You have been a big help - no worries at all. And the plugin is much appreciated. Question: I assume I can still use my UPS short term? It will just supply power if I lose power but does not have any smarts so unRAID will not shutdown. So all it does now is keep it up and running and I have to hope the power comes back on before it runs out of charge?

The cables seem fine. I can plug them into a printer and a Windows laptop sees them... I strongly suspect the usb port on the actual UPC - it seems very "loose" - not sure how that happened. May be time for a new UPS. 😞

NUT Debug Package also attached n ow - sorry - I missed that out. I agree with your assessment - I do not think the USB connection is being picked up. Will see if I can get the UPS and USB cable to be recognized by a windows - Thanks! nut-debug-20240309210916.zip

I have had NUT working fine for some time. But to be fair, have not looked for a month or two too see if it was working and had no warnings or alerts. I had to move my server today as we are painting and noticed when bringing it back up, it has stopped working. My UPC is a APC BX700U Series. Motherboard is Supermicro X10SL7-F The APC UPS daemon is NOT activated I have tried two different USB cables and 3 different USB ports. I have ordered a new cable and will try that. I have tried both the current version and the 2.7.4 version (with restart) I am attaching my diagnostics.

Hello, During my usual monthly parity check, I received some read errors concerning one of my parity drives: Event: Unraid array errors Subject: Warning [ZACK-UNRAID] - array has errors Description: Array has 1 disk with read errors Importance: warning Parity disk - WDC_WD60EFRX-68MYMN1_WD-WX51DA47619X (sdd) (errors 256) After the parity check completed, I ran a smart disk extended test on the parity drive but all seemed fine. See attached. This morning I received another warning about this drive. I fear the end is near: Event: Fix Common Problems - Zack-unRAID Subject: Errors have been found with your server (Zack-unRAID). Description: Investigate at Settings / User Utilities / Fix Common Problems Importance: alert * **parity (WDC_WD60EFRX-68MYMN1_WD-WX51DA47619X) has read errors** I attach the smart drive tests and my unRAID server data. Is there anything I can do to either confirm the drive is close to failing or that these errors are anomalies? The drive in question is old...Thanks! zack-unraid-smart-20230806-1150.zip zack-unraid-diagnostics-20230806-1152.zip

Cleaning up, Appdata docker config path - cache v user?
TexasDave replied to TexasDave's topic in General Support
All the stuff on disk 4 was old. I just backed it up (actually renamed it OLD) just in case. Turned off dockers, updated config info, and all seems to be working. Many thanks both!! -
Cleaning up, Appdata docker config path - cache v user?
TexasDave replied to TexasDave's topic in General Support
Thank you! There is a tiny bit on Disk 4... Can I do the following: 1) Stop the three dockers 2) Move the appdata from disk4 to cache 3) Edit three dockers, change them to use cache. 4) Start dockers? Or is there a better way? It is weird as the three dockers (mylar3, plex and QDirSTat) should be using cache? Maybe that is old stuff? Thanks!! -

OK - So I know it is far from scientific but this is what I am seeing. I ran four samples on Plex (Original, GPU-Medium, GPU-Slow, CPU-Medium). GPU is a 1050Ti..... GPU is definitely faster than CPU. About 7-8x (5 minutes v 40 minutes). Quality on GPU is about the same between SLOW and MEDIUM. GPU produces a better bit rate which seems to be my issue. I attach a few screen shots. Like I say, I know it is far from scientific. I am running Plex on unRAID, through Shield TV and on to a Hisense Roku TV which is decent but certainly not high end. I know there is a bitrate flag and I may try bumping that up. Even on the original there is some minor pixelation. The photos make it look worse than it is. But I can tell a difference between the original and the ones that have been processed. Changing the brightness on the TV from Brightest to Dark made the most difference. 🙂 Besides bumping the bitrate up - any other ideas? I think I will just live with it. I am on an average TV in average viewing conditions. Friends that access Plex do not complain so... -

I am assuming that if you compress, you lose bitrate, I am just wanting to try to see if I can get it a bit better. I do not mind some increased size if I can get rid of the black pixelization. -

I am getting pixelation on dark (black) backgrounds. I believe this is due to bitrate? I attach a screen shot of the pixelation. I also attach "before" and "after" details on the file. Is there a "compromise" (or ideas) on how I can increase my bitrate? Thanks!! -

I have a ton of files - mostly restart logs - in my log folder. 7904 objects: 2 directories, 7902 files (330 MB total) I assume I can get rid of most of these? Thanks! -

I would be willing to consider buying a 3rd SSD for a cache pool if this would buy me anything...Or splitting my current cache pool. -

I am in the process of tidying things up on my server and this is one of the last things I am considering harmonizing. My array is pretty old (some disks 7 years) and some of these settings were done when I first started. I have 3 data disks (2 old, one fairly new), 2 parity (1 old, 1 new) and two cache drives (both old). See attached. I run 19 dockers (screenshot attached): 12 are using /mnt/cache/appdate 4 are using /mnt/user/appdata 3 do not have a config file My docker setup defaults to /mnt/user/appdata (see atatched) My shares are attached. Appdata is set to "Prefer : Cache". All shares are on DIsk 4 except for TV+TV_Share (Disk 3) and Movies (Disk 1). (see attached) Now my question: I feel like I should be consitant on where I keep my appdata. And I am leaning to moving it all to /mnt/user/appdata. Thoughts? If I did this - does this process make sense? Taken from another post here. stop Docker; change the default appdata storage location in Docker settings to the default /mnt/user/appdata/ (DONE) check the share properties of the appdata share to ensure it is either cache only or cache preffeed (as is the unRAID default) (DONE) move all your folders from /mnt/cache/appdate share to /user/cache/appdate (not sure about this) turn off autostart on any containers you have start docker - check that each config path is set to the /user/cache/appdate path and not the /mnt/cache/appdate path - start my containers - set them back to start automatically if required - delete your empty /user/cache/appdate share if required (But this may "fill up" as things are cached so do not mess with it?) I would like to be consitant but worried I may mess something up and all works fine now. Any thoughts or other ideas/optimizations/suggestions welcome...THANKS! zack-unraid-diagnostics-20230131-1123.zip
