Just some built in functionality that uses Rsync in the background would be fine, configurable through the gui.

I would do some research first to see if unRAID can offer you what you have today with Proxmox in terms of virtualization. While unRAID has matured a great deal virtualization is still one of the areas that needs improvement, in my opinion. I run all my internal infrastructure on VMWare and wouldn't consider moving it over to unRAID unless things like snapshots and api's that can tie in to third party backup applications like Veeam, exist, and they likely never will because the hypervisor used in unRAID, KVM, is not trying to compete with ones like VMWare. Don't get me wrong, KVM is great for what it is, it does work, I run a Windows 10 VM on one of my unRAID servers that I use for gaming, I pass an NVidia GTX 960 through to it and runs like bare metal, but I wouldn't run any critical VM's on it, I just don't have that kind of comfort level with it. As for not wanting to protect your data with respect to nzbget and rutorrent, those dockers typically save their data to a cache drive anyway (not mandatory) so you don't have to worry about the unassigned devices plugin.

I could do it from a windows box, just wondered if there was something I could do on the server that didn't involve the CLI.

That's really odd, usually they send you the next available drive up from the size you sent them, not down. So if you sent them a 5TB and they didn't have any 5TB replacements they should of sent you the next available 6TB drive, not a 4TB.

I want to backup one unRAID servers share to another unRAID server in my house. I am not terribly proficient at the command line, what is the best/easiest app to use for this purpose? I will need to do an initial copy of about 20TB and then periodic syncs to update the backup with new and changed files.

Install the fix common problems plugin and set it to troubleshooting mode. If you haven't done a memtest do one and upload your diagnostics for a start.

Thanks guys I hadn't thought of either of those options, appreciate it.

Would it be too difficult to add this functionality to a future release of unRAID? I realize it's a little dangerous and perhaps that would be why people would be against the idea, but for those of us not comfortable/familiar with the CLI its chore to have to delete a share from the command prompt.

What if they aren't empty, do I then have to do it from the CLI?

I am cleaning up an unRAID servers and want to delete some shares, is it possible to do this from the GUI?

The spread of this has been stopped thankfully and it was only affecting those who had not patched their systems with a patch Microsoft released back in March. http://sensorstechforum.com/wncry-file-virus-remove-restore-files/

Shuttle, ewww that brings bad some bad memories.

I happen to have an Antec 1200 V2 case for sale, although I live in Canada, not sure where you live.

Thanks, I reset the BIOS and sorted it out, its all good now. Thanks again.

I am having a weird problem with one of my unRAID servers. Its the one that has a windows 10 VM on its own SSD that I use for occasional gaming. I used to have two Syba SATA PCI-X1 cards in the system and the other day I took them out and replaced them with my old SAS2LP card, but then I noticed with that card in my system it was causing conflicts with the IOMMU groups and my VM wouldn't start. Today I tried moving to another slot but the system all of a sudden wouldn't power on. Eventually I swapped one of the Syba cards back in and got the system to boot but when it did it said the main BIOS was corrupted and so it failed over the backup BIOS. I then had to fix some BIOS settings and eventually I got it to boot into unRAID. I try the windows 10 VM and it gives me some error which I eventually figure out to mean that its not seeing my Nvidia GTX 960 video card that I use for the VM, the onboard video is working just fine. That's weird, I check the power cables that are coming from the PS to the card, unplug them, plug them back in, all good. Reboot the system go into the BIOS, find the two entries that mention video and I set them to onboard which looks to be correct. When I power the system on I can feel the fans on the video card spinning but as soon as it gets to the point on the screen where its going to boot into unRAID they stop and by the time we boot into unRAID it doesn't detect the video card. Now I can't think of a BIOS setting that would make the video card not be detected and it seems to be getting power, any thoughts? The motherboard is a Gigabyte Z77X-UP5TH and I have the video card in the first PCI-E slot. It was all working perfectly fine before I decided to swap out the Syba cards for the SAS2LP. And the other thing that may or may not be related, I either initially can connect to the webgui from any computer other than my own and I usually stay connected, or I can't connect initially at all from any computer. Never had this problem before.

Right, I was mistaken. Can a pending sector become reallocated or does it have to start of as reallocated?

I know this has been asked enough times but I just wanted to confirm. The current school of thought concerning pending sectors says that as long as they aren't increasing or at least not at an alarming rate, the drive should be ok to be used but with caution correct? I have a 3TB drive that a was complaining about one pending sector then that turned to two, since doing one pre clear, the drive returned to normal, no pending sectors, then they came back. Doing a second pre clear, same thing, started off with the two pending sectors, now on the post read they have returned to normal, but I think they may come back. Should I use the drive in the array and just keep an eye on it, its past warranty so if I don't use it its a paper weight.

I have an older 1200 a V2 I think, they are great because you can load them up with four five bay drive cages and there you have 20 drives but I agree with NastyBox, since getting my mini rack, its way easier to pop them in a rack and be done with it and besides you can't get a 36 bay tower that isn't massive and comes on wheels lol.

Will do, that server is just about finished doing a parity check so if I had time tonight I'll move the card to the other slot.

Ok I do have another slot I can try first, thank for the help, appreciate it.

What are the drive temps like?

Here is a screen shot of the settings.

Nice

I just added a HBA to my system that was running a Windows 10 VM perfectly fine for a long time, now I get an error when I try to start the VM. I believe its because the HBA I added is using resources the VM uses to use or at least its causing a conflict, just not sure how to sort it out. Here is the error message.
