I am in process of shrinking the form factor of my server so I will not have as many drive bays available. I will be replacing 4x 4TB disks with 2x 8TB disks. Parity disk is already 8TB so no issues there. Do these instructions (from 2016) still apply? https://wiki.unraid.net/Replacing_Multiple_Data_Drives_with_a_Single_Larger_Drive TIA! John

@ich777 Just checking in to see if there has been any progress with BF2 and/or BF2SF. Thanks, John

One other point regarding BF2 and BF2SF...they can use the same appdata folder since they use the same source files and the BF2SF settings and maps are stored in their own folder separate from BF2.

UPDATE: Apparently BF2142 requires a hacked profile to get around the initial login screen (if you don't already have an EA Games account). The other option would be to use something like Gameranger (which I have no interest in). FYI... As discussed over PM, Battlefield 2 Special Forces uses the same source files as BF2. You just launch using 'start.sh +modPath mods/xpack'. Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2142 server source files are also freely available. John

Thanks. I'll PM you with what I have done so far. The real trick (whihc I probably would have never figured out) is to use 'expect' and 'spawn' to run the shell script as it asks to accept the EULA for both BF2 and PunkBuster. Both BF2 server source files and BF2HUB installer are direct links (2nd is not required unless you want to host a ranked or unranked server on BF2HUB). BF2CC would be nice also (for admin) but requires mono and modmanger installed (both direct DLs also) and I just haven't messed with it yet. John

Is Battlefield 2 an option? The source files for a dedicated linux server are readily availble (I am running a server in a Docker container right now) but I wasn't sure of the legality. The place where I downloaded the source from has these disclaimers: If this all looks good, I can certainly help with getting this stood up but I wold love @ich777 to officially own it. John

Request for Unreal Tournament 2004. I see a few dockerized versions on docker hub and github so I imagine it is quite doable. John

This makes me happy!

Thx insane. I'll add those to the autoexec.cfg on the boys. machines. BTW, I sent you a PM (hope you don't mind...didn't want to make this thread longer than needed). I only got rcbot2 to play nicely on tf2 just the once although the bots didn't move. Ever since, it generates a segfault when I try to join my local server. Disabling rcbot2 and I am able to join without issue. John

First off...thank you for these awesome game servers. I have my 8 and 9 year old boys playing HL2DM and TF2. The interaction is hilarious. As described earlier in this post, I also added RCBOT2 to both games and have it running as expected. The issue is that the console is now spammed with messages like these: weapon_357[257]: Playing sequence 3 but there's only 2 in total? weapon_357[257]: Playing sequence 3 but there's only 2 in total? weapon_357[257]: Playing sequence 3 but there's only 2 in total? weapon_357[257]: Playing sequence 3 but there's only 2 in total? weapon_357[257]: Playing sequence 3 but there's only 2 in total? More info here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=157466467 So, I added the lines below to my server.cfg file but it does not seem to have any effect. If I type the commands in a console, they work. con_filter_enable 1 con_filter_text_out "Playing sequence" Any ideas? TIA. John

I think I confirmed that the same is true for 17.10.1. Testing now.

I'm having much better luck on 18.04. However, in order for the splash screen to work, I have to append the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line. Appending the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT has no impact (at least not for me). If this works satisfactorily, I run through my entire Retropie setup process on 18.04. John

Calling all Linux geeks...I know there are lots here. I am on the very last step of turning an x86 system into a Retropie appliance. It is essentially Ubuntu Server 17.10.1 x64 with Openbox as the window manager and Retropie installed (yes...you can run the Retropie setup script on Ubuntu). I borrowed a lot of work that was already done but then wanted to hide all of the background (gnome terminal window, mouse pointer, etc.). Normally coming in and out of a game you would see the mouse pointer and a the gray gnome terminal window with a light blue title bar. Here is the *almost* finished product if anyone is interested (I will write-up a full how-to): Where I am stuck is hiding the usual Ubuntu boot dialog. I really want to use a fancier splash screen using Plymouth, but, I can't get even get the standard splash screens to work. I was hoping it would be as easy as turning it back on in the grub config (shown below) and updating grub... GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=2 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" but it hangs at the following: And then eventually this... I have tried on a VM in unRAID and two different physical hardware. I even tried Ubuntu Server 16.04.4 with the same result. Can anyone help?!?!?!

I'll second the Supermicros.

These just started popping up in my syslog the other day. Anyone else? Version 1.8.1.4139

Answered my own question (I hope). This is what I am using and seems to setting perms consistent with newperms. If anyone sees issue, please let me know.

What are the proper values to assign for file, folder, user and group that aligns with what the 'New Permissions' script does in unRAID? For chown, do you use 99/100 or nobody:users? What values for chmod?

I know that this is completely taboo, but would the same hold true if there was a single mount point at a higher point... i.e. /mnt/user/?

Just a theoretical question... If I create a container that contains both Radarr and NZBget, will processed files be moved to the final location rather than copied/deleted? I want to say yes since both apps are technically running on the same 'machine'. Thoughts? John

I edited my post above...2.3.4-RELEASE-p1

They actually removed pfsense from the supported list since the time I bought it. It supported v2.3 though. That being said, I am at current pfsense stable (2.3.4-RELEASE-p1 ) and it seems to be working as expected. John

Ony Deluge and SAB are sent through the VPN tunnel. No traffic shaping rules are in place. I'll have a look at the traffic inspection tools and report back. Thanks!

I have no idea where to go with this and I am afraid to try anything on my own. I *had* a user share called 'Pictures' with a handful of folders and thousands of files. It has completely disappeared and I have no how or why or when. What is more confounding is that I do not see a Pictures folder on any single disk (/mnt/disk1, /mnt/disk2, etc.). How could a user share and all content within it just up and vanish? I have not had any drives redball. I certainly did not delete all the files/folders AND delete the share from the console. I don't have any dockers or VMs that interact with that share. I have attached my diagnostics file although I don't think it will provide much help. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated (especially if it prevents my wife from killing me). John unraid-diagnostics-20170729-0539.zip

I think you may be on to something here... I was up early this morning and decided to revisit this issue. I fired up Deluge and @ 5:02am, my download speed dumped to ~7Mbit. I was watching the traffic graphs in pfsense but couldn't see any obvious signs of abnormalities. I tinkered for about 5 mins and then shut down Deluge but the issue persisted. I then decided to take a look at the Sonarr logs and noticed that the RSS Sync started/finished @ 5:02am. I closed Sonarr and my speed immediately shot back up to ~115Mbit. So, this may be a combo Deluge/Sonarr issue. If Deluge is not running when Sonarr initiates an RSS sync, the issue is not there. Since I don't use RSS, I'll poke around Sonarr and see if I can disable that functionality. Apparently disabling RSS Sync is bad. I thought it just had to do with RSS feeds but it controls the automatic episode searching Sonarr. John

It does. What do you guys think of using something like Wireshark to capture data at the time of the issue? EDIT: It looks like pfsense has some packet capture ability built-in: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Sniffers,_Packet_Capture I'll try that first.
