  1. The models seem to be slightly different here in the UK.  I have a friend moving to the states and he looked without success for this board in the US online stores for his own build.

     

    This is the one I have...

    http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-p7h55-m-usb3-intel-h55-s-1156-pci-e-20-%28x16%29-ddr3-2200%28oc%29-sata-6gb-s-usb-30-matx

     

    You are right, this does not have an internal USB header (I didn't see many boards that did).  My system is sitting in a cupboard so I'm not bothered about the USB thumb sticking out of the top of the case.  You could get an internal header adapter for a few dollars if this was an issue for you.

  2. Yep, everything seems to be working well.

     

    I have one issue with permissions of files created by add-on applications but that won't be related to the hardware.

     

    I haven't tried any of the WOL features, my server is on all the time.  If I get some time at the weekend I'll have a dabble with it.

  3. Can anyone confirm the owner of the files that SABnzbd creates on their 5.0b2 array please?

     

    I asked this a couple of pages back but it got lost in another conversation.  Any files I download are owned by "root" and not "nobody" and this creates issues with Samba shares.

     

    There were a couple of solutions posted in the beta2 thread but I haven't got any of them working and I'd love to know if this problem affects everyone or if there is a root cause I should be looking for.

     

    I don't have a cache drive so I was wondering if it was somehow due to me having the app running from a user share on the array.

  4. EDIT: Just seen your thread on the transmission package and I've put this in the wrong place...

     

    Thanks for adding the transmission package.  

     

    The settings page in unMENU does not include a parameter for a watch folder.

     

    I installed the autotrans Firefox extension so I can add torrents from my browser but to use it with something like sickbeard you seem to need a watch folder.  

     

    If I add the watch folder parameter to your auto install script will it be persistant prostuff1?

  5. I have been playing around with this, I still haven't come up with a definitive solution though.  I am also confused as to why more people are not seeing this issue.

     

    At the minute if Sabnzbd has to create a new folder (a new season folder for example) I run the newperms script against it to regain access.

     

    I have been looking at running the sabnzbd.exe as the user "nobody" and found this snipet on the net...

    "... may add your application to /etc/sudoers with proper settings and you'll be able to run it as with sudo -u nobody. This will work for both scripts and binary executables.

     

    This could also work for scripts if you'll create a tiny helper executable which simply does exec("/home/you/bin/your-application"). This executable can be made suid-nobody (see above) and you may freely modify your-application."

     

    A combination of these two methods might be the best?  Still not 100% sure how I can invoke it from the go script though.

  6. As an update... I went ahead with my build.

     

    Asus P7H55-M/USB3

    i3 540 (it was £4 more than the 530)

    4GB Corsair XMS3, DDR3 PC3-10666

    450W Corsair 450VXUK

    Coolermaster CM 690 II Lite

    2TB Western Digital WD20EARS (parity)

     

    with 2 x 1.5TB samsung drives I already had for data.

     

    It's all working really well.  I haven't used either of the 2 SATA III ports but I'll give one of them ago when I add a cache drive.

     

    Around Christmas time I'll be adding the cache drive, another 2TB drive and upgrading to the pro version of unraid (on the free edition at the moment).

  7. Hi all,

     

    I'm going to be putting together a build soon and wondered if anyone has used this board...

     

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Asus-P7H55-M-USB3-Intel-H55-S-1156-PCI-E-20-%28x16%29-DDR3-2200%28OC%29-SATA-6Gb-s-USB-30-mATX

     

    I was looking at either the 530 or 540 i3 to go with it.

     

    This thread below some successful experience with the P7H55-M but the version of the board above has 8 SATA ports (2x SATAIII).
