In the "guest bedroom", more often known as the room with all the junk in it.

I would definitely go low power, I am using a Sempron 140 as well, its a single core 2.7 GHz, with just 2 GB of ram and it's just dandy. Cheap too, I believe I got a combo deal on sale, mobo+cpu for 70 bucks.
As for allocation methods I just do it myself, put all the movies in a Movies folder, TV shows in a TV show folder (XBMC can use multiple sources so it doesn't matter if you have them separated), and stuff I'm storing in Backup. I can see why people may use it if they start out with a large amount of hard drives, but I buy my hard drives as I go since they are getting cheaper every day.

I don't, I'm too lazy.

Not worth it. The Antec 900 or 902 is only a bit more.

Well I have never used chrome, but to get around typing tower, login on your unraid box, and type
ifconfig eth0
This will return a bunch of information about the network. The second line after inet addr: is the ip address for your server. You can type in the address into your browser and that should work. Make sure it isn't being blocked by noscript or something similar.
Edit: Oh missed there was a second page.

I don't list disk 1 or 2 or anything, those can change, and all you need is the serial number. I put the size, model, and last 6 #s of the serial. I do have a different color sata cable on my parity drive as a reminder.

...passive HDMI passthrough which allows you to watch HDMI inputs with the amplifier off. You can also switch inputs with it off....
I had no idea it could do that! I'll have to check that out.
Definitely comes in handy for those late night sessions.
-
I'll need to pick one of these up eventually, only have 2 slots left on my motherboard for HD's. How do you cable these? Does it take a breakout cable of some sort? Or are there just 8 SATA ports on it that you use as normal?

I ran smartctl -T permissive -d ata -a /dev/sdc
and got

Think I'll try a different cable, the sata cable used has been sitting in a box for 8 months.
this worked, it now returns a proper smart report, running preclear again, I'll report back, probably just a loose cable
Edit: Since it's a new page, last post on last page is my first post with syslog and stuff.

So I have issues with a new EARS drive I'm adding to the server. No jumper, upgraded to 4.7 recently in order to take advantage of the new AF formatting, and I do have it enabled in settings.
Syslog is 540 MB in size, mostly the same error repeating over and over with this
Aug 1 05:11:04 Tower kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Unhandled error code Aug 1 05:11:04 Tower kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=0x04 driverbyte=0x00 Aug 1 05:11:04 Tower kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] CDB: cdb[0]=0x2a: 2a 00 e2 25 cf 68 00 04 00 00 Aug 1 05:11:04 Tower kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 3794128744
I took the end and beginning of the syslog and attached it.
The preread appeared to go fine, took 8 hours, then failed on the write portion I presume. Smart test returns this. (full text)

I double checked the cables and they look good, assuming that isnt the problem since the read portion appeared to go fine.
Oh, and the preclear script returned this during the test.

Edit: Think I fucked up that code somewhere, putty was being funny about c/p some of it.

After, the parity drive will slow down the transfer. Install all your data drives, transfer files, then put in your parity drive.
I always preclear anything going in the server, no downtime adding the drive, and plus, a used drive could have anything on it, deleting or formatting a drive doesn't actually erase the files. Also, year three is when failure rate goes up, so its nice to catch marginal hardware.
-
As someone else said, XBMC sets uses sorttitles to do what you want.
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Movie_Sets
I use Ember Media Manager for this (well its a bonus, I use it anyway to generate all my additional movie files, I prefer media streamers to have read only access just in case, so I generate everything for my stuff and copy it over in batches), it hasn't been updated in a while, but it still does it's job. It has a simple field to fill in the sort title and it will modify your nfo for you. You'll need to use this for a lot of movies, so you'll learn it fairly quickly.
-
Yeah it's a little expensive, but after running the free version for ~8 months (until it started filling up) and having 100% uptime with zero problems I was convinced.
-
What are you using to copy with? I would use Teracopy, it also has the ability to verify copies have the same hash as the original. I never have issues copying with it, even when the target disks are spun down (which could be the issue).
-
I had this problem, the motherboard in my server doesn't use HPA but the hard drive in question was an old storage drive I used on a windows pc, which had an HPA on it. I had always ignored it since it wasn't an issue but the upgrade to 4.7 gave me the same problem. I just used the hdparm command to remove it and check it is correct, let unraid rebuild the drive (which was showing up as blue), and am now running a parity check which should fix the space left over from the HPA. I would not do the trust parity step you were talking about. Let unraid do it's thing. Rebuild, then parity check.
-
I have an older 300 GB HDD that I download everything to. There I rename, delete extranous files, add nfo files and artwork via Ember Media Manager, make sure subs are included and working, then transfer to unraid server. I do use sabnzbd, but not couch or sickbeard.
-
Yes that is pretty much the point of an unraid server.
-
If you want to do a heartbeat probe right, you need to attach a monitoring device on your body to measure your BPM, and set a thermite charge over your hard drives so it will go off and melt through all the drives in succession. Then you also need to think about a anti-tamper mechanism but I'm sure Joe can help you out with that.
-
So got an RMA hard drive in for the one I posted about last time about a week or so ago. It went much faster, took about 30 hours with no errors except for the stuff at the end.

Not testing what and why not?
-
All right, thanks for the clarifications, havent seen a normal preclear yet so didn't really have a baseline for it. Hopefully the RMA will be up to snuff.
-
Not wierd, pending are sectors that are awaiting replacement, so they were replaced, they probably would show up in reallocated event count. I think, I'm still learning the ins and outs of this stuff myself.
-
Yes you can just close it out it will be fine, it will start over from the beginning though when you restart.
-
Indeed, just glad i decided to give it a try.
The preclear finally moved onto the writing to disk stage, and started putting out a different error, this error kept repeating in the syslog until it was over a GB in size, and it was only 7% done, so I had to close it out, didn't want it to crash the server.
Obviously cant post it all, but its basically just this repeating over and over added onto the previous syslog

It does, depends on the motherboard whether it will work or not.
