  1. Possibly the emulated chipset is different, and / or the virtio or other drivers are different.
  2. Only when they would want a data drive larger than 10TB. The parity drives in Unraid are totally independent, the only rule is that they must be equal or larger than any single data drive. How the OP explained the situation was Parity1 - 10TB Parity2 - 10TB Failed data - 8TB Replacing either P1 or P2 with the 14TB and using the 10TB as the replacement for the failed data drive is perfectly fine. P - 14TB P - 10TB D - 10TB
  3. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#upgrading-parity-disks
  4. Why? Is this not fully contained and self hosted?
  5. binhexe's FAQ, specifically Q24, details what is needed. Since you posted your PIA credentials openly you need to change them ASAP. Further discussion on this topic should be continued in the support thread for the container,
  6. If that enclosure does not have 1 SATA data cable per drive going to the motherboard or an SAS cable to a HBA, you are probably going to have continual problems using it. You didn't give us much to go on for troubleshooting, diagnostics would have been helpful, so these guesses are pretty much shots in the dark.
  7. Yes and no. My theory didn't work, if it did, the disk slot being rebuilt would be mounted already. Let the rebuild complete, and wait for @JorgeB
  8. Is there not a checkbox to allow you start? Post a full screenshot of the main page.
  9. You would backup inside the VM, then restore to a bare metal disk. If you want to be safe, remove all the disks that are assigned to the array or pools plus the Unraid USB stick, and restore. Then if something goes wrong you can just plug everything back in.
  10. Not that I'm aware of. My best idea would be to use backup software to make an image then restore it. Windows backup may work for you, acronis is another option.
  11. Maybe the expander remapped the partitions? @JorgeBmay have a better option, but I seem to remember the solution was to unassign one drive at a time, start the array, stop the array, reassign the drive, let it rebuild. Several hours for each drive. Whatever you do, don't remove more than one drive at a time. To test my solution, unassign one drive, start the array, and see if the emulated drive mounts properly.
  12. When you enabled the docker service, an empty image was created to hold the container executables. Kind of a preallocation.
  13. At this point you may as well format the drive and write your backup to it, run the make bootable, and see what happens. If it gives you errors while formatting or writing your backup to it, proceed with a new drive.
  14. Drives in the classic Unraid array can't be trimmed, so SSD's may see performance loss over time. If you assign a parity drive, writes to the array are speed limited by the parity drive.
  15. I'm unclear what you are asking. If a pool is a single disk it can be formatted XFS, multi drive pools can use either BTRFS or ZFS.
  16. Currently the Unraid "array" is the classic individually formatted data drives with one or two parity drives. Files are not striped across drives, so each drive has its own free space. Pools are single or groups of disks that can utilize BTRFS or ZFS RAID levels. You can have multiple pools, but are required to have 1 and only 1 "array". In a future Unraid release the classic "array" will become just another pool type. Until then, you must have at least a single drive occupying disk1 in the classic array. Also, the built in mover currently only moves files between the array and a designated pool, no pool to pool moves with the built in mover. All root folders and their contents on the array and all pools are combined into the "user shares".
  17. No, just disable the docker service and run the server normally to see if it still freezes. Does it freeze if that container is not running?

    Extra GPU

    Since they are almost 10 years old I doubt they would do much.
  19. Move the VPN duties to the router? I know what you are trying to do should be possible, but it seems to me that it would be better to put the VPN on the endpoints since you want LAN to LAN vs. device to device.
  20. Pretty sure you can, I can't think of any changes that would effect your ability to recover.
