  1. Thanks for all the info. have ordered a card per the recommended controllers. I also noticed that the firmware on my card (RS25DB080) was very very old(23.7.XXX) so i updated it to the newest version (23.34.0-0019). This has actually solved the issue with the disks having different identification and the array now loads up perfect. Will add in the new card still when i get it
  2. Hmm, that is some very interesting information, thanks for that. Is there a way to circumvent this problem that i am experiencing? Ideally obviously, I will change to a non raid card. The chassis has a 12port backplane in the front with 3 sas ports (SFF-8087 i think). what card would people recommend?
  3. I am trying to move to a more flexible setup but having problems. not sure if new MB or the HBA but all drives report differently and therefore cant start the array. how can i tell it to try these disks? micro-diagnostics-20230130-1354.zip
  4. While this is true yes 99% of the power outages where I live are less than 15min. Which is easily within the run time of my UPS when foldingathome is not running, but, would require a shutdown if it is. I have the system setup to shutdown at 15min reported runtime remaining
  5. Hi, can any one tell me if there is a way to stop docker containers when the server is running off ups power? I have a foldingathome container which i have running on the server which I need to stop if the power goes out and is running on the UPS My UPS is capable of running my unraid server for over 45min if I do not have the foldingathome docker running but only 10min if everything is running at 100% Thanks
  6. OK, here is the new diagnostics Is now a good time to upgrade to the beta? tower-diagnostics-20200818-0631.zip
  7. The 500G docker.img was because I was troubleshooting something and I forgot to change it back, thanks for reminding me. As to the docker and vm not on Cache, I am unsure, I don't remember changing anything but it could be because I only installed the Cache later down the track. Though I believe some of the Vdisk.img are on there. Any hints on remedying that would be appreciated. The Cache also gets used for when dumping files onto the server as fast as possible, so that I can get them in a second location after I for example pull footage off a camera.
  8. ah, My Cache Drive is currently btrfs tower-diagnostics-20200816-1321.zip
  9. I'm happy to include a diagnostics file but I'm not trying to diagnose anything. How would that be useful? I want to know if making the SATA SSD a Parity Cache drive. then removing the M.2 drive from the system is a safe way to go about swaping drives. I cant think why it wouldn't work but, has it been done? I'm just asking before I try it, in case I have overlooked something major. Thanks
  10. Hi Guys, I am looking to "upgrade" my cache drive and want to know if my "easy" way of doing it will work or if it will cause trouble. I was just going to shove my larger SSD into the system and tell it to use it as cache parity drive. Then once its all synced up then remove the old SSD cache drive. I have searched how to upgrade the Cache drive and everyone seems to do it manually, so I wanted to ask if my lazy way would work or if I have to do it manually for a reason. You may be wondering why I don't just leave the old one there for Parity. Well I am going down the route of changing motherboards to a dual socket server board which does not have any M.2 to be able to use the current Cache drive so I want to swap from it (256GB) to a SATA (1TB) SSD that I have lying around. Because I no longer do anything directly on the UnRaid server the loss of speed from the NVMe is no penalty as network infrastructure would be the bottleneck. Thanks for any thoughts and or feedback
