As I understand pfsense is a standalone OS to serve as a router right? Not really sure how that would work. My main issue at the moment is that Windows is the most straightforward way to enable the internet connection, so if I need to now setup the weird VPN in pfsense it may be even harder to try and figure out.

Hi All, I have seen any other post about this, but could have missed it due to the search terms. Is it possible to get the server to use an internet connection from a VM? My server can't currently connect to the internet because it requires a VPN on the network it is connected to, but I have not been able to find a way to install the app (Pulse Secure) for it. It's settings also seem to be too different to be able to use OpenVPN and such as on a Ubuntu VM I can get it to connect via PulseSecure but not OpenVPN. I have been physically moving the server to a regular network with full internet connection in order to update it's plugins and the OS but it is becoming a huge chore and it means I am frequently outdated and miss all the notifications. I have a VM running windows with the appropriate settings and app to allow it to connect to the internet but don't know how I can get the server to use that. Thanks for any assistance. Cheers,

I found the problem, I needed to add after append in in the syslinux.cfg which is accessible by clicking on "Flash" under the Main tab Forgot that it used to be there and it got nuked when reseting the USB. For future reference though, is there no GUI option for this?

Thanks that seemed to have worked. Shares, users and VMs all showing up and I can access the shares fine. However for some reason my VM which used to start no longer does. I get the following error: I remember seeing at one point where people were suggesting PCIe ACS override to fix this or some override option I can't find again. PCIe ACS override doesn't seem to be the issue as when reading up on it, its more for when your devices are not in separate IOMMU groups but mine are. Any idea what may be wrong? kerrigan-diagnostics-20170903-1256.zip

Hi All, Does anyone know how to migrate your settings from an old install of UNRAID(v6.2.4) to a fresh UNRAID(v6.3.5) install? In particular I would like to at least migrate the disk, user and shares setup; if possible migrating the plugins and VM would be great as well but those I can setup again. I have tried copying the config folder over but non of my shares show up and I cannot add a new share. Disks, Users, VMs and plugins seem to be recognised fine. I then tried again without plugins and without the shares.cfg but still the same thing but this time my disk setup was not loaded(I know the specific slots though so got that setup and I can browse to the folders through "Main" tab). Diagnostics attached from this attempt. FYI as a background I am doing this because my last install of UNRAID(v6.2.4) has been acting odd and probably corrupted slightly. There was a botched upgrade(kernel panic) to v6.3.4 via the plugins tab and I had to revert by copying the "previous" folder syslinux and bzroot etc files. Powerdown buttons no longer work with 404 error and I have to manually stop the array and powerdown in order to shut it down, reboot does not work either. The entire system hangs when a VM gets stuck as well and the webgui will be unavailable. kerrigan-diagnostics-20170902-1626.zip

SMART for the Seagate looks good, but healthy SMART does not always equal healthy disk, I would replace power/sata cables and switch sata port, if it fails again it’s probably the disk. Very hard to predict, I personally don’t use any disk with previous bad sectors, as I believe they are much more likely to get more, but many do and it can be fine for years. Thanks very much for your response and sorry for the massive delay in a response. Unfortunately had no time to work on my UNRAID machine for awhile. So it seems like it was a cable issue in the sense of some interference from an old hot GTX275 that sat nearby squeezing the cables or just being slightly loose with that card in the way of the cables. I have now run the machine for over 3weeks with the longest run being about 10days with no issues after I removed the GTX275. I am pretty sure it is not a power issue as the machine is only drawing 200W at load. With regards to the bad sectors, I see. After more reading I do gather that in general they do tend to be more unstable after 1 but at the same time have seen manufacturers not accepting a drive for failure solely due to bad sectors. I'll try to see if I can get it RMAed, but will just keep an eye on it. It did randomly obtain multiple zone errors again so yeah it is probably close to kicking it.

;-) BTW, yes, this does work with virtual disk images for VMs as well ;-). And the time it takes to create a reflink copy is measured in seconds, even with a 35GB+ size vdisk. What was even more surprising is that this worked, even though I disabled COW for my virtual disk image file. So I was intrigued by this notion and decided to read into it and test it out. But according to the info on the archlinux wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Btrfs#Copy-On-Write_.28CoW.29 in the tip) and a few other links coming up in google, it doesn't work with COW disabled, it requires COW to work. I have tested this on my cache drive as well. When COW has been properly disabled I get this error message when trying to do a cp--reflink cp: failed to clone ‘/mnt/cache/VM/2.fastq.gz’ from ‘Test.fatq.gz’: Invalid argument It will still create a 0byte file with the name you tell it to create, but when you go to read the file with say zcat in my case it comes up empty. I have tested this on COW enabled folders and it works as per the example but I don't know how to see the amount of space it actually uses. Am I missing some crucial step here?

page3 have you managed to get it working? I am not sure if I am missing something, but how are we meant to use this docker? When I start it, it just stops right away. Looking at it as well, it seems like it doesn't have the webUI that a lot of the other common dockers like Plex etc have which to my understanding means you don't have an interface to interact with it. I see mentions of some examples etc on the dockers page but have no idea where to type that nor can I find the ini file which is meant to store configuration. Is there an advance guide or documentation to using dockers for cases like these where it has not been properly setup with a template? Most of the guides I have been able to find seem to be for the more typical scenario.

Hi all, I have recent completed my build of unRAID using the parts listed in my signature using old parts mostly and have been testing it out. I mainly use it to share data on the array and run a Win10 VM with GPU and USB pass-through. I would like a bit of help/input/advice from more knowledgeble users on the health of my drives. In particular my Seagate 2 TB drive (ST2000DL003-9VT166 6YD1LNKA) has been reported as faulty twice now. Both times on the webgui it has the read error alert in red then the orange disk is missing error. The disk will then fail to show under disk and I can't see its attribute or get SMART reports. Upon rebooting the disk will show up fine with the SMART data reporting. First time this happen I thought I lost the SMART report and forgot to get the relevant files needed so I have only posted the files from the most recent failure. I did forget to saved the logs before again so I grabbed the saved syslog and trimmed a large block of AMD-Vi: Event logged [iO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:13.0 domain=0x001c address=0x00000000bffdee80 flags=0x0020] so that I could attached it. I believe the failure started from Jan 22 13:03:39 Kerrigan kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen as the last I was on it before then, it was fine and when I came back at ~14:20 it was showing the error and did the reboot. When the drive doesn't appear this is the SMART report I get : smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-4.1.13-unRAID] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-13, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: /2:0:0:0 Product: User Capacity: 600,332,565,813,390,450 bytes [600 PB] Logical block size: 774843950 bytes scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=47 offset=50 bd_len=46 scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=47 offset=50 bd_len=46 >> Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. Now I am thinking that this is more a cable/power issue as the drive was precleared with no errors before being used, although only once. But since then it has been through 2 full parity checks when I powered down the machine through the button as I could not get a feed when I was running with the single AMD GPU before. I have also done a short and extended SMART test after rebooting following both failures which both passed. After the first failure as well it rebuilt fine and passed a parity check after that as well. So in terms of doing a lot of reads and writes to the whole drive it seemed to handle it fine but it has errored out at seemingly random times after running for a while. From the SMART stats as well it didn't seem to be in bad health from what I can tell besides the crazy high age (older than manufacture date), the command timeouts and some values being close to the thresholds but haven't been reported as important for hard disk failure. The command timeout appeared after each time I opened the box up and replugged the power cables without turning off the power supply, so I do not think it is a real error? The command timeout error also used to be reported in a orange notice but has since stopped in 6.1.7 which I assume to be default behaviour. Can anyone see a potential issue/clue somewhere that I am completely missing or is unable to interpret? With my two other WD drives they are also pretty old in age and have some values approaching thresholds with crazy high "193 Load_Cycle_Count" values which I read are common for WD Greens. I have since used wdiddle3 to change the park time to 5mins so hopefully it will slow it down now and be fine as apparently WD said it will be fine up to 1million even though the spec sheet says 300,000. WMC1T1726117 did have multiple "200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate" and "197 Current_Pending_Sector" but after preclearing they are all gone now. I did hot plug this drive in a clumsy manner (taking 3 tries to plugin the data and power cable) before preclearing so I am not sure if that might be what cause those issues? Give these two have been pretty much stable so far, could I say that they don't have an problem that may lead to imminent failure soon? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks. EDIT: Think I have marked this as resolved correctly, please let me know if I did it incorrectly syslog-20160122-141918mod.txt kerrigan-diagnostics-20160122-1432.zip preclear_rpt_WD-WMC1T1726117_2016-01-01.txt preclear_start_WD-WMC1T1726117_2016-01-01.txt

Dual parity is expected to be available in v6.2. I believe tayshun12 was more asking if for example you need 1 parity drive if you have 3 drives and 2 parity drives if you have 6 drives instead. To my knowledge, no you do not, at the moment the single parity drive protects the whole array which is why it can only tolerate a single disk failure. The only requirement I have read is that the parity drive has to be as large as the largest disk in the array otherwise it will not have space to store the parity data. Also in the disk management menu there is no option that I can see to change the number of parity drives and it only shows 1. Please correct me if I am wrong as I am a new user myself.

Thanks for the fix dlandon, was looking into this plugin to see if my files were still on a disk I didn't want to include in the array and have rebuilt yet. I can help with testing this but I am new to UNRAID and can't find the log to check for the extra entries. Also with the other issue you mentioned, does the SMB mounted device need to be setup in any particular way? If you can guide me through what info you need reported and what needs to be done, will be happy to help. Click on the Help button on the main menu bar and you'll see the line about the log. The issue with the smb unmount is when stopping the array. It was posted in another thread about this. Mount an smb device and thn stop the array and see if the array stops. You should be prepared to go to a command line to shutdown if necessary. A better way might be to install the open files plugin and use it to manage the array stop. I have pasted the log below and it doesn't seem like there are any duplicates there. ODIN is my UnRAID server and I did attempt mounting my flash drive as an SMB several times. Finally mounted a SMB share from another computer on the network. No issues stopping the array while the SMB was mounted either. Edit:I just read you fixed the issue. From my testing it looks like if I select AutoMount the SMB share will mount and unmount with the array. The only potential issue is that I cant seem to disable AutoMount after enabling it, if I click anywhere after deselecting AutoMount it just turns back on after the page loads. mount error(6): No such device or address Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) Sun Jan 17 23:17:27 SGT 2016: SMB share found with the following attributes: ip='ODIN', user='TesetSMB', pass='*******', share='TestSMB', device='//ODIN/TestSMB', target='', fstype='cifs', size='0', used='0', avail='0', mountpoint='/mnt/disks/ODIN_TestSMB' Sun Jan 17 23:17:27 SGT 2016: Mounting SMB share '' ...
