    I've installed the plugin and it works beautifully as intended. Thanks. Sent from my SM-J710GN using Tapatalk

    I'm using an Asus B75M-LE motherboard. I can't see any S3 sleep settings in the manual. Can I still use that plugin? Sent from my SM-J710GN using Tapatalk

    I'm running unRAID 6.3.2 bare-metal. Is it possible to automatically poweroff if all drives are spun-down after a certain duration? Sometimes I leave the house for many hours, forgetting to shutdown unRAID. Sent from my SM-J710GN using Tapatalk

    That's an excellent suggestion. I'll upgrade the v5.

    I'm using a 6 HDD array (ReiserFS) + 1 parity in unRAID 6.3.2 without plugins or dockers. Can I shutdown and replace the unRAID 6.3.2 USB with unRAID 5.0.5 USB, then assign the same slots and parity? I plan to use my unRAID 6.3.2 USB for a new system in the future.

    I'm not sure which toolset you're using but in principle you need: sas2flsh.exe -l eraselog.txt -o -e 6 to erase the card (megarec is probably not working anymore once the card is on P20) and then sas2flsh.exe -l Flashlog.txt -o -f 2118it.bin to flash the firmware. If I remember correctly, there is an option to erase only the BIOS (must be another number than 6) but I have no time to search right now. I'm using the P11 firmware provided from this forum. Thanks.

    I have successfully flashed my new IBM m1015 to IT mode. I used the default bat steps which included the mptsas2.rom . If I don't want the rom now , which step do I need to re-do , do I need to start from the beginning as in 1.bat and so forth?

    I read somewhere that the IBM M1015 gets quite warm. What are the limits in Celcius before required to add a fan? Is there a tool to monitor the chip on the card?

    Hi Fireball3, Which would be easier to flash to IT for Unraid 6, between H310 vs M1015? I have a few old mobos that are all non-UEFI to carry out the flashing. Its going to be my first purchase of a SAS card to replace an old Syba PCIe 1x card.

    Does the M1015 support 8TB HDDs? Sent from my SM-J710GN using Tapatalk

    My Unraid 6.1.2 seems to be working fine. When I decided to check on the syslog I found numerous ACPI errors. I wonder is these need to be rectified or maybe negligible? syslog.txt

    Great. Thanks for the info.

    I'd like to check an old HDD for bad sectors. I read somewhere that modern harddisks has spare areas to automatically replace any bad sectors. Can preclear find bad sectors and permanently avoid them in future writes? Or use other softwares for that?

    Thanks. That's what I was looking for.

    New to Unraid 6. Newbie to Linux. Looking for a step by step guide how to install and run Openelec on Unraid 6. Please help.

    I have messed up my file and directory security permissions for my movie collection. Can't seem to understand the complexity of how Windows handle permissions. Almost given up, decided not to waste more time trying to sort the mess, why not just move the movies to a separate Unraid server. What will happen to the file permissions afterwards since unraid is based on linux?
  17. sivaptw
    Good idea. I will do just that. Thanks.

    The data disks were previously formatted using GPARTED with ReiserFS and filled with movies using XBMC file manager in Openelec. Never been used before with Unraid.

    I am planning to set up a new Unraid system with 5 HDDs already filled with movies and a brand new blank HDD for parity. All my data disks were previously formatted with ReiserFs before filled up with data. Can this be done?
  20. sivaptw
    Just of curiosity, why would anyone want to use external drives and reuse them internally for the array? Since external drives are slightly more costly.
  21. sivaptw
    My Unraid system has filled to maximum and I would like to replace current 4TB disks to new 6TB disks in future. Is this possible with my hardware? Asus B75M-LE motherboard Pentium 2.9Ghz LGA1156 8GB Ram 6 x 4TB WD Red Unraid 5.0.5

    Today, I removed disk4 and attached it to a Windows machine using USB external cable. Successfully detected as USB HDD and formatted to NTFS. Removed the disk and reattached it to the server. Detected by the BIOS. Doing a preclear on UNRAID now. Hope all the data for this HDD can be rebuild after starting the array later on.
  23. sivaptw
    Ahhhhh, rebooted the server into BIOS now and found out that the disk4 which was redballed is not detected in the BIOS now. Looks like its dead. Bad luck.
  24. sivaptw
    The reiserfsck rebuild tree finally completed but I forgot to capture the log. Anyway I rebooted the server and now I got a redball on the disk4. Shall I get a new harddisk for immediate replacement and see if I can recover data automatically?
  25. sivaptw
    I am currently doing the reiserfsck --rebuild-tree step now. After completing, if the disk4 is repaired, will the parity drive need to be rebuild to match the changes errors corrected on disk4? Or is the parity update automatically once I start the array afterwards ?
