Make sure you backup the license key file in the config folder and copy it back so the USB drive stays licensed.

how often do you „stress“ your drive with parity procedure?

Most do parity checks once a month, but if all your drives are active most of the time and you have notifications working so you can act on any errors, you can extend that if you wish.

 

The biggest reason to do a parity check is to ensure all your drives are 100% healthy across the entire surface, which is what is required to do a recovery of 1 failed drive. Also, if you do ever see parity errors, it means that until parity is correct, a failed drive rebuild will not be fully accurate.

So you have a Synology NAS for long time storage
You have an UnRAID machine for the powerwork.

Yes, you can mount external shares using the Unassigned Devices plugin.

 

As you suspect, it will complicate matters, but it's doable. Biggest issue I see on the forums when someone is using remote storage is disconnects, it's imperative that the remote storage is always available whenever Unraid is started. You must have a rock solid network.

Why would changing the port to 1881 in the Port field of the Docker Setup up not change the port value from 1880 to 1881?

Because port mapping only applies to bridge mode, where the container shares the host's IP address. Other modes require port changes to be made in the application itself, there is no remapping because the container has total control over a unique IP instead of sharing the hosts IP.

thank you for the help. my biggest concern is transferring my appdata folder. is there a good way to go about doing that? 

One way is to use the dynamix file manager plugin, copy from the damaged pool to an array disk or another pool. Pick a destination that has plenty of free space.

I don't think it is because of doing the Maintenance and checking filesystem is it?

Yes, that's what fixed it. A corrupt filesystem will keep files from being read successfully.

[cache drive maxed out--some things have gone wonky]

Move requires a write to delete the source file, so no, you can't move things from a read only volume. What you can do is COPY what you need, then deal with the issue. Files with corruption detected won't be able to be copied, so work in small batches. If the file copies without error, it should be intact.

unbalanced has been going for 7 hours

Whatever you do, don't cancel the unbalanced run unless you are fine with it leaving the files behind on the source disk.

 

Personally I prefer to copy and compare, then delete when I'm sure the copy is accurate when I can, moving is too final for me.

[How to make backups from VMs easily and efficient ?]

Another option is to treat the VM's like bare metal machines and back them up using traditional methods. I use UrBackup, it does full image and file backup, keeps the backups up to date automatically with no user intervention needed.

 

I have successfully restored full machines from scratch as well as recovered just a few needed files. Much more granular and flexible than vdisk image backups.

The cache is set to be moved to the array..

That's not really a thing, each share has it's own settings that determine what the mover will or won't do.

 

Go to the shares tab, and look at the storage column for each share in question. Also click on "calculate", it will show you where the share exists currently.

And how do I find out if I am blacklisted?

And if I am and buy a licence can I then do the update straight away?

Contact support, they can look up the email address you used and see if you have a valid license. If not, yes, you can purchase a license and upgrade.

 

I suggest you look up Spaceinvader One on youtube, he has a load of very helpful videos to get you up to speed dealing with your system.

[Have Firefox Remember Important Settings]

I don't agree.

The built in browser is only updated when a new upgrade of Unraid is released, so the chances are good that a vulnerability may be exposed with no way to immediately mitigate it. Given that it's running on the base OS, if it's exploited your entire Unraid install is vulnerable.

 

The only reason the GUI browser was included at all was to give the local console the ability to manage Unraid. For general use, it's highly recommended to only use the built in browser to launch a VM or container that can be used as a daily driver. If the local GUI becomes unusable for any reason it would be very bad.

 

Consider what could happen if you accidentally open a page with an exploit that allows remote access, or starts ransomware. It would have access to your whole server.

 

Much safer to sandbox your activities with a container or VM.

[OS flash drive comprimised, need help with next steps]

If you have docker containers, the customized templates are stored on the flash drive, so those will need to be redone. Many times they will run with their last config, but they won't update or edit properly.

If it is, then it's specific to your setup, so very difficult for Unraid to fix.
