I use AI Reader on Android and it allows specifying a password when adding an OPDS library as I did for COPS: http://unraid:6060/feed.php. I haven't tried using a password with COPS because my security is via openvpn or ssh tunnels but the underlying tech appears to support it.

Enable ssh tunneling on your unraid box open sshd server. Recent versions all come with sshd baked in. Then forward a firewall port to your unraid server's ssh port which is 22 by default. Then when you ssh into your unraid box from anywhere in the world you use ssh port forward tunnels to access any web interface or other ports like COPS. Might require a bit of googling but it works well and is very secure as ssh is highly encrypted.

lol! So doing: rsync -av /mnt/disk7 /mnt/disk5 Created /mnt/disk5/disk7. So now, from /mnt/disk5, I am doing: rsync -a disk7 ./ Hopefully that will put everything from the original disk7 folders into the equivalent disk5 ones.

Replacing 3 old 1TB drives with a single 4TB. Started by replacing one of the 1TB's with the 4TB and letting Unraid rebuild the data. That worked fine. Next I thought all I had to do was: rsync -av /mnt/disk<old1TB> /mnt/disk<new4TB> That ran for a while with lots of output but I can see some folders were not sync'd onto the new 4TB. Is there a gotcha when doing this between /mnt/disk<n>'s and having user shares? I did a mv of a small missed directory (between disk mounts again, not user shares) and it worked fine. Was hoping to do use the safer rsync method though. No errors in log so I must be missing something fundamental. Any ideas? I followed the "safer method" here: https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Replacing_Multiple_Data_Drives_with_a_Single_Larger_Drive Thanks

Just curious, is there a tmux plugin available?

Nice!

People just need to be aware that using none Sine Wave UPS's "can" damage some active PFC PSU's. I wasn't until I started having issues, posted and read sgibbers17 reply and then did more research. Luck is a factor so YMMV. In my case it was a Corsair TX650 and the APC1500. A quick Google shows folks with Corsairs not working with non-Sine Wave UPS's. For example this case which mirrors my experience. As I've learn't, if you don't want to potentially damage your PSU (mine used to work fine with the UPS) and rely on luck, get a pure sine wave UPS.

Thanks all. Looks like I'll pick up one of those cyberpower 1000 pure sine wave UPS's ($150 up here in the GWN) and move the 2 year old APC UPS to the wife's office with our wifi, printer and her laptop. Does apcupsd work with these Cyberpower unit's and if not what's the recommended shutdown technique?

Damn, It looks like the Corsair TX650 will eventually be damaged by running on these popular UPS's. My UPS hasn't even powered the Corsair for long without mains power, but now as soon as the UPS switches to battery, my unraid machine locks up. Things used to be fine, but now the shortest glitch takes out my (14 green drive) unraid machine. Are there any recommended PSU's that work well with a "Stepped approximation to a sinewave" UPS or do I need to right off the almost 2 year old UPS and get a better one?

Here's the boot log with some interesting stuff in it following the last failure. Of particular interest: syslog-2014-06-17.zip

Another lockup failure requiring hard reboot: http://pastebin.com/trXeq9mg Anyone?

Running the latest on both. .21 on the MVSAS card with INT13 off.

Hi, I've recently started having lots of issues with my unraid box locking up. So I setup a telnet tailing syslog to see what is happening and it appears to be MVSAS related kernel panics: http://pastebin.com/mQZiBeuR Here's my syslog after re-booting following the last lockup: http://pastebin.com/d8AbS7g2 I've run a couple of memtests with no issues and reseated all the drive power/SATA cables. Any ideas? Thanks!

Justinkas, Hopefully if Tom decides he has too much going on in his life to keep Unraid going, he`ll open source the driver and I`m sure the community will take it and run with it. However its obvious it is still a popular product despite the George R R Martin release schedule and associated complaints , so I can`t see him walking away from easy 4.7+ $. People upset with the schedule should shit or get off the pot and find another solution. That`s the only way things _may_ change. If enough people did that, the forums would slowly die, and then Tom would see his business model wasn`t working. Until that happens, which I doubt, business as usual.

10 passes and no RAM errors. :'( That would have been too easy...

No I haven't tried memtest86. Will try it when this current disk rebuild attempt passes or fails.

Second parity rebuild was successful. Immediately replaced disk6 with my second 3TB drive and started a rebuild . Came home to find this kernel panic. Sounds like something to do with my SATA card. Is rc12a not compatible with the AOC-SASLP-MV8? Will try rebuilding again. Thanks

Thanks all. I left it off all day as I read responses, then booted it up when I got home from work which kicked off another parity rebuild. Log following the parity rebuild start is here: http://pastebin.ca/2376729 It looks like Murphy has struck and disk6 (WDC WD20EADS-00R6B0) is failing (8 weeks out of warranty). I tripled checked the cables on all of the drives and they are good. A Smart check shows this on disk6/sdb: 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 44 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0030 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 14 So disk 6 definitely appears to be the issue. My big question is whether I should bother trying to get parity rebuilt with it? My crappy alternative is to buy another 2TB drive ( ), swap disk 6 out, and then upgrade to the 3TB drives I have. Ideally parity would rebuild on my new 3TB drive on one attempt and then I could just swap the 2TB disk6 with another already precleared 3TB drive. Or can the errors on drive 6 and the missing parity drive cause a "bad" rebuild? It's still chugging along despite the errors so I'm thinking it could finish if the planets align (trying to be a glass is half full guy). Also the fact that it somehow finished a parity check yesterday on 4.7, tells me it can occasionally cross the finish line. Thoughts?

Any advice if that is the case guido?

Day before I upgraded to 5rc12 I successfully ran a parity check. I also had 2 precleared 3TB drives ready to go (3cycles), so I think the new drives _should_ be ok. Will reboot and try again when I get home. The screenie is the only forensic evidence I have unless rc12 keeps old syslogs knocking around after a reboot.

Fortunately the monitor showed me this (attached jpg) even though the keyboard was unresponsive.

Sorry Joe. The upgrade from 4.7 to 5rc12a went smoothly. Everything was running smoothly for a few hours. I then attempted to upgrade my parity drive from 2TB to 3TB, the main reason to switch to 5x. During this operation the machine hung. After I reboot, I assume a parity rebuild will start again, is that OK or do I need to be doing something special. Thanks.

Upgrade went smoothly, then I started a parity rebuild with a 3TB drive before I went to bed. When I woke up the machine was hung up. Can I just reboot and try again or will that munge something up?

Disagree strongly. More people using it gives more information on success or failure. More information spread across more hardware platforms and with different usage patterns will generate more input for Tom which may help in resolving outstanding issues. Equally, more successes will give greater confidence in the stability of the software. There will be some who see a risk in using a software not named as final. But that will always be true and that is their choice to make. On the other hand, most of those that have used version 5 release candidates know just how stable the software is - Very. Is it just me or are you guys disagreeing that you believe the same thing? Helmonder says install if you haven't just because it doesn't say final and I *think* that's what you say also S80_UK?

I do not know what this cache_dirs thing is? Can someone explain this to me? Are you saying without this plugin installed, the core functionality of unraid to spin down and up drives does not work? That is how it reads and I find that hard to believe. Here you go.
