Okay more details Doing the deletes from a separate computer running Windows 7 64 bit and mapping an unRaid share as R:\ with the command line “net use R: \\storage\recordings /persistent:no” NOT doing the deletes via ssh, telnet or on the server itself I was considering writing a script to generate all the possible three digit character extensions and seeing how many survive Might download D again to do that i have files with 12 different extensions only 10 make it to the recycle bin may be an unRaid problem, may be a samba recycle problem, may be a plug-in problem, may be an old unRaid flash drive needs wiping and starting over problem *.txt and *.bmp are disappearing when deleted over samba from a Windows 64 bit professional computer on said share have stopped and disabled the recycle bin and deleted the smb-extra.conf file a few times before trying to enable it and configure it again and clicking restart in the plugin a few times some files go to the recycle bin some dont only a problem I have seen since upgrading to 6.4.1 but I never looked for it before tried to clarify, Bobby

Hello dlandon, it seems that on unraid 6.4.1 that my recycle bin is dropping a few file types without 'recycling' them *.txt, *.bmp, etc. I'm not sure how many others, will try to figure out if it's dropping any files that I really need it to save and will start googling if it should keep those ones Thanks for your time, Bobby

Hello, updates at end When I upgraded to unRaid 6.4.0 from 6.2 my manual entries in /boot/config/smb-extra.conf stopped working and just realized today. I've installed the plugin, enabled it and even tried the configure script and restarting samba a few times ... I'm still not getting any .Recycle.Bin files showing up /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/recycle.bin/scripts/configure_recycle_bin /usr/local/sbin/samba restart Is there any further things I can check to get the Recycle Bin working again? Thanks for your time, Bobby ps - now it's deleting to /mnt/user/recordings/.Recycle.Bin/mnt/user/recordings/.Recycle.Bin/computer_name/* or R:\.Recycle.Bin\mnt\user\recordings\.Recycle.Bin\computer_name\* now I need to shorten that to \\storage\recordings\.Recycle.Bin\computer_name\* in the Recycle Bin Parameters Box I have "%P/.Recycle.Bin/%m"

Hello Squid I currently have the Ransomware Bait File Placement set to "root only of shares" and Stop Array on Detection set to "Yes" With these settings every works as wanted and gives me greatly needed protection Thank you very much for this plugin I was curious about excluding more directories ... I have "two" giving me some consternation one is of the form /mnt/user/*share*/.Recycle.Bin and another is /mnt/user/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes/ When I empty the .Recycle.Bin manually the Ransomware Plugin can trigger ... (so I should stop it before and restart after) as well as when iTunes tries to automatically add the files in it's automatically add directory. But I want to splatter my arrays directories with way more Bait files and wasn't sure how hard this would be to change / add? Thanks for your time, Bobby

Hello I was curious if there was a way to write the partition table for a disk (/dev/sdg) back to the disk from the kernel after most likely overwriting it. I was working on my backups array and trying to format a few disks via unassigned devices that had been precleared. Unassigned devices was greying out the format button for those drives so I was going to log into the server and delete the partition then format the drive from the command line. I putty'd into my media server instead of my backups server and deleted partition one on /dev/sdg and wrote it to disk. Once I realized my mistake I formatted a spare drive and mounted it on the media server and then started copying the files from disk10 - /dev/sdg over to it Is there a way to fix (rewrite) the partition table? or should I continue with the file copy? Thanks for your time, Bobby Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdg: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdg1 64 3907029167 3907029104 1.8T 83 Linux Command (m for help): d Selected partition 1 Partition 1 has been deleted.

Hello SomeWhatLost on my system I needed to set the VNC video card driver to Cirrus to get Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit to install click to enable "advanced view" go down to "VNC Video Driver " select "Cirrus" from the list instead of "QXL (Best)" Hopefully this helps, Bobby

one of the The Amazing Show Starring James Randi (x4) and one of the Weird Things (x3) podcasts were the ones that seem to be the ones that were doing it I understand what you meant now ... look for the timestamps in Windows Explorer of the blank names sort the directories in mc by timestamp and find the matching timestamp / directory Thanks for your help, Bobby

I tried this first find . -name "*[<>\\|?*]*" and it didn't give me any names then I realized ... directories find . -type d -name "*[<>\\|?*]*" still nothing listing I tried find . type -d -maxdepth 1 | sort >podcasts.directory.find.txt which gives me podcasts.directory.find.txt I've also attached an ls -l as podcasts.directory.ls.txt I'm using this webpage as the source of possible illegal names https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247 I'm going to print the files and try checking off each directory to see if there is anything missing from one of the listings comparing the windows directory listing to the mc listing to the printouts. podcasts.directory.find.txt podcasts.directory.ls.txt

Hello I'm getting a recursive directory listing from an unraid share in Windows Explorer on Windows 7 64bit Professional I was curious how to fix this in midnight commander it doesn't appear to list the directory recursively but I may be missing it Thanks for your time and help Bobby here is a picture if I click on the arrows it goes down more and more levels

This may not help with the data recovery, I had an XFX Pro modular power supply that had the wires swapped going into the molex connector. When I tried plugging it in to an empty backplane, the backplane got cooked and the computer would power up and reset endlessly. Now I check they all match before I use them Norcotek replaced the backplane for me, but XFX never replaced any of the modular wiring for the power supply. When a coworker without a surge protector came to me after a bout of lightning ... I helped them with finding replacement controllers off ebay and when they swapped the eeprom it worked long enough for recovery It was our Maintenance Supervisor ...

Hello, I'm getting an error every few days on my array which is unraid 6.1.6 Couldn't watch /mnt/disk14: No such file or directory in my array I have parity and then /dev/md1 through /dev/md13 and then /dev/16 I don't have disks in the /dev/md14 and /dev/md15 slots after this I can't access the WebGui or the array via samba from any other machines I also get a few hundred /usr/sbin/smbd -D under various users no commands will shut down the array /boot/samba is missing or is that from a previous version? With the powerdown package installed it says powerdown initiated but then it does nothing and the array "continues running" If I type diagnostics in a putty session it says collecting diagnostics but never completes Would this error be from a plugin? What would be the easiest way to track this down? I've disabled 1/3 of plugins at this point ... if it crashes in another few days I'll try 1/3 more My array has mostly resierfs drives and it seems to be after bunker runs on particular drives ... Thanks for your time, Bobby

Hello MikeW I haven't bought or tested one of these yet My main purpose with getting one would be for putting multiple Hauppauge HVR-2250 cards into a VM but if your Radeon 6450 GPU is working on a PCI-E1 slot ... I'd be curious if they might work attached to something like this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-1-to-3-PCI-express-1X-slots-Riser-Card-PCIe-x1-to-external-3/32292624969.html I can't remember the specific search terms I used, but several months ago I found a few of these that were similar on AliExpress not sure if it's a blind alley or useful one Bobby

docker exec -it container-name bash will give you a bash session inside a container. Thank you trurl, this will help me see what kind of a mess I tried to mix into Sparklyballs good work

Hello Sparklyballs, Thanks you for this great container I'm hoping this is the right place to ask this ... I'm trying to do some scripting to convert the way convert.sh works (The Question) I was curious if I can SSH into the container so that I can see what my script is actually doing? or would recreating a similar virtual machine be easier? (The Endless rambling of a sleep deprived night shift worker) I'm trying to start compression off when a file gets dropped into the Watched-Folder, (already set up to do this) It selects the largest file to start compressing from the Watched-Folder Compresses it with my settings (using my old style two pass settings, can't get same size / quality from RF) When done it moves the uncompressed file from the Watched-Folder to the /Output folder beside the compressed file It then Selects the next file which is the largest from the /Movies directory and moves it to the Watched-Folder Where it hopefully starts again from the top ... repeating until the /Movies and the /Watched-Folder are both empty When I'm in Windows 7 and move a bunch of files to the /Movies folder (copies slow) then drag them into the watched folder (fast copy) it only ever seems to kick off compression on the first video. Each first video I drop in converts, but not the rest.

Weird Drive Firmware / BIOS / OS interactions I had a glitch on a SSD in my HTPC's boot drive (OCZ) Everything was fine I run Hard Disk Sentinel on all my windows systems enabled the AHCI drivers in XP no reallocated sectors rebooted Windows loaded and my HTPC came up and I had 2048 reallocated sectors on the drive There are drive firmware glitches but your drive sounds very near replacement time. if it were in one of my unRaids ... I'd check the Warranty (probably over) ... I'd start with three preclears ... and then run Spinrite on it ... replace the drive in the near future if the above doesn't make things appear dramatically better Bobby

Hello, I was curious if it would be possible to set how aggressive the default spin down delay is by the drive temperatures. I normally adjust my spin down delay default from summer to winter. In the Winter I set my default spin down delay to one hour and in the Summer I set it to 15 minutes. I don't know how hard this would be to set up or how much of a difference it would make. Thanks for you time, Bobby ps - glanced through the feature requests but didn't notice if this was already here

Hello, I bought a XFX modular (XPS-850W-BES) power supply last year and one of the molex connectors on the strand was wired in reverse to all others. (two molex connectors held side by side ... notches up ... had the colours in reverse order going to the pins yellow-black-black-red and red-black-black-yellow) So it may not have been anything you did. All black cables would not help in seeing that type of wiring error. Bobby

I got the new memory and replaced it ... all of it I had way too much trouble with the OCZ memory (bought one batch for my HTPC and returned to store bad ... bought another batch for my unRaid and returned to store bad ... tried to RMA the second batch that I returned a year ago when the first module of the three died now another of that batch is gone ... and I'm still waiting) the old memory was rated 1.65V and I had up to 1.75V at 800 Mhz and still erroring out above 4,100MB I was just hoping there was a lazy way as I have server cases stacked up without a rack and unRaid is on the bottom If I could have checked the first dimm and limited to that ... or first few GB ... Would the mem=2047 parameter work the same for memtest as it would for unRaid? (grab the same chunk of memory?) I've got to get these in a rack ... just looking for some inexpensive 20"+ shelves with a 45 pound capacity that would fit in a 30" deep 4 post rack ... fixed would be good on rails would be spectacular ... Thanks for everyone's time, Bobby

Hello, I was curious on unraid 5 final how do I enable samba logging? or how would I troubleshoot with wireshark? I am having trouble with samba blocking my windows 7.1 computers on large file transfers ... I've set all shares and disks public and tried it I've set all disks and shares secure and selected all users which need access to read/write ... I've run the new.perms untility multiple times ... alternatively where could I find a good samba troubleshooting tutorial? Happens with safemode and with plugins ... nothing lists in syslog so I was hoping I might find something in the samba logs smb-extra.conf # Debug logging information log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log log level = 3 max log size = 50 I add this and restart samba and I get 0 byte files for all my computers that have ip addresses and access unRaid.

kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x4a/0x4a Someone said that would be caused by plugins in another thread ... I rebooted and ran memtest and I'm getting errors around 4150MB to 4260MB I've tried ram speeds from ddr3-1333 down to ddr3-800 and the slower I run the memory the fewer the errors ... but I don't know how to slow it down more. Not sure how to figure out all the kludged memory settings. I was curious if I could use the mem=2047 parameter in the syslinux.cfg file to keep to the better stick (or better area of memory) without having to remove the bad stick. If I did this I would like to be able to test memory to make sure I'd be using the good memory. I have to disconnect all my HTPC connections to get into my unRaid currently ... I'd only like to have to do that once when I get the new memory and I still have to wait a few days for replacement memory ... Thanks for any time and help, Bobby

Hello, I've had my second Antec Truepower Trio power supply die in the last few months. It's target this time was my unRaid 4.7 server array this time. I don't want to migrate to unRaid 5.0 until I have time to sort out security models and three different computers with three different users accessing and modifying files in the same shares. Part of the fun is that some usernames on my Windows 7 64bit systems have usernames with upper and lower case in them. I wanted to know if there was a way to boot unRaid 4.7 without starting the array? I need to set a new configuration as the parity is probably trashed due to user error. I also need to add a new drives and would like to do it before having to stop samba and the array. Thanks for your time and help, Bobby

Hello I'm having fun with Rsync and locales?, or rsyncing files between an unRaid 4.7 array and a 5.0-16c array. Any files or directories named with extended characters are giving me these errors ... file has vanished: "/mnt/temporary1/misc/downloads/m3a-main/2012June/RMPrepUSB 2.0.811_Beta/LANG/RMPrepUSB_Espa_ol.pdf" file has vanished: "/mnt/temporary1/misc/downloads/m3a-main/2012June/RMPrepUSB 2.1.600_REL/LANG/Catal_.ini" if I putty in to the server via SSH I get one list of files with these errors ... if I enter a "screen" session in that SSH connection (screen -R disk1) ... in that session I get another list of files with file has vanished errors. I don't speak Spanish or Catalan? but if I need to use these programs I don't want them broken either. There are other media files I have from SageTV in English from a french station ...giving rsync problems. How do I sync up these drives? in the two separate boxes? I've tried --iconv=UTF-8 ... different files --iconv=UTF-16 failed : rsync error action not supported [sender] cannot convert filename: downloads/m3a-main/2012June/RMPrepUSB 2.0.811_Beta/LANG/RMPrepUSB_Espa\#361ol.pdf (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character) I would like to copy all files from four of twelve drives in the array (drives with varying degrees of smart errors) to my new array without braking the old array until I have to. (multizone error rates 6, 45 ... pending sectors 6, 140 the one with 6 has a really really slow spot - some files copying at less than 1MB/s) I would like to run Sprinrite on these problem drives later and then run them through a few preclears to see how good they are. The drives without any known problems I will end up just physically transferring to the new array. any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks for your time, Bobby

sorry DDR3 ... didn't check before I posted ... I don't currently have any ECC memory ... I'll check prices later
