Essentially what you're looking for is a recycle bin that empties automatically at the same time that the mover operates. This is an interesting idea.

The feature in reference here is cache dirs, not cache drives. Just an FYI that a cache drive will not improve the time it takes for directory listings to appear.

this is working as intended per crashplans instructions. if you want to use the UI without ssh you need to modifiy my.service.xml in your appdata\crashplan\conf change it from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 <serviceUIConfig> <serviceHost>127.0.0.1</serviceHost> <servicePort>4243</servicePort> <connectCheck>0</connectCheck> This is why I love this community and these forums. You guys continually assist me in my own education. I was just wondering the other day how to get around the ssh and putty requirement for managing this and your post here seems to be the ticket. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!!

Don't blame you for that at all. There is web virt manager for KVM that works very well, but does not directly within its GUI itself support things like host device pass through. That said, you can install virt manager on a Linux OS which is a full client program for managing libvirt and does have those capabilities...

I get same problem. How do we set up a config file? All I want to do is access another unRAID server and vice versa. Please, need more info, is it server or client? what UnRAID version? anyway, both the 2 plugins install on a fresh system perfect (Beta 10 on a VM) Syslog ? Thanks //Peter I've been running this in both beta 10 and 10a (client, not server) and it has consistently worked flawlessly for me. I actually haven't had to touch OpenVPN in over a year because its so rock solid. Peter is the man!!!

Are you hinting that we will be seeing this soon, or just trying to make us jealous? Working on it ;-)

Peter, You are awesome as normal. Looking forward to testing this out tonight with beta 10!!

I'd also avoid Xen and skip yo KVM for pass through stuff.

OK this one is really stumping me... Now I know that this worked on your previous board, but can you plug the stick into your pc and run make_bootable.bat again and if on windows, make sure to run it as an administrator? Just want to sanity check this. Also, do other USB boot devices work?

Awesome. On a plane back to Chicago today, so might not see your pics till the weekend.

I'm not doubting the viability of the flash drive, just the bios may be different in how to properly get it to boot. I know this is somewhat confusing which is why I initially didn't try to explain. Pics of bios will make this easier to diagnose.

Mainly your boot priority and what in particular I'm wondering is if your BIOS identifies the flash device twice (once "vanilla" and the other as a UEFI boot device). I haven't been able to get unRAID to boot off USB if I specify the entry with the UEFI option.

Can you take a pic or a few of your BIOS page and upload here for us to see? I want to see how it shows the flash device in the BIOS.

So is this like file by file time capsule service for Windows?

Will be in talks with peter on this. I think we would like to incorporate both server and client plugins in unRAID 6.

Chuck, This is just about the coolest idea I've seen in a long time. What a creative way to hide your storage. I am beyond impressed. This needs to be featured in a blog post on our website. Would you mind if I linked these photos? Do you have any more to share? This is amazing!!

Thanks for your response! If in fact this goes down in the prioritizing process, it would really be great if you could, in the interim, provide some generic hook inside the md-then-mount process of the unRAID array start (and stop), so that a user can insert their own DM layer and probably mounting before unRAID does the standard share / user share setup. (e.g.: Do the unRAID md - then call a script, which by default just copies its input to output, passing it the md block device (/dev/md*) - then mount the block device the script returns unless already mounted - something to that effect. Similarly for array stop). This should be fairly straightforwrd to implement, and will enable the addition of an encryption layer, and perhaps other DM type ideas as well, by the user. No GUI support for now; no problem. Thoughts? This would require Tom's input / feedback.

The other forum post you reference is definitely where this came from and yes, it means it's not scheduled for 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 yet. Doesn't mean it won't get added, it just means we have yet to figure out where it fits in its prioritization.

Note: Tom prioritized this for us to accomplish for you in 6.0. I also modified the subject line to help clarify what this post is about for those not familiar with the compliance section ;-)

Thank you for sharing this and we will look to address this as soon as possible.

This is a great concept and one that we have discussed internally. It's a bit tricky but possible. Definitely not something for the short term...

Tom M's idea. Not sure when this will be added, but we want this to happen...

I think this should be considered for prioritization for 6.0's release. In all my testing with 6.0 without this feature, it's very annoying to not have it especially in larger arrays where data is spread across a variety of drives. Not sure how much effort it would take to make this happen but I would like us to consider it...

Probably goes hand in hand with the cache / user data co-mingling capability feature and linux disk quota capabilities, but definitely something we want to have planned for sometime in the future, even if it's a new product offering.

Sounds like more network configuration options. TBD.
