Thanks for your reply. I don't have any performance issues as such, my wife would always like it faster, so i like to try to keep improving it, but I am not sure where to go from here. I thought perhaps going dual NIC, but i wondered if there was a next logical step up from the addonics controllers I am using. I selected the addonics only because it was on the unraid compatibility list and seem to be plug and play whilst supporting sata3. Thanks Frank, I'll do a search for win ten smb problems and implement and fixes recommended on the forum.

Hi Folks, I have been using unraid for a few years now. Migrated from windows home server V1. This server is primarily used for a photographic business, with some home media server and backup duties I am getting some funny behavior that I can't nail down. Every once in a while the server stops responding to SMB requests. I can access via the web gui but the web gui stops responding about a minute after i start using it in this scenario (normal times the web gui is fine). I can then putty into it, but any attempt to restart it via command line fails, it just sits there. If openelec is playing a video via smb during all this it just keeps playing without issue, but any attempt to browse the file shares just hang (windows 10 does not report an error if browsing from laptop, it just sits there waiting). The only way to get the server back is a hard boot. Pressing the power button does not result in a proper shutdown (as it normally would for the server outside this scenario) This same behaviour started on V5, at which point i suspected a hardware failure (8 year old machine) so i replaced everything but the drives. I am hoping you can give me some insights based on the diagnostic file attached, and the the description above - as to whether i have any sub optimal configuration at play. Current Hardware: ASRock H97 Performance Enermax psu Intel Pentium CPU G3260 8GB Ram 2X Addonics ad4sa6gpx2 Intel CT Gigabit network adaptor 80gb intel 520 ssd cache 240 gb intel 535 ssd cache wd red 3gb parity wd red 2gb data 2x wd red 3gb data sandisk cruiser usb The other thing i'd like advice on is where to go next with this server.... cpu, nic, controller card? I'm getting around 110MB/s on parity calc. Current plan is a 240gb ssd for cache pool, and 5tb drive to replace current parity and shift that to storage pool. Thanks, i know everyones time is valuable, hopefully i have give the right info up front. solar-diagnostics-20160409-1338.zip

Hi there, was this something that got rolled up into unraid 6? or is this script modification needed in 6 as well? cheers

Hi, Did you ever figure this out? I have similar symptoms.

Yes, Sorry forgot to mark it as solved! Loving Unraid 6, awesome product, worth every penny.

Argh! For some reason i never thought to look there, didn't scroll down and i'm on a tiny screen and couldn't see it. many thanks for your help sir :-)

I used fdisk to delete the partition, but adding it as a cache disk saw unraid report it as unmountable.

Hi, I've done a search but everything i found said unraid should just format the cache drive ready to go. My problem is I have added a 80gb Intel 320 Series SSD as a cache drive on unraid 6.1.0 but when i bring it online it's reporting a file system of NTFS with a size of 105mb. I have had a look through the gui and found no way i can pre clear it or do anything like that. Is there something I can do to resolve this? many thanks 10meg

Ok, update. So I upgraded from 5.05 to 6.1 - using the instruction here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrading_to_UnRAID_v6 (which are excellent!). Uptime so far is 1 hour 15 minutes. I've run permissions (just in case) and i'm running a parity check - running a parity check reproduced my fault within 5minutes 100% of the time with 6.0.1, so i'm pretty hopeful that whatever the issue was has not occurred in 6.1. It's possible the work between 6.0.1 and 6.1 resolved whatever this issue was but i personally think that either I missed something in the 6.0.1 upgrade instructions, or there was something missing in the 6.0.1 instructions (probably the former as i was following the short and sweet instructions). Just wanted to report this to close this out.

Hi Guys, Thought I would report an issue i was seeing, just in case anyone else comes across it. Issue: After upgrading to unraid 6.01 from 5.05 the system becomes unresponsive to both web gui and ping (system runs headless and it is not possible to connect a monitor practically) More Detail: System would idle fine for at least 30 minutes, as soon as i provoked disk activity (either with array online via a network copy or by adding a new disk and having it preclear with the array offline) the web gui would give a 404-esqe error and the server would not respond to ping. Logs: Unable to get logs as they clear on reboot as far as i can tell Upgrade process: Followed to the letter on the "short and sweet" instructions, no issues encountered Troubleshooting steps take: - New usb slot - re-wiped usb and tried again - swapped out switching hardware - cold restart (capacitors empty) - machine idled for 30 minutes with array offline - issue did not occur, only occured after 10 minutes of network copy with array online or within 3 minutes of trying to preclear a new disk. Hardware: Asus P5Q Pro Intel Pentium e5300 4 GB ram 2X WD Red 3TB 1x WD Red 2TB 1X Seagate 2TB Ultimate resolution: Roll back to 5.05, no further issues encountered (afraid i did not have time to troubleshoot as my wife needs this machine for her photography work urgently, only upgraded to 6 as i wanted to add an extra hard drive and thought i would buy a basic license instead, i upgraded the basic license to plus license which allowed me to use the additional hard drive in unraid 5, i'll try unraid 6 in a few month when the next stable comes out. Just posting this in case anyone else had similiar issues, - i don't need any active support on this - if you would like logs or anything out of my unraid 5 install for whatever reason i am happy to provide them, just say the word. cheers 10meg
