    Hello, 

     

    You have altered your go file @ \\UNRAID\flash\config\go 
    which I am assuming looks like this?

     

    #!/bin/bash
    # Start the Management Utility
    /usr/local/sbin/emhttp &
    echo ; >/usr/local/sbin/mover
    mkdir /tmp/PlexRamScratch
    chmod -R 777 /tmp/PlexRamScratch
    mount -t tmpfs -o size=16g tmpfs /tmp/PlexRamScratch


    From there you add the path variable within the plex docker?

     

    /tmp/PlexRamScratch

    Then within the PLEX GUI set the same transcode DIR?

    Would this requirement still be needed in EXTRA PERAMETERS?

     

    EXTRA PARAMETERS: 

    --runtime=nvidia --device=/dev/dri --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/transcode,tmpfs-size=17179869184 --no-healthcheck

     

    Use Nvidia GPU 

    -runtime=nvidia

     

    Use CPU for Trancodes 

    --device=/dev/dri


    Use 16GB RAM for Transcode 

    --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/transcode,tmpfs-size=17179869184 --no-healthcheck

     

     

    Look forward to the feedback for clarity 

     

    My go file PLEX lines:

     

    #Limit PLEX Transcode RAM Drive Size
    mkdir /tmp/PlexRamScratch
    chmod -R 777 /tmp/PlexRamScratch
    mount -t tmpfs -o size=32g tmpfs /tmp/PlexRamScratch

    I do not have any extra parameters.  I am however using the Intel IGPU not Nvidia.

     

    Good luck!

    I was in the same boat and thought I'd finally upgrade! Unfortunately my 13th gen Intel iGPU was not properly detected and modprobe i915 froze every time (same with powertop --auto-tune when it tries to change power managment for the iGPU), whole system hangs on reboots and stuff like that... downgraded to 6.11.5 again and everything works flawlessly still. Idk if that is an issue with my specific configuration but I guess I'll wait for 6.13......

     

    Since diagnostics are requested on downgrade from you guys I guess I'll add them here.

    A lot has changed with this between many releases.  I'd remove any plugins and code relating to the iGPU and start from scratch.

     

    Maybe someone will have a better answer.

    I doubt your issue has anything with the NCT6775 driver.

     

    If you have a multiple PWM controllers, you need to test each own to find out which one is the main PWM controller. Although most of the times its the one ending in pwm1.

     

    Unless you connect the NORCO s500 fans to the motherboard PWM/Fan headers, you won't get able to get any readouts from them. From what I read the NORCO s500 fan is internal in the unit and you only connect power and sata to the units, so unless you open it and connect the cable to the motherboard it's not going to be readout in Unraid. That means that it's the internal temp sensor in the NORCO s500 which controls the fan.

     

    As for why the CPU fan isn't found, it's most likely the ict8718 controllers, if not, you'd need to use the sensors-detect to find which driver is missing.

     

    However, i'll be honest the GA-G33-DS3R is quite old and you might not be able to find a lot of information out there.

     

     

    Do the SS-500's have a temp sensor and fan control?  I have four SS-500's that are very old, but it seemed to me when I installed them so long ago that their fans always spun at 100%.  I ran the fans to the motherboard to gain some control.  

     

    That said, it seems gnollo's fans ran faster when he did the same and his drives ran cooler.

     

    Right now I am stuck having all four fans on one controller channel.  So one hard drive hot means all for POD fans spin up faster.  It's loud and annoying.

     

    I may have to try connecting the fans back to each SS-500 and see what happens if I don't find an answer.

  4. Yeah, there is a fan in each POD.  I forget if it's 80mm or 92mm (think it's 80mm, but I ordered four Noctua of both sizes for two different projects at the same time).  I ran the fan power cord outside the Norco PODs when I upgraded the fans.  Right now all four fans are connected to one fan header on my MB.  So, the fans in all for PODS run at higher speed even if just one drive is hot.

     

    A lot better than full speed 24/7 like the original wiring, but far from optimal.  And as I said, IPMI tools (and possibly MB) only allows for two fan speed controls; CPU and other.  Therefore, my chassis fan speeds are all based on the tempo of the hottest hard drive as well.  I'd really like to at least get the chassis and POD fans separated, but it would be so nice if each POD had its own control and all the chassis fans were on another.

    Hmmm

    Looks like just what I am looking for also. If you pull the trigger, please make sure to leave your thoughts once you have it in hand.

     

    Sorry, but than again, switching to 3x4 enclosures instead of 3x5 would also have benefits.  When I switched to 3x5 the temperature of all my discs went up 10C degrees.  So the full tower would be really good in that regard as well... maybe I should buy one!

  6. The other thing is that I have 20x spinners now.  I'm hoping that maybe on my next hard drive upgrade I can have enough storage space with just 15x spinners.  Right now, I have 204TB of storage with 18 data drives.  If I drop to 13 data drives and they are 20TB than I would already have 260TB.  If I hold out long enough, I bet I can get 300TB with 13 data drives, one parity, and a cache drive.

    I've decided I'm not getting it.  My existing Xigmatek Elysium case is truly functionally a bit better, so I'm sticking with it.  But if I were buying a case now it would certainly be the AI Raider.  I mean, "Art of Server" likes it and I trust his judgement.  It seems like as close to a perfect case as one could hope.  I'd like to buy it because it looks cooler and more modern than mine, and it's no doubt quieter, but it's kind of a lateral move in most respects for me.

    Figured Id share as well.

    This is my Son building his first server ever.

    Here is the list of parts

    I can post some of the completed project pictures when I get back home if anyone is interested.

    I really just thought it was a cool father son build.

    That's really nice.  I just wish I could get my son into ANYTHING!  He's nine and if it's not video games or TV he's out.  I watched my dad build everything and that's how I learned to build.  Now my dad's passed, and I fix everything around my families' house while my sone looks at a screen in another room...

  9. Nice Build!  Like you, mine changes over the years, but the heart has remained the same ;)

     

     

    I don't know anything about fan controllers, but what I would love is more control of each individual fan rather than groups of fans.  With IPMI control in unRAID you can select two sensors to monitor; CPU and another.  The second controls the speed of every fan in the machine.  I have four hard drive PODs with five discs each and a fan on each.  I then also have four chassis fans.  Right now, IPMI monitors HDD temps and adjusts ALL fans (except CPU) based on the hottest HDD.  I'd really love to have the chassis fans separate from the HD POD fans.  Also, I'd really really love to have each POD fan controlled independently.  

     

    Is there are way you know of to accomplish this?

    Run this in the web terminal:

    cat /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf

    and you'll see:

    # zfs data corruption mitigation, re: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/15526
    options zfs zfs_dmu_offset_next_sync=0

     

    Is this what I should see?

     

    root@unRAID:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf
    zfs_dmu_offset_next_sync=0root@unRAID:~#

    Intel 1290k MSI Z-690-A board.

    Official Plex Media Server. Installed Intel-GPU-Top, but when i go to the terminal and type in cd /dev/dri i get no such file or directory. What am I doing wrong here?

     

    Do you have your integrated graphics set as primary in your BIOS?  It usually cannot be set to auto and should not be set to anything other than the integrated graphics.
