Mover is not moving some files from cache to the array. I have mover logs turned on, but where are they stored?

I am looking for some way to control fan speed in my computer case primarily for the hard drives. They consistly run around 46C during heavy loads such as parity check and playing 4K videos. I am not sure if the Dynamix plugin is workable for my system. I have a Thermaltake Core V71 computer case with a ASUS PRIME Z690-P UEFI BIOS motherboard. I am also running Unraid v 6.12.10 and my array disks are all xfs format. Will this work for me?

I just completed moving files from a REISERFS disk to an XFS disk, which was set up as an excluded drive. I have swapped the two drives and need to physically remove the old REISERFS drive to make way for a larger parity drive. I unassigned the REISERFS drive but it shows my shares with the orange exclamation point symbol. I am concerned that when I assign a new drive to the slot which now has the excluded unassigned drive, it will rebuild the old REISERFS drive. I would like to rebuild the new larger parity drive without this excluded unassigned REISERFS drive.

One other part of this question: I am planning to use the excluded drive as a swap drive formated as XFS and copy one of my REISERFS drives to it. Then swap the XFS for the old REISERFS. When I do this, the system isn't going to rebuild the old REISERFS content onto the newly copied XFS drive, is it?

Just looking for clarity here but under Settings > Global Share Settings, if you add a drive to Excluded Disks, that disks files and folders are not visible in the array but it is included in parity?

I learn something new all the time. I didn't know Unraid did this automatically. So the same is true for a data drive being reused as a new drive I assume.

Meaning formatted? I understand it needs to be formatted. I just didn't know if it needed to be completely cleared.

Does a drive that is used as a second parity drive need to precleared before using it as a data drive in an array?

Would that cause file duplication for the array?

Would it be possible to add a new data drive formatted as XFS and transfer files from a ReiserFS array drive to it while the array is running? Just trying to see if there is a way to do this without taking the Dockers and the array down.

I've just brought over my old unRaid hardware to a new 12th gen Intel. Everything came up fine. However I would like to use the 2TB NVME drive in the new server as expansion to my 1TB SSD drive. After reading some of the posts I'm a bit confused as to how to do this. Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology by referring to it as "cache pool". Is it possible to have a 3TB cache by combining the two? Thanks!

What I need is for the new server to pickup the same IP address. Maybe I should change it in the router first. The old hardware won't be running when I power up the new one.

I am migrating my old unRaid system to a new Intel hardware. My old system is recognized as 192.168.1.99. Do I need to have my router set to match that IP address to the MAC address of the new hardware before I boot it up, or is the IP address set up on the flash boot drive as a static address?

I'm not an expert but wouldn't the easiest and safest way be to move your current drives to the new hardware (keeping the larger drives aside for now) and start up the new hardware with the same flash drive from the old one? That way all your drive assignments and configurations would be identical. Then later replace the data drives one by one with the new ones.

Thanks!

I keep seeing things popping up on this subject. I am getting ready to move my unRaid server to an Alder Lake based system. I am running the latest version of linuxusers/plex and version 6.12.6 of unRaid. No NVIDIA only Intel, and no transcoding. Anything I need to do special for the transition?

Are you using Intel or Nvidia for transcoding?

I am preparing to move my current unRaid server to a new configuration as it is several years old now. I would like to replace the flash drive and conventional wisdom tells me to wait until everything is up and running well with the new configuration before doing so. So my question is this: what is the proper way to replace the flash drive? I assume I need to move a current backup of the current flash drive to the new one, but is there a registration process involved too? Also is there a guide for moving an unRaid server to new hardware?

I have a configuration using an Intel Core i7-12700K Alder Lake CPU with an ASUS Z690-P Prime DDR5 motherboard. I am just getting ready to move my old unRaid server to this configuration. Seeing the posts about Alder Lake still floating around, am I making a mistake moving my unRaid to this configuration? Should I also invest in a Nvidia GPU to avoid problems?

I still have 3 Reiserfs data drives that need to be converted to XFS. Does anyone know what the unRaid OS version is targeted to remove support for Reiserfs completely?

Thanks for this catch! I will add this to my procedure. I was really hoping to only keep my Plex docker running during the conversion. Can I disable mover during this time? Yes I am aware of the drive numbers needing to change for each iteration but I like your idea of listing them out and crossing them off as I go through it. I will likely use the console. I am not an unRAID/Linux expert so I'm not sure what screen mode is. The 12TB will need to be removed as I don't have enough slots for another drive and I have a new 22TB to add in to replace the Parity 2 drive. You've been very helpful. I appreciate it! Dale

I was hoping someone could validate my understand of this process. Does caching need to be turned off before rsyncing files? Does parity get affected by the format of the disk? i.e. when swapping an reiserfs for an xfs, why doesn't this affect parity?

I am preparing to convert my reiserfs drives to xfs and I've been over the recommended procedure for doing this. If the group could indulge me, I would like to show my procedure, adapted from the one on this forum, to see if I have this down correctly. I have the steps outlined in the attached pdf along with my current array configuration. Converting REISERFS to XFS.pdf
