Hi @JorgeB, thanks for your help! That did the trick and all of my drives are back in operation 🙂

Thanks @JorgeB! The rebuild is still running but I'm guessing you are right and the unmountable drive won't be mountable. Here are the diagnostic files from my server. Please let me know if you spot anything or if there is anything else I should try. Thanks!! tower-diagnostics-20231209-0938.zip

Ok, I think things are okay....with a HUGE thanks to Unraid for the new Unraid connect service 🙂 If you have been saving Flash Drive backups In Unraid Connect, this is where you download the most recent backup: It makes sense, but it might be easier if it said something like download/generate backup. Or maybe it was just because I was in a panic. Once the backup was downloaded, I copied it over the new Flash Drive that I was going to use. Next, I booted my Unraid server using the new flash drive. I then signed into Unraid connect and it gave me this option: Long story short, I am SO glad that Unraid Connect is an option and that I had set up my server to use it. Two of the drives were unmountable, but they are now being rebuilt. My hope is I don't lose any data, but I'll know more in the morning. Thanks to everyone!

Please help. I had to replace the power supply in my Unraid server. When I did that, I accidentally put the PC case on its back, which bent/broke the USB flash drive that was plugged into the back of the motherboard. I tried to boot off of the broken drive but the computer does not recognize it being plugged in. I downloaded the USB Flash Creator and created a new flash drive using Unraid 6.12.5 (the version I was running on my server). It installed okay, but I can't find any way to restore my Flash Drive backup from Unraid Connect. I do have local backups of the Flash Drive but they are stored on the Unraid array (I realize now that was a bad idea). I have 10 data drives and 2 parity drives in this system, as well as 3 SSDs that I use for the cache drive and as unassigned devices. The array was encrypted with a password/key. I apologize but I’m really freaking out about what to do to fix this. I have been using Unraid since 2014 and this is the first time I’ve been scared that I will lose all my data and my configuration. Is there any hope? Can someone at Unraid send me a copy of the Flash Drive backup from Unraid Connect? Or a Pro.key file for a new flash drive? Or what should I do?? Thank you for any help that you may be able to offer. Scott

Hello, I have a hopefully simple question. How do I set Plex to use the plexpass version (1.28.2.6106-44a5bbd28) instead of the public version (1.28.1.6104-788f82488)? I have the PLEX_CLAIM parameter set to my plex claim (claim-y4Z_--------------SN) and the version set to latest (I also tried beta and plexpass but nothing seemed to change). Plex will show the encoding with an (HW), but nothing will actually play so I am guessing that I need the updated version. Thanks in advance!

What would you move them to? I used Emby for a while but it never really clicked. Are there any other options it there?

I'm sorry. I have read every single post in this forum and I was (and I still am) confused. Honestly, this is technology that I'm not very familiar with, and I haven't worked with very often. I hoped my post would be a good way to make sure I was on the right track. At the same time, I apologize, since it appears my post has annoyed you. Thanks! Scott

Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of changing my UnRaid server, and I went with the I7-12700. In my old system I had a cheap NVidia card that seemed to work for some transcoding, but until now I've mostly only downloaded 720p shows. That's mostly because I share Plex (with just one other person), and that was easier to transcode 🙂 I need help to understand exactly what people are doing: Can Plex, running on UnRaid 6.10.3, use the iGPU on the 12th gen chips at all? I saw something about only when using HDR, but I have no idea if that's correct, or how to enable/disable HDR. Are the 11th gen chips in the same boat? Is this problem only with 4K shows? I'm messing around with those now, but I'm not sure if this problem affects every video format or just some. Is anyone is using the iGPU on a 12th gen chip at all, is it documented anywhere how they were able to do that? I've read there are kernel changes that will fix this (?), but I'm still not sure if that is an UnRaid change or a Plex change? Sorry, I am just completely lost. Thanks for your help! Scott

Thanks Johnnie! I had tried to figure out what the naming for the rc releases is on the aws page, but I couldn't get it figured out. This is exactly what I need. 🙂

I was on Unraid 6.8 when I noticed that Acronis True Image started having problems creating/validating backups that were saved on my Unraid array. I'm not sure when the problems began, but I went back to 6.7.2 and everything is fine. I'd like to download and install the RC versions to see if I can figure out where the problem began to hopefully narrow down why it's happening. Is there a way to download the release candidate versions after the next rc or stable version is released? Thanks! Scott

I was also having problems getting openvpn-as back up and going. Tonight I made sure everything was completely deleted and the I download the linuxserver version using the Apps tab. This way it wouldn't be using any of the settings that I might have in my personal dockers (I don't know if this part really mattered though). After I first ran the docker I saw these errors in my log file: ... But after that the web UI was working again. I stopped and started the docker and everything seemed to come back fixed: The last part I had difficulty with was figuring out where I could download the connection profile. I finally found that if I changed "https://###.###.###.###:943/admin/" to be "https://###.###.###.###:943/?src=connect", I was able to download what I needed. I'm sure there is an easier way but this did seem to work. Everything seems to be back in order! Sorry for such a long post, but I thought it might be helpful to see what I saw.

Johnnie, thank you for posting this! My situation is a bit different as I'm running Unraid under ESXi, which isn't supported, but has done exactly what I need it to do for years. In my case, everything works perfectly using ESXi 6.0 and ESXi 6.5 but as soon as I tried upgrading to ESXi 6.7 I kept getting the "VFS: cannot open root devise "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6" message. I tried everything I could think of and had basically decided that ESXi 6.5 was the highest I could use while keeping Unraid. I added the " root=sda" on each of the append initrd lines, rebooted the VM, and it booted up perfectly. Honestly, I have no idea what this does or why it would make any difference at all, but it fixed booting an Unraid 6.6.6 VM in ESXi 6.7 Thanks!

Thanks! This solved my problems. I left the INTERFACE variable alone (it was set to eth0 anyway) and changed the network type from Host to Bridge , saved the changes and openvpn-as started working perfectly again 🙂

Hi Saarg, I was wondering if you had a chance to work on this template? The ddclient docker I have been using didn't update after an IP change last week so I was looking for a newer version. This seems like the newest version and if you have (or can make) a template to pull it from the linuxserver site that would be awesome! Thanks for any help you might offer! Scott

Thanks, Jonathan, that is kind of what I figured. 🙂 I did figure out a few things, and while this is definitely an ESXi issue, I'm going to add them here in case it might help anyone else (and in case I need to remember what I found). First, I am using ESXi 6.0 and I don't know if any of the below applies to any other versions. For 6.0, the "ESXi600-201808001.zip" patch fixes the issue I reported above where the Unraid booting process stops on Booting SMP Configuration. This means that anyone experiencing this issue should be able to fix it by updating to the 201808001 patch or newer. In my case, I had one other problem in that I am using 2x Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 SAS SATA cards (Marvell 88se9485) and need to pass them through ESXi to Unraid. This works until the "ESXi600-201711001.zip" patch, which broke something. So far I haven't been able to get the cards to work with the 201711001 patch or newer. What I ended up doing was the run the following in an SSH connection to ESXi: esxcli software vib install -d "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Patches/update-from-esxi6.0-6.0_update03.zip" esxcli software vib install -d "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Patches/ESXi600-201710001.zip" esxcli software vib update -d "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Patches/ESXi600-201808001.zip" --vibname cpu-microcode Step 1 updates ESXi to the most recent EXSi update. The path is where I saved the zip files, your location may differ. Step 2 installs the latest patches that will work with my SAS SATA cards. Step 3 installs just the vib that is needed to allow Unraid to boot in multi-processor mode. Honestly, I don't know for sure that this set up won't cause any problems down the line but so far I have tested with Unraid, WIndows, OSX and Linux VM's in ESXi and everything seems to be working perfectly.

I used the Advanced Buttons, update all dockers option after following Squid's instructions and everything worked perfectly! It still shows up as a problem with fix common problems but I'll just ignore the error. Thank you so much for your help! It's great to have Advanced Buttons back!

Wow, Squid, this is great, thank you!! I installed this and set up the script but I don't currently have any dockers to update so I can't test it. I have the appdata backing up weekly so even if I do lose it, it's not a big deal. I will post an update as soon as I am able to test this. Thanks for all your help! Scott

I hadn't thought about that, thank you! To be honest one problem is I really don't like things updating all by themselves. I prefer to know when something is updated so if there are problems I'll have any idea if anything changed recently. I'm going to look at this and give it some thought, but I would still prefer that all updates require some human intervention...

Right after I installed 6.4.1 the "Fix Common Problems" plug-in sent me the following message: **** advanced.buttons.plg Not Compatible with unRaid version 6.4.1 **** I removed the plug-in but when I was updating the dockers one-by-one today, realized just how handy the Advanced Buttons plug-in is! It doesn't appear that the Advanced Buttons plug-in is still in the Apps tab so I couldn't re-install it there. My searching for it led me to this forum but based on zin105's comments I will not re-install it right now. I hope to see this plug-in updated and back soon!

Nevermind. I rebooted the unraid machine and like magic the default image size prompt appeared....strange... :-)

I am trying to increase my docker default image size and for some reason, I just can't seem to get it to work. Whenever I delete the docker.img file and then re-create it, the new file is always set to 15 GB. I need to increase that to 25 GB. Also, when Docker is disabled this error message is in the Docker version section: Warning: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to unix:///var/run/docker.sock (No such file or directory) in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 673 Couldn't create socket: [2] No such file or directory Warning: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to unix:///var/run/docker.sock (No such file or directory) in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 673 Couldn't create socket: [2] No such file or directory Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 728 I'm attaching screenshots of the docker tab, in enabled and disabled mode in both the basic and advanced display. I have tried this in Chrome, Firefox and IE and they all (didn't) work the same way. Please let me know if you can spot anything that I'm missing or if there is an alternate way to increase the docker image. file Thanks in advance for your help! Scott

I don't use Linux very often so when I do there is always a learning curve. After a while I love it but then I don't use it for a while and have to start all over again the next time. :-) I got the scheduling process all up and going (it was cron only) along with the email notifications. So far, so good! I personally would like the script to change the state from your phone location added but you know much better what you're looking at. If you think it's a security risk, I would rather not have it. Thanks again!
