  1. damn it.  I thought it was removed from every line!

     

    Changed, thank you.

     

    decided the pro's of echoing this out (for debugging for user) is not worth the risk, i will be obfuscating this from now on for all users, including the username.

    Can you parse for authentication errors and echo only if error occurs?
  2. I'm having a lost connection issue when removing torrents that are complete manually -- If I choose a multiple complete torrents and then remove torrent I lose connection to the docker.

     

    Is there some setting that I should be changing to prevent this from happening?

    I suspect it's a threading issue, I've seen similar behaviour when manipulating multiple items. Does the connection restore itself after waiting a bit?
  3. I have one more little issue: some files are downloading even though I mark them "Do not download".

    Torrent files are not very granular, oftentimes it's necessary to download a portion or all of a file you don't want in order to get the remaining piece for the file that you do. The size of the chunks is up to the person authoring the original torrent file, following general best practices and site guidelines.
  4. the Speedtest on the PIA website give me only about 350Mbps download on the Us-East, I wonder when using the torrent in the rTorrentVPN if I can reach that or it's a limit of the encryption at 23MB/sec (~184Mbps)...

    Keep in mind not all of the PIA nodes offer incoming, so if seeding is important, be sure you use a node that lets you be "connectable". nl definitely does, I don't know if any of the US do.
  5. I am no expert on Unriad, but linux has a config file that lets you choose a command to send if the power-button is pressed. So if you can find a way to start a VM from command line you can I theory  start a VM with the power-button.

    Unfortunately that is going to clash with the power down system of unraid. When unraid receives a power button signal, it starts the shutdown process. Remapping that to start a VM is probably not a good idea.
  6. I like that the remote brings the entire gui to the client. I was not able to find something like that for Deluge  (client needs to run on OSX)

    Well, unlike transmission, the deluge remote IS the full GUI. You just point it to either the local instance or the remote instance, whichever suits. There really isn't a separate deluge remote app. You install deluge on the local machine, and point it at the server.
  7. My preference is Transmission almost entirely because of Transmission remote.

    Just curious here.

     

    What do you like about the Transmission remote? A couple years ago I used to use Transmission with the remote, but when I switched to Deluge and its remote, I like the Deluge remote better. I have the Deluge remote on multiple machines, debian linux, mint, even W7 and W8.1, and they all connect seamlessly to 2 different Deluge instances running on unraid.

  8. ... only put a single key on the flash drive and you'll have no problems

     

    Agree ... as I noted above, this is absolutely the "...  SAFEST approach " to ensuring you never have any key transfer issues like jonathanm outlined earlier.

    New test for FCP maybe

    Hmm. Since if a flash drive dies, the only files that matter are the backups, could you strip all unmatched key files out of the CA backup but leave them on the physical flash? I don't know if it's even possible to tell which file is in use at a given time without access to Tom's proprietary code.

     

    If you could accomplish it, that would assure no collisions should it become necessary to use your backup to get a new key.

     

    For example, a Pro key tied to GUID 1234 5678 1357 1234AB5678CD would be named:

    Pro -1234 5678 1357 1234AB5678CD.key

     

    Obviously, to use that key, I just copy it to the appropriate fllash drive and rename it to Pro.key

    I don't think renaming it is necessary. Pretty sure the code checks all .key files.
  9. OK, I get it now. I thought Danconio and jonathanm were saying that a key file was blacklisted. They were talking about the flash GUID that went with a key, which effectively blacklists the key.

     

    So when he went to get a replacement for a new flash drive, it blacklisted the wrong flash based on just picking one of the keys it found on there.

     

    I never had to use the online registration and still have the emails for both of my keys so I am good as far as sorting this out on my systems.

     

    I do seem to recall some post or something saying we could put multiple keys on and it would check them all until it found the match. And I don't recall ever seeing anything that said we shouldn't do that now that we have online registration (which apparently includes online blacklisting).

    Yeah, two unrelated ease of use options which unfortunately can collide in a bad way. The ability to put all your key files together on each key came well before the online key replacement system IIRC.
  10. I didn't notice that I had both of my keys on the replacement USB drive when I requested a new key. After attempting to request a replacement key for the second drive I found that I have one usb drive with a valid key but blacklisted drive and one usb drive with a blacklisted key.

     

    For now I can run unraid on the flash drive with the blacklisted key but I would like to find out how to proceed to get a replacement key for the second new flash drive. Neither of my keys are now recognized as eligible to be replaced.

    It will check all keys until it finds the correct one so having multiple keys on the drive doesn't matter. I have both of my keys on both of my systems.

     

    How did you get these blacklisted drives and blacklisted keys? They were blacklisted for a reason. You will have to contact [email protected] to get them replaced. They usually respond pretty quickly.

    I predicted this would happen.

     

    Key 1 fails.

    Restore backup containing all owned keys to Key 3.

    Start server. Keys 1 and 2 are found, none match new USB GUID, so automatic replacement process is initiated.

    Automatic replacement process picks Key 2 GUID for some reason, so the new license is assigned to Key 3, blacklisting Key 2's GUID.

    End result, blacklisted GUID for still working Key 2, Key 1 has failed, and Key 3 has Key 2's license.

     

    Short term solution, purchase another USB stick, find the correct license file for Key 1, and make sure that's the only key on the stick when you do the automatic replacement.

     

    Long term solution, keep better track of which license file goes with which physical USB.

     

    I'm drawing a blank on an effective way of keeping this from happening with the current automatic replacement system, short of denying a replacement if there are multiple license files on the key.

  11. None of my private trackers are reporting I'm seeding/leeching.  I set the report ip to my actual IP (seeing how they don't allow VPN website access).  Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Not sure what you mean by not allowing VPN website access. Port forwarding is handled automatically if you are using PIA, and then only if you are using one of the gateways that has it enabled. If you are using another VPN provider, you will need to refer to their support to figure out if they even support incoming ports, many VPN providers don't.
  12. Wouldn't be better to modify permissions to read only instead of

     

    - Stop SMB (optional) *

    - Stop AFP (optional) *

    - Stop NFS (optional) *

     

    I don't know if a plugin has enough permissions to make such a change, though.

     

    EDIT:

     

    Forgot to say thank you :)

    Takes time.  But that actually have me a similar idea .

    How about...

    Stop SMB/AFP/NFS

    unmount drives

    remount readonly

    Start SMB/AFP/NFS

  13. <snip>

    10. Stop the array; we are now going to swap their assignments; when stopped, click on the dropdown for the new drive (e.g. Disk 11) and unassign it; it should notify you of 'Missing drive'

    11. Click on the dropdown for the other drive (e.g. Disk 10), the one being converted, and reassign it as the physical drive that was just added, the new drive that was empty; you will be notified of 'Wrong drive'

    12. Click on the dropdown for the slot of the new drive (e.g. Disk 11) and reassign it to the physical drive that was being converted (e.g. Disk 10); you will get more notifications of wrong or missing drives; you have just swapped the 2 drives, which is fine as they are identical (except for file system format)

    13. Important! Click on each drive name (e.g. Disk 10 and Disk 11) and change the format of the drive; if it's ReiserFS change it to XFS, if it's XFS change it to ReiserFS; it's important to swap the disk formats as well as the physical drive assignments

    14. You should see both drives listed with errors, possibly as unmountable, and a check box; click it and click the Start button to start the array; it should start up without issue and look almost identical to what it looked like before the swap, with no parity check needed; however the XFS disk is now online and its files are now being shared as they normally would; check it all if you are in doubt

     

    I'm on 6.2 and there doesn't appear to be a way to 'Start' the array with the swapped assignments. I'm getting...

    Too many wrong and/or missing disks!

     

    The 'Start' is grayed out and nothing to tick to continue.

     

    I'm presuming, it's not necessary to swap assignments, if I'm keeping track of the drives through the migration.

    WAG, but you can't swap assignments if you have both parity disks enabled and valid. Single parity - switching slots allowed, Dual parity - slots not movable without recalculating Q parity. It's not necessary to swap things around as long as you don't use disk specific locations, and even then it's fine as long as you change the assignments to track the new disk number.

     

    Thanks, but I'm only using single Parity. Also don't have User Shares.

     

    Unlike v6.1, v6.2 doesn't allow disk swapping even when using single parity, Tom already posted that this will be fixed on a future release.

    Must have missed that discussion.  :o

     

    So, for now if you want to move disk assignments, you will have to set a new config and carefully assign the drives where you want them. Just be ABSOLUTELY positive which drive is your parity drive. You can check the box to indicate parity is already valid, but I would do a parity check afterwards anyway.

     

    Unless you have a pressing need to keep each migration's disk assignments correct, I'd just wait til you are all done, then reassign all disks at once.

  15. Is there a way to add unrar/unzip functionality to dolphin? I tried installing "Extract and Compress by KDE4" extenstion from within the dolphin docker but nothing happened. Apologies if this has been asked/answered before but I couldn't find it.

    If you can't wait, the krusader docker supports it already.
