oh boy, any suggestions, links for the xfs conversion

Hi everyone, this is really interesting. All of my drives are at 90% use, they range from 2 TB to 10 TB. I use the server as media repository for movies and tv series. Files are never changed, only added. Does that mean I can safely set the limit to 1%? This will not affect the server read performance? Don't really care much about the write side as I only write each file once. My free space currently is just under 5Tb. PS: my file system is reiserfs

I used the built in Tools / New Permissions, selecting ALL shares

New Permission fixed it, thank you everyone

To get the docker run, I changed UID to 1 from 2. Just changed it back.

Where do I find the path mappings? I also don't seem to have an option to install an updated version, and I can't force an install it seems. I don't want to uninstall it. I have installed the docker, then via its interface chose which folders on the servers to scan. The TV folder works fine and the Movies folder has also worked find for a very long time. It finds the movies in the folder, it just reports it cannot access the folders. When I move a movie out of the folder, it is scanning the right uberfolder and it finds another movie which is correct, but cannot access.

I am running unraid version 6.11.1. On top I have a docker for EmbyServer, which provides a gateway for all my backed up movies on the unraid server. A while ago I upgraded both the docker and the unraid OS. I am not sure what broke where, but since October my emby server has not complete a scan of the library, therefore any movies I added to the library are not being added. Hello, I have a question about an emby problem, which I reported here Judging by the embyserver log file seems like something has gone wrong with the folder permissions "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/mnt/user/unraid/bluray/The.Hateful.Eight (2015)' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied" I have tried moving the movie folder out of the overall bluray folder, but it finds another, and then another and then another folder that it cannot access, and this stops the scan. I was advised to fix the permissioning, but I have no idea how to do that. Shall I go to Tools / New Permissions and just click on the Start button? Would that fix my issues?

Hello, I have a question about an emby problem, which I reported here https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/114227-library-scan-does-not-detect-and-add-new-movies/page/2/ Something seems to have gone wrong with the folder permissions, probably when I upgraded unraid and had to use a different flash (long story). Anyhow, I was asked to fix the permissioning, but I have no idea how to do that. Shall I go to Tools / New Permissions and just click on the Start button? Would that fix my issues?

Low and behold, tried on a different 4GB flash drive that I was given when I bought some school pictures of my kids and that boots first time, using rufus v 3.12 (I have also been testing different versions of rufus). Replaced the pro key, and server is again up and running. I do wish we didn't have to use a USB key to start this thing though.

Yes, that has never worked for me on those flash drives sadly. I have done a full format on the larger flash, and now it says failed to load ldlinux.c32. I will try other flash drives to see if any boot. Have not had my server for a week now.

And as before, I am back to kernel panic, after a powerdown. I tried rufus again on the flash, and a fresh copy of unraid, following the same steps as above, on the same flash and it stops booting after the PCI devices lising. I also tried a differend flash, a 32 GB Kingston, and this also has had problems in booting, from FAILED TO LOAD LDLINUX.C32, to CHSBoot error. I tried to use two laptops, disabled AVAST shields, run Boot Disk Demo, HP USB DIsk, nothing worked. The own utility from unraid to format the flash never worked for me, with the message "the proceduer entry point SystemParametersInfoForDPI could not be located in the dynamic library. I also run these apps as administrator just in case. I am lost, don't know what else to do.

Yep, just done that, thanks Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Thanks JorgeB, I purchased a Kingston flash, so I can use it as main and use my current flash as backup. In 2006 I purchased the unraid license and I must have received two pro keys, for two different flash drives. I searched through my emails but I cannot actually find the keys, so my guess is that I must have had to download them from a web interface. I have one pro key in the flash that is currently in use. Any ideas on how I can get the other pro-key, as I have lost my second flash drive? I have the GUID, woudl that be enough to obtain the original pro key I received in 2006?

Thank you! That worked. Now why is the flash getting corrupted so often? It didn't use to happen to me before, what am I doing wrong? I will make sure that I take regular backups of the flash, ideally automate that with a script from my windows PC.

Just like Bilbo Baggins: "There and back again". These days I am actually scared of turning off my server, in case the flash drive gets corrupted and I am back to the kernel panic stage. I had some electricians doing some work so I turned off the server, but I forgot to copy the flash contents before I did it and low and behold, I am back to the same problem. So I did the usual, as I still have the same copy of config folder as before - used rufus to reformat the flash - loaded the plain unraid server files - added the backed up config files on top Server boots, we are good to go? No. I forgot I replaced a drive since the last backup of the config files. Drive 4 is missing (my old 2Tb drive) and my new 10Tb drive is showing in the dropdown). Once I select that, the systems indicate "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started". Obviously, I don't want to do that as I know that all the drives are fine and so is parity. How can I create a new configuration manually, I have the list of the drives from my daily email alerts I set up? I don't want to start with a blank server installation as I have an emby docker, and don't want to lose the library and have to start that part from scratch. THank you all for your help!

Some emby users suggested to lock down the firewall to only accept tcp/443 connections from the Cloudflare ip ranges and also use the fail2ban cloudflare integration with monitoring of the emby logs to ban anyone who tries to brute force a login. I have also hidden all accounts from the login screen. More info in the thread attached. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/69779-remote-security-i-just-dont-get-it/

The only way to reach content remotely on my server is via the emby docker. I set it up using cloudflare as a go to as in the guide below https://blog.awelswynol.co.uk/2018-01-setting-up-cloudflare-with-emby/ Is this a good setup security wise? I have a password for my emby admin login, will update it to make it stronger as well.

Rufus needs to be set to FAT not FAT 32 to work. Loading a plain version of the server boots fine. Copying over the config files I backed up today after the key failed brings on kernel panic. So I tried the copy of the config folder I saved last August. Bingo, back online. Question: is it normal for flashes to corrupt so often? 6 months is not really a long time... Second question: is there a way to automatically back up the key weekly to another PC on the network?

So used Rufus again, and it won't work. Copied over the new server files and even a backup of the key from six months ago, won't start. Error message falied to load ldlidux.c32

Actually it seems to work if I try to copy a subfolder at a time. If the subfolder has a subfolder it won't copy across

Plugged the drive in a windows machine: "you need to format the drive in disk K: before you can use it". Options Format Disk and Cancel. If I click on Cancel, I can browse the flash drive, but I cannot copy any files off it.

Again Kernel panic upon reboot. On the flash I built last time. Also received the followin message last week Event: USB flash drive failure Subject: Alert [TOWER] - USB drive is not read-write Description: UDisk (sda) Importance: alert Back to square 1
