NLS

Of course, somewhere in the middle of those 15 years, I had a HUGE break of a few years, as I experimented with different solutions for my home server, but to my defense UNRAID was way worse than what it became with version 6.XX. 😇 In any case, cheers to me. What's the next level?

You need to use the shared clipboard of VNC. I have removed Krusader, but it is on top right or mid-left edge of the screen. That said, after much love for Krusader (and I have no complains), I moved to doublecommander and double commander. The second one is web based, so copy-paste works directly. The first one is like Krusader, but I found that it has more options (see comparisons online) and the implementation as a container is better (uses another VNC that works much nicer) - plus I think takes less space!

This means an error flooded the log space. You should find out what it is.

It's a good time for kids to learn what a network "port" is. They will probably need it after all.

Yikes.

I haven't tested yet, seeing the issues, but during the weekend if I can help, tell me what to do. (I have a Win11 VM that is not critical to always run) Hardware is AMD based, X570 chipset, 32GB RAM (I give 12 to that VM), 10Gbit LAN. So if I can help to try scenarios and see what works or freezes, just guide me.

Is this docker still actively supported?

Waiting for real feedback on the issue before actually using it. QUESTION TO EVERYBODY: Does it work properly with a Linux based VM? I already use 9p mode, but I hear virtiofs is better.

I think they know and we are waiting feedback.

I already have it. No go.

I hope you raised a support ticket or something.

It is possible that after some time-out the system checks the secondary DNS, that works. I am not sure how Linux does switch to secondary DNS for resolution and if it is configurable. Since people hosting DNS in the server itself is not uncommon (I mean... it is the server), you should probably consider alternative solutions. Can you still make the checks and log issues, but not freeze the system? (make it a background task with some time out) Now, if those FQDN are NEEDED during boot (and is not just a check), you should also have them as static entries and/or temporarily use an extrernal DNS (like 8.8.8.8), that will also check connectivity to Internet. Maybe both (try defined DNS in background, but test with alternative DNS and on time-out use static entries). Of course it can also revert to the check later after server boots and anything auto-start is working. (so maybe raise a warning flag and then clear it?)

For #1. But is it? I mean BTRFS handles bit-rot and (about the tolerance to external issues) is CoW. For #2. That is GREAT news and seems I didn't notice in the latest release notes. I hope they are actively working on this. Thanks for you reply, I still need actual users that have tried BTRFS on array and even better, compression, to chime in. I am 100% sure we can find at least one.

I would like to (re)open this discussion, hopefully people that have already done it will chime in and tell us what is positive and negative in this move. So to organize this a bit: 1) Official docs, claim that BTRFS is not as robust as XFS yet. But they use BTRFS by default in cache (where the risk is considered smaller? Yet most people's VMs are there). Is this claim still valid in Oct 22? Or should UNRAID move to default BTRFS "soonish"? 2) Compression, while default in most "competing" solutions that use ZFS, is not even a (GUI) option in UNRAID. People that use it (I believe there are a few), feel it should be an option that can be set "officially"? (or even default) 3) Recovery options when moving to BTRFS or moving to BTRFS with compression. Are they available? Is it the same as with XFS? 4) Load on CPU? Actual saving benefits? Some people claim that for certain uses, writing with compression (or reading compressed) can even speed up things, as less data are read from the actual slow media (or writen to it) and the load moves to the CPU. In practice? 5) For people that have actually done it: Can someone give a streamlined stupid-proof process on how to achieve BTRFS with compression in UNRAID?

Same here.

Can I resurrect this thread and ask how this ended up? Did it work properly? Did the performance improve or became worse? Other gains or losses?

Well DNS is on a VM inside UNRAID, so it is not there while booting. The secondary one (in UNRAID settings) is my router, so that should work. So... if that is the issue probably it should skip to secondary DNS much faster OR use maybe a hardcoded "boot time" DNS or (third possible solution) revert to a (list of?) hard-coded name resolution entries (which is the best option probably). It was working faster somehow before a few weeks probably (not sure, I rarely reboot).

As I said, I removed that addin driver when I changed motherboard. Anyway, here are my diags... quasar-ultima-diagnostics-20221010-0101.zip

I am talking maybe even 5 minutes waiting. Even though I know that it takes time, it is so much, that I start thinking every time that something is wrong this time. And then it proceeds. Here is where the long pause takes place: Also, I am not sure why it looks for nct6775 (don't know if it is related to the long pause), as I don't have that plugin in UNRAID (it was in my previous motherboard, but I removed it and I have ITE driver now). But I don't know if it comes from that removed plugin either. So: - Any idea how to find what makes the huge pause? - Any idea how to remove this modprobe for nct6775? (or is it part of the boot process anyway?)

Tried autofan. Doesn't detect anything. My mobo is GB X570 UD. Temp plugin works fine. Any ideas?

Since you mentioned sleep... I was playing around with this plugin. Server sleeps fine. BUT HOW do I wake it up "transparently"? Where transparently means "on access" basically. When I try to access a share for example. I know how to send magic packet etc. but I want this to work transparently, not manually. Is there a way?

hah... we wrote the same thing the same time

what are you talking about?
