  1. grumpy, you’re a smart person and that is obvious, but you are most likely NOT the audience Limetech is exactly going for. No doubt they like having tech savvy users but we can at times makes things hard on others as well as ourselves. It seems obvious that Limetech is trying to go for an appliance approach, they likely DO NOT want there users doing apt-get update, etc, etc, etc. That introduces another layer into the whole "my **** has stopped working" emails that Limetech would get. At that point there is an even larger set of questions that has to be asked to try and figure out what the user installed/updated/changed/removed. I could honestly care less what OS unRAID is using under-the-hood, so long as what I need to use works.
  2. It is an iStar knockoff Monoprice in the US also sells these in black.
  3. NO docker without btrfs so they force us to use it But they did not force you to use a beta version OR to use a swap plugin, that they did not create themselves. I have been using unRAID since 2008 and have never run swap. I consider myself a proficient power user and have never needed swap. LimeTech can not curate all plugins, nor would I expect them to.
  4. That will entirely depend on what you plan on doing through docker.
  5. Make sure to use plenty of soap, I hear that stuff works wonders Kidding aside, glad it is fixed and working correctly again.
  6. My guess is a split level setting and/or min free space setting.
  7. If I had to guess, the download folder at some point made it onto an array disk. While it is set to cache only now since the download folder does exist on the array it likely is "parsing it" into the folders that need to be moved. Inspect all your disk shares and see if you have a folder called download hanging out on any of them.
  8. Yeah, I could probably do that to make some larger drives smaller but I am still short on disk.
  9. Hello All, I am looking for low capactiy, 250GB and under, SATA drives. With all the burn in and testing I do when building servers I have a tendency to preclear drives to death. Not looking to spend a whole lot per drive, and if anyone is willing to donate the drives I will cover all shipping and throw in a little extra for your time and effort. Probably looking to get a dozen drives in all. I just killed off half a dozen recently so am looking to replenish the supply. Drop me a PM or reply here if you have some drives for sale or are willing to donate! Thanks
  10. You also have to take into account customs fees. Most of my customers "forget" about that part until I mention it. I do not cover customs fees, as I leave that up to the customer but depending on where it is going it can be a little chunk of change. I have had a few customers ask about declaring the value of the shipment to be considerable less than what it is, that is never a good idea for the seller. We have no way of recouping the cost of the build when we do that and if something should happen during shipment. I have only every had one server arrive over seas dented and dinged, thankfully since it was covered fully the shipping company took care of covering all the replacement parts and shipping.
  11. As a person who builds and sells unRAID servers that shipping price is not to bad really. A fully insured server shipped across the pond can run you near $800. I am currently building 2 that are going to Thailand and shipping is not cheap for sure. I have used Shipito as a intermediate stop. Basically it allows us, the builder to ship and insure for a local US shipment, and then from there the buyer works with Shipito to get it to it's final destination. This usually ends up working out a bit cheaper then a direct shipment across the pond. The only way you get good prices for shipping over seas is if you are shipping pretty large volumes and I know I don't qualify for that sort of treatment.
  12. It should run them fine. It will not be the quickest thing ever invented but the worst that can happen is that you try it out and you don't like the outcome. Just disable the apps on unRAID, or add more RAM and faster processor.
  13. I do this same thing. I can switch to bare metal unRAID if/when I need to without changing the boot order by just pulling the ESXi thumb drive. I am still running ESXi 4.1 precisely becuase it is stable for me. No use in rocking the boat on a system that is working.
  14. You will likely not see much of a difference. I think the Red as a longer warranty but don't quote me on that. I will say: if you can afford to get a 4TB drive go with one of those instead of a 3TB.
  15. We are not even into RC release... it will be a little bit yet.
  16. Main server (5.0rc16) plugins/tools: unMenu open vm tools shellinabox sabnzb sickbeard openssh/openssl mysql transmission Crashplan Server (5.0) plugin/tools: unMenu shellinabox crashplan
  17. First: What version of unRAID are your running? Why on gods green earth are you doing this? That is essentially like running the newperms script daily... which is not needed. nifty but only useful if you want everything in folders. I am going to guess it has something to do with the way you scrap media. I rarely have dupes on my machine... and I would not put that on the flash drive. Save it to an array disk so as not to wear out the flash drive any faster than needed.
  18. 1. ESXi server is in a Norco 4220 with the top 4 slots used in RAID5 datastore. The remaining 16 are used in unRAID 2. Crashplan server is running the free version of unRAID as I only need parity and 1 data disk 3. Dev/Test/preclear server has parity + 4 data + cache mounted inside. There are 6 trayless hotswap bays for preclear duty.
  19. HDD cache used as app storage and to increase writes to the array
  20. 1. An ESXi build that has 12GB total in the box, 4GB of it to the unRAID VM 2. Crashplan backup server (HP N40L) with 4GB 3. Dev/Test/preclear server also has 4GB in it I seem to have a thing for 4
  21. Yes, kind of you will need to change the file names, MD5 sum and the version check at the end of the .conf file. Please forgive my ignorance but what exactly would I need to do to update my SAB? in the .conf file there are 3 lines: The first PACKAGE_URL, PACKAGE_FILE, and PACKAGE_MD5 will need changed. Also, the PACKAGE_VERSION_STRING will need updated to reflect what version of sab is expected to be running.
  22. Won't even post. No video. Debug code 55. Consensus seems to be to get ECC. OK, missed that part or skimmed over it. Annoying not even being able to get into the BIOS. Perhaps try clearing the CMOS on the board just to make sure nothing funky is stuck in there.
  23. Try playing with the timings and voltages of the RAM in the BIOS. It should just work... but yeah we know how that goes. The first thing I would try and do is maybe find another board/RAM/CPU to test with. I would start with new RAM modules.
