CA User Scripts plugin allows bash scripts to be run on a schedule.
That doesn't help you with very long running jobs because it can't automatically pause them after, say, 7 hours but there is an option built-in to Unraid to pause scheduled parity checks after a given number of hours and continue the next day. See Settings -> Scheduler -> Parity Check -> Cumulative Parity Check.

Yes, I believe you're right about the BTRFS errors. You can clear them with
btrfs dev stats -z /mnt/cache(assuming that's the correct mount point) then you'll find it easy to notice if any more occur.

Are you saying that the RAM is either too fast or too slow?
The reason I said the RAM was a slightly odd choice is that it's specced at DDR4-3600 but the maximum your CPU can run at is 3200 MT/s. That figure is derated by your particular configuration - you have two DIMMs per channel and they are dual-rank. Becuase that's a lot of physical chips connected across the bus the recommended maximum speed for a 3000-series CPU is 2666 MT/s. So you might have paid more for faster RAM when slightly slower RAM would suffice.

2133 MT/s is fine. I was asking why you weren't running it at 2666 MT/s and if the reason is that you had decided to slow it down in an attempt to avoid the errors.

The BTRFS errors I pointed out are real errors - hardware errors, I believe, and they are present in both sets of diagnostics - i.e. before you start the VM. Check the timestamp. The system runs fine before you start the VM but since the VM makes heavy use of the cache pool the problems begin when you start the VM.
On the question about power delivery, the Pro 4 series has weaker VRMs than more gaming orientated motherboards and the B450 series was designed for the 2000-series of CPUs. Your 3950X is rather more power hungry than the top CPU in the 2000 series (the 2700X). I don't think it's an issue in your case but it is why I asked what your VM was doing, thinking you might be using it to thrash the CPU.
If you're happy with the RAM the next thing to address is the NVMe cache.

I'm going to put that down to the Zen2 L3 cache system having to traverse the Infinity Fabric caching system and taking 'forever' to access the cache.
The L3 cache is on the same chiplet as the L2 cache, L1 cache and CPU cores. The Infinity Fabric is not involved.

Memtest86+ showed one failure but after reseating all the RAM sticks it went away
I'd go back and re-test the RAM. It isn't clear from your post whether your problem started before or after re-seating the RAM but unless you're sure it's good you're wasting your time doing anything else. The RAM modules themselves seem to be a slightly odd choice. Being DDR4-3600 they're not the best match for your CPU but you're clocking them at 2133 MT/s so at least that's within spec. You should be able to run them at 2666 MT/s - have you reduced the speed to see if it would fix the problem?
ASRock's website has been down for a couple of days now so I can't check on the specifics of your motherboard, but is the B450 Pro 4's CPU power delivery really adequate for the 3950X? What's special about the VM you use to reproduce the problem? Note that there are pre-existing errors on your NVMe cache before you start the VM:
Sep 25 17:09:48 Jarvis kernel: BTRFS info (device nvme0n1p1): bdev /dev/nvme0n1p1 errs: wr 38166417, rd 30944114, flush 3780, corrupt 102327, gen 246I can't tell whether subsequent errors reported in the log are "new" or simply manifestations of the pre-existing errors.

The .local domain is a special case. It's a pseudo-top level domain that has been set aside for use by the multicast DNS (mDNS) service, originally developed by Apple as Rendezvous and more recently known as Bonjour, with the aim to provide "zero-configuration networking". Apple released the protocol to the open source community in a series of RFCs and it has been adopted and incorporated into other operating systems, e.g. the avahi daemon provides mDNS for Linux. Instead of querying a centralised DNS server, mDNS requests are multicast to all hosts on the local network and if an mDNS-supporting host recognises its own name it responds with its IP address, using a similar data structure to that used by a conventional DNS server. For a particular container to support mDNS it would need to be built with avahi included.

I think the problem with your request is that the system doesn't know how big a file is going to be until it has finished writing it. That's the reason you have to specify for each share the minimum free space as being at least as big as the largest file you intend to store in it, otherwise you risk filling up a disk and the write failing.

There's a plugin called Enhanced Log Viewer that opens at the end of the log. I appreciate that this isn't quite what you're asking for but it might make life easier for you in the meantime. The plugin doesn't replace the built-in log viewer but it is available from the Tools page as an alternative. It has other features, too such as customisable colours. I find it very useful.

For files that are never supposed to change, look into marking them as immutable with, chattr +i filename . The only way the file can be changed is through removing the immutable attribute first with, chattr -i filename.
That's a feature that could easily be implemented in the Dynamix File Manager plugin. It already allows chown and chmod operations. The ability to twiddle the immutability bit in the GUI would be very useful, especially if the file's icon was to change to indicate that it has been set.

The mcelog command doesn't support AMD processors and the resulting error message, which appears once in the syslog at boot-up, causes confusion and anxiety. For a list of supported CPUs type
mcelog --helpand to test whether the current CPU is supported run
mcelog --is-cpu-supportedwhich returns no error message and a return code of zero if the CPU is on the supported list, or the error message and a non-zero return code in the case of an unsupported CPU. So, to suppress the error message, first call "mcelog --is-cpu-supported" with the error message redirected to /dev/null and test the return code. If it is zero then call mcelog again with the appropriate options. If it is non-zero, check that the edac_mce_amd module is loaded instead.

The mcelog error message is a red herring and is unrelated to the OP's problem. The message itself explains the situation, namely that
Quotemcelog does not support this processor
The solution is to
Quoteuse the edac_mce_amd module instead
To find which processors are supported by mcelog, type the following:
root@Pusok:~# mcelog --help Usage: mcelog [options] [mcelogdevice] Decode machine check error records from current kernel. ... --help Display this message. Valid CPUs: generic p6old core2 k8 p4 dunnington xeon74xx xeon7400 xeon5500 xeon5200 xeon5000 xeon5100 xeon3100 xeon3200 core_i7 core_i5 core_i3 nehalem westmere xeon71xx xeon7100 tulsa intel xeon75xx xeon7500 xeon7200 xeon7100 sandybridge sandybridge-ep ivybridge ivybridge-ep ivybridge-ex haswell haswell-ep haswell-ex broadwell broadwell-d broadwell-ep broadwell-ex knightslanding knightsmill xeon-v2 xeon-v3 xeon-v4 atom skylake skylake_server cascadelake_server kabylake denverton icelake_server icelake-d snowridge cometlake tigerlake rocketlake alderlake lakefield sapphirerapids_serverand to check whether the edac_mce_amd module is loaded:
root@Pusok:~# lsmod | grep mce edac_mce_amd 32768 0This confusion would be avoided if mcelog was only run after first checking for a compatible CPU by invoking it with the --is-cpu-supported option. This is the result with an AMD CPU:
root@Pusok:~# mcelog --is-cpu-supported mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 23: mcelog does not support this processor. Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead. root@Pusok:~#a bash script could easily suppress the error message and check the return code for a non-zero value. For comparison, here's the result with an Intel Ivybridge CPU:
root@Northolt:~# mcelog --is-cpu-supported root@Northolt:~#Finally, just to confirm that the Intel server doesn't have the edac_mce_amd module loaded:
root@Northolt:~# lsmod | grep mce root@Northolt:~#EDIT: I've submitted a feature request to get rid of the error message.

In the unique situation where you have one data disk and one parity disk and they are both the same size, their contents are identical because that's how even parity works.
You could probably assign either as either and it would be ok. However, you might want to adopt a more cautious approach.
Here's what I'd do. I'd choose one of them and temporarily disconnect the other (so if things go wrong you at least have a second chance). Do a new config and allocate your chosen drive as disk 1, no parity. Start the array and check that your files are ok. Once you're happy you can shut down, reconnect the other drive, add it as parity and let it rebuild.

Anyone have an update on X570 boards and system fan / system temp plugins?
You need to identify the Super I/O chip, which is separate from the main chipset. It won't be made by AMD. Likely manufacturers include ITE and Nuvoton. You need a driver for that chip and it needs to be loaded at boot time. Have you tried running the sensors-detect command, as @bastl did a few messages up on this page? It might need the id of the chip to be overridden and you might need to do some web searching once you've determined what chip your motherboard actually uses. For example, I have a Gigabyte X370 motherboard that uses an ITE chip. All I had to do was add
modprobe it87to my /boot/config/go file. YMMV, of course.

The Unraid GUI uses eth0 so temporarily unplug the 10G NIC and set the gigabit NIC to eth0 and as you're using a static IP address you need to configure a default gateway - usually that would be your Internet router. An easier way to do it would be to use a DHCP-allocated address because the DHCP server built into your router can automatically set the default gateway for you. You should be able to reserve a particular IP address for your Unraid server by configuring the DHCP server in your router, then you have a situation that's functionally very similar to having a static IP address, without the hassle of configuring it manually. If you repeat that for all your 1G devices you centralise all the administration in one place, your router. However you achieve it, that should restore your connection to the Internet and allow you to use the webGUI.
Once that's working, set the 10 gigabit NIC to eth1 and give it a static IP address that's compatible with your other 10G devices. When you connect to your server for file transfers refer to it by this IP address.
I suspect that when you swapped over eth0 and eth1 you got muddled with the static IP addresses and forgot to swap them at the same time.

Jun 26 00:01:30 preclear_disk_81GBD7PV_35102: Zeroing: dd output: dd: error writing '/dev/sdb': No space left on device
It looks as though the size reported for your disk is bigger than the actual size available.
QuoteJun 25 22:51:35 preclear_disk_81GBD7PV_35102: Disk size: 14000519643136
That's 14 TB. But dd runs out of space before 1 TB is written. Are you using a disk controller that I've never heard of? Your diagnostics should reveal more.

+fma4
Why is that option included? According to Wikipedia the FMA4 instruction set is obsolete. It was introduced by AMD in its "Heavy Equipment" series (Bulldozer, Piledriver, etc.) but isn't officially supported by Ryzen. Intel has never supported it and therefore is isn't a requirement for macOS.
I also replied to your post in General Support.

my mac VM won't work anymore
MacOS expects very specific capabilities of the CPU and several of them have to be faked in the XML. In particular, it expects to see "GenuineIntel" as the vendor string and not "AuthenticAMD". You don't say how you first created your VM but I recommend you take a look at the MacInABox Docker container help pages for more information. SpaceInvaderOne, the author, has also created a video showing how to use it. The purpose of that container is to create a macOS VM - you run it once and then rarely need it again. Your best solution might be to create a new VM using that method, install a fresh copy of macOS, then import your data, either from your original virtual HD image or from a Time Machine backup. Alternatively, if you're comfortable editing your XML manually you could do that. The parts that describe the CPU are in the <qemu: commandline> block at the end of the file, after the <devices> section. Here are the last twelve lines of an XML file that works for me, created using the MacInABox container.
<qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-usb'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=REDACTED'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='Penryn,kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,+pcid,+ssse3,+sse4.2,+popcnt,+avx,+aes,+xsave,+xsaveopt,check'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain>

See here for the cause. NTFS supports alternate streams.

This rings a bell. Three identical HBA cards. Each card works fine on it's own, possible any combination of two do too, but when you install all three the system fails to boot. Something about conflicting address space for their BIOS ROMs - solution is to flash them with IT firmware only and if you need the BIOS then only flash it to one of them. The other possiblity is SMBus conflict - solution is to insulate two of the PCIe edge connector contacts (pins 5 and 6, maybe?) with Kapton tape. Sorry this is a bit vague but I don't have time to research it right now but it might jog someone's memory or gve you enough information to do a search.

it did not change anything
Are you using the Azure or Gray theme (I use the original White)? I notice that Unraid 6.10.3 will have some changes to help with compatibility with Firefox. They are already present in the -rc1:
Quote-
webgui: Updated azure/gray themes
- Better support for Firefox
EDIT: Ah, I scrolled up and see that you seem to be using the Black theme. Are there any related nginx errors in the syslog?

This happens in Firefox but not in e.g. chrome.
When you get different results with different browsers the first thing to do is clear the cache, whitelist your server in any ad-blocking extension and make sure the browser itself is up to date. Does it work in private/incogneto mode?

It's on the Settings -> Management Settings page. The wording has changed slightly in the intervening four years. The item is now Use SSH/TLS and the options I would toggle between are Off and Strict.
