I figured this out. My windows hosts file was out of date (because I have moved and have a new subnet). For others looking to verify if this is their problem, the hosts file is a text file that may contain mappings from computer names to numeric IP addresses. For win11, it is located here: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts You will need admin authority to modify it. Saving it from an editor may not work, in that case save the editor contents to a temporary location, and then move the file from the temporary location to the location noted above. You will prompted by windows that admin authority is required for the move, simply confirm the prompt (as long as your user has admin authority this will work) I understand and appreciate the need to understand the security implications of enabling guest logons. That said, when windows is configured to allow them, and unRAID is configured to allow public access, there is NOT a requirement to configure windows credentials. I see a lot of discussion in these forums on this topic, and it does not serve the interests of the community to insist that windows credentials are required in a configuration where they are not. In fact, even when more locked-down security is the end goal, it is extremely useful (and frequently necessary) to be able to get things working initially without it.

Thanks for the info, I will have a read of the pdf, try some things, and report back. I can report on one thing that I did try already: Changing the windows "Enable insecure guest logons" polisy to "Enabled" instead of "Not Configured", and rebooting, had no effect on the problem I am experiencing (on one of my win11 laptops).

I have a Win11 machine that suddenly can no longer see any SMB shares on my unRAID server. All the shares are Export:Yes and Security: Public . The Win11 machine continues to connect to other devices (other than the unRAID server) on the network correctly. I have a second Win11 machine that continues to see the unRAID shares fine. On the failing machine, Windows Explorer can see the unRAID server, but if I click on it, it thinks for a while and then displays a "Windows cannot access \\LILY" message (The unRAID server has name LILY). There have been no changes to either of the Win11 machines, or the unRAID server, with the exception that I am using a new router (and a new subnet) to connect them all together. (I have moved to a new location.) I have verified the following settings are identical on both the win11 machines: * The network type is Private, and Network Discovery is turned on. * The "Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Lanman Workstation / Enable insecure guest logons" setting is "Not Configured" (which the help text says produces same result as Enabled) * Neither win11 machine has any Windows Credentials defined * Both win11 machines have workgroup set to "WORKGROUP" The unRAID machine Enable SMB setting is "Yes (Workgroup)", the Workgroup value is set to "MCNEIL_LAN", and Local master is set to "Yes" The unRAID server is running 6.12.4 I have attached a diagnostics log. The Win11 machine that connects to the shares correctly is named nancyL14 and has DHCP address 10.55.73.107, the failing Win11 machine is named billX1 and has address 10.55.73.104 I'm really stuck on this one, thanks in advance for any help. lily-diagnostics-20231222-1133.zip

I figured it out. I originally created the docker container using network type host, and when I later changed the value to bridge and updated, the update did not work entirely correctly (apparently). I deleted the container, created new, and now I can access the webgui.

I am unable to locally connect to the NPM webgui, and I am stuck trying to debug why. I have created the docker container with all the default values as shown below, but when I attempt to connect (using URL http://10.55.83.190:7818/ , I get a "unable to connect" in the web browser. The only thing in the NPM log directory is an error.log file that contains one line: 2022/12/23 09:25:43 [notice] 678#678: signal process started I haven't port forwarded ports 80 or 443 in my router yet, but that should not prevent accessing the NPM webgui? ...I am able to access another docker container webserver (photoprism) locally (at http://10.55.83.190:2342 ), so it shouldn't be firewall issues? (I am running a netgate router with pfSense)

The ...vdisk1.img did have boot order 1, but the windows install *.iso did not have a boot order of 2. I also scrubbed through all of the settings in the forms view, and found a few things that were not the same as they previously were. I don't know if it is user error when I pasted in the prior xml, or if the mapping from xml to forms is not 100% complete or correct. In any case, windows is now booting.

I had a hardware problem with a cache pool that I have now fixed. I am attempting to restore a windows 11 VM. I have restored the backup *.img file: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69793218560 Dec 8 16:34 /mnt/user/VM/Windows\ 10/vdisk1.img* I have created a new VM, and restored all the *.xml settings from the backup *.xml, while retaining the new values of <uuid>... and <nvram>... I also copied my backed up *.fd file to the location and name specified by those parameters: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root users 131072 Oct 17 09:58 /etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/5a177830-4640-6f85-fed8-c2d284bb8488_VARS-pure-efi-tpm.fd* When I start the VM and open a VM console from the unraid dashboard, this is what I see instead of windows booting: If I enter exit in the screen above, I get this: I don't know how to debug this further. Thanks in advance for help.

I tried having unraid format the unmountable drives, and that was not successful. The system log is now complaining about both disks in the pool: I powered down the machine, and the sata connector on the drive of interest was a little less than fully plugged in. After powering on, the format was successful. At this point, looks like the SATA cable connection was the problem. @JorgeB, thanks for your help, appreciate it!

I tried the recovery options in an attempt to create a backup, and was not successful. I then tried the command you posted, with the following result: root@lily:~# btrfs-rescue zero-log /dev/sdd1 -bash: btrfs-rescue: command not found I assumed the - between "btrfs" and "rescue" was a typo, and did this instead: root@lily:~# btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/sdd1 parent transid verify failed on 169771008 wanted 13150122 found 13150103 Couldn't read tree root ERROR: could not open ctree I then stopped the array, restarted it, and have attached the diagnostics. lily-diagnostics-20221208-1227.zip

The system log reports the following: Dec 1 16:51:36 lily root: mount: /mnt/cache: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. Dec 1 16:51:36 lily emhttpd: /mnt/cache mount error: No file system Dec 1 17:01:00 lily root: Fix Common Problems: Error: cache (TEAM_T253X1120G_AA000000000000004401) has file system errors () This disk is part of a two-disk cache pool. The disks are btrfs. unraid reports "Unmountable disk present". Since scrub requires the disk to be mounted, I don't know how to proceed. I have attached the output of tools/diagnostics . Thanks in advance for any help. lily-diagnostics-20221208-0900.zip

Thank you for the info. I tried disabling NAT, adding a static route as you suggest, and creating a new peer for my phone using the QR code method. Neither "Remote access to server" nor "remote access to LAN" is working, and all I am trying to do is bring up the unRAID GUI using the local IP address of the unRAID server. I am out of things to try. I am going to have to give openVPN a try. Thanks again for posting the method that is working for you.

I'm trying to set up WireGuard on my unRAID server, with the most basic access to get things debugged, and I am stuck. I am using a "Remote Access to Server" peer definition (screen shot of unRAID GUI settings attached.) I am using my Android phone as the peer connection (with wifi disabled), and used the QR capture method to create the tunnel configuration on the phone. When I attempt to connect to the local numberic IP of the unRAID server GUI on the phone, the browser is unable to connect. I have double and triple checked that the router is port forwarding to the correct local IP of the unRAID server, using UDP, and the port (51820) in the settings. Don't know what else to try, thanks in advance for any advice.

After doing a little research, I found any three of these commands will report the actual port in use: netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN ss -tulpn lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN

I recently upgraded to 6.8.2 . I found the SSH port number in the GUI under setttings / management access, changed it to something other than the default of 22, rebooted, and the new port number is working. But, /etc/services still reports the default port of 22? > cat /etc/services | grep -i ssh ssh 22/tcp #Secure Shell Login ssh 22/udp #Secure Shell Login sshell 614/tcp #SSLshell sshell 614/udp netconf-ssh 830/tcp #NETCONF over SSH netconf-ssh 830/udp #NETCONF over SSH x11-ssh 6010/tcp #Unofficial name, for convenience x11-ssh 6010/udp

I am attempting to switch from using a needo template to the lsio plex. I am using the CA interface to generate a "clean" template for lsio plex, and then add my customizations. I want to attempt to use my existing Plex database, so I have added a path that maps container path /config to host path /mnt/user/App/Plex/ . The problem is that when I attempt to add the container, it fails and I get a "Error response from daemon: Duplicate mount point '/config'." message. Apparently "under the covers" a mapping of /config to /mnt/user/appdata/plex is occurring, so the mapping that I am explicitly adding is seen as a duplicate mount point. Is there a way to work around this, or am I forced to use the /mnt/user/appdata/plex mapping?

I've attached my notes on setting up rsync. This should be a fairly complete "how-to". readme_rsync.txt

I ended up implementing a sync of array data between machines at two different houses using scripts and cron jobs based on the rsync command. I am using the bandwidth limit feature of rsync, as well as QOS on my routers, so that the sync does not interfere with the "normal" use of the network at each house. This approach is for the data only, and does not cover the unRAID OS or plugins, but having "just" the data sync is a huge benefit. The mirroring of my media libraries at my second home, and off-site backup of critical data are both very useful/valuable. Because my bandwidth is somewhat limited at my houses (12dn/5up at primary residence, 8dn/1up at second home), turning the bandwidth used for the sync, as well as using QOS on the routers is a critical part of having a scheme that does not consume the available network entirely when it is desired to use the network for other "normal" uses. I can certainly see that such a sync feature would be a great feature to add to unRAID down the road , but when the sync is remote, and bandwidth is limited, such a feature would have to have lots of option settings (and disclaimers to the users about potential issues) to produce the desired result.

Of course not, but that is not the point. Is your point is that as long as the quality is good, then limetech is absolved of any accountability for missing their target dates by a significant amount? What do you think is the maximum amount of schedule miss for which Limetech should have no accountability? Three months? Six months? A year? How late before you think Limetech customers are entitled to at least point out that customer expectations (set by limetech) have not been met? I design computer hardware for a living, so I fully understand the difficulties and complexities of product development. As a customer of limetech, I am trying to make plans based on what limetech has provided for their target dates, and it is appropriate to point out the significant gap between limetech's targets and what has been delivered. For limetech employees who might be reading this, I don't think the schedule slippage has reached the point where you have significantly damaged your credibility with respect to target dates. Not yet anyway.

I have a friend who is a long-time unRAID user who gave me his opinion several months ago that I should abandon unRAID because the development progress is so slow. I decided to wait and see, and I sure couldn't make much of an argument back to him right now, based on the last 5 months: 6/28 jonp: "unRAID 6 to be released Q3 2014. That’s right folks, we are going to be releasing a final version of unRAID 6 in the upcoming quarter." 9/29: beta v610a released, the last release we have seen to-date 10/7 I made the following post in the unRAID Project Roadmap Announcement thread, (which was not locked at that time): "Since we are now in 4Q, I am wondering what the probable date is for the first v6 production release, which was previously projected to happen in 3Q. Could someone at Limetech comment? If you like, you can just respond and assign a % probability to each of the following choices (the idea is that the sum of the four percentages assigned adds up to 100): a) any day now b) definitely by end 4Q14 c) 1Q15 d) no predictions, it's taking a lot longer than we thought" I never got an answer from anyone at Limetech to that post, but jonp did respond to the general concern on 10/20: 10/20 jonp: "Quite simply, more frequent updates to you guys is something we need to do and we are aware of that. I can't speak to all the details right now, but you're about to see that kick into high-gear. We need a little more time to finish the prep, but seriously, you guys are in for some real treats this week ;-)." 11/1 jonp: "The next beta release is any day now. We are very close and just working on the final touches before we get it out." 11/12 jonp: "I do not have a release date for the next beta yet, but we are getting VERY close."

If anyone has the text console working under IPMI, perhaps you can point me in the right direction: I am able to get the KVM console to work without any problems, but the text console displays a running stream of garbage characters. This is true whether I invoke the text console from IPMIview, or invoke it from a web browser. I have tried all speed settings, without any effect. I am running JAVA 8 update 25 on the client I am connecting with, and IPMI firmware 1.42, Bios 2.00, and unRAID v6-10a on the X10SL7. I do have SOL enabled in the bios (obviously, or the KVM console would not have worked). I read here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27927.0 that enabling serial port console redirection in the BIOS, and updates to /etc/inittab and /etc/securetty are NOT required, but I tried all those anyway(with the values shown below) just in case, but no luck. echo "s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS1 115200" >> /etc/inittab echo "ttyS1" >> /etc/securetty The reason for wanting to use the text console is to get access to copy/paste.

I now have the motherboard up and running (I am building an unRAID v6 machine). I will answer my questions, this should be useful to others: The motherboard has a ASPEED ASP2400 BMC that supports IPMI. The default BIOS settings have the BMC assigned to LAN port 1, and DHCP enabled for the BMC MAC. The BMC has a separate MAC from the normal functional MAC for LAN port 1. IPMIView is software that provides remote system management of smc machines that support IPMI. Power control, Hardware monitoring, SNMP trap receiver, text and graphical consoles, virtual keyboard, virtual media attach, BIOS update, and IPMI firmware update are some of the supported features. The software uses IPMI messages over the network to and from the BMC (Base Management Card) of a smc machine. IPMI messages are encapsulated in RMCP (Remote Management Control Protocol). Windows and Linux versions. Software and manual available for download here: ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/utility/IPMIView/ I have been using IPMIView on a windows machine, connected to the x10SL7 which is running unRAID, for a few hours, and it has been working great. This is a great app for managing the machine remotely. Most of the features in IPMIView described above are also available from a web server that is available at the BMC IP address (port 80). Things seem slower running on the web server, but it is very full featured. IPMICfg is a utility that runs on a smc machine and configures its IPMI features. Requires a BMC that supports IPMI. Windows and Linux versions are available. I have not tried to use IPMICfg. Software and manual (zip file) available here: ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/utility/IPMICFG/ Superdoctor is system management software that runs on a smc machine. It provides hardware and performance monitoring, remote control and administration. Full features are available on windows, Linix is restricted to pager and email alerts, SNMP, and hardware monitoring. There is a superdoctor_client that may be installed on a smc machine (in addition to the superdoctor program) that allows a remote machine to access superdoctor on the smc machine via a web browser interface. The superdoctor_client is available only for windows. I have not tried to use superdoctor. Software and manuals available here: http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/software/SuperDoctorIII.cfm

To all those who think that Limetech does not need to answer the question I have asked: your opinion is noted, but I do not agree with this opinion. Limetech announced a timetable. I am trying to make plans for my next build. I have asked the question in a friendly way, and in a manner that allows information to be communicated with greater complexity than just one simple end date. I have asked the question in a way that should make it clear I am not expecting quality to be sacrificed for schedule. It is entirely appropriate that Limetech provide an answer. I am an engineer by trade, and make my living designing computer hardware, and I fully understand the complexities of development. Those complexities do not provide immunity from accountability to customers.

Since we are now in 4Q, I am wondering what the probable date is for the first v6 production release, which was previously projected to happen in 3Q. Could someone at Limetech comment? If you like, you can just respond and assign a % probability to each of the following choices (the idea is that the sum of the four percentages assigned adds up to 100): a) any day now b) definitely by end 4Q14 c) 1Q15 d) no predictions, it's taking a lot longer than we thought

PhAzE, thank you for all your work in making the plugins available. I am using the Plex plugin on v5, and it is working nicely. Anyone, I am on the verge of building a new server, and am trying to understand what is available/working in v6 beta, and evaluating how to proceed. Are there any other guides or lists of other plugins and/or scripts that are confirmed to work for V6? I am looking just for the basics: unMenu, email notification, screen, parity check, preclear. come to mind. (Not sure what is part of the base O/S for v6 ?) I have been digging around a lot, and am getting lost with all the changes going on. I know that any application can be run virtualized in a Docker container, but I want to get myself boot strapped into v6 with just some basics so I can explore and learn some more.....Perhaps I am not searching for the right things, but I have been searching a lot and reading a lot, and am not finding this "getting started with v6" info that I need.
