[VIDEO GUIDE] Using Telegraf to Monitor Unraid
Thanks for the guide! Like others most of what's available out there at this moment is out of date, including the all-in-one container (GUS) which no longer works. I did resolve a few speed-bumps in the instructions; including how to resolve the invalid reference format error as mentioned above, along with getting SMART monitoring working. So for this one (which I ran into as well): docker: invalid reference format. See 'docker run --help'. The command failed. I watched TechHut's video alongside the instructions, the video had it correct but the instructions just have them flipped. Original instructions were: Add the following Extra Parameters: /bin/bash -c "/entrypoint.sh telegraf" Extra Argument: --user telegraf:$(stat -c '%g' /var/run/docker.sock) It should be (or at least worked for me): Add the following Extra Parameters: --user telegraf:$(stat -c '%g' /var/run/docker.sock) Post Argument: /bin/bash -c "/entrypoint.sh telegraf" And for SMART queries and telemetry to work, I looked up some documentation and within the 'telegraph.conf' file, I had to add "use_sudo = true" which I discovered from a Reddit post. Though I now get HDD disk temps and SMART information, the historical view for temperature over 6 hours isn't working for me ("Drive SMART Temps - Last 6 hours", still trying to figure that out. [[inputs.smart]] attributes = true use_sudo = true

Question: ZFS cache pool and interactions with the mover transferring files to XFS array
Hi all! I searched high and low as there's been a flurry of ZFS enthusiasts given it's availability now with Unraid. I have the following questions for those more experienced with it's implementation and usage with Unraid: I have a fairly 'vanilla' setup with several disks in an XFS array and 2x SSD's as a cache pool (set as BTRFS mirror) where items are moved the array nightly. I've converted the cache pool to a zfs mirrored pool thanks to Spaceinvader One's helpful video. It works! Questions though: Does Unraid automatically make use of snapshots, creating them? I've seen a few threads that allude to the fact that if you're using Docker folders (and not docker.img's) it appears to automatically create snapshots of your folders, I'm a little confused there despite looking deeper as I've never had to worry about that before. There was a reddit thread where a user discovered a whole bunch of snapshots being created that they discovered after installing the ZFS Master Plugin and it seems like it was by design? I did find it odd it was their 'system' share and not the 'appdata' share that had a whole bunch of dataset snapshots despite not having triggered that themselves. More importantly, what happens to a dataset on the ZFS cache pool after it's contents have been moved to the XFS array by the mover? Does the snapshot still reside on the ZFS cache pool taking up space? And if not, if a user chose to restore the dataset, do the files get 'pulled' back from the XFS array since they no longer reside on the ZFS cache pool? I can't wrap my head around this part. reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/14pr1g5/zfs_system_snapshots/

Thanks for such a quick reply, sounds like a plan!

(SOLVED) Restoring Flash device using a backup from older version of Unraid?
Did some searching on the forum and Reddit but apologies if this topic was covered elsewhere. My Kingston USB key of 2 years started throwing up issues this morning. Bad move on my end is I failed to do a USB backup after the 6.12.4 release that was installed on my NAS. I only have 6.12.3 USB flash backed up. Would it be fairly disastrous or not-recommended that I transfer the older 6.12.3 backup to a new USB flash key and attempt to boot? Fortunately, I haven't made any settings or changes in-between as they were released in fairly close succession.
