  1. Since I am about to fill up my Movie server (24 - 6TB drives) I am building a second server for Movies. Once that is built and running how do I combine the folders from both servers to appear as one? All movies are Blu-ray rips so data speed is important. Should I run something like Plex on a 3rd system to pull from both servers? Looking for guidance. Norco 24 drive case Unraid 6.2.4 XFS file system
  2. How I missed that I don't know! Tried that and this is as far as I can get
  3. No because I still can't remember how to get to different drives in MC. Can see all the files in the USB but for the life of me can't remember how to navigate to other drives so I can move things. Hate getting old.
  4. disk 1 8 plus has the movie folder in it and it contains the 4.4tb I have my movies sorted by rating on each drive
  5. Without parity the files move faster from Windows and I have all of those files on other drives Did a screenshot with the commands you requested What happened is I added shares where I didn't need to so I could map each individual drive. Now I am just trying to move those files off of each drive into a non shared drive so I can delete the share and clean up my mess. Been too long since I fooled with Unraid so don't remember what I used to do. And never good at command line anyway. Tks
  6. I have one folder on that drive "Movies" then each movie is in its own folder within that top level folder. Nothing else.
  7. Zonediver - when I SSH via Putty into my server I get a connection error - connection refused Rob - when I used the cp -r command it created an image rather that moving the files. I don't want a disk image, I just want to move the files What I end up with on the disk that I am coping the files to is disk1\system\docker\docker.img So I am still stuck
  8. Yes, I know this should be easy but I am stumped. Haven't ran my server for a few years so I decided to upgrade with new 6TB drives and rerip all movies (over 4K). Upgraded to 6.2.4 and started fresh with the new xfs file system. Now I have data on one drive I want to move to another, Windows is slow and I am trying to use Linux or MC. When I telnet into MC via Putty all I see is the usb drive that Unraid is on. Cannot remember for the life of me how to get to another drive in MC When I copy the files via cp -r /mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk10 it moves the files into an disc image rather that just the files as they are Something simple is driving me nuts so any help is appreciated
  9. I use a HP N36L Microserver with 1gb memory for preclearing using 32bit unraid. Here are my results while preclearing 4 - 6tb WD Red drives at the same time. These results were of the first pass preclear using Joe's standard preclear and the second pass preclear using the faster preclear. As you can see it cut the Post Read time by 18 hours or almost 50%.

  12. Code was good only up to $100 discount. Got 3 so thanks.
  13. I sent 4 2tb WD20EARS drives in for warranty and got 4 Recertified 3tb WD30EZRX drives back all under the same 3 year warranty. Nice since I was getting ready to start buying my first 3tb drives.
  14. I am running the following system: ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO 2GB memory Corsair TX650W PSU SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 controllers - controlling 16 drives Parity drive: Hitachi HDS72202 - connected to motherboard Drives: mix 6 - Hitachi HDS72202, 9 - WD EARS , and 3 - Samsung HD203WI All WD EARS drives are jumpered All 2TB drives Norco 4224 case unRaid version 4.5.6 The first 16 drives in the system are connected to the SuperMicro controllers. The spaces for the last 4 data drives and the parity drive are hooked up to the motherboard. I started having issues when I added the first WD EARS drive to the motherboard. System started having little issues and would no longer preclear drives. I could write and read that last drive with no issues. When I precleared another WD EARS drive on my other server and put it in this server then my write speeds to the data drive on the motherboard went down to 5 - 10 MB/sec where it had been 35 to 40 MB/sec before. I was also having issues getting a clean power down and the unit would run a parity check on reboot many times. I also started seeing sync issues and had one drive reported as bad yet when I ran a preclear on the bad drive it had no issues. I changed motherboards, Norco cases, and reverse breakout cables trying to figure out why my system was acting strange and why my write speeds went down so far. I replaced the two WD drives connected to the motherboard with Hitachi drives and all has returned to normal. No more sync errors, write speed it back up to almost 40 MB/sec and the system seems to be booting up and powering down without issue anymore. I have checked the AHCI setting and that is correct. My question is why would the WD drives only give me issues when they are hooked directly to the motherboard and not to the controllers. I had no issues at all until I added these drives to the motherboard. What could be the conflict? I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out and only when I replaced those WD drives on the motherboard did things go back to normal. Any help or opinions are appreciated. syslog-2011-06-17_tower2.txt
  15. Here is a current syslog after reboot. Now no more extra partitions on disk 7 either. I have no idea as to what is going on. syslog-2011-05-21_B.txt
  16. I am posting again with some of the same issues as before and some new issues. Here is what I am currently using for this server: unRaid ver 4.5.6 Norco 4224 case PSU Corsair TX650W ASUS M4A785TO-V EVO AMD processor 4gb memory 2 - Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 for drives 1 - 16 remaining drives and parity drive via reverse breakout to motherboard (drives 17 and up with parity drive) I started having issues when I got to the 5th row of drives and trying to preclear a drive. Had all kinds of error messages in my log and couldn't seem to solve it. Well since then I have changed the case, motherboard, processor, and reverse breakout cable trying to solve the issue. A week ago I posted a log and all seemed well with the changes in the equipment. Tried to preclear a drive yesterday and it failed, it tried to run and went through all the steps but the disk failed to pass. OK, maybe the drive, so I popped another in and preclear would not run due to invalid partition or something. Did another and preclear just hung there and would not run at all. So I reboot my system and go back to it this morning. I see over 3 million writes on disk 7. I bring up unmenu and now see I have 2 more partitions on disk 7 that weren't there before. So now I have 2 unknown partitions for no reason and I still can't preclear a drive on the 5th row of drives. That row contains my parity drive and drive 17 which both seem to be fine. I can write to drive 17 but it is slower than what it should be but not too bad. I get speeds from 25 to 30 MB/s where I would expect slightly over 30 for the other drives in that system. My syslog is 32mb in size since last night so it isn't posted. Any help is appreciated.
  17. Thanks, parity is hooked up to the motherboard as it is the last drive in the system.
  18. I got one replaced by them with no issue at all, in fact they seemed to go out of their way to make me happy.
  19. I have been having issues with my movie server running 4.5.6. It has seemed that the last 4 drives in my Norco have been having issues like slow writes and preclear issues. This was never an issue before and I think I have the problem solved. I replaced the reverse breakout cable and things seem to be better. Could someone pls give me their opinion on my syslog and let me know if they see anything glaring. Tks Norco 4224 case PSU Corsair TX650W ASUS M4A785TO-V EVO AMD processor 4gb memory 2 - Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 for first 16 drives remaining drives and parity drive via reverse breakout to motherboard syslog-2011-05-14.txt
  20. I know on other ASUS motherboards if you have the first group of SATA drives set to AHCI it will not detect the remaining SATA ports. If you have the first group set to IDE this is not an issue for the second group. A driver is required to detect the second group of drives if you want the setting to be AHCI. I looked at the manual for your motherboard and it does not say this but I know for a fact on other ASUS motherboards that this is the way the SATA ports are handled.
  21. Any thoughts as to which to replace first, the power supply or drive controller?? Thanks
  22. This is my second server that only contains ripped Bluray movies. This server has an ASUS M4A785-V EVO motherboard with 2 - SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 controllers. Memory is 2 sticks - Kingston KVR1066D3/2GR. The top backplane with data drives 1 -4 are on the motherboard, all other slots are on the SuperMicro controllers including the parity drive. I have used these slots to preclear drives (at least 12) as I added them to the array without issues or to my first server after my issues with the power supply. I did notice that the last time I precleared drives it did take a little longer than normal. After I added the last drive to this backplane writing to that drive (disk17) became slower than the normal 30 MB/s transfer speed. When I tried to write mkv files this week it was down to 5 - 10 MB/s transfer speed. I am using Teracopy on a 64bit Windows 7 computer to transfer to the server.
