OK, so I have moved all files off the 240GB SSD which was part of the array into the cache pool, reset the configuration and removed the SSD from the array. Parity rebuild has started - running at 100+ MB/s - problem solved! Not sure what the issue with the SSD is - maybe age and lack of TRIM support on the controller but glad it's sorted now. Now to allow the parity check to complete and preclear the next 16TB drive!

Thanks Jorge, diskspeed has sent me down the right path! Looks like I may have an issue with the 240GB SSD for some reason - not giving any errors at the moment but...: I'm copying the files on this drive off onto a spare USB drive I have using Midnight Commander via the terminal It's only running at 5-6MB/s. Diskspeed shows speeds on all the other spinning disks are running ok. I've tried changing the cable it's using on the LSI card - no dice I've tried running the drive from the onboard SATA port on the motherboard - no dice I've tried changing the SATA power cable - no dice. At this stage, I'm thinking to simply move the data (slowly) from the SSD into the other drives on the array then do a new config excluding the SSD from the array - would there be any issues with this (apart from the fact I currently have no parity protection). Thanks again

Hi all, I'm running a Gen8 microserver - 5 drives in the array in total. 4 x 3TB running in the main drive bays and one 240GB SSD (the aim is to retire this shortly and move the data to a protected cache) running through a BR10i flashed to LSI firmware. All been running great but I have nearly run out of space so need to replace 2 of the 3TB disks with 2x16TB drives. I have precleared 1x disk to test for any issues and it has completed successfully. I have therefore stopped the array, and swapped out the current 3TB drive for the 16TB drive. This has triggered a parity rebuild which is going VERY slow - started at 6MB/s, now at 5MB/s with 32 days remaining... Anything I can do to diagnose the issue as I believe this should be running much faster than this? - I've done a search and looked in the logs but can't see anything that stands out at the moment. I'll post my diagnostics and any pointers would be very much welcomed. Thanks

Thanks to gfjardim for creating the CUPS docker! I’m trying to get it working with a brother HL1210W printer. I have downloaded the CUPS .deb driver package from the brother website and placed this into the CUPS/brother/ folder. The printer itself is on my network wirelessly. I know the IP and have put the following network path into CUPS: lpd://internalIP/binary_p1 I have then selected the HL1210W CUPS driver which appears as a result of me having downloaded the driver file - note the printer name appears twice in the driver list for some reason. Selecting either of these does not work. This is as described on the brother website on how to configure the printer for use with CUPS. On trying to print a test page I get a ‘filter failed’ error. I can’t determine what is causing this as I seem to have followed all the instructions! To test this, I have tried running with one of the other brother drivers (HL2140). When printing the test page with this driver selected it sends the test page, the printer light blinks 3 times, nothing comes out and the job is marked as ‘Completed’ in CUPS. Any help gratefully received! Thanks, Phil

Update on my own questions: 1) the DEBG log entries calm down after the docker has been open a while. Nothing I can see that I've done so I think maybe it's to do with initialisation and loading of all shows on iplayer into the get_iplayer database. 2) Using midnight commander through ssh I can navigate to the incomplete folder and the files all have the correct names. It appears the issue arises because the show name has a colon in it which Linux is happy with but windows is not. If I change the show name in the docket cofig to not include the colon it doesn't pick up the show. The files are still not being moved to the complete folder however, not sure if this is because of the same colon issue? If anyone has any insights I'd appreciate it! Cheers, Phil

Hi all, and thanks binhex for the container! Couple of questions: 1) in my get_iplayer docker log I'm getting the following output about 4 times a second: 2017-01-24 08:57:40,711 DEBG 'get-iplayer' stderr output: Is this normal behaviour or have I got a setting wrong? 2) Regarding show downloads, I have a show set to download and it seems to be pulling the shows down correctly to /data/get_iplayer/incomplete/ folder as .flv files then converting to mp4. At this point the files are not being moved to /data/complete The files are left in the incomplete folder with random text strings as the name (possibly the episode ID?) Because of the log file filling so quickly it's hard for me to debug on the fly! Any help much appreciated! Thanks again, PhilUK

Hi All, Just got my hands on an LSI 8078ELP card using the 1078 chipset. What are my options with this & unraid? Cheers, Phil
