Thanks, thats good to know. If I were to move the drive from the array to unassigned devices do you think I'd be able to do something similar by mounting and unmounting the drive on a schedule?

I've been tinkering with this for several weeks now and wanted to run my needs and current work-in-progress by everyone to get feedback and suggestions. We have an office setup with 3 daily users and 3 more that occasionally connect to our network. We are using a firewall and unifi wifi system. I have installed VEEAM on the laptops and take incremental backups daily at lunchtime for the daily users. The backups share is on the cache drive. I would like to have the drive with backups spin down so it's semi air-gapped other than the one hour or so we are actively making backups. I have found that VEEAM needs access to both the cache and to see the other incremental backups so the array drive must be spun up when the process starts. Using chatgpt I have written user scripts for the following: Spin up the drive - set on a schedule Spin Down - also on schedule Mover Watcher - to move the daily backups off the cache to the array once it detects activity has stopped I think I just about have everything close to working, but the drive I am using is a Seagate Ironwolf 12tb. I think it's not cooperating with the scripts, maybe because it's designed to be used 24/7. My initial questions are: Is there an easier way to accomplish what I'm trying to do with making the drive more inaccessible when not in use? Should i have gotten a different type of drive with this goal in mind? Is there a workaround to get the drive to spin down? Chatgpt mentioned the hd-idle plugin, but I couldn't find it in the app store. Is there a way that I could fully air gap a drive on the array or would I need to make it an unassigned device? Let me know what else I can provide and thanks in advance for your input!

@Veah Yeah, they are on the same network. I was playing around with it last night and believe I found the issue. When I turn off the tailscale app on my laptop I then am able to connect to the local web gui. Something changed recently because that didn't seem to bother anything when I initially had everything set up.

@JorgeB I thought also. The thing that's really confusing is that the same thing is happening on all three of our laptops. I have a separate unraid server at our office and the same laptops have no problem accessing the web gui on that one.

@JorgeB, I tried this was not able to get the web gui to pull up on my laptop even after restarting the laptop. Tailscale IP didn't work either, but I assume it probably doesn't work in safe mode. I was, however, able to use my cell phone and browse to the local web GUI....

I've been struggling with this issue for a few weeks. After playing around with it for a while here's whats going on: I can access Unraid web GUI after turning on the server When I start the array the web GUI is no longer available when I browse to the local IP I can still browse to the web GUI through the tailscale IP address I cannot access the shared files though file explorer I have to restart the server and PC in order to regain access to the local IP interface, again when I start the array the cycle starts again I tried disabling Docker this evening, but it doesn't seem to help. Any input would be much appreciated!

I think this was a rookie mistake as I was able to access after I reset everything, including my PC, a second time.

Not sure what happened to my server. It was working fine earlier today, but then I noticed I couldn't access any of the SMB files from file explorer. I tried opening up the GUI, but it isn't working. However, when go to the tailscale address for that server to access remotely, it is pulling up. I'm kind of new at this so let me know what further info I can provide that might help diagnose the problem. Thanks for any input! Great community here!

I have been working through the two Space Invader One videos on setting up a Windows 10 VM. I got through the bulk of it just fine, but when I tried to pass through the GPU it started having issues. I tried his trick in the second video that recommended to add this to the config: vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 When I rebooted now I can't pull up the web interface and it says server not found. I am running the current version of Unraid. Unfortunately, I can't pull it up right now to show screenshots of anything. I have a supermicro X11SCA-F, i5-8500T, Gigabyte 3070 TI. If anyone can help me at least get this back up and running that would be much appreciated! Let me know what other info I can provide if this isn't enough.
