[Plugin] File Activity – See What’s Keeping Your Unraid Disks Busy
Was the download log button removed? I noticed I wasn't on the v2 update having just updated to unraid 7.2.4, when I updated to v2 though I noticed that the download logs button is no longer there, where would I be able to grab the full logs from now?

unRAID doesn't always boot up, frustrating when updating or making hardware changes
Hey guys, running into an issue that appears to not be an uncommon one, where unRAId will not boot up from the flash drive. unRAID even recommends to use another USB slot on your machine in case it happens. This will ***sometimes*** work for me, but not always and I'm stuck playing musical chairs moving the stick around only to find it will start working on the port it wasn't working on 15 mins ago. I am using a USB 3.0 drive, but would that be the issue if, again it starts to work again after moving it around a few times, sometimes even the same port it wasn't working on previously? This honestly wouldn't be that big of an issue if it weren't for the fact that I've recently been turning it on/off for drive swaps or installing new hardware which understandably shouldn't happen very often but my concern is when, not if, I eventually get a power outage and have to restart the thing. My CCTV VM is housed on the thing and want it to come back up without issues afterwards without my having to move the USB around a few times. I'm running this on this USB stick using an ASRock B760M-HDV/M.2 D4 MOBO if it matters.

Trying to understand the data rebuild notification
Yes I did have one prior to this, I was testing to see if the rebuild would pause as stated on this post when I was at about 3%. I figured it was barely starting out so wasn't a huge loss in case it didn't work. For those who come upon this in the future, it will not continue from where you left off, it started me back up at 0% once the system came back online.

Trying to understand the data rebuild notification
Hey guys, a few weeks ago, a refurbished drive I bought in Nov started giving SMART errors so I replaced it and today it finally finished the data rebuild. I am a bit confused though by the notification I got when I logged into the server this morning as it's showing the data rebuild was cancelled at 5:35AM and then a minute later that it completed successfully. Should I be concerned or is this what is supposed to show?

Spare drives for minimal downtime?
Hey guys, so yesterday I went ahead and updated my server and of course it wouldn't boot afterwards. As I scrambled to try to figure out why it wasn't booting and try to implement a fix this made me realize I could just have a separate flash drive to swap out between updates to avoid these types of headaches. The server was down for about an hour, which isn't much, but since my CCTV Server is housed on it, that's an hour of lost footage. That same night I went and purchased 2 more of the same Samsung drives I had previously purchased since they were so cheap but I wanted to check in, is there a best practice for these spares? Is this even possible without having multiple licenses?

What is the fastest route to add disks?
Hey guys, what is the fastest way to add disks and keep the server reading/writing without issues? I thought I had it figured out but feel I may be wrong in this regard. I have a server in which I manage somve VM's and docker containers for CCTV and rarrs which all use about 3 drives, 2 for the array and 1 for parity. I was running out of space with my media drive having about 200GB left and my CCTV drive about 1TB left so I ordered 2 refurbished 18 TB drives. I received the drives and installed them and immediately unRAID started to do a Disk clear upon bootup. After about a day it finished and both drives were added to array. I wanted to do a pre-clear as I understood that you should perform that on all new disk and especially refurbished ones so I took disk 4 offline, removed MBR on it for Pre-Clear plugin to be able to see the drive and started that process. After about 24 hrs that completed with no errors. I then added the drive back to the array but now it's doing a data rebuild. I understand that even though the drive was empty, this still needs to happen but while it's happening can I move the data from disk 3 to drive 4? If so, can I then start the Pre-Clear on disk 3 once the data is moved over? Or am I overthinking everything and I don't even need to do a Pre-Clear at this point? My concern is with the length of time this is taking, I anticipate almost 2 weeks before I'll be all done. I'm not exactly hurting for space at this point but just want to make sure I'm following correct procedure is all.

**VIDEO GUIDE** How to setup up a Pihole docker container for network wide adblocking **
I followed this guide and was able to get this going on my main vlan but noticed that devices on my other vlans don't connect, even if I manually assign a dns to it on their settings. I can reach the portal and ping pihole from those devices, I just can't use it's services though.
