  1. This still freezes on me mid conversion. It never used to do this and always worked perfectly. Is there a way to check the logs to see what the problem is? It starts to rip then just freezes. I try to close the window, then reconnect and it times out.
  2. I do not have any optical drive. I simply have my array of HDDs and an SSD for a cache drive. So you're saying just blank out this line? Why would this docker assume I have some sort of optical drive when I have never had one? Just because I'm curious in future docker installations. EDIT: It worked after blanking out the additional parameters line. I'm just curious why it filled this out like that to begin with when I have no optical drive. Is it just the nature of MakeMKV that many people would use this with the actual disk instead of an ISO of BDMV index file? Or should I always check that when installing a docker? Also, where is my "device list" you mentioned?
  3. where do I change that? I don't see it in any of the configuration settings for the docker? Or rather I see it in advanced view, but shouldn't it auto detect my cache drive? Where do I find where it has now been assigned?
  4. I am having a problem installing this docker. I had it working fine until several days ago, then it started acting funny. It would freeze mid conversion, sometimes it would fail to start when I hit "OK" in the initial guacamole window. Not after removing the docker and image, deleting the directory within appdata I get this: root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="MakeMKV-RDP" --net="bridge" --privileged="true" -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "WIDTH"="1280" -e "HEIGHT"="720" -p 3389:3389/tcp -p 8080:8080/tcp -v "/mnt/cache/appdata/makemkv/output":"/unRaid":rw -v "/mnt/cache/appdata/Makemkv":"/config":rw --device=/dev/sr0:/dev/sr0 tobbenb/makemkv-rdp c6179c985cee8d1f499b2ad94da9812a6a8b0470b4f97e130e061b930b630401 docker: Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/sr0": lstat /dev/sr0: no such file or directory. The command failed. Any help would he greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
  5. Thanks so much for all of the quick responses and great information. I think I understand the process much better now. As I said I will report back and let you know how it went.
  6. It was reviewed well on ebay by another unRAID user so I hope so too. So, run 5ITP20.bat, get SAS address from flashlog.txt, no reboot necessary, run 6.bat replacing SAS address and I should be good? You've really helped me quite a bit I just don't wanna mess this card up. Thanks so much again.
  7. Got it, I'll report back when I get the card. It's being sent via e-package from China so I imagine it'll take it some time to get here. I've flashed cards before, I'm just not very familiar with the terminology although I can follow instructions in a readme. The enclosed screenshot is the one I want to be using correct? It just has the 5ITP20.BAT file, which says nothing about rebooting or where to retrieve the information from "step one". The readme is simply a list of what all the files in this directory are, and the above mentioned batch file simply says: @echo off cls echo . REM ======================================================== REM Start firmware and BIOS update echo . echo . Flashing LSI2911-8i IT-Firmware (P20.00.07.00) echo . echo . COMMANDLINE THAT WILL BE USED: echo . sas2flsh.exe -l Flashlog.txt -o -f 2118it.bin echo . echo . NOTE echo . If you want the BIOS to be flashed also, CTRL+C now and edit echo . the command by adding "-b MPTSAS2.ROM" echo . echo . (You don't want a BIOS if you intend to use the controller echo . in IT-mode as HBA! Boot time is speed up without BIOS) echo . echo . pause echo . echo . Proceeding to flash while logging to Flashlog.txt echo . in the current directory. echo . echo . sas2flsh.exe -l Flashlog.txt -o -f 2118it.bin echo . echo . echo . pause cls echo . echo . echo . Almost finished! echo . Last step, execute 6.bat to reprogram the SAS address that echo . was collected in step 1. Ensure that your 6.bat contains a echo . valid SAS address - preferrably the one that is in you log from step 1. echo . echo . echo . pause Although there is no "step 1" mentioned anywhere. Will the SAS address just be written to a file called flashlog.txt? Thanks again, sorry if these are stupid questions. The other firmware readme's have Steps 1-6 instructions and 1-6.bat, where this only has the 5ITP20.bat and 6.bat. Am I correct in assuming that the SAS address to program in 6.bat will be in flashlog.txt and I do not need to reboot between these steps? So just run 5ITP20.BAT, get the SAS address from flashlog.txt, edit 6.bat to the correct SAS address and run 6.bat? That's it correct?
  8. You had mentioned "check here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg339192#msg339192 and http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg399690#msg399690" but that was way back. I think I'll try the P11 1st. Thanks very much!
  9. So basically you're saying I'd me much better off to use this newer firmware and toolset you've linked? I'm all for that if it's newer and better. But you're saying the way in your readme there, the reboot is necessary. Also, can I use FreeDOS with this firmware or should I use the included HP disk tool? Also, the "issues" you mention with some users having their parity drives messing up and some drives not spinning down have been eliminated with your newest post http://www3.zippyshare.com/v/xZKIOHaz/file.html correct?
  10. Also, for anyone else doing this flash for this card, after reading the instructions in the readme, there is a rather odd step which I believe can be avoided. The instructions say to boot from USB (I use a FreeDOS boot disk created using Rufus, not the HP boot utility described in the how to) and run a file called 1.bat which dumps information about the controller to a file called ADAPTERS.TXT. Later in the readme / how-to it says to power down the computer, take the usb out and put it into another computer to obtain the files contents. This is not necessary. In FreeDOS you can simply use the "more" command. You don't need to powerdown your computer or use a 2nd computer. You can simply type more ADAPTERS.TXT and it will output the SAS address needed for the final step.
  11. So this one would work http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/142008252948?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true by flashing it with this firmware : http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg121131#msg121131 Also, what is the difference between the P10 and P11 ZIP files that contain the firmware and utilities for flashing (I assume)?? thanks very much, I just don't want to purchase the incorrect card
  12. I have also seen random spinups with docker applications that don't seem like they should be spinning an HDD in the array until the mover runs. I possibly don't quite understand how cache-dirs works entirely, but I thought the point was to keep directories in memory and that HDD's wouldn't spin up until the mover runs. So following the advice on this thread I should place my mount points for things like sonarr and couchpotato to /mnt/cache/media/movies or /mnt/cache/media/tv/ would solve these HDD spinups at download?
  13. Expanding my current system and I was looking for recommendations as to the best 8 port SATA PCI card. I'm not opposed to flashing or anything, just looking to see which option from the "Recommended Hardware" that people are using that's best and most economical. Thanks in advance.
  14. Seems completely fine so far installing this over top of needo's. All my settings and movies seem to be there, simply needed to change the /config folder in advanced settings to match my old one, which was /mnt/cache/appdata/couhpotato.
  15. Can this be installed on top of Needo's docker? I currently have his, but you guys do such a good job with these dockers I'd like to switch, I just don't want to lose all of my settings etc. Thanks for any help in advance :-)
  16. I use mythtv as a KVM and there is a channel I have added in plex that allows "almost" live streaming. It allows you to watch anything recorded. So long as you start a recording you can begin streaming it right away so you're only maybe a minute or two behind real time. This is the one limitation with Plex's DVR that I'm sure they'll eventually get to work, but was a "dealbreaker" for me. The only other limitation of the built in Plex DVR is that it only works with one device (2 or 3 tuners) while Myth can tune as many as you have I believe. It's still pretty rough around the edges but works for the most part. This is with 2x HDHomerun Prime's and Cablecards. I've used it in a pinch to watch an NFL game remotely and it was perfect, but I had to VPN into my home LAN, and use Myth's webUI to start the recording first. I don't know of a way to get a guide or start or stop a tuner through plex, yet. It's also free, and doesn't require either plexpass or a 30$ kickstarter contribution. Here is a link to the plugin if anyone is interested. I can confirm this works with both windows and the android app. https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/86644/rel-mythtv-plug-in/p18
  17. OK that makes more sense. Well then what I believe is happening is that FISH stores this file temporarily in either of the aforementioned directories, which are actually in RAM. So if the file you're trying to copy is larger than your free space available in RAM (my flash drive is 8GB and I have 8GB of RAM in this particular server so this is probably why I confused the two) you get an error in MC. This script places the file temporarily on the cache drive instead of in memory or the flash drive allowing for copying of larger files via MC to a remote server. I'm quite sure this use case is for a very small number of users. I just thought since I had given it to another geek again I'd post it on here just in case anyone else ran into the same thing.
  18. We are in the process of changing dedi providers atm. but I can replicate it in a few days. This was very old, and I had just given it to another geek user and thought I'd post it here. I believe mc by default uses FISH for this process, the transfer to a remote server, and from what I recall it's either /home/user/.config/mc or /etc/mc. It took me a while to get the correct flag there to make the temp dir different for just FISH, but it was simply for those remote transfers that used FISH that I noticed the issue. So like I said, I rarely have to even use this for anything but these remote copies. When we get our new dedi up and running I'll confirm this for you. We also only use cert based, as well as login/pw auth for connection to our remote servers. So tbh I'm not sure if that would be a factor and it uses a different protocol for remote file transfer, but I thought I'd mention it.
  19. Unless there is someone with a better solution (which I'm sure there is) I have this small script I've made for use with midnight commander. When you use MC to open a remote SSH directory to a remote server, and try to do large file copies, the space that gets used as temporary space for this copy resides on the thumb drive. So if you're trying to copy a file larger than your available space on your thumb drive to a remote server via an SSH connection, the command fails. Also, I feel like the less reading and writing to the thumb drive the better as it would prolong it's life I suppose. I'm not sure if unRAID MC does this for local to local copies, but for anyone who uses it to transfer files to a remote SSH directory I've made this simple script. It does require the unRAID Nerdtools plugin (with screen turned on of course), and a directory on the cache drive named /mnt/cache/mctmp which should be chmodded to 777. When this command is invoked it will either create a new screen session with the temp file copying directory at /mnt/cache/mctmp, or if a screen session is already running it will drop you back into it. The file itself should be named startmc.sh, chmodded +x, and put on your flash drive somewhere like /boot/config/startmc.sh. You would also need to add the following line to your go script cp /boot/config/startmc.sh /usr/bin Here is the code for the actual file itself. You would first type nano /boot/config/startmc.sh and insert the below text inside of it #!/bin/bash if ! screen -ls | grep -q "mc"; then /usr/bin/screen -mS mc /usr/bin/env TMPDIR=/mnt/cache/appdata/mctmp mc else /usr/bin/screen -r mc fi I'm aware there are Nautilus GUIs and any number of other solutions, I just have always been used to, and liked using midnite commander as I can use it from any device with no issues at all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  20. FINALLY got it to work with this fstab line: //192.168.1.6/mythtv /mnt cifs rw,username-nobody,dir_mode=-777,file_mode=0777 0 0 Geeeez is ubuntu picky about these fstab entries! Well, if you're using the unassigned devices plugin to share a drive, and have no security on it, this is the correct line to auto mount it.
  21. I run a Mythbuntu 14.04 KVM on unRAID, and as described in this thread: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=44203.msg422072#msg422072 the only way I was able to mount an unRAID share with r/w privileges was through using a very odd method (a 9p filesystem?) in /etc/fstab that I've never seen before. Since upgrading to 6.2 and quite a few things changing in VMs, this no longer works. I have a drive outside of the array, managed by the unassigned devices plugin. The unraid share that I need to mount is at //192.168.1.6/mythtv and when I access the GUI of the VM (which also seems much more buggy and not working correctly with 6.2, parts of the display vanish or don't update until a cursor moves over them, laggy, etc) and the place which I am trying to mount the shares within the VM is simply at /mnt. No combination of things in fstab will allow me to properly mount this share correctly with read write. Can someone tell me with how the VM works now, the correct /etc/fstab entry for ubuntu 14.04 to mount an unraid share via fstab or even via rc.local? Within the Mythbuntu KVM, I can access the GUI, and browse to the samba share, which shows in the address bar in Thunbar as //tower.local/mythtv. As far as I can tell, there are no permissions that should be necessary to write for any user. Anyone that can be of help is greatly appreciated. EDIT: manually the command: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.6/mythtv /mnt -o username=nobody,rw,uid=1000 seems to work, but only read only, so I suppose I could just add this to rc.local but I know fstab is the more "correct" way to do this. No matter what I do though, I cannot get it to work. Again, any help is greatly appreciated. EDIT: Using the vmvga video VNC setting provided much better results. I am able to use XWindows without issues, whereas the recommended one did not work very well

  23. Recently I have noticed my server kicking a drive out of the array. After a reboot (or sometimes 2) the array appears fine. I've checked all of my connections and even replaced the SATA cable just to eliminate that.

  24. I am posting this for a friend of mine, who is having an issue where SAB running in a docker on his cache drive is reporting a very small available space. The 1st thing I thought to do was make sure of course his containers paths were correct, and that I could see that amount of available space in /mnt/cache and the unRAID webUI and he does. These are two cache drive SSD's, one is 128GB, the other is 500GB. He does have close to 100GB on his cache drive, so I can't determine whether SAB is writing inside the container, or if his second drive wasn't formatted properly and the free space is being reported incorrectly somehow? His second cache drive does not show BTRFS next to it in the Cache Devices Tab. I've tried stopping the array and using the option to format the "Unmountable Disk" it shows, which doesn't seem to do anything. When I click the box to agree to do it, then click format, I just get the the option to format it again, it never shows as formatted. It just keeps giving me the option to format it over and over. I have tried restarting the array with it unassigned several and restarting, then formatting, yet the option still remains available. When the array is brought back online with this disk as a cache device, it shows a green ball but I am just trying to rule out possible causes of this error. Is it normal to not have btrfs as a file format next to all of the cache devices in a cache pool? In this older thread I see it shown: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=34391.0 Or should I be posting in the SAB docker container for why this container is writing inside of the image with proper mappping? Thanks very much in advance for any insight.
