Well crap it looks like my parity disk has the same problem. Is this because I just did a parity from the other drive recently? attached is the smart report for the parity drive ST32000542AS_5XW23283-20160102-0118.txt

Ok thank you! Is there a reason this could have happened or it just happens? I've never had a hdd fail on me before. Is my best option to just copy the data from it onto the new drive and then replace it when I can or should I take it out and rebuild to the new drive from parity?

I haven't used my unraid server in months if not a year and I just reset it up with OS 6. I have always had one 2tb parity drive and one 2tb data drive. I just recently added a ssd cache drive and a WD Red 2tb data drive. I ran a smart report on my first data drive, however it only gets to about 10% and stops. I think it is going to fail but I do not know when or how bad it is. I attached the SMART report. If the drive is failing then what is my best course of action? I am not sure if I want to buy a new drive right now so I am guessing I can just move all the data to the new WD Red I added? My other question is I only had a cpu fan and an exhaust fan in the back of the case. When resetting up the server I noticed that the exhaust fan is no longer working. I added a yate loon fan in the back and the front of the case because they were the only extra fans I had. The problem is that they are super loud. Is there a way to control fan speed in Unraid? My motherboard is a zotac nvidia MCP61. thanks! ST32000542AS_5XW28095-20160102-0021.txt

Thanks guys, but I tried doing that regedit fix and it did not work I'll try pinning it to quick access if it ever shows up again...

Hey everyone! I tried searching for this but can't seem to find the answer. Unraid os 6 sometimes will show up in the network folder on Windows 10 but the past day it will not show up. It has done this before in the past with older version and I just upgrading it about 2 days ago to os 6. What is the problem? Is there anyway to fix this? I am on version 6.1.6 Thanks

I don't think the dgpu is going to benefit you for steam in-home streaming from another device. I stream from my beefy gaming rig to my MacBook Air 2011 and it seems to work just fine (though a better wireless connection could help me a bit). This is a core i5 1.7 GHz from years back. I boil down your entire post to one question: can I stream heroes of the storm (and maybe some other games) from a VM on unRAID to a laptop. Here's a video someone did showing how they got Heroes of the Storm to stream through Steam In Home Streaming (ignore the "to linux" part of the video name, if it works "to linux" it works to any OS). There are other game streaming technologies you can look into as well, including Project Moonlight. In short, you should be able to make lots of games work through Steam In Home Streaming, even if they weren't actually purchased through Steam. Thank you for your reply! I did actually find this and got Heroes working with in home streaming. I think I forgot that I could do this without having it on the unraid server and I was thinking we could make it be able to stream any game. Would a remote desktop work or this would be way too slow? Also, is there a way to get it to work when say at a friends house or something? I was also wanting to use it so I could run anything from my gaming PC like photoshop or something on my laptop and benefit from the gpu.

Hi everyone, I have been running unraid for a few years now but only as a NAS and haven't used OS 6 before and very new to the Docker. I just did a clean install of os 6 on my server, but left all my data on my drives and added a 128gb SSD cache drive. I have been reading some of the tutorials but I am still confused. Per the guide when I enabled Docker I used /mnt/cache/docker.img. I was then confused on where to add Plex Media Server. I want to use it on my cache drive and I also saw that people keep using an appdata share. Is this something I create on my own? Based on what I could find it looked like I needed to and made my own appdata share as cache only. so I have it setup as /mnt/cache/appdata/PlexMediaServer and it is working but then after I created it I now see another appdata folder. Was this supposed to happen? On my server I have a user share called Movies however I do not understand if I should set this to use cache or cache only because of the Mover. I do not see how its supposed to be cache only but then that will only give me the 128gb of storage. Lastly, per what I have seen I made a volume mapping called /movie and then /mnt/user/Movies/ Why do I need to make this as I also had to tell plex to look at the Movies folder when I went into the webGUI?

Hey guys! Sorry if my questions have already been answered, but I am really trying to get specific answers to my situation. I do not know how to do this stuff very well so I am just trying to see if it is possible. Right now I have a pretty weak PC I built a few years back to run unraid and use it as a NAS. I have not had it running in a few months and just found out about unraid os 6 and the new capabilities it offers. I also just bought a Surface Book for school. It is the model with i5/256gb ssd/ and dgpu. I really like the laptop however it is a little expensive. I really like the idea of being able to play games on it sometimes however I may not do this very often and it is pretty expensive for something I will not use often. I am also just learning how to code and in an investment class I am in at school we use SQL and I am also learning python. Will any of this benefit from the dgpu? I am considering taking this back and buying a model without the dgpu. If I take this back and buy a model without the dgpu that is where my questions come in. I was thinking about either upgrading my current unraid server to unraid os 6 or using my current gaming pc which is currently in my sig and having both unraid and windows 10 on it. I do not know that much about virtualizatoin so I do not know if it is possible but I also do not want to lose any performance and if I will it might be better to have them in separate cases. With unraid virtualization capabilities would it be possible to use the graphics card connected to the unraid server and play games on the surface book? I know steam can possibly do this but I do not play a lot of games from steam. One of my most played games is heroes of the storm. thanks guys!

not much to look at yet but the start of my server... more drives and a hot swap bay coming very soon..
