  1. I just figured it out - I had to "ENABLE" CSM in the bios menu. It was set to disabled. It now boots.
  2. I got a new MB and CPU - a celeron G5900 with an Asus Prime H410M-A motherboard. Original USB stick that used to work didn't. So I made a new one. Neither works. However, if I try to make a generic Ubuntu install USB iso it boots up just fine, so it has nothing to do with any sort of USB bootability issue.
  3. I think most people don't have Dell motherboards/machines. I'm using mine in an asus mini-atx and it works great.
  4. Yeah, they're working great for me. With my onboard gigabit NIC, I was getting far below expected throughput. But this Dell Broadcom has me at the expected throughputs.
  5. Weird. I guess nevermind. I just tried to read a large file and am now getting 70MBytes/sec. I guess something was causing a slow down, but now its fine.
  6. Ran iperf3, got this: [SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.10 GBytes 945 Mbits/sec sender [SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.10 GBytes 942 Mbits/sec receiver Looks like network is fine?
  7. Just upgraded to latest v6. Got a new Gbit lan card off ebay because my onboard LAN wasn't getting downgrading to 100mb. Thanks to whoever recommended me that card, sorry forget the username rn. Was very pleased to get around 30MBytes avg write speeds. But oddly, my read speed is about 1/2 that, at around 15MBytes/sec. I transferred the exact same 10GByte file, using Gb wired connection on my laptop to rule out any wireless interference that might occur during the transfers. The transfer speeds were pretty consistent, no wild swings in speeds, pretty flat graph throughout. I monitored CPU usage on the unraid server, pretty low, and certainly not higher during the reads. I only have 2 drives, 1 parity, 1 data. No cache. My client is a windows 10 laptop, using a gbit ethernet. Any ideas why my read is slower than write? Isn't it supposed to be much faster than writes?
  8. Awesome, just ordered one from ebay! Thanks for the recommendation.
  9. Recently upgraded my super old unraid v4.5 to v6, and everything is good...except My onboard 1000Mb LAN isn't (perhaps never) working at Gb speeds. I've tried brand new cat7 cables on my brand new Gb switch and its stuck at 100Mb transfer speeds and ethtool is showing it advertised as Gb but actual is 100Mb. Amazon shows a variety of cheap no-name Gb ethernet cards, but I'm kind of doubtful that these cards will work with unraid. Any recommendations for cheap Gb cards?
  10. Oh that's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion!
  11. I'm trying that with a Patriot 16GB stick and the Flash Creator is not working - getting stuck at "Syncing File System..."
  12. I found the original email with the key...but the key is at a link that is not longer working. I guess I have to contact limetech.
  13. So, I totally forgot about the key file and I had nuked my entire USB key by installing v6 using the USB install tool. Crap.
  14. How do I get it recognize my license? I'm on //tower webpage and it's asking me to purchase a license or get trial key? No option for upgrade? Hmm, so I'm reading the upgrade documentation and it says I need to run the "New Permissions" tool. However, I can't run that tool because I need to have the array started, which I can't do if I don't have a license (trial or official).
  15. So I purchased an unraid key years ago (4.5) and I'm trying to do a fresh install to v6. I figured I might as well use my old USB stick since its 2GB and worked in the past. But I can't get a trial key - it says the USB guid is registered to another user...which well, is me. Is there no way for me to re-use this USB stick? Searching on the forum says that it shouldn't happen unless its been blacklisted? But why in the world would it be blacklisted?
