  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!
  16. thanks - I tried quite a few of this with no luck. I ran the docker-permissions tool to reset share permissions. I also uninstalled SMB1.0 from windows 10 as I read recently that Unraid upgraded it's SMB support. no luck. For any of my top level directories I cannot copy files- but if I open any directory I can then drag/drop and copy a file into it. any other suggestions? thanks
  17. Hi, I just noticed an issue when trying to copy a file from a windows 10 PC to unraid via explorer. I could not copy to any folder (the red circle with slash through it). I rebooted the windows 10 PC, then the unraid server. Upgraded from 6.8.1 to 6.8.2. Still no luck. Then I tried going into a sub directory and was able to copy. For example - I can't copy to \movies but I can copy to \movies\action. I have not changed anything in ages on the unraid server (settings, etc) -but I checked anyway my user permissions on the share it was OK. the only thing I can think of is over the last week the new windows 10 version 1909 installed- could that have changed something that does not allow copying to a top level directory? ideas? thanks also - just checked on windows 10PC and SMB 1.0 was still enabled...figured maybe something to do with SMB.
  18. Hi - issues playing .mp4 from emby IOS (connecting to unraid docker). Luke @ emby forum was helping troubleshoot and in the end he recommended installing emby docker from their site to fix issues with ffmpeg. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/54841-issue-playing-mp4/?p=532343 as I have only ever installed dockers from Unraid gui, can anyone here first tell me why this docker won't play the file correctly ? is there a different unraid emby docker (I see a binhex one also?) that would work? thanks
  19. Would you care to name them so that others are forewarned? I don't know which SSDs are good and which are not so good. Reviews on Anandtech are a good place to start... +1 Also avoid any planar tlc ssd. As for the OP's problem log looks good, trim is working, still looks like an SSD issue, make sure you're using the latest firmware, this model had a speed problem, although it affected mostly read speed. Hi - never tried updating firmware on a drive in the unraid server. Do I have to pull the SSD and put it into my windows PC to update the firmware? or is there a way to do from linux? thanks
  20. Hi- see attached for diagnostics thanks tower-diagnostics-20170128-1652.zip
  21. It is a Samsung 840 Evo - seems to be a reasonable SSD from what I can tell.
  22. Hi Yes I just went and checked again. Browsed to cache drive and they are still there (mover has not run yet). I'm using 6.2.4. thanks
  23. Hi, I quite often have an issue where my speed drops significantly during the middle of copying a file to my unraid server. I use a cache SSD drive - and it is enabled for the drives I am using. I also check after and see that the files are on the cache drive so it is copying to the ssd cache (and it is not full). (all computers hard wired / cate5e, no wireless). speeds typically start out at 112MB/sec and sometimes stay steady at that rate for the whole file - other times it drops to ~21MB/sec (see attached screen shot). I also run the SSD trim plugin and have it set to run daily. any ideas on what it could be, or how to troubleshoot this? thanks
  24. yes, from a fresh install agree it looks like the binlog not uncommented (but it is - see screenshot) I used the mc editor to do it. just checked using notepad++ and it says 'unix' at the bottom, that was other thought was wrong format file. also did the chown 644. thanks got it working! not sure how. stopped dockers, reopened the config file using notepad++, resaved, reapplied chown, restarted dockers and ran the webgui thanks again for all of the help today
  25. yes I missed the semicolons! also I missed the " ' " on the 'root'@'localhost' lines.... making some progress I think, the nextcloud folder was created. however I still get an error on the nextcloud webgui config, see attached (it is different error this time)
