  1. Do the passthrough. 100$ are totally worth the hassle free setup and peace of mind
  2. Just do: find /mnt/disk* > textfile.txt Merry xmas
  3. Do you have the array disk and the cache disk in the same (perhaps slow) sata card?
  4. Using dd i get +400MB/s (4GB from /dev/null). Maxing out gigabit using ethernet on my laptop and any where from 75 - 160MB/s from my ubuntu vm using 3 old laptop drives in raid0 using ZFS. Both unraid and ubuntu are running on the same Esxi host and connected via samba
  5. You can skip the 30-60 sek network delay if you only have one NIC and choose "Enable STP: = NO" in unraid
  6. Unused memory is wasted memory. Over time linux caches more and more stuff to memory that makes things faster, but as soon as the server would need the ram it would free it. Look at top or htop and look at active vs cached memory
  7. If you use df -h /mnt/user you get the descriptions with it
  8. If you have the time and patience I would upgrade to unraid 6 and use VMs for all apps. Plugins will always be a bit of a hassle unless they are contained in e.g. Docker Just spin up a Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine, read a bit about the setup in the forums and then you can use all these programs natively on Ubuntu and let the package manager handle all conflicts (you should not run into any) Then unraid can focus on what it was designed to do while your vm can be used to run other services
  9. Could you run amazon sync client in a linux VM under unraid 6 with xen?
  10. Its in the arch repos. Just pacman -S openvpn Check the arch wiki for a good tutorial if you get in any trouble Installed it already using this vm and it was really easy
  11. New database version. wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_databases/Versions
  12. I read a linux for dummies back in the day that was a pretty good start
  13. I have had a USB controller conflict with my saslp card in a esxi setup. I just plug into another controller and have not seen the problem come back in 1-2 years
  14. Hey guys Was helping a friend setting up his new Unraid server and used this great vm. I noticed two things that I had to do: Madsonic Letters like Ö ü á etc did not work since it wants en_US.UTF-8 not the locale set in the arch vm en_UK.UTF-8 The fix is to uncomment line 157 en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen Then run locale-gen The other solution would be to change the locale in lines 21-22 in /var/madsonic/madsonic.sh Sickbeard The other problem I saw was auto processing. I had to give the sabnzbnd user access to the post processing files chown -R sabnzbd:sabnzbd /opt/sickbeard/autoProcessTV/ My recommendation is that sick/sab/headphones/cp all run as user:nobody I don't see the reason to have multiple users for this Then we have to accomidate that we both have python2 and python3 in this vm Change the first line in to /opt/sickbeard/autoProcessTV/sabToSickBeard.py to #!/usr/bin/env python2 Since we are talking about Sickbeard the update fails since it has wrong permission but running this command fixes that chown -R sickbeard:sickbeard /opt/sickbeard/
  15. Yes you would use video cards with passthrough. You could send the hdmi over Ethernet if you have 2x cables from your server to the tv. The problem I have is sending the remote over USB since I hate phone remotes
  16. I say move forward. If people have a nfs 3 player only odds are that it has samba. Worst case people could stay on unraid 5x
  17. Yeah it does that eventually, but..... It gives you about 20 errors and then you lose all downloads that are in progress before you shut down. Then i´m a bit scared how sickbeard, couchpotato madsonic etc would handle their media folders not being available. I know the do some scans when they start up. My workaround if anyone is interested The relevant line in: /usr/lib/systemd/system/sabnzbd.service ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c "sleep 65 && /opt/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -l0"
  18. How are you guys handling the 30-60 sec delay of network? I have tried using fstab for nfs/samba and it fails since there is no network at boot time. Using autofs does not work with services like sabnzbd because sab starts before the network is connected and therefore cannot mount the download folder Manually starting all the services after network is connected is one scenario but rather boring. Adding sleep 60 in the systemd service config could be a solution but I wanted to see how you guys were handling it and if the network delay is something that is being worked on?
  19. I have had a crappy USB drive die on me and Tom have me a new key the same day
