  1. thanks, yes the T400 is for any transcoding (mainly via Emby) needs. agree on the bios. I hooked up a monitor to it for the first time in years to check the LSI firmware. I went into the Z68 bios and it was a step back in time - only a few menus to go through. keyboard control, etc.
  2. thanks. I put the LSI in the x4 as the manual said if you put something in the x8 it will share with the x16 and they will both run at x8. So not sure if that limits the t400 i know I am on borrowed time with the z68. Who would have guessed 10 years running unraid on this board with no issues..
  3. I need to go back and see if I was comparing bytes to bits. Wish they would pick one and be consistent when specing hardware.
  4. Hi, I am getting ready to add a few drives and bought LSI SAS 9211-8i card (and got it working after figuring out the 'tape mod'). my build is quite old (but working ok) with a Gigabyte GA-Z68A-DH3-B3 motherboard. Before adding any thing I started to wonder if I had things plugged into optimal slots. The MB has 2 6GB SATA ports, and 4 3GB SATA ports. I currently have all 6 ports used (1 ssd cache drive and 5 HDD including parity). In regards to PCIe slots, the board is version 2. I have a nvidia T400 in the x16 top slot. I put the LSI card into the X16 "x4" slot. Then I realized I was not sure if I was bottlenecking something. It looks like a PCIe X4 version 2 has a 2GB/s speed which would be slower than any of the onboard SATA slots. Assume I should have the SSD in the onboard 6GB port? And if I add a 2nd SSD for dual cache I should use the other 6GB onboard. For HDDs - will I see a performance difference using onboard 3GB/s port versus the LSI card sharing a 2GB/S PCIe 4x slot? thanks for any comments / suggestions on how to configure this.
  5. Thanks. Unfortunately my situation is like the one in the link you shared .. Livetv related and one huge 100gb+ file grows.
  6. thanks - I set up the script so will see how that works out for me (hopefully "0 3 * * *" works for running daily at 3am...)
  7. Hi, I have had an issue for years where my emby transcoding file fills up my docker image on the cache drive. Each time I have to delete docker and reinstall the apps. This is due to roku not being closed down correctly (hitting home button instead of back button to exit emby roku app). However- I'll never get others in the house to do this correctly so need a different solution. Is there a way I can set it up for Emby Docker to just restart at 3am each night for example? this should shut down any transcoding. or other ideas? thanks
  8. thanks for the link - it is quite informative. A bit out of date (I see blue Iris is available now via docker). But still helpful- thanks
  9. Hi - not sure where to post this so apologies if it needs to be moved. I have started to look into getting a few security cameras outside and would like to be able to use my Unraid server to store the videos versus a paid cloud solution. I am looking for some advice on a few things.. --I have read that there could be issues with security cameras always keeping the dives spinning/writing. I have a spare 120gb ssd- could I just put this in and have the cameras write to it? I do not care much about having the data backed up. --what software systems are recommended ? I have read on others setting up 'blue iris' as a windows VM. Are there other recommendations on the best software solution compatible with Unraid? -and finally- not very unraid specific, but are there security camera recommendations that would be compatible with the unraid hardware solution ? I assume cameras such as Ring have propriety solution and you are stuck with the cloud. thanks!
  10. thanks - that seemed to work, here is the new report after disabling spin down ST3000DM001-1CH166_Z1F45EWH-20211106-1336.txt
  11. Hi, I recently had one of my drives shST3000DM001-1CH166_Z1F45EWH-20211105-1744.txtow an error but I am not sure what it means. I ran the extended smart test - see attached for the results. any help/advice is appreciated. I am interested mainly on if this is an indication of imminent failure and if I should start moving files off this drive. thanks!
  12. Thanks. Missed that- thought it was just a snip of previous post and didn’t realize it was a link
  13. I did. There was no solution that I see posted? But it sounds like the same issue I am having.
  14. Same issue just started for me. Been on 6.8.3 without issues for a long time. Just noticed this week that all of my dockers say version not available. tried restarting the server, did not fix the issue
  15. Hi, no - never fixed it. I still can't copy to any of the top level directories. I also built a new windows 10 PC / fresh install etc and it has the same issue. good luck!
