Just confirming that I have the exact same issue. I have about 6 computers on my network, two of which use Windows 10. The Windows 10 machines were fine until the recent update. Now unRAID is not visible to the network. If I try //TOWER, I will get access occasionally (sometimes an error, sometimes a password is needed, or it just simply connects).

Been using Dynamix for a while now and its great. Quick question, I noticed recently that when I use the webGUI that all my HDD indicators on my hot swap bays light up until I exit out. Not sure if it's always been that way or not. Is this regular behavior?

I was switching out the stock 120mm fans for some Be Quiet Pure Wings 2 and noted where the fans were actually plugged in. Turns out that FAN1 and FAN4 are the rear fans while FAN3 is the CPU fan. FAN2 is actually the 200mm fan on top. Basically, the critical reading was present because I was using the fan controller to set it to low. Medium sets the reading to Warning while High sets it to Normal. Seems like changing the threshold is the solution in this case. Although, is there is simple way to do this in Windows? The only device I have running Linux is an old beat up Compaq laptop.

Interesting, I'll look into changing the thresholds. Just for reference, should a CPU fan be running around 300RPM? That seems a little too low for me. Is it because unRAID doesn't stress the CPU too much or something? By the way, I'm using the stock Intel cooler.

Admittedly, this is my first time using IPMI so I'm am stilling getting used to all the features. Regardless, I must say that it is pretty amazing. The only nitpick I'm having is that web interface keeps giving me a critical reading. I'm lead to believe that this is because of the FAN2 reading on my server. I'm pretty sure this is the 4-pin stock CPU fan using PWM. Not sure what exactly the issue is, but I've attached a screenshot of my sensor readings. Any clue as to what's going on?

My new build uses an Antec 1200 and was pretty quiet until I hooked up the drive cages. I'm using x4 iStarUSA BPN-DE350SS and have the fans at low. Not sure what RPM this sets the fans to. Anyone have any experience with these cages and how to silence them? In fact, could I remove the fans all together and let my case do the cooling?

So I'm in the process of moving from a SFF build to a full tower. The board in the new build is a SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCM-F-O. I had everything ready to go and moved my old drives and USB stick to the new server. However, I was unable to access the webGUI. I hooked up the server to a monitor and didn't notice anything unusual. I then moved all the drives and the USB back to the original build and everything worked like normal. Just for testing purposes, I decided to install unRAID on a new USB and see if I could get any sort of access on the new build. I used ifconfig eth0 and saw that the server hadn't assigned itself any sort of IP. No luck trying ping a website either. Not sure if this is a configuration issue or something. I've attached a syslog from when I used a brand new USB. Any ideas? EDIT: Nvm, figured it out. Had my cable connected to the LAN for IPMI instead of the other one. Didn't notice the second port hidden under a flap of bendable metal. Noob of the year award for me ;P syslog.txt

So my oldest data drive receive an end to end error after my server froze during a parity check. It has had a raw value of 1 for three months now. I have not received any errors during parity checks so I'm a little confused as to how to interpret this error. Is it basically a ticking time bomb? I ask now because I am upgrading my parity to 4TB and was thinking about using the old parity to replace the supposedly damaged drive. Of course, if it is no big deal then I'll just reuse the parity as a data drive and net an additional 3TB.

So my SFF build that can only hold 5 drives is full and I'm moving my drives to an Antec 1200 with x4 iStar DE350SS. When I started my SFF build, 3TB was the most cost effective setup. However, I'm thinking about transitioning to a 4TB setup. The x5 3TB drives that I currently have are 7200RPM Seagates. So if I switch out the parity for 4TB WD Red (which I believe are 5400RPM), would I see a huge performance hit on my 3TB drives? Granted, I plan to switch them out for Reds once they show signs of failure. In general, is it better to a have a faster parity drive or doesn't really matter for data storage purposes? Edit: Also, I wanted to confirm if I would be fine PSU-wise. I have a spare 650B-BEFX (rebranded fully modular Seasonic X) which I picked on sale for $80. According to the PSU guide, this would be fine for 25 Greens or 16 7200RPM drives. So hypothetically if only the first 5 drives were 7200RPM, could I still use 15 Reds? In fact, would 5900RPM Seagates even be an option or would I be pushing it? If necessary I could pick up a different PSU, but would like to use this one if possible.

Basically, I was able to pick up a Rosewill RSV-L4411 pretty cheap second hand off a friend. All the the hot-swap bays seem to be working fine along with some nice bonuses (new fans, fan controller, etc.) My plan was to use this to upgrade from my current SFF build which uses a LIAN LI PC-Q25B, but after doing some measurements I don't actually have a place near the router to fit the case. I'm thinking of removing the bays and using them for a tower build instead. I think the case is using the same Rosewill cages you can buy here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132037 Any recommendations for a case that will use up all the cages? I like the Sharkoon cases that are commonly recommended, but I can't seem to find any place that sells them. The Zalman MS800 seems like a good choice. Anyone own this case or know whether it would need any modifications in order to fit the cages?

So if SATA ports and expansion slots are all to look out for, would this be fine? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157304 I use unRAID mostly for storage, nothing too fancy.

I've been using a mini-itx build (C60M1-I) for about two years now. I am close to filling up my fifth drive and would like to expand to something a little bigger. I recently picked up a RSV-L4411 and am trying to decide what motherboard to use. I have a spare G1610 laying around and I would like to ideally uses all 12 of the drives in the case. Any recommendations?

I'm already aware that I can hide a share as a whole, but is there anyway to hide specific files within a share? I'm running the latest RC and using Windows 8. To be more specific I'm trying to hide .nfo files and some important documents. Right click and marking them as hidden has no effect whatsoever.

Ok, I upgraded my system from 5.06 to the latest version. While that didn't resolve the speed issue, I was able to isolate the issue to a bad cable. I replaced the cable going from the router to the server and now am seeing speeds similar to the parity check (~80MB/s). The computers with powerline adapters are still about the same, but that's to be expected.

Everything is wired with CAT6 cables. Before I upgraded to a gigabit router I was dealing with 2MB/s, so 24MB/s was actually impressive for me. Is there some sort of settings that I should mess with on my router. Everything is running off the default settings and my network isn't setup that complex. I have no clue was exactly could be the source of this bottleneck. I'll try playing around with the wiring, but I doubt it's something that simple. There's a lot of cables near the router, perhaps some sort of interference? That aside, I guess it wouldn't hurt to upgrade my motherboard. Mostly because with the C60M1-I the CPU is integrated. Upgrading will at least give me some headroom for the future. Any recommendations for a decent board, nothing over the top, that I can pair up with a decent CPU for purely NAS purposes?
