    Home build sanity check

    in Hardware

    Posted · Edited by Ken R.

    Kingston ValueRAM 32 GB (2x16) was the only ram I saw on PCPart Picker and none for 16 gb (2x8) - I did not dig any deeper, just assumed its a covid thing.

     

    No, your right, IPMI was not a consideration.

     

    I sized the PWR supply assuming 14 drives and a dedicated GPU just in case, again, the selection was not great.

    So I can't seem to source ECC ram , even dropping down to 16gb, so is there any reason to go with the Intel Xeon E-2146G or should I just jump to a eq gaming rig board and i7-8700?

    This machine is to take some of the load off of my existing (2 Parity 44tb, i7-920, P6X58D MB, 18 gig ram) unraid server of about 10 years now.  The plan is to add drives as needed, I'll start with the 8tb exos seagates.

     

    I don't run much, it's a headless box that will just run a few dockers (Medusa/SAB/plex/ESPHome, maybe a VM or two but no gaming or such.  I would need to pass through things like USB.  I might retire another machine and run a light weight windows VM too which would need a GPU passthrough.

     

    Here is a link to https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q6tYvW

     

    Any thoughts?  Oh two cases listed in there, not sure which I'd go with yet.  I'll add SATA cards as needed once I exceed the MB SATA.  It would be nice to watch a stream, download and post process at the same time - something I could never do on the other machine (had to pause DL while PP or the stream would buffer)

     

    Thanks,

    Anybody understand this?

     

    I have not been able to get pass through working (sound or video) in a VM - is this call trace related?

     

    Thanks

    Thank you. 

     

    A reboot will not fix it.  I also tried removing most all Dynamix plugins and still get the 1 process busy log entry.  I'll try this weekend to strip it down to stock and start over to find the issue, I was hoping I was missing something obvious and avoid that.

     

    The Powerdown Package (2.16) seems to work fine.

    High-Water

    after all these years I still don't understand how files are allocated to what disk.

     

    All my shares are set High-Water, 20 GB, SL=2 or SL=3, include disk: All, Excluded disk: None, use cache Yes and yet this is how my disks are filling...

     

    Why is disk 3 filling?  Last month it was filling disk 7 then while I wasn't looking switched to disk 3.

    [PhAzE] Plugins for Unraid 5/6

    in Plugin Support

    Posted

    Once I have implemented the ability to change the repo to a custom one, I will make a sickbeard-alt plugin so people can run two sickbeards at the same time, that way you can use one for anime and one for sickrage, or sickbeard... or any other combo of two.

     

    I'll be looking forward to it.  I never could get them working side by side.

     

    Thanks

     

    [Solved] Something Odd: Mover schedule seems to have changed on it's own.....

    I've been adding and moving disks around and on my last restart I started getting the same problem.

     

    Found in the logs:

    Nov 30 08:50:21 kingsnake emhttp: shcmd (45): crontab -c /etc/cron.d - <<< "# Generated mover schedule: 2 /usr/local/sbin/mover |& logger"

     

    which generated the errors:

    crond[1211]: failed parsing crontab for user root: /usr/local/sbin/mover |& logger

     

    reset my scheduled to daily and hopefully it's cured.  I have no idea why it lost the previous setting.

    There is no \media\ in there just ;

     

    \\tower\TV\Title\Season01\ep.mkv

     

    at split level 1 I figure  \\tower\TV\Title\* would be locked to one disk.

    at split level 2 I figure \\tower\TV\Title\Season\* would be locked to one disk - ie the same Title with a different season could be on another disk.

     

    being I was at level 1 I am assuming that only a new Title could be written to disk 3 (after Disk 2 passed 50%) and any existing show's new seasons would be added only on disk 2 (the disk that filled)
