Just wanted to let you know that I was able to get the Unfi Tower UPS NUT server working with this plugin. 1) The Unifi interface is confusing. 2) I had to do manual setup of the upsmon.conf file. MONITOR "Unifi_Id"@[Tower_IP_Addess]:[Tower_Port] 1 user userpass slave Example MONITOR [email protected]:3493 1 nutuser nutpass slave Additionally I had to uncheck the box labeled "login credential" in Unifi because even though it says non UI devices will need to log in with a credential, it seems like unchecking the box make it not require a password at all. Additionally I wasn't able to get it to accept my user / password even if I checked the box and set it in this plugin and the unfi the same, probly because of an issue with the upsd.users file on the tower. (Was not able to trouble shoot this further.) So the user ans userpass part of the monitor line might not be required... not sure. Anyway doing the manual setup + unchecking the box allowed me to get a connection with the remote Unifi Tower UPS established. Also I'm new to this plugin so I'm not sure how to configure the NUT plugin to shutdown the server when the UPS Tower signals a power loss or whatever... but hey step one solved right?

JorgeB got it... but if I never set a password before the upgrade how would I go about doing that now?

Did the upgrade, got to the new log-in screen and am stuck. I don't believe I ever put in a password for the root user. But when I try to submit root with the password blank I get an error saying "please fill out this field." I see the trouble shooting steps of pulling the USB deleting the password files etc... but won't that leave me where I am now, being unable to input a blank password?

I got this installed up and running tonight using my HDhomerun. It found my channels and figured out the muxes and all that, but I didn't get the EPG figured out. Also I wasn't sure how to change the recording directory, which I want to be a cache enabled share. I turned it off since I wasn't 100% up and running, (but very close.) Where do I change the record directory, and is there a good guide to figuring out the EPG with a HDHomerun (with OTA antenna)?

Hey! 4.0.9 is still the most recent stable version of tvheadend... I just recently moved back home so I have my server in operation again. I will most probably look into updating to 4.2 in the next days. I apologize, I didn't realize that 4.2 was not the most recent stable, tricked by their website. X_X

Stumbled across this... because I have an HDHomerun now... is this no longer supported or getting updates?

Now that I am on 6.2 and have my dual parity set up, I'm thinking about installing System Temp for the first time, it seems like it takes a bit more then just installing the plugin, is there a walkthouh or step by step guide on getting System Temp up and running?

Also all of your config for your shares (split levels, includes and excludes, etc) will be lost, the shares themselves will be automatically recreated with default settings. Obviously all the system settings you've changed like notifications and spin down delay / scheduler will need to be reset as well.

Well sorry to hear that. I edited my post. I'm not sure why I couldn't find the instructions on the wiki, maybe I was searching the wrong term.

1-4 are the same procedure. Here are the directions from the FAQ. There is a special case also if you want to replace a data drive with a drive larger then the current parity drive... Directions Here. 5-6 are the same procedure. Edit: This Link was not the best source of directions, see later in the thread to find a better set of directions. 7 and 8 really dependent on if you are using a cache pool or not, and how that cache pool is configured... this IMO is an area of weakness in the documentation right now. Curveball: No you don't lose the entire unRAID if a second disk becomes disabled during the rebuild. You could lose between 1 and 2 disks worth of data, depending on if one of the disks that fails is the parity disk. The nice thing about unRAID is you can never lose the entire array from one disk failing (even if others have already failed) at worst you only lose the failed disks.

I think most modern CyberPower UPS's also works with APCUPSD... oddly like Squid said APCUPSD doesn't have a great list of supported UPSs.

Are there any hard limits on the banner size, I've seen mostly the same width, but I've seen a few different heights.

Agreed. Just don't want people to think that if they didn't do a full backup or any backup of the flash drive that they would lose all there data.

trurl gave a bit more clarity, but I believe that even if you don't have the super.dat file unRAID will see them as properly formatted and let you add them without formatting them. A backup of your USB isn't really required (other then the key) to restore your array from a clean start. At least that's the impression I've been given, if this is wrong I'd really like to know because it would mean I need to change a few things.

Be careful about holding on to a super.dat file for too long, if you've changed your array or parity since you backed up that super.dat restoring it could result in data loss. This has mostly happened to people who moved a parity disk to the array after upgrading the parity disk. In this case it works fine because you aren't planning to make changes to your array just clean out the junk on your boot USB. Also not sure anyone has said this year, back up your Key file. you are going to need it to register your copy again.

I see there has been some discussion on this already... but given the changes in 6.2 that are coming down the pike, I think this plugin should entirely strip out the zeroing and post read verification steps (basically all of the clearing...) and not worry about having a completely clear disk when it's done it's stress testing. This should let you run more stress test cycles in a shorter time since you don't have that whole 100% write and 100% verification that take huge swaths of time.... Edit: Addition, currently if you want to run this 3 times on a disk it runs the clear and post read 3 whole times... it would be cool IMO if you could pick the number of times each test runs (with options) AKA, Badblocks 3 times, Pre-Smart 1, Post-Smart 1, etc... so you could mix and match instead of having to run though the whole script every single time... (if this was already an option... my bad... I really didn't know that)

these are good points, which is why I asked. I'm typically the kind of guy who many would call overly cautious... so this might be a good plugin anyway. Also good point about the SSH plugin.

Is this a plugin I need? I don't have the port for SSH forwarded outside my LAN, so like would DenyHosts really do anything for me? I'm asking because I really don't know if it's a good additional measure or a waste given my set up?

Is this still in Beta? Or has it been sufficiently tested to this point?

One thing to note is that I am reasonably sure that if you use the mv command then files and folders remain on the same disks they are currently located on (I think that under the covers mv will just do a rename). This will only be an issue if you thought they might be redistributed by such an action. ???HUH??? If the share I'm copying from is restricted to disks 4, 5, 6 and 7 and the share I'm copying to is restricted to drives 10, 11, 12 and 13 that would move the files from the first set of drives to the send ... right? It should, as far as I am aware... MV is move, but since the path is a different share it should actually change the file location not just path... right? You could do a copy and delete just to be safe. Or use Rsync. Wildcards should be ok, but I'm not sure why you need them when you can (Should?) be moving directories and all sub-directories.

As long as the shares don't have the same name (and you set the excludes and includes for your RFS vs XFS correctly) you should be ok. A user share say "TV-Shows" is simply an aggregation of all the "TV-Shows" directories on all of your disks including the cache. From a Linux prospective it's taking all the /mnt/disk1/TV-Shows (for each disk on which a TV-Shows directory exists and the cache drive) and creating a location /mnt/user/TV-Shows that is the sum of all the contents in the TV-Shows directory on each disk. Caution: NEVER MIX your user paths with disk paths when using commands that move, write, or sync data between two directories. This will result in data corruption. Note: When you start looking under /mnt/ you'll see Disk1-X, User, and User0. User0 is the same as User but excludes the cache drive. So to answer your actual question. Yes if the shares have different names you could do a command like mv /mnt/user/TVShows /mnt/user/TV-Shows

See this post by Squid. It might not be what is going on with you... but it can't hurt to look into it.

Is your CPU compatible with Blake2? I know someone else had a weird issue earlier when it wasn't.

I didn't test this, but I would assume if it works like the normal exclude it would prevent all writing and overwriting, but wouldn't prevent reading... likely for the same reason that excluding a disk doesn't prevent existing files / folders on that disk to show up in your user share... to avoid "losing" data that isn't lost. If it does prevent reading from that disk and removes it from the aggregation that could lead to some duplication issues (not really a issue as much as waste of space) and it would be good to know if that's the actual behavior because it is different then the lower level exclude include.

All that is good, but one additional reason is that rfs doesn't really support the Dynamix File Integrity plugin which many people are interested in running. (This is a design flaw in that plugin... but the fact remains that it's the way it is...)
