I currently have my unraid system running on an old amd apu and my main rig is a separate pc. I want to move my current unraid to a new pc. This includes new motherboard and cpu but with all the same hdd and ssd for cache. Is it possible to do this without loosing all the data already on the hdd?

I was wondering the same but have a 4790k on hand which I could use or sell and replace with a 6700k. My intention is to run one Windows 10 VM and then Unraid running Plex, Sabnzbd and Sonarr. My apologies for asking in this thread but it's a similar question.

Thanks for the advice, I tried the setup you suggested and it did download the TV shows to the correct folder and then I edited the path for each TV Series in Sonarr and everything worked, renaming and moving of the files to the shares, thanks.

I have attached screenshots showing the setup of each app in the Docker and inside the app itself, hopefully these help identify the issue.

I would like to update this thread to say that I still have no idea why Sonarr renames files and then creates a new Media folder on my Cache drive when it is set to NO. I have been manually moving all the renamed files using Putty and MC, I have to copy them from the cache drive to the relevant HDD, if I try to renmove I am denied as I cannot remove files from the Cache drive. Once the files are copied I then delete the Media folder on the cache drive, as soon as a new episode of any TV show is downloaded then the Media folder is recreated on the Cache drive and the whole thing starts again.

Yes I managed to get the original drive online and used MC to copy the appdata folder to my disk share, I then added a new SSD for the cache and copied the info back over and its all working.

Ok I managed to get the original drive booted and online in the array and I have copied the appdata and docker.img onto my share under a cache.copy folder. I read on the wiki that I should just be able to copy this data back across to my new cache drive once installed and that should restore all the missing information.

No it was a single cache drive not part of a pool. I am going to try and remove it from the machine and see if I can grab the data off it another way then. I guess I can just setup all my Dockers again along with all the appdata.

Is there anyway to recover data from my cache drive, it failed and after multiple reboots would not load back up, I replaced it with a new SSD and formatted the drive but I see no way to backup the appdata and docker information from my original cache.

Ok I will have to try and find a way to have the files renamed and not saved to this folder on the cache, I am not sure how it is being created right now, must be something to do with the Sonarr docker settings.

1. Ensure the share is set to cache: no. It is set to NO 2. Invoke mover manually (from the webGUI) to move the files to the array. Did this nothing moved off the cache 3. remove the media folder from your cache drive. I tried using Midnight Commander but it says the drive is Read only and will not allow me to delete it. I had to move all the files individually using MC to the disks themselves, I tried to use RenMov but had the same Read only issue. 4. investigate your sonarr settings. Sonarr stores the path in the config for each series. These settings all appear to be correct and did work prior to this issue. 5. investigate your docker config for sonarr. If you have it set to /media --> /mnt/cache/media then that's your issue, change it to /media --> /mnt/user/media This is setup to /mnt/user/Media/TV Shows/ I am thinking that there may be an issue with my cache drive as this Media folder is Read only and therefore mover is not working and cannot move the files as it should. Could the drive be corrupted somehow? I tried to attach the diagnostics file but it is too large for the Attachment option. I ran the following on all of my drives and only the SSD cache drive had any issues. # smartctl -H /dev/sdb smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-4.1.5-unRAID] (local build) Copyright © 2002-13, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === Log Sense failed, IE page [scsi response fails sanity test] UPDATE I rebooted the system and had some further issues and had to reboot again to get it up and running. I was able to delete the folder cache/Media using Windows Explorer but not via Putty. I then let Sonarr find a new episode and download via Sab, when it came to renaming the new file ended up in a newly created cache/Media folder which I guess would be fine if mover worked. I invoked mover manually and checked the sys log. Sep 21 23:59:14 Wedge_Server logger: mover started Sep 21 23:59:14 Wedge_Server logger: skipping "Media" Sep 21 23:59:14 Wedge_Server logger: skipping "appdata" Sep 21 23:59:14 Wedge_Server logger: skipping "vDisks" Sep 21 23:59:14 Wedge_Server logger: mover finished Not sure why it is skipping this folder.

Well it is moving it to the Media share but it just happens to have somehow created a new Media folder on the cache drive and this is now part of the share even though the rules for the Media share prevent it from using the cache drive.

I too seem to be having the same issue and cannot get a display out for Openelec or Ubuntu. I have an AMD A4 5300 APU and the GTX 750Ti as discrete video card, the card is outputting as I have my HDMI plugged into it and in use for BIOS settings etc.

My Dockers are acting very strangely since adding a discrete GTX 750Ti earlier today. I had to disable the Docker under Settings/Docker and enable to get any of them to load up initially and since then I have tried to add new Dockers and none of them seem to download and are not added. I even upped the img size from 10GB to 15GB, any ideas?

This is my main issue, I see no way to select which folder I would like the renamed files moved too within Sonarr, so they are just ending up on the cache under a new folder named Media which I did not create.

It is not set to use the cache drive as it is only a 60GB SSD and I also have Dockers and VMs stored on there.

My Media share is set to not use the cache drive hence my confusion.

I am using Sonarr and sab to grab TV and the files are downloaded to cache drive folder then renamed using Sonarr. This is when it gets odd as renamed files are moved to A media folder on my cache drive and not my media share. Any help is appreciated.

I believe that the advice is to use SSD as cache drives as this will significantly improve speeds.

Thanks for the replies. I will have to run CAT5 from my router to my home office if I want to take advantage of unRAID as a gaming PC and NAS. It would be nice to play with these features first but as none of my current CPUs support Vt-d I may as well try to trade up to a 4790k or even to newer Intel tech. Has anybody used unRAID with Skylake? I assume using my GTX 970 for gaming will not be an issue?

This was a helpful post, I now know that I need to have my Unraid machine next to my desk in my office if I want to game on it and to do that I need to run CAT cable from my router upstairs otherwise PLEX playback and D/L speeds in other Dockers will suffer over my current setup of Powerline adaptors.

I am considering a major upgrade to the hardware in my Unraid setup and want to know if its worth the hassle of stripping down my three current PC's listed below and using parts from each to create a beast of an Unraid machine capable of running VM's of Windows and all of my games as well as being a media hub with Plex Server, Sabnzbd, Sonar etc. I would like to know if the Unraid server would be best relocated from its current position under my couch to my home office for gaming requirements or can I still just remote in from a laptop and display out onto my 27" IPS? Is it worth trying to build a monster or just take some of the parts from the Steam Machine and incorporate those into the Unraid build and keep the current gaming rig? Has anybody built an Unraid server and also used it as their main gaming machine? I have included a list of the parts in each machine, I think it would be best to buy a new ATX motherboard for the Unraid server if I decide to upgrade.

Hi thanks for all of the info JonP I have setup VM asper your video and enabled all the applicable settings in the BIOS but cannot seem to get Openelec to work. I have an AMD A5300 APU and I am not sure if this requires some specific settings as its an APU vs a PCI video card. Any help is appreciated as I have tried several options so far with no luck.

Thanks for letting me know. I decided to just use SFTP as its much faster, although its still going to take some time to move all my files over.

I just installed this plugin via Telnet and it is up and running without any issues other than the speed. I am moving files from my external HDD to my cache drive and the speed is only 730KB/second, is this normal?
