set old powerdown to not reinstall on reboot & installed new 2.11 - looked like it found the old one and "upgraded" based on the install log.

should I stop the current running parity check? Need to restart to uninstall unmenu version ps. what I meant was it shows up twice in the unmenu package manager

BTW, I am trying to setup User Shares but it requires that the array be stopped to turn it on and I can't get the array stopped because it hangs.

I thought the first time it was because I did not shut down Plex docker before trying to stop the array but today I did stop Plex and still got the "Retrying... retrying..." when stopping array which never is able to complete. Power button shutdown from there results in 8 hour parity check. Really difficult to troubleshoot other issues if there is an 8 hour wait between steps. os: 6 b10a drive config: 1 cache, 1 parity, 13 data dockers: Plex add-ons via unMenu: smtp mail, monthly parity, daily status, & Powerdown (installed just now, have not tested - btw, Powerdown shows twice in Pkg manager) ps: problem predated add-on installs so I don't think they are involved.

thanks. all sorted and back in business

In short, yes. What you can do is mount an NFS or SMB share to your server and then pass that mount point through to the container as a volume mapping. What kind of network protocol did you want to use for this? I am using SMB for everything so unless there is a pressing reason to do it differently? From my reading of related posts, I will need to unmount them (there are 5 "remote" shares I need to add) before I try and stop the array? I ran into that yesterday when I didn't stop Plex before attempting to stop it. Resulted in having to shut down using power switch (which resulted in 8 hr parity check). Is it possible to automate this mount/unmount process?

Where can I find 64-bit replacements for my v5.05 plug-ins? Daily status email, monthly parity check, etc.

Is there a way to add network locations to the Plex docker? If so, how? random thoughts, since it like to use shares, can a network share be mapped as a local share and then added? If so, how?

Not working using //tower2/disk2 or //192.168.1.5/disk2

Found it, defined data as /mnt/disk1 and Plex is happily indexing that drive now. So my thought is that I need to define each disk as well as the other tower disks? How do I define a network location for //tower2/disk2? It works fine for all the local disks, just need to pull the rest in

where do I change this?

Why are you using /mnt/disk1,etc. instead of setting up a TV or Movie share and using /mnt/user/TV or /mnt/user/Movies ? I don't have any shares defined. I just write to each disk and access it via UNC path. ps. no users defined either. Did you set your mnt path in the docker command or template....you need to assign the path to something sort of like how you map the config to a certain place on the cache....for example Mnt/disk1: storage In Plex you wouldn't navigate to the disks...you would look for "storage" which will point to disk1...does that make sense...sorry trying to brief I am on my phone on the train... I have not defined any "storage" anywhere in the template. Will look for that. Where I am adding the disk paths is via web GUI "add folders" in the Movie libraries section.

Trying to get Plex Media Server docker to see my movies. The web GUI works fine (can also see my windoze plex server). I added UNC paths pointing to my movie folders and it scans for a half second and stops. No titles get added. I had similar issue when I tried to install on 5.05 and ended up going to Windows install that works great. Problem is the laptop can't handle transcoding very well so I wanted the unRaid 6-core CPU to handle it. Just can't get it to see the movies. Upgraded to v6 10a and installed a cache disk to run dockers. Install went without a hitch and Plex is running on Tower. I have tried local paths (e.g. /mnt/disk1 etc), UNC paths pointing to both local & other uR server (e.g., //tower/disk1 or //tower2/disk2, etc). In the 5.05 attempt I ran the perms script multiple times (no effect). Any ideas? Ps. the windows install sees all the movies and sets them up as expected.

Upgraded the server to 6.0-beta10a and writes to the affected disks are at full speed again. Parity check was faster as well (by nearly factor of x2).

left the monitor on (while typing other support thread about parity check) and just now noticed this error sitting on the screen (not logged in). xc: error: Could not obtain handle on priviledged command interface (2 = no such file or directory): Internal error libxl: error: libxl.c:92:libxl_alloc: cannot openb libxc handle: No such file or directory cannot init xl context syslog.txt.txt

Is this normal? It just finished one (ran on 1st of every month in v5.x) with no errors earlier. I did the upgrade to see if it would fix my slow write issue (some but not all disks).

@jeff.lebowski $15 to ship to your zip.

no longer for sale

refurbished selling on eBay for $80. You can have one for half that. PayPal accepted. Shipping at your cost from zip code 98208. This is a pull from a functioning unRaid server. I swapped in another motherboard in trying to troubleshoot an issue (no effect so this mobo is fine). I just decided to keep the other board in there. Its about 3 years old. Includes board, box, manual, windows driver disc, case back plate. No cables. I am also including 4GB (2 x 2GB) Kingston DDR2 RAM. Specs on Asus site: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A785M/

New motherboard installed without issue. unRaid started right up like nothing had changed. BUT I still have the speed issue on the same drives. Next step is to try replacing the drive(s).

It just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. Last 2 disks (disk 12 & 13) attached to SAS card I am getting full speed writes to the disks over the network. Hmmm... replacement mobo here tomorrow

Just pulled the trigger on a MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) to replace the possibly defective Asus M4A785-M. After tax, reward points and a gift card balance, $24 shipped from Amazon to arrive Tuesday. Even if it doesn't fix it, it will add two SATA ports to the config

sent it to [email protected] The problem still persists. I am still running the conversions off the slow drives but its taking twice as long. Let me know what I can provide you for troubleshooting. My last ditch option will be to replace the motherboard. Trying to avoid that expense. ps. email was sent Tuesday 16th
