Im trying to install sab and it just crashes my unraid server. My ip connection remains but the gui totally dies and I have to do a hard reboot of the server to get back in. When I boot back into safe mode I am able to delete the plg file and then I am able to restart my server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I seem to remember this is because one of the packages that needs to install as part of the plg fails. Have a look at your syslog or the screen as it is installing all of the packages within the plg and see if any fail to install. I think I had to change some of the urls in the plg to avoid this, but struggling to remember which.

Do you have a graphics card installed (I don't see one in your sig)? If so removing that might save 30w or so if you can run headless.
With all of my drives powered down my setup is pulling 80w which is more than I was hoping for when I built the server. However I hadn't considered the impact of a graphics card and therefore didn't specifically look for a mobo that allowed me to run without one, which is annoying! I'm assuming that it is the graphics card pulling the extra juice over my cpu which is 34w I believe, but I might be wrong.
I turn my server off at night using the powerdown script available on this site (with a cron job scheduled in my go script) and use the bios to auto wake it the next morning.
I've considered changing my mobo for one I can run headless, but if you do the maths the investment works out to be a hell of a lot of electricity (years) to use before even breaking even. I don't think you've stated your power consumptions, but I'd imagine unless you are using a huge amount this would be the same for you.
I don't use a graphics card, the server runs completely headles. How do I use a cron job in the go script to powerdown? Like to give that a try. I guess the BIOS can only auto wake if it supports S3?
I have the following line in my go script which sets up the powerdown:
echo "powerdown" | at 22:00
You will need to "install" the powerdown script first, which I found somewhere on this site - I think written by Joe L.
In terms of waking up (assuming your bios doesn't support it) - maybe if you have a smartphone there are likely apps that you could use to wake the server (assuming your phone is in the house when it sends the wake on lan). I use FING on Android to wake the server manually, but I'm unsure if that can be scheduled.

I think you'd be surprised. I doubt your graphics card is the "power hog." The AsRock Extreme series motherboards draw a LOT of power (the newest version draws about 55w just for the motherboard). I suspect your motherboard is drawing 30+ watts just by itself. Assuming you used a low-end video card, it shouldn't draw more than 5-10 watts.
Yeah you could be right, I can't remove the graphics card to confirm annoyingly. I don't even know what model card it is, its just one I had lying around. Motherboard power use was another thing I didn't consider - I'd assumed minimal use, but maybe not.
Live and learn i guess - I'll know better for next time

Can anyone advise how to add a commandline parameter to Sickbeard when it starts up using this plugin ("--forceupdate")?
There's an option in the plugin config for this "Force Update on Start"
So you should just need to toggle to yes, and apply the changes.
Ahh, that's what that setting does! Thank you

I need to force sickbeard to do a mass update at startup as it normally does this at 3am when my server is not switched on. Annoyingly there is no way of scheduling this check other than to force it at startup (from what I've read).

I had this problem when I tried to get sleep to work with my system too.
One question I have for the people suggesting its hardware related... why does it work flawlessly with windows on the same hardware?
-
I found this: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?t=5738
which suggests that your script folder may not exist or you haven't set it yet in the folders screen?
-
there is a column called script - see the screenshot:

anyone notice that the reboot and powerdown buttons are greyed out when you choose to turn off confirmations in simplefeatures settings?

I've seen the same thing.
Usually it happens the first visit to the unraid UI and a refresh makes it display properly. I've seen it happen on multiple devices/browsers, so I don't think it is device specific.

To answer your questions:
In unRaid you can have "user shares" which appear to you as one folder even though the data could be stored across multiple drives. So yes you can have a Media user share which spans as many drives as you like and to an end user it will look like one huge folder.
If one drive fails, then unRaid 'simulates' the data on that drive until you replace and rebuild it, so the files WILL be accessible whilst the rebuild is in progress. This is only for one drive though... lose two and you are in trouble!
If the parity drive fails, then all of your data drives are still fine. You just replace your parity drive and rebuild it.
For the time that you do not have a parity drive then your data drives are unprotected. You would be unlucky to lose a data drive during that period, but is is possible of course. All down to how fast you can replace the parity drive after failure.

Does it keep a history of this information?
If not, can I add it as a feature request

I was wondering exactly the same thing...
Of course we could use math to work out the average, but I've seen other people pasting in the line above. Where does that line come from?

Hi all,
was copying files to my server today when I got a roughly 1 min hang or pause in the middle of the copy process. When checking the syslog it showed these errors:
Jul 25 13:22:54 Tower kernel: mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x31126000): Originator={PL}, Code={Abort}, SubCode(0x6000) cb_idx mptbase_reply Jul 25 13:22:57 Tower kernel: mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x31126000): Originator={PL}, Code={Abort}, SubCode(0x6000) cb_idx mptbase_reply Jul 25 13:22:58 Tower kernel: mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x31126000): Originator={PL}, Code={Abort}, SubCode(0x6000) cb_idx mptscsih_io_done (Drive related) Jul 25 13:22:58 Tower last message repeated 63 times Jul 25 13:22:58 Tower kernel: mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x31170000): Originator={PL}, Code={IO Device Missing Delay Retry}, SubCode(0x0000) cb_idx mptscsih_io_done (Drive related) Jul 25 13:23:01 Tower last message repeated 255 times Jul 25 13:23:01 Tower kernel: Device returned, unsetting inDMDJust to confirm this is RC5.
Am unsure if these errors relate to the temporary hang - but they are at the same time.
-
actually i managed to grab a syslog after a wake, which shows a lot of errors (attached)
Am guessing these aren't helping!
Edit: and now after a reboot I have a drive red balled...
-
It doesn't help, but I have exactly the same problem.
From what I gather the lack of video on the screen is common, even in a windows install - but the fact the server is offline is more of a problem.
I'd like to be at least able to see the syslog to try to identify what has happened, but with no console thats impossible.

just tried flashing my Br10i and got the following output:
Adapter Selected is a LSI SAS 1068E(B3): Executing Operation: Flash Firmware Image Checksum Passed: 00000000 Verifying NVDATA Compatibility. . .

Can anyone advise what I should do next? Does this leave my card in a useable scenario, with firmware flashed but bios not?

Cache_dirs is a very valuable extension. Anyone who don't want needless disk spin ups due to directory reading should use this.
In fact there is already an add-on as part of SimpleFeatures which gives a graphical interface to the cache_dirs settings.
You may want to continue your development for anyone running the stock interface though
Below a screenshot.
I decided to give this version a go in SimpleFeatures, but the -e command is not working. I think it is because the code is not wrapping "" around the folder names in the -e command?

Has anyone who is using the sleep plugin had problems with the server waking up correctly the 2nd or 3rd time?
I thought this was just a realtek issue, but even with my intel nic, the server is still doing this.
The server is online, but not on the network - and i suspect that the server isnt working as the drives don't appear to be spun down after a long time of waiting.
Check your sys log from telnet... those symptoms sound slightly like the BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED error.
Sadly the server isn't on the network so I cant telnet in and also there is no video posted so can't use the console either.
How do you connect to your server?
Hi Joe, not sure what you mean?
The server boots and works fine, then I put to sleep using the simple features plugin. It wakes OK and continues to work until after the 2nd or 3rd sleep when at that point the server is not on the network and the console is blank.
I think the console being blank is a common problem with video not being reposted after a sleep. I can live with that as I rarely use the console anyway.
However because the server is not on the network I can't telnet in to see a syslog.
I've also tried adding the following commands into the "custom commands after wake-up" section, but they don't seem to get executed (even when the server wakes correctly):
cp /var/log/syslog /boot/syslog-post-sleep.txt
chmod a-x /boot/syslog-post-sleep.txt
Is there another way of somehow copying the syslog to the flash after the server wakes so i can try to catch what is happening?

This is exactly what I have just done. My new mobo had a realtek gigabit onboard network adapter and I've been trying to get wol to work properly for the last few days.
So I gave in and bought an intel pcie card and guess what - everything works exactly as you would expect including sleep!
-
I've just bought an asrock p67 extreme which also has 10 sata ports, some using the Marvell SE9120 chipset.
Unraid seems to see them fine in my setup and everything has been working fine for a couple of days now
Edited to add I am using all 10 slots.
VirtualBox Plugin for unRAID v5 and v6
in Plugin Support

this is probably a daft question...
but...
is it possible to attach a physical monitor to my unraid server and see the virtualbox output for a win7 vm? Actually i want to connect my tc via the hdmi output on my graphics card to enable me to watch streamed tv on the win7 vm...
