life. I installed a new 8TB drive on Tuesday, ran the pre-clear successfully and all is good on that front. (Damn they are fast!) Today while preparing to swap it in for my Parity drive, I was using unBALANCE to move some files around when the copy abruptly died...don't worry, I'm not going to ask about the plugin. In investigating the issue I looked in the syslog and found scrolling errors from sda: Jul 6 05:14:07 Storage kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 Jul 6 05:14:07 Storage kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Sense Key : 0x6 [current] Jul 6 05:14:07 Storage kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 ASC=0x28 ASCQ=0x0 Jul 6 05:14:07 Storage kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 08 00 Jul 6 05:14:07 Storage kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 4096 Jul 6 05:14:07 Storage rc.diskinfo[26060]: PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for force_reload() in /etc/rc.d/rc.diskinfo on line 668 Jul 6 05:14:07 Storage rc.diskinfo[26060]: SIGHUP received, forcing refresh of disks info.

I have a the syslog file and can post it, but I'm not sure it will be useful. Anyone with a clue out there?

Hey man, I love the docker and had avoided posting in the combined thread about a very minor issue...but this gives me a great chance to just put it out there! For some reason, the image on the "Dashboard" and "Plugin" page shows a broken link for Sonarr, like I said...very minor issue as everything works flawlessly...but wanted to point it out.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9946/seagate-introduces-8-tb-hard-disk-drive-for-nas Seems like a good choice, the Archive drive always worried me for some reason

Hey all, I was wondering if it is possible to mix SAS and SATA drives on one aoc-saslp-mv8? Normally I would never do this, but I've gotten a "fell off the back of the truck" deal on some SAS 4TB drives...so I thought I'd see if I could use them in the array .

I've got an email to Tom to get a new key, so that's in process. However, I don't seem to have a copy of my flash anywhere..which is totally my mistake. So I've lost drive assignments. I'm going to mount drives 1 by 1 and figure out what role each plays, so that's not a huge deal. I figure parity will not properly mount, a dead give-away! However, I just want to be VERY sure on the process to start up unraid with existing drives. I can't afford to risk losing 16TB of data and I have nowhere else to copy it. I couldn't find a page on this, but if one exists I'd love to follow instructions. Goal: Assign the drives properly (on me); need process to start array without formatting drives.

Hey all, I've been watching the price on 8G sticks for the Supermicro boards that need ECC Unregistered and ran across this offer from Superbiz: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?p=D38GE1600S&c=fr&pid=d82e61730197ec73a84739e30a27cbbd065fe95091014696f326ab3334e4482d&gclid=COqmgKDWg7UCFU-d4AodG1kAlg That LOOKS like the stick that Supermicro has listed as tested for about half the price I've seen it anywhere else. Can anyone spot something in the description that I'm missing?

You can see my hardware in my sig. I've run into some limitations running so many plugins on unraid and having VMs on my desktop for work..I have stuff scattered all over the place and it's getting quite out of hand. With the hardware I have, there is really no reason to limit the server to just unRAID use. I'm a fairly advanced tech person, and I think I have a good idea how to do this...mostly following these steps: 1> Move all the unRAID drives to the MV8's and off the motherboard. 2> Add a drive to host the ESXi virtuals Where I'm not sure of the process is how to /convert/ from booting unRAID to booting ESXi with the least risk of data loss. Anyone got any pointers?

Thanks!

It's really frustrating as a scripter to not have that available. Thought I would ask before I dug into it

Ok, searching with those errors leads me to upgrade. Will hold this thread open until I can test the most current rc. Sorry!

So two times I've started a parity check, and about 12 hours into it samba and emhttpd become unresponsive. I can telnet to the box and look at the log (which shows nothing special at all, just the scrolling "notifications" errors from simpleFeatures. All of my Plugins work and are very responsive (SAB, SB, CP, Transmission)...just the unRAID processes have the issue. This happened first yesterday, and I figured it was a fluke so restarted the box...and started a new parity check. Now it's happening again I've looked at every log I can find, nothing special noted. iostat shows: root@Storage:/tmp# iostat Linux 3.0.35-unRAID (Storage) 12/28/2012 _i686_ (8 CPU) avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 4.21 0.00 2.99 3.83 0.00 88.97 Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn sdb 443.63 607.98 4665.00 35083652 269193380 sda 645.15 32439.77 399.19 1871935635 23035224 sdd 452.53 32041.10 0.00 1848930312 88 sdc 450.60 32110.72 0.00 1852947872 48 sde 0.03 1.29 0.00 74455 230 sdf 0.00 0.00 0.00 200 0 sdg 441.22 32040.84 0.00 1848915172 48 sdh 453.48 32040.74 0.00 1848909392 48 sdi 416.39 32040.71 0.00 1848907904 48 sdj 398.49 32040.68 0.00 1848906340 48 sdk 389.02 32438.63 397.93 1871869831 22962252 sdl 361.34 32112.15 0.00 1853030375 48 sdm 335.27 32119.82 0.00 1853472700 48 sdn 147.50 32064.19 1.26 1850262908 72548 md1 0.13 0.52 0.00 29796 88 md2 0.71 70.14 0.00 4047396 48 md3 0.03 0.10 0.00 5864 48 md4 0.03 0.13 0.00 7428 48 md5 0.04 0.15 0.00 8916 48 md6 0.07 0.28 0.00 16236 48 md7 0.64 22.35 1.26 1289932 72548 md8 0.75 79.23 0.00 4572220 48 md9 0.70 71.57 0.00 4129860 48 md10 99.51 0.12 397.93 7112 22962252 But I noticed as I was looking around that the "load" on the box which was at 3-5 during the parity check until this point is climbing slowly. After ~60 minutes it is up to 30 and still climbing. Any ideas? Should I let the thing sit until the parity check is over? How can I see what is going on with the check without web access? ServerSpecs in Sig, running 5.0-rc5-r8168

So in the web IPMI utility, I see two temps. "System" and "Peripheral". I don't /think/ system is the CPU, but I wanted to check with those that know better. If that's not the CPU temp, anyone gotten lm-sensors to work on the Supermicro (model below) with a XeonV2 proc?

/boot/extra packages are installed on boot, it is designed for things like this...simple installs that don't need a configuration. So htop will be there after you reboot . Did you notice you can do left/right arrow to see parts of long commands that "top" would cut at the edge of the screen?

Gents, I think this find is worthy of spreading past the Newznab plugin community. In evaluating my server, I found it difficult to track down what the "real" cpu/memory situation was. Unix load is helpful as a blended number....but it doesn't really help you drill down. I went looking and found a FANTASTIC enhanced "top" utility, it shows you all your cores, visually representing CPU load, Memory/Swap. Gives you easy to figure out sorting/filtering of the process list..and even lets you use the arrow keys to select a process and do tasks like change the "nice" level or kill it. There is also easy access to the process tree. All in all, it's the best text/ncurses based way I've ever seen for seeing what is going on with a Linux server. Just log into your unraid as root and copy these commands: cd /boot/extra wget http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.1/hardware/htop/0.8.3/htop-0.8.3-i486-3sl.txz installpkg htop-0.8.3-i486-3sl.txz The only trick is making sure your terminal is properly set...with secureCRT I had to do: export TERM=linux You can try the common ones to see which term works for you. linux, ansi, xterm etc. Here is a link to the page: http://htop.sourceforge.net/

That was it...how silly of me...just had it in the wrong port. Sorry for the stupid question!

Ahhh, I think I see what you are saying. Let me reboot again with the ethernet cable in the other on-board port.

Nope, I can fire up IPMI and it works just fine, but nothing from eth0. This is 5.0-rc5 I've restarted and have the IPMI port connected (The one next to the keyboard jack, just over the USB ports) and the closest ethernet port to the power supply (of the two "normal" ports).

Tried to get the syslog, but without network it is kind of a pain. It is finding eth0 with the e1000e driver
