I'm hoping that someone can help me with a potentially unusual usage model. I'm wanting to use the Emby media server docker, but I have a need to map my library to SMB shares, so that there can be a 1:1 path with Kodi clients for ISO mapping purposes. In my old Emby server under Windows, a sample media path would be \\tower\Films\, which would allow a different client to be able to easily mount an ISO from the same path.
This means that the standard model of using the traditional mapped paths such as /mnt/user/Films wouldn't work, as it creates errors when I try and 'play' an ISO in Kodi. Streaming flies of course work fine, but I have hundreds of ISOs and the process in converting them (including all supplements) is a many months-long journey.
So far I've tried restarting the docker container and the entire docker service, and trying privileged mode to no avail - I can't seem to get anything to show up under Network when I try and create my media library.
Any help is appreciated!

Wanted to add a +1 here. My Twonky eval period is just about over, and it just doesn't seem worth paying the $40 for it. I'd be happy to put something similar (or more) into a SlimServer solution for UnRAID.
No Beer, huh? How about gourmet coffee or tea?

I had very bad luck with these drives on my Athalon XP system with 2 promise TX4s. They would bring down the array just about every time there were multiple read/writes. Note that this would still happen even if they were plugged into my Mainboard SATA controller (standard Sil3114). I RMA'd the drives with NewEgg (who took them back without a restocking fee) and replaced them with WD7500AACSes. No issues since then.
Just one user's experience- and it was probably an issue with my particular config. Thought I should warn folks though.

Yeah, I was quietly wondering that as well. Just for the heck of it, I tried moving the one Samsung 750 HD753LJs from the Promise SATA300 TX4 to the 1 RocketRAID 1520 SATA 2 Channel, as it seems like a few folks have had issues with HD753LJs and TX4s. No such luck- it dies on the very same back up to the very same drive (the HD753LJ). So, will I be able to carry my array to a new mainboard?

And tragically, I'm back.
after backing up a good 100GB of DVDs today, while my wife was streaming previously backed up DVDs (also from the UnRAID server) on another computer, The sever completely hung about 15% of the way into a backup. Interestingly, this was even after taking a break from backing up to go see Iron Man.
I think this may be completely unrelated to the earlier PATA issue, as the only issue now seems to be stability - when it's up, performance is just fine.
Annoyingly, there's nothing in the log I was collecting thru a telnet session- the last items are from this morning, after I canceled a parity check:
May 3 10:26:27 Server kernel: can't shrink filesystem on-line May 3 10:26:27 Server last message repeated 2 times May 3 10:26:28 Server kernel: ReiserFS: md4: replayed 7 transactions in 1 seconds May 3 10:26:28 Server kernel: ReiserFS: md4: Using r5 hash to sort names May 3 10:26:28 Server kernel: can't shrink filesystem on-line May 3 10:26:34 Server kernel: usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2 May 3 10:26:34 Server kernel: usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, address 4 May 3 10:26:34 Server kernel: usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, address 5 May 3 10:26:41 Server in.telnetd[1832]: connect from 192.168.1.150 (192.168.1.150) May 3 10:26:44 Server login[1833]: ROOT LOGIN on `pts/0' from `192.168.1.150' May 3 10:27:36 Server kernel: ReiserFS: md12: replayed 132 transactions in 69 seconds May 3 10:27:36 Server kernel: ReiserFS: md12: Using r5 hash to sort names May 3 10:27:36 Server kernel: can't shrink filesystem on-line May 3 10:28:27 Server kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ15.

So that's the last line before the sudden death tonight. Does using tail -f /var/sys/syslog capture all the same information as grabbing the syslog from the server itself?

Update:
at 8:30 this morning (according to the log) myUnRAID server choked again. Interestingly, it was about 4 hours after completing a 60GB copy operation. I replaced the irqpoll with nolapic noapic this morning, and have so far backed up another 80GB of DVDs while playing a BD backup without issue. I'll report back either a) in 48 hrs or b) after the next crash - whichever comes first.
-
Update:
I tried moving everything to the Primary IDE channel, and then copying a few DVD backups to the server. After about 20 minutes, the server hangs hard- I have to do a hard reboot, which of course means no log from the UnRAID server. however, 15 min before the crash is the last entry in the PuTTY tail I was running:
May 2 23:16:39 Server kernel: [ 238.104645] spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
I've gone ahead and entered in irqpoll, so that didn't seem to help. I also tried swapping IDE cables, just in case.
-
OK, It's about an 70 min from finishing a parity build. When it's done, I'll try moving everything to the primary IDE channel. What does the irqpoll parameter do?

All-
At first my UnRAID was working great, but then I added 2 PATA drives to it, and it has been unbelievably slow. In fact, sometimes the shares will disapear altogether from the network, often when I'm 1/3rd of the way into a DVD backup. I'd really like to know why. MY Mainboard is a DFI Lanparty NFII (Athalon XP 2500), and my drives are a combination of SATA (Samsung 750 HD753LJs and Western Digital WD7500AAKS) and PATA (older Segate 250s). I'm using 1 Promise SATA300 TX4 and 1 RocketRAID 1520 SATA 2 Channel for SATA control, Manboard IDE for the PATA drives.
I'm using the onboard gigabit NIC.
My log file is attached in 2 parts here and below.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help!
Unraid 14th Birthday Case Badge Giveaway

I've been using Unraid for a good 10 years now, moving from a couple of hand-me-down gaming PCs to finally building a real (for me) dual Xeon 30TB media server with 13 data drives, 2 parity drives and a couple for SSDs for cache. I run about 20 Docker containers and a couple of VMs for good measure. Last week an old drive died, and the server was down a total of 10 minutes for the drive swap with (of course) no data loss.
Oh, and I'd love one of the badges for my server.
