  1. Hi All, Not sure on what board I need to get with the whole nvme taking up pci-e lanes etc, bit out of touch on that side of things. Wanting a board thats going to be able to have my 2 hba cards, a graphics card probably a 4060 to pass through to a virtual, and a couple nvme drives. What do i need to look for to make sure I don't loose end up running the graphics or drivers at a lower speed when everything is connected.

    Gaming VM

    Hi Guys, I'm basically in a situation where i really need to upgrade both my server and main rig, both are around 8 years old. I'm leaning towards just doing a couple i5 12th gen builds and keep them seperate from eachother, but at the same time would also like to just put that money towards say just 1 i9 build and having the gaming rig off it. Those that have a single setup using unraid also for their gaming rig, do you have any problems? would you do it again or just keep them seperate? Help me decide whats the best way
  4. Hi All, After some advise on what might be the best course of action to do what i'm thinking. My current rig comprises of 2 parities and 15 data disks ranging from 8-3tb drives. 39 in use and 28 free. I've got a new 12tb otw and going to make it a single parity, moving the 2 8's that are currently parity into the data pool, and pull 7 of the oldest drives from the pool, so will end up with 1 parity and 10 data disks, which should leave me with 20tb free by the end. Now the pulled drives while getting on, are still working and i'd like to turn them into a backup. I'll leave them sitting in the hot sway bays but pulled out an inch so not powered on, except for when i want to update the backup every few months or so. That's my current train of thought, how would be the best way to go about backing up to them, should i add them all as a 2nd pool or just individual disks? wondering if the fact they're only connected periodically having them as a pool wouldn't be the best way, and what would be the best method of syncing the changes. Please offer me any advise on how to best proceed.
  5. Hi, is this plugin still working with the current unraid? I have dry run checked and greyed out, so am unable to turn it off and use it correctly. Also getting that the site is insecure as certificate is invalid.
  6. Hi guys, after advise on if this will even work. My unraid setup is running on an old c2d rig, has served me well for several years, but starting to create some hevc content, and plex streaming it to my htpc isn't coping, cpu is maxing out. My htpc is an asus h87m-proand an i5-4570s. I'm thinking of migrating my htpc board into the server and setting up a virtual machine to run the htpc windows/kodi/plex. Now my main concern is the board only has 2 16x pci-e slots, i'm going to need both of them to put the sata cards into. My current unraid rig actually has an old pci gpu in it just so it will boot, something thats been in there for years, so honestly don't know if unraid still requires a gpu assigned to it like it used to. With only having the 1 gpu available to the system and wanting to pass it through to the virutal htpc. Will this even work? I could possilbly get a pci-e 1x gpu if i must. Will my gear work for me? to run unraid plus 1 virtual windows machine to connect to the tele.
  7. Is it possible to install google music addon? and if so can someone point me to directions on doing so please
  8. Not the users themselves, all i want is the root. But the files, will the deleted files recreate themselves at boot? or do i need to replace them with new ones?
  9. Thanks, will they recreate themselves, or should i replace with new ones?
  10. Hi, I've got a customer who I setup with unraid, about 6 months ago i was messing around with user accounts trying to get a laptop to see a share or something, can't recall exactly why, it didn't work out in the long run anyway was another issue, and I'm sure i deleted the extra user accounts i created, but don't remember. Anyway, have just discovered that we can't login to the web console. it's asking for authentication. And well I have no idea. I tried root, but yea. Is there away i can fix this via the flash?
  11. wow, completely missed that there was even a 6.3 and it's upto stable already. nice work. I looked through the change log, is there actually any new features? since 6.2.4 just looks like updates and fixes
  12. Hi, I built an array the other week for someone, but it doesn't automatically start the array upon boot, have to go into the console and click start manually Not sure why, log attached tower-syslog-20161031-2256.zip
  13. You're my hero, did as you said and the data looks good so far. Going to start up the rebuild. fingers crossed
