I'm currently sitting at 13 4TB drives in my array and I'm just about out of space. There is no way in hell I'm buying Seagate SMR (or any Seagate drive for that matter) drives, so really, my only option is to start replacing drives with HGST 8TB Helium drives (at $0.068/GB) or build a second server with 6TB HGSTs. I'm still trying to decide which way to go. I really do not feel comfortable going past 12-13 data drives (I do have room for one more data drive if I forget about ever implementing dual-parity). Nor do I want a 24-bay 4U case that I cannot lift by myself. SuperMicro does make a 16-bay 3U case I'm looking at, but that does only buy me one more drive bay. But two more 4TB drive would get me through another year or so where I would then need to start upgrading drives, and hopefully prices will have dropped by then. Have you seen the links above to the Lian Li...? Also, The DS6 has capacity for about 17 drives using a hot-swap cage on the 5.25 drive bays.

Thank you guys... I really appreciate all the advice. The Lian Li is enourmos and $$ and I cannot see needing to grow my array to 20 drives anytime soon. I would still need to spend another $120 on the Noctua fans. The DS6 is a nice alternative, and if possible, I could add another internal fan for the inner drive cage. The DS5 is like$100 cheaper... Have to give that some thought. I will report back and update when I take the plunge. Thanks again, H.

Thank you guys... I was considering one of these: Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 http://www.amazon.com/Nanoxia-Silence-XL-ATX-Motherboard-Controllers/dp/B00DSFF93C It looks awfully cramped by where the power supply cords would be... also that second rack of drives do not have a fan spot for them. I would imagine those would run hot. With my 4 in 3 cage that would bring it to 17 drives. Anyone know anything about these cases? Another one that looks amazing is the Lian Li PC-D8000. But I am not sure how quiet it can be with lots of drives... and all those needed fans. http://www.amazon.com/Lian-Li-PC-D8000-Aluminum-Computer/dp/B009FOXOOG/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&srs=2595427011&ie=UTF8&qid=1443995324&sr=1-8

I have a mid tower where I have the capacity of twelve 3.5" drives. I am looking to be able to add mire drives to my array. Currently I am maxed out on my drive slots and I even have a 4 in 3 drive cage taking up all my 5.25" drive bays. The computer has to be in a cabinet in my bedroom, so ideally its a quiet case. Can anyone please suggest something that will not break the bank, or keep my wife from leaving me... I live in an apt. and unfortunately I don't have anywhere to put it where it can be out of the way. Hopefully something that will keep the expense around $400 US. Those Norco server racks cases are very noisy correct? Thanks, H.

This sounds like a good deal... I ordered one and I should be getting to install it on Monday. What do you guys think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPERMICRO-AOC-SASLP-MV8-PCI-Express-x4-Low-Profile-SAS-RAID-Controller-/221841535893?hash=item33a6c93395

Now THAT is some good news!!! Next Websync?? I have been trying to get it to build in Docker Hub and nothing works. I want to be able to save the files in /nobody/websync/dist folder to /appdata... But cannot get the Docker to do the git clone part.

Sickrage should feel very familiar to you. It basically what Sickbeard would look like if they kept adding features. I am using Needo's Sickrage Docker and linuxserver's NZBGet.

Or more densely packed and larger icons... but sadly Mr. B shot it down... so I am left to hancking the code on every upgrade.

I have also switched from Sab to NZBGet... cant tell you if its better or not... but the general consensus is that NZBGet is better. It is also a general consensus that scripts are not needed anylonger. SSB and CP can handle the post processing nicely. I have been operating like this for a few months now and no problems. Someone here told me that once upon a time, scripts were needed, but now they are somewhat obsolete. I strongly suggest using Sickrage... Its way more advanced and its very actively developed.

Its on the settings... I use Sickrage so it may be in a different spot that Sickbeard. Its on Settings > Search Settings > Episode Search > Daily search frequency

While I love the LinuxServer.io guys, I prefer to have the apps that work for me which leads to a big mish-mosh of Dockers from several people... This does not bother me and has been working fine for me. I do make sure they all are on the same phusion version number.

I have tried to like Sonarr but I cannot make the switch. The biggest issue for me is whenever I download torrents, I have no way to manually force a post process.. If I put a watch folder, the files may get post processed before they are done copying from my torrent download folder. And as a visual person, I cannot STAND the huge background images when looking at individual shows... Its like trying to read a billboard from 3 feet... but that's just me... the Manual Post Processing is the dea lbreaker.

That sounds like a problem with getting the file from your indexer. Try disabling the indexer and see if another indexer catches the file properly. I used to use the pp scripts, but now I simple let SB do the PP by wtaching my downloads/complete/tv folder. Just set Sab to unrar (in categories)... I use Sickrage instead of Sickbeard as it seems SB is not being updated.

No experience at all on what you need. I am nowhere near a Google Fiber or anything close to doing the bandwidth required. But if what I want to back up are TV shows and Movies... I basically rely on my friends and family. I once messed up and lost all data in one of my array drives. I was able to rebuild about 70% of it from my friends and family who have "similar" media libraries. So I gave them a portable hard drive where they copied what they had that I needed. If there was anything missing, I had to re-acquire it by the traditional methods. Sorry this is not what you were thinking/asking... But I think its somewhat practical. Convince your local buddies to setup systems of their own and build your own network like that.

Awesome... I am still trying to rebuild the Docker with the Java 8 added. I do need your help letting me know if everything runs OK. As I mentioned, I am not a Minecraft expert, and my son has enough school work, music classes, and sports to keep him busy.

oh boy.... Try the entire thing again... sometimes repositories are down... you need the apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties to work well before you can add a repository... in fact, try running an apt-get update apt-get upgrade before you start the whole series of commands again.

Andro I responded on the original thread how to manually upgrade java.... I spent time figuring this out and writing the instructions.

These are the steps to follow to manually upgrade to java 8... it will take a little time to update everything. Log into the MineOS Docker by: docker ps Make note of the container ID for MineOS... then type: docker exec -t -i ID_Code-Here /bin/bash This should place you inside the container. Then type all the commands below: java -version You should get something like this. java version "1.7.0_x0" The 7 I guess is java 7. So we want to upgrade. export TERM=xterm apt-get install default-jre apt-get install default-jdk apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java apt-get update apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default Finally type again to confirm java version: java -version It should hopefully be on Java v.1.8. x Please try and let me know... also let me know if the modpack works. I am not using MineOS for now as my son is off Minecraft for the moment. Thanks.

Hi c3... How exactly does one achieve what you describe above? What type of external HD case? How does the case connect to the unRAID machine? What type of port or card is required? These can be easily added to the current array? Many thanks H.

Well. Looks like Docker hub has changed something and it wont build what it built a few months ago. I am getting error that I cannot resolve. If anyone knows what could be wrong, I would love some input. Here is the link to my Dockefile on github. https://github.com/hernandito/docker-mineos/blob/master/Dockerfile

Somehow Docker is finding errors and will not let me compile what should compile. Let me see if I can go back. I just changed one little number.

I just changed the 7 to an 8... its rebuilding now. If all goes well, you should be able to upgrade from your Docker screen. Otherwise, I have no clue what to do... I copied this from someone and adapted it to unRAID. Stay tuned....

another brighter one. I take no credits for the images... they are compilations of other people's work... I just cobbled them together and tweaked thigs. http://i.imgur.com/8GkPgrZ.jpg
