Don't know if this helps any since they are NOT the WD PRO 8TB but here are the temps for the 6 non-pro 8TB WD Reds I just precleared: 39 (min/max 21/44) 38 (min/max 20/43) 37 (min/max 20/42) 35 (min/max 20/39) 39 (min/max 23/45) 37 (min/max 24/42)

You could use Unassigned Devices to map SMB/NFS shares and access the other system just like it was a mounted drive. That help?

I like ASRock - EP2C602-4L/D16

These are hard to find now but I've used these for my PCI cards. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118204

I would suspect the battery on the MB if your bios is not keeping settings.

Me too.

For me it was dropping drives every couple of hours to couple of months without an apparent reason that I could determine. And that was when they were passed to a Windows VM and not part of the unRAID array. I would never even consider using drives in the array on the Marvel controller. I'm testing fate again with another marvel controller but this time it is drives running under unRAID but NOT part of the array. Needed 4+ ports on PCI not PCIe slot and my Silicon Image 3124 card was not recognized so had to use my SAT2-MV8 based Marvel controller. May have to research other cards if it starts dropping drives. Just tried cards I had on hand.

I've never gotten a bad LSI based (IBM M1015 and Dell Perc H310 actually) card when I made sure it was a used server pull from the USA. Didn't want to tempt fate and get a NEW one from China.

I didn't convert the file and used windows to get the vmdk. I downloaded the ova from the article link I downloaded the windows version of VMWare Player 14.0 article link I installed VMWare Player on my Laptop I opened the ova in VMWare Player menu: Player/File/Open then selected "cloudready-free-64bit-59.3.37.ova" file I made note of the "storage path for the new virtual machine" path Once VMWare Player had completed the import I went to the path above and copied the vmdk file to unRAID Then I setup a new VM like I outlined above.

Top post. Link with name "VMware OVA Download" would be my guess. Then follow instructions to convert in first post. Probably have to change file names some I think. They have changed from those used in first post. I just used VirtualBox 5.1 to extract the vmdk but it aborted with wrong version so I may not be able to go any farther. VMWare workstation 11 didn't seem to like it either. Haven't tried the player in the linked article yet. OK I was able to extract the vmdk from the ova by loading it in VMWare player 14 as linked in the article. Then I transferred the vmdk to unRAID v6.3.5 and setup a VM from the template. I had to change the following to get it to boot properly. Switch to manual for the 1st VDisk and type in the full path to the VMDK. For me: /mnt/cache/VMs/ChromeOS/cloudready-free-64bit-59.3.37-disk1.vmdk Switch from VirtIO to either IDE or Sata for controller for the VMDK Switch to cirrus for the VNC video driver May need to boot first with a single core I did but it works now with multiple cores - so maybe don't need this. Just installed this on my N54L server that is running unRAID 6.5.0 same steps.

If you are going external and want something that usually comes with a port multiplier but also has a version that comes with a SFF-8088 connector you could try one of these: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1PC48K8990&cm_re=sans_digital-_-9SIA1PC48K8990-_-Product

After going to the gateway support site here http://www.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/drivers-downloads Far left pane: "Desktops" the middle pane: "DX Series" and far right pane: DX4831 I found this bios update: http://global-download.gateway.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Gateway_P01.B1_A_A.zip?acerid=634145878115459568&Step1=DESKTOP&Step2=DX SERIES&Step3=DX4831&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=GATEWAY&SC=PA_6G Hope that helps.

I had to turn off comskip in the SageTV docker on one of my unRAID servers. It was causing the docker to crash with OOM errors. Running Windows version of comskip from a Windows VM and DirMon2 is working great. So no crashes but problems when I ran comskip contained in the SageTV docker. It was on the SageTV docker that is recording from HD-PVRs. Have no problem with comskip on any other box that is recording Mpeg2 from OTA and QAM.

I bought an add-on to for IPMI on my S2600 board. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816117283

Wish the recovery tools for XFS and BTRFS were as good as ReiserFS. I had a similar thing happen to me on unRAID 4.7. I had a full 2TB cache drive that I put in as parity and started a parity build but stopped it after 5 minutes. I got back all but 200GB of data off it.

What USB 3.0 PCIe card do you have? I had to switch 2 of my slots on my ASRock - EP2C602-4L/D16 to be GEN1 to match the OLD TV tuners I had plugged in or they were not recognized. Now with a USB 3.0 PCIe card I would not expect it to be GEN1 but maybe the slot is set to GEN1 and it needs to be GEN2 or 3 for the card?

OK I thought you said you were having problems copying them. To access them over SMB you need to set the permissions appropriately in your script that copies them. Array files have to be nobody:users. I would tell you to use new permissions but that is for drives in the array and the cache.

You should be able to copy them as root. So you should be able to login to the console and copy them. I use MC to copy files on unRAID. Not sure what user the User Scripts run under but if it is root then it should copy just fine. If you can't copy them as root then they must be open somewhere.

Use the User Scripts plugin. Probably set it to run at array start.

I agree with other posters. I have a Marvel 9230 based MB controller (like a link above has) and it would always drop drives. It would take anywhere from less than a day to 3 weeks. I was using it as a local controller to a VM at the time so it never caused me problems in unRAID - so I was lucky.

To MOVE a directory in MC you use the F6 key. Just navigate one side to the /tmp directory like suggested and then navigate the other side to the directory you want to move. Highlight the directory to move and press F6.

That port 1 is probably the IPMI network port. On the ASRock - EP2C602-4L/D16 the IPMI nic port is definitely not intuitive where it is placed. Highlighted port is the IPMI port on the IO backplane. Also with unRAID 6.x I was never able to get the onboard marvel 9230 controller to work acceptably and disabled it and removed all drives connected to it. That is the other graphic with the marvel ports highlighted. Note the EP2C606-4L/D16 which is in my graphic is the same layout as the EP2C602-4L/D16 - opps!

You could try disabling the USB3.1 controller in the bios while leaving the USB2.0 controller and see if that gets rid of your problems. HD-PVRs only need USB2.0 so you would still have that working. You might also try moving around any PCIe cards to different slots as that may also eliminate the problem from suggestions I've seen to others with this problem. When I got this I ended up having better luck without the USB3.0 controller but in my case it just took longer for the error to show up. I ran out of time to test further changes so swapped unRAID to a different MB and put Win7 back on the original.

I think so. I have a UPS for each of my computers as well as another for my router, switch and DirecTV STBs. But I don't think a file system has a bigger risk over another without a UPS.

I would run unRAID on it without plugins, dockers or VMs and no cards not needed for NAS functionality (so just HBAs). If it works for several weeks that way then you can try adding plugins, dockers and VMs one at a time until you encounter another problem. Only once you have all the plugins dockers and VMs working that you want to use then add additional cards like USB, Network and Video cards. Once everything is working with your additional cards you can then try to pass through any to your VMs. This should let you discover a cause of the problems but will be time consuming. I have an ASRock - EP2C602-4L/D16 that is working well for me with unRAID with lots of Windows VMs. The server has no video out on it. I use IPMI to access the local unRAID console screen and RDP to access the VMs. When I set it up originally I ran it as an unRAID NAS only for several weeks to be sure it was stable before I added VMs or even plugins to it. I had another box that had problems running unRAID 6.4 with a Windows 7 VM. It appeared to work much better (weeks between issues instead of hours or days) - when I disabled USB3 but it still wasn't stable enough that way to try to pass through the iGPU to the VM like I wanted. I'm sure if I had just used unRAID as a NAS on it with maybe only Dockers and no VMs it would have worked. I ended up abandoning the attempt and re-installing Windows 7 bare metal on that box like it was before. Been working for several month now and worked for years with Windows 7 bare metal before the attempt to install unRAID with a Windows VM.
