Check your bios. It sounds like your machine is trying to boot from the HD rather than USB.

Settings>Display Settings>Number Scaling. I believe the default is automatic but if you change it to KB the numbers will be much more accurate.

If you decide you want to do this, iMore has a pretty good step-by-step. https://www.imore.com/how-move-your-itunes-library-external-hard-drive

Yes. The only way you would be able to access files on your unRAID server would be if it was started. If you want to access files away from your local network you would also need VPN access or similar.

I’ve never tried this, so no guarantees, but you should be able to create an iTunes share on your server and just copy your iTunes library to it. When you point the iTunes app to that share it shouldn’t care where it is hosted at as long as it is mounted on the mac with the app. Just copy everything first to test though. You’ll also need to be sure the share is always mounted to. Add it to your login items or use an app like AutoMounter. I like AutoMounter better since it will always remount the share whenever it is available rather than just at login.

If you create a share for this on the array you can have both drives assigned and they will be the only ones that spin up (plus parity if you have it installed).

I started receiving error message emails a few weeks ago regarding the original script- error: rsyslog_extra:1 duplicate log entry for /mnt/user/syslog/syslog-10.0.1.1.log error: found error in file rsyslog_extra, skipping Since the error is rather vague it took me a while to determine the cause. More info here. It looks like it was being caused by the fact that I had enabled Syslog Server in 6.7.2 and still had this script enabled. Both were attempting to run the same task. After disabling the original script and rebooting the server the errors have stopped, so I think the issue has been solved. Is there anything else I need to do to fix this?

It looks like this must have been the problem. After disabling this script in the user scripts plugin and rebooting the server I am no longer receiving the error emails.

@bonienl Is it possible that this script you provided is conflicting somehow with my syslog server setup and causing the error I posted in the first post? I created a new share (mnt/user/syslog) for storage of logs for machines using the server and this script seems to be accessing the same share and trying to do the same functions as the system log server (IF I understand it correctly).

I found rsyslog_extra finally. It's at /boot/custom/. /mnt/user/syslog/*.log { su nobody users create 0666 nobody users rotate 5 weekly sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2>/dev/null || true endscript } Not sure why this is generating an error though or why it would send an email to [email protected]?

If you point your containers to /mnt/cache/appdata they will only see what is contained in /mnt/cache/appdata. As soon as mover runs you’ll lose your appdata.

If you set an appdata path of /mnt/cache and then move appdata to the array your appdata won’t be at /mnt/cache anymore and the dockers won’t be able to connect to it.

The email refers to an error in rsyslog_extra, but I can’t find this file at all on my system. From googling it appears that it should be in /etc/rsyslog.d/ but the only thing I see there is a blocklist.

Yes. It was working fine until I shut it down for an extended period to run unRAID tunables. After re-enabling I started getting these errors. Tried rebooting but that didn’t make any difference.

I deleted syslog-10.0.1.1.log along with all the tailed versions (log.1, log.2, etc) and this stopped the error messages for a while but they are back today. It looks like this error is occurring when the system tries to tail the log since entries are still being written to the original log and no previous logs have been created. brunnhilde-diagnostics-20190819-1233.zipbrunnhilde-diagnostics-20190819-1233.zip

Can't do any harm I guess. I'll give it a shot later this week when I can take the server offline.

IF I understand the controller benchmark report correctly it's showing that the controller is installed in an x8 slot right? I could switch slots later this week if there would be some necessity for it.

This one also has a wave form. Looks like the same model. Edit: Not the same but similar.

I think you mean this one- I also uploaded the drive benchmarks to your db.

I'm sure at some point I'll be upgrading all the 4TB drives to 8TB, but at $250US+ each, that probably will only happen as the old drives fail. Was hoping to be able to improve parity check speeds by reconfiguring the system since it seems that my speeds are abnormally low.

Sorry. Realized I had run the wrong benchmark tests. Controller benchmarking shows a variation of 3.3% on the onboard controller (Your controller is not bottlenecking) and a variation of 0.0% on the dell H310 controller (Your controller is not bottlenecking). Not sure what the next step would be to resolve the speed issues?

@jbartlett I installed this docker as you suggested in the UTT thread. No idea how to interpret the results though. sdf is an external drive connected via esata if that matters.

Correction- There are 5 drives connected to the motherboard (including the esata) and 7 connected to the H310.

IIRC, there are 8 drives connected to the H310 which is mounted in the first x8 slot and 4 connected to the motherboard. This does not include cache which is an M.2 SSD mounted in the middle x8 slot. It does include 1 external drive mounted via UD and an estata cable.
