    Best was to protect files?

    in unRAID Server 4.5 [No new topics]

    Posted

    Hi Mopar -

     

    If you have PLUS version of unRAID, then you can create three different users. For example: dad, mom, daughter.

     

    Then on the share you want to protect, you can set the EXPORT drop down to:

    Export: Read only

    Exception: dad

    Valid Users: dad,mom,daughter

     

    That should do the trick, but please make sure you are at least running the PLUS version of unRAID. Free version does not support user level.

     

    Hope that helps!!!

    How to make INVALID user not see the folder

    in unRAID Server 4.5 [No new topics]

    Posted

    Hi -

     

    I just got my PLUS key to today, and I am working on setting up my unRAID server to make a folder "inaccessible/hide" to a specific user:

     

    For example:

     

    I got two users set up on my box: root and sakh1979

    There are two shares: movies, and personal

     

    I want both the root and sakh1979 users to see and access the movies folder, but I don't want sakh1979 to even see the personal folder. I only want the root user to see both the movies and personal folder and have full access to it.

     

    Is that possible to do?

     

    Thanks,

    Question about upgrading to PLUS

    in unRAID Server 4.5 [No new topics]

    Posted

    Hi -

     

    I am assuming that what I am about to ask is a very basic question, but I wanted to make sure I am doing it correctly.

     

    I just got an email from Tom, with my PLUS key file. The email states that I copy the PLUS.key file to the "config" folder.

     

    I want to verify that the "config" folder Tom is referring to is the /boot/config/ folder, am I right? So, I simply copy the file to that folder and reboot the unRAD, and my server is promoted to PLUS status?

     

    Thanks,

    SVN on unRAID?

    in unRAID Server 4.5 [No new topics]

    Posted

    Hi -

     

    I am curious as to: if anyone has installed SVN on unRAID, to version control their files?

     

    I use Mac Mini as my primary computer for research, and would like to version control all my source code to unRAID 4.5.6. Is that possible?

     

    Or, the other way to go would be to use SVN on my Mac Mini, and use the unRAID as storage for the SVN...

     

    Is there a good article/tutorial that shows how to go about setting it up?

     

    Thanks,

    5 Port Trendnet Gigabit Switch - $17.99

    in Good Deals!

    Posted

    Hi -

     

    I have a question regarding placing this switch in a network. If this is a wrong thread/section to ask this question please forgive me. But here it goes, I already have a 1/100 wireless router in place. Currently my Mac Mini and unRAID server is connected to it to access the internet.

     

    I know, from reading the forum, that the Mac Mini's read and write to unRAID will be much faster if I have a gigabit network in place. So, my question is if I buy this switch and connect my Mac Mini and unRAID to it will it make my connection from Mac Mini to the unRAID server a gigabit speed?

     

    Thanks,

    mount drive with a Mac??

    in unRAID Server 4.5 [No new topics]

    Once you connect to your data disk on your unRAID, consider making an alias of the mounted drive.  Then you can just double-click the alias whenever you want to connect.  If you set it to remember your login credentials, you won't even need to authenticate.

     

    Hi Printingdude -

     

    Can you please give an example of how to make an alias of the mounted drive, and how to do the login credentials as well?

    Hi GK20 -

     

    I just bought the SanDisk Micro USB stick too, so I am not sure if it really was the stick. Because, after I reset the motherboard back to default and then manually changed all the setting to boot from the USB stick it started to work, so I am not sure what the problem is.

     

    Regarding the time in the motherboard: I never set the motherboard's time correctly, so when I was looking at it yesterday I noticed that the time had drifted a lot, but when the unRAID was up it started showing the correct time. So, my question is does the unRAID software also set the motherboard's internal clock???

     

    Thanks,

    Hi BRiT -

     

    Thank you for the valueable suggestion. I will do that test tomorrow morning, as it is getting very late here. If it is a battery issue, then is it hard to change the battery in my motherboard? FYI I am using "BIOSTAR A760G M2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard" .

     

    Thanks,

    Yes, I will be doing several restart test tomorrow morning, and making sure the USB will stay as my bootable device, (for tonight I am content with the fact that everything is back to working condition, thanks to you guys. By the way, currently I am running the Parity Check just in case if some happened to my data).

     

    I bought the "BIOSTAR A760G M2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard" suggested from the budget build section on this form. Does anyone else using this motherboard have this issue? If so, there is a permanent solution to it, or what I just did will save me headache in the future?

    All -

     

    Now its working, somehow the BIOS setting that I changed and saved did not get saved, and that is why I was not able to boot. But, any way, I should not be worrying about if my unRAID is going to or not going to start every time I reboot my machine. Is there a solution to this problem???

    Hi graywolf -

     

    I already double checked my BIOS configuration, still the same problem as stated above. Do you guys think may be my USB drive has gone bad??? By the way every thing is new in my unRAID server, I did not use any old parts, hoping that I would not be facing this problem. But, I guess this is part of learning process, and we all need to do this one time or the other.

    Hi queeg -

     

    I already tried changing the BIOS setting. I removed all other hard drives from the bootable disk option and only kept the SanDisk UBS, but still the unRAID does not boot properly. The new thing is when I tried changing the BIOS and only made the UBS as the bootable drive, now I get a message fromt he BIOS stating that I need to "reboot my machine, or insert a bootable device and then press any key...."

     

    Please help.

    Hi! I am new to this form, and have been using the unRAID for about couple of weeks. Two weeks ago I set up my box with the budget minded configuration on this form. I assembled everything myself and the machine booted fine, and everything. I use the recommended SanDisk USB Drive... Everything was going fine till today....

     

    Today morning before I left for work, I shutdown my unRAID server, because a maitainance guy was comming to my apartment to change the AC filter, therefore I thought I should shut the unRAID server down, in case he switches the fuse off.

     

    After comming home this evening I turned on my unRAID server and was hoping everything to work normally, but I would not see the unRAID server in my network, nor could I ping it. So, I hooked up the monitor and keybord to the unRAID server. After fiddeling  for while I think I know what is causing the problem. My motherboard is not recognizing the SanDisk Micro USB as a bootable device....!!! But it used to work fine till this morning, needless to say I am a little frustrated, and dissappointed, and I really don't know what to do next.... Somebody Please help me out......

     

    Thanks,
