  1. Waking up, giving the logs a check all I see is this line. What's going on with my preclear here? Here are also all the diagnostics.
  2. I'm only asking this here because there are lots of smart people here. I have asked this on Windows specific forums with no luck. And have searched Google as well. I have tried several "resolutions" but none of them work. The issue I am having is I am unable to access my shares ( not unraid ) on my Windows 11 machines. They are all setup to be in a private network, printer and file sharing are on, network discovery, all that good stuff. Get this, I can even turn OFF the Windows firewall and when I try to access a default C$ share all it does it prompts me for a username and password. I've tried making a local user on all the machines so I knew I was using good credentials. When I do this to my Windows 10, it just pops up the C$ with no problems, doesn't ask for credentials at all. I checked credential manager as well. How can a Windows 11 share not be accessible even with a firewall off? Has anyone here run into anything like this with Windows 11? I have no clue what's blocking me from accessing these shares. I have 4 Windows 11 machines and 1 Windows 10. All 4 Windows 11 machines are presenting the same behavior and it is making me go nuts. Of course if I'm on the Windows 11 computer itself and enter the IP or name \\192.168.1.122\C$ it pops right up. Just can't access the default shares or the folders I shared manually which is prohibiting me to do a few things I want. Does anyone have a clue on what could this problem be? Since it happens on 4 completely different computers I know it has to be a specific Windows issue, one that I haven't figured out yet. I'll give you a buffalo nickel if you lead me into resolving this one!!!
  3. Anyway, moving right along. Since the hours past fast I let the preclear finish on its own. Once that was done, a quick format and 18TB added to the array. Now I'm moving content off the 2nd 4TB drive that I want to remove from the system. I do have 2 more, so I may get another 18TB and just remove all the 4TB drives. Why I'm trying to do this is because the results of a diskspeed test really show these 4TB drives are pretty significantly slower than the 8TB, 10TB, 18TB drives. And the time on a couple of these drives were 7+ years. Little long in the tooth. So my next step would be to physically remove the empty 4TB drives then select NEW CONFIG and I think once again a parity will be kicked off again. All those who supported me with answering my questions and helping me out, thank you.
  4. I took a quick screen shot. UPDATE: I just reviewed my plugin list and there is UNNASSIGNED DEVICES PRECLEAR there. When I click on that it does show me the header of what would be values if a disk was there doing a preclear. What was odd with mine, the precleear started by itself but never showed up on that page. If this is the plugin that kicked off my disk preclear is it supposed to show up on that preclear page? sun-diagnostics-20220430-0420.zip
  5. when I cancel the preclear it just sits at a blue square and I cannot get it to sink into the array. Is there a special process I need to do prior to getting that new drive ready or something? I do really want to stop it, but absorb the disk into the array. Not let unraid see it as an un precleared drive so it keeps kicking off that parity. Suggestions on that? I'm always VERY hesitant when performing disk operations since I have 120TB array and 90TB of it being used. So me always asking questions I "should" know is just reinforcement that I am correct.
  6. I already have an 18TB as my parity. I installed that several weeks ago knowing I would be doing this. Parity was rebuilt with no errors.
  7. The status that I am at now is I cleared out one 4TB drive. Good. Then I installed the new 18TB without removing any drives yet. When unraid started a pre-clear automatically started. I did not install a pre-clear plugin, but when I selected TOOLS / DISK UTILITIES I clicked on PRECLEAR DISK and would of though I'd see the preclear going there. I do not. Right now all I see is on my dashboard upper right corner is some preclear information. It indicates it will take 17 hours to complete. I'm not sure I want to wait that long. Honestly I haven't done a preclear in ages. I guess I'm walking on ice. Does everyone still perform preclears? Also the preclear that is running, this obviously kicked off by itself, is there a way to cancel it and not have unraid keep trying to preclear it? I mean if I have to wait, no big deal, just a little impatient to get this little upgrade done. Once this new disk is all ready I will run unbalance again and utilize the new drive to dump the old 4TB drives out.
  8. I've used it a couple of times on 6.9.2 with no issues. Retiring a couple old drives so I chose this tool. It has been working great since the first move. I'm so tired of mechanical drives. Eventually everything will be in a cloud or locally like an SSD. I doubt I'll be alive to see it happen. Disk moves/copies take forever!
  9. What would your recommendation be to use for the moving files off the 4TB drives? I see the data I need to move on disk shares but am not sure that would screw up parity moving from disk share to disk or disk to array.
  10. I guess I have this notion in my mind I cannot remove 2 drives that have data on them. If I need to empty them first, no problem. Using a terminal and MC is the quickest. But to confirm, they do have to be empty prior to removing them, correct? And thank you Jon.
  11. I came across another 18TB Gold drive which I want to add to the array. But I want to also remove 2 or 3 old 4TB drives I have installed. I know this isn't going to take a second, but what suggestions would anyone have to do this the quickest way? Since I cannot remove 2 data drives at once I was going to remove 1 4TB drive, let the system rebuild. Then remove another, let the system rebuild, and then once more, remove another 4TB, let the system rebuild. That's 3 parity checks which usually take 24 hours each, so apparently this is going to take a long time. After the 4TB drives are out then I'll just install the 18TB and no parity check at that time. There isn't any possible way to remove 2 data drives at a time, right? What if I was to move all the data off of them using a stable move command or a plugin like UNBALANCE if it still works. Then the parity check will be pretty quick since there would be no data on those drives anyway, correct?
  12. I am thinking about running this utility on 6.9.2, but not entirely it would work. I haven't see any development since last March I think that was, maybe the dev team is slowdown? There are always new features and plugins unraid can have to make it more available for the user. Even the dumb ones. I'm not even going to try and use unbalance until it has proven to work. I swapped so many drives around some are completely empty and some are bustout out! Anyone here use UNBALANCE for server version 4.76.1. So they can put the same amount of space on all the drives? I think it is more efficient that way.
  13. Thanks. So when the array reboots this information gets cleared since it is not saved on the boot drive?
  14. I only bring this up because I keep file activity on all the time and the tons of information is there, but my log system never really increases. Thanks for the info.
  15. On the dashboard, flash, ram, log, and docker. How are these numbers calculated? For instance my log is at %3, how is unraid determining this? Thanks-
  16. I am not a MAC guy at all. I would be able to install these Apps on my Apple TV 4v as an app?? Try to force the audio through. I believe when I was testing my hardware I forced direct audio as well and then when transcoding it worked. I would suspect any 1Gb player would work fine, that's why I keep fooling around with my $200 Apple 4k TV device. I've been waiting for about 20 hours not touching my array since it is on the last leg of my parity build. I can't do much with the server until that's all done. This is a great site with many samples! I'll be testing out my hardware for sure after my parity build
  17. Sure, no problem. Would anyone know of a way to create a video file that has a constant bitrate around 90-100? All that's really needed is 10 to 15 minutes. I should have thought of this earlier. Go to the Jellyfish site and grab at least the 100 rate files and try them out. I just tried to play them all and so happens the Dune was the only player to play from start to finish with no issues. Video test files!
  18. I would check the physical connections and cabling. Many of the drives I saw had UDMA_CRC_Error_Count and not just 1 or 2. I saw one drive that had over 100000. I also saw a couple drives that had very high read error rates. 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate POSR-- 074 064 006 - 25790154 UDMA error count example smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-5.10.28-Unraid] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Toshiba 3.5" DT01ACA...

  19. See if you can get GPARTED to run on your system. It is a powerful partition tool that barely takes up space, but at least you will have a visual of what's going on. Since I didn't want to fool around with my server I created a GPARTED live USB bootable stick. I used a PC I had that was running Windows 10. I just connected the drive in question to the SATA port on the computer and then booted to the USB stick which ran the GPARTED GUI. Here you can download the GPARTED LIVE ISO Just "burn" the ISO file with the utility RUFUS to the USB stick and away you go.
  20. Thanks! I constantly forget I have a couple real old 4GB drives in the array. When I did a long diskspeed test a few weeks ago all the 4GB drives dipped right down, and I have 4 of them. My array would be much more snappier if I didn't have those 4GB drives. With 15 drives I'm up at %80! After this parity is complete I have 1 more 10TB drive to add. I certainly can't remove all 4 of the 4TB drives, but I'll probably ditch 2 of them and be around %78-%79. If I do some house cleaning, I can certainly regain some space back. That's the cost of me liking those high bitrate content. Thanks Oh, I forgot to ask, what is everyone's numbers on the first page of their disk settings? Tunable - poll attribute: 1800 Tunable - enable NCQ: AUTO Tunable - NR REQUESTS: 1024 Tunable - md_num_stripes: 4096 Tunable - md_queue_limit: 80 Tunable - md_sync_limit: 5 Tunable - md_write_method: reconstruct write I tried running the tunables script again but it started pounding out errors fairly quickly. Too bad. That was a great utility that should have taken on more development or at least continue to make it work. I bet so many users out there could gain some speed from adjusting these settings but they really are obscure for most people.
  21. Here is an MKV movie file from my archive that is around 89Mbps. Posted is the media file's specifications. I'd like to know if anyone plays content from their server can play this movie with no issues. Unfortunately would need some kind of proof that it has happened. I've tried just about everything ( for testing ) to see what is able to play this and what is not. Roku: Dismal fail Any version of Apple TV hardware: Fail Plex as a Docker: Fail ( using a capable computer ) Plex as it's own server: Fail ( using a very capable computer ) Dune- Model Real Vision 4K: Awesome- the highest profile, Dolby Vision. Nvidia Shield Newer Model: Using the Plex App- YES! ( very surprised, but it does have the onboard power to do so ) I wish a few people would try it out. Just to see all along if user's setups can play that high bitrate content. I suspect most media watchers are using some kind of media player like Plex, or using an app like HBOMAX, Disney+. Most of the time the Plex server is transcoding and cannot direct play and when viewing content via media app it's about only 12Mbps or less. Don't get me wrong, the picture still looks wonderful, but after I watched Dune 2021 as it was supposed to be seen it is hard to watch other great cinema graphically content knowing there always is that top tier of visual candy. I understand there are so many variables here and different systems out there, but that's what makes me so curious about the results. The file is large. 80GB. I'm linking it to share to user's can access the media for testing purposes only. I wanted to use real world content and not video test files. I used a fairly old movie so most wouldn't care. Lord Of War - 2005. Well, let me know if anyone tries this and what the results were. I've posted the media file's specs. Also, when I tried playing some content with that file browser you suggested it apparently does not recognize MKV format. Of course I tried using my Plex server with the Apple TV and the movie content wouldn't even start or the Apple TV iOS crashed.

  22. Before having a couple drives blow up on me and ports go bad I finally received my final parity drive. I went for the Western Digital Enterprise Gold model. I do think the parity build is going a little slow, or could that be a placebo affect since I haven't had to do a parity in such a long time. Do you think the speed at 166MB/sec is a little slow? Anyway I do think that WD RED PRO drive is the same drive as WD Gold drive. WD is large enough to handle multiple skus for the same product, easy for them.
  23. Ripping full uncompressed and try to make my Plex server direct play and transcode was just a horrible option. I've just been using Plex less and less and opting for the Dune to get that excellent picture quality I'm looking for. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to use Plex's interface all the time, but not if I want to play just 10Mbps movies.
