[Unassigned Devices - Managing Disk Drives and Remote Shares Outside of The Unraid Array]

Uh Oh, what have I done wrong here??? 

 

I thought I would use this plugin to be able to move items off an array disk to a new disk formatted as XFS, mounted with this plugin.  That all went fine and the data was copied across.

 

My plan was then to remove the old array disk and put in the new disk which was already formatted as XFS with my data on it and then do a new config and rebuild parity.

 

HOWEVER, the new disk is showing as not formatted.

 

Even when I try re-mounting it now with unassigned devices the mount button is greyed out and just the format button is available!

 

Where have I gone wrong here?  Can I save the data on the disk that I used in unassigned devices??

 

You can't format a disk with the plugin and then use it on the array, it will appear as unmountable.

You can, however, assign the target drive as a single slot cache device, select XFS as the file system, and format it that way. It can then be moved to another system, and / or mounted using UD. Or just copy the files across while it's in the cache slot.

 

What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish? Your post is not fully fleshed out as to why you couldn't just rebuild the new drive in the old drive's slot, which would populate the old drive's data on the new drive.

 

I was basically upgrading from a 1g to a 2g drive and trying to change filesystem from reiser to XFS at the same time.  Guess I was trying to be too clever.

 

So is there now no way to read the data on the disk formatted as XFS through the UD plugin?

[Win10 VM sometimes wont start]

I have a Win10 VM that was working fine prior to the 6.2 upgrade I did around a month ago.  Since the 6.2 upgrade the VM now fails to start around 50% of the time, hanging at the windows loading screen.

 

The VM shows as paused in the VM manager.

 

I have to force kill it and then restart, and it usually works fine the second time.

 

I can see the following in the log:

[[Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server]

Anyone having weird Plex issues recently with it keeping track of watched status etc.

 

Please was working fine for many months, but now is

 

• not marking shows as watched when I get to the end
  
• not remembering when I left off and allowing me to resume
  
• not adding items I'm watching to the "on deck" section
  

I'm assuming its something related to the latest update, although I hadn't even noticed it had updated!

 

Anyone got any ideas?

There are several reports about issues with watched status at the Plex forum. Some clients works fine but a few have this issue.

 

Thanks yeah, it seems PHT now doesn't work properly with PMS and isn't going to be fixed!

[Doom Performance]

Maybe this is an nvidia va amd thing then.  Pretty sure Battleborn is an nvidia "sponsored" game as it has physx in it.  Maybe Doom is optimised for AMD?

 

Might explain battleborn working fine on your nvidia card and doom on my AMD one...

 

Still, 15fps seems really low even taking that into account. 

[Doom Performance]

If you are playing Doom thru Steam, enable the fps counter... its in the steam settings, In-Game section - "In game fps counter".

 

That should give you a good indication of your framerate.  Anything above 30 should be playable, but of course higher is better.

[Doom Performance]

I've got doom running on a windows VM and it runs fine at around 60fps with most (if not all) settings on the max.

 

On the other hand, Battleborn runs really slowly on the same hardware...

[Sonarr docker with VPN?]

Hi binhex,

 

that would work... if Sonarr supported use of a proxy... which as far as I can tell it doesnt  :'(

[Sonarr docker with VPN?]

Hi all,

 

is there a docker for Sonarr which has a built in VPN similar to the delugeVPN docker?

 

The reason I need this is because my ISP has blocked quite few indexers that I'd like to use.    The actual downloading isn't an issue as usenet itself isn't blocked and I use delugeVPN for torrents so that's OK.

[(SOLVED) - Need help with usb controller passthrough]

How are you passing the XBOX controller though to the VM?

 

Mine will only work with the whole  USB port/hub passed through to the VM rather than the individual controller.

[Dockerization of some popular applications.]

I notice SABNZBd has been updated to v1 now - so has needo done this?

 

If so, can it be updated to v1.01?

[Sleep VM or always on? power consumption?]

I turn mine off as it seems to use around 50w power more when the VM is running.  I guessing this is because the graphics card is active whilst the VM is running.

[[SOLVED] Need help with Slow Transfer Speeds over network]

Try installing the dynamix stats plugin and watch the system stats page.  That will show you what speed the disk is writing at.

 

This is how I identified that it seems to write to RAM first, as you see RAM fill up before the disk writing seems to start.

[[SOLVED] Need help with Slow Transfer Speeds over network]

Are you transferring to a cached share?  i.e. writing to your cache drive?

 

I see the same effect as you when I'm writing directly to the array, as it seems I can transfer over the network faster than my array can write.  I think the initial spike you see is it writing to RAM, which then once full causes the "pause" and eventually a failure if you don't limit your connection speed.

 

I don't see this effect writing to my cache SSD though as that can sustain the write speed higher than my network.

 

To work around the issue when I was writing directly to the array I found a copy program that allowed me to throttle the speed I was transferring at.  Limiting to ~40MB/s seemed to allow the transfer to complete successfully.

[Enable Turbo Writes during mover run?]

[Passing shared drive to VM vs. mapped drive (W10)?]

While I don't see an option for this I was hoping there was a way to pass a share (i.e. w10_data) to a VM to remove the need to map the drive?  I think I have all my issues resolved except my tower/shares not showing up in network neighborhood and my mapped drives being disconnected on boot.  Not seen any other fixes so was hoping there was a way to pass the share from the hypervisor?

 

Yes the mapped drives will work when I view the drive, but because they are not usable at boot I do have issues with things that depend on them at startup.

 

Also if it is not possible is it maybe on the roadmap? 

Thanks in advance.

 

There is a workaround for the mapped drive issue... create a batch script that maps the drive at logon.  This at least means you don't need to double click on it for it to be "seen" by windows.

 

However I still find that it causes some programs to fail that require the drive to be present.  I assume because they load before they script mapping the drive runs.  Haven't figured a way around that one yet.

[[SOLVED] Corrupt File?]

solved by running the file check tools.

[[SOLVED] Corrupt File?]

Saw this in my unraid log at boot:

 

Jan 20 08:42:37 Tower shfs/user: shfs_readdir: fstatat: Sp.2015.1080p.Bluray.DTS-HD.7.1.mkv (13) Permission denied
Jan 20 08:42:37 Tower shfs/user: shfs_readdir: readdir_r: /mnt/disk5/Films/Sp (13) Permission denied

 

So then checked the directory and this shows:

 

root@Tower:/mnt/disk5/Films/Sp# ls -l
/bin/ls: cannot access Sp.2015.1080p.Bluray.DTS-HD.7.1.mkv: Permission denied
total 0
???? ? ? ? ?            ? Sp.2015.1080p.Bluray.DTS-HD.7.1.mkv

 

I'm unable to delete or do anything with this file.  Can anyone advise what has happened?  This file was placed on this disk by the mover.

[CPU use on an IDLE VM]

OK thanks Jonp.

 

Any comment on why the CPU use in the windows VM shows zero, but in top (or on the unraid dashboard) seems to hover at 30% use by the qemu-system-x86 process?  Does this happen on your rig?
