Building parity re-zeros the drive?
I recently purchased a new drive that was much larger than my array drives, to use as a parity drive. I pre-cleared the drive and it has the pre-clear signature. I then removed my old parity drive and added the new large parity drive. I expected Unraid to build the parity up to the size of my largest array drive and then be done. After all, the entire drive was filled with zeros. Instead Unraid built the required parity portion of the drive and now is writing zeros to the rest of the drive. This is adding ~10 hours to the operation and it's redundant work. Was there anything I could have done to avoid this? Am I wrong, and there is a valid reason for Unraid to continue to re-zero the rest of the drive? Will monthly parity-checks take a lot longer because the parity drive is much larger than the array drives? v6.12.8

[Support] Partition Pixel - Chia
Putting the mnemonic pass phrase in a plain text file seems really risky... I just want to plot, so my situation might be a rare, but for anyone like me you can get your farmer and pool keys using this command: chia keys show And then you can plot using the following command: chia plots create [other plot options] -f <farmer key> -p <pool key>

[Support] Partition Pixel - Chia
I just want to use my unraid server as a plotter. Also, I've had success plotting directly on a disk drive. Sure, it takes a lot longer, but it doesn't ruin an SSD. Anyway, am I correct that I need an unassigned disk drive if I wanted to do this? All my current drives are on the array and I assume that massive writes to any array drive would be very slow (slower than a HDDs normal write bottleneck because of parity writes). Is my assumption correct? Thanks for making this docker BTW. Great addition to the community.

Release: Folding@Home Docker
I haven't been getting WUs for my NVIDIA gpu for a couple days now. I paused the slot, restarted it and immediately got a WU. Something to try out if you aren't getting any units.

[Support] Djoss - FileBot
This docker is nice however I don't want the automated execution of filebot. I would rather it be triggered by my torrent program. Is there a way to disable the execution interval? Perhaps setting the interval to 0 accomplishes this but I didn't see anything in the documentation. Thanks

Unraid 14th Birthday Case Badge Giveaway
About 5 years ago I decided to build my own server out of parts lying around. I didn't intent to actually use it, I just wanted to learn, but unraid was so easy to use that I moved all my data over and have been happy since. I'm on my 3rd build, improving the CPU and memory each time for better media codec performance. This month, I built a server for my friend as a birthday gift and I will have officially brought a +1 to the unraid party!

Plex: Guide to Moving Transcoding to RAM
There doesn't seem to be a need to worry about memory consumption. The Plex/Unraid combo seems to handle itself just fine. This is my box configured with RAM transcoding working on a 13 Mbps video over 2 hours with only 8 GB memory.
