For roughly the last month, maybe two months, I've notice that Parity Checks have started producing errors. The error count started at 9; which point I checked parity again and it was still 9 errors. A period of time later, maybe a week, I checked again and it had found more errors. As the weeks passed, and paranoid-checking the number keeps increasing. I just now read the wiki, and I now understand it's an incremental counter. However, what has me spooked is this hasn't been error'ing-out in the past.
I have run extended SMART self-tests on all my drives - all drives Completed without error. To the best of my knowledge I have not experienced an unclean shutdown. The system is on a UPS, but is not tied in with USB control (Tripplite unit not an APC).
Per another forum post, I tried running a Parity Check without correcting errors, but the error count was higher then previous check. Can parity get so far behind in sync that it becomes "spoiled?" Should I shutdown my system, yank out my two parity drives and zero-wipe them, and then have Unraid rebuild my parity? Is there an S.O.P. instructions I've missed and should go read?
Any help and advise would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Any thoughts on creating a container for this? https://github.com/upfiring/upfiring-update/releases
I'm presently working on a rough build, based on Ubuntu - because that's what I've been able to figure out, so far. I'm not sure I like it, seems to have lots of extras, but I want to make something that works first, then worry about making a slim-lined version. The image is weighing in at 1.43GB; when I compare that to some of the other gui-images I've downloaded it's fairly similar in size. I still have a number of items to test and work out before I release it.
For the curious folks, I found and modifying, this docker: https://github.com/ConSol/docker-headless-vnc-container as the GUI-platform.
And a screen shot of the docker, first build that runs (still needs testing).
-
Upgraded from 6.6.5 to 6.6.6 without issue.
Log file looks clean; up-time of ~12 hours, so far.

However, I have more than 1000 mkv file embedded

Ouch, I mean nice collection.
Still not a Docker app, and not sure if it will do batch-conversion.

Threadripper users would also benefit from NUMAD
I would assume the board would have to support NUMA for this to be effective? From past posts I know my board doesn't have this option (that I've found yet) so my TR is all lumped together. Then again this hasn't effected me that much, or at least to a noticeable degree, on my "daily-driving."
Looks interesting/cool for the folks with the know-how.

I didn't find one, or know of one directly. Could try something like https://subtitletools.com/convert-to-srt-online to convert your subtitles and then use Handbrake for the rest. Haven't used that particular site before, but was second hit on web search.
Perhaps this will work for you?

MB vendors QVL, Though that can be a tall order, I admit.
I've found Kingston HyperX modules to be a great default product to start with, if you have no others.

I've heard good things about that board over all. If you want an alternative motherboard, a few community members and myself are using ASUS PRIME X399-A. I've been very satisfied with my motherboard's performance.

My current list looks like:
CIFS shares, couchpotato, Sonarr, Radarr, Transmission, OpenVPN, Plexmediaserver.
Looks like fun.

any last minute advice folks would give me a relative novice before I slap it all together?
Since it's all new to you my advice would be to compose a list tasks/goals to where you want to be (Unraid configuration and software running). This way you don't get frustrations and/or expectations too high. It might also help you focus on what questions you may need to ask if you run into problems.
Might be something like:
- Initial setup and configuration.
- Get your Unraid system on your network.
- What do you want your User shares to look like? Configure these.
- Importing / copying data.
- Can I see my data on my network?
- What plugins interest me? Install and setup.
- What Docker Applications interest me? Install and setup.
- . . .
At least that's what I like to do when I find myself in the relative novice category.
-
You might be interested in ControlR mobile app, which provides stats and controls for Unraid, but I'm not sure it's what you are asking/looking for.
Hope that's helpful, if not at least interesting.

From naughty-v6.6.4 to v6.6.5 no issues. The initialization of array apps and the VM seemed faster then previous version (.4), but the observation is strictly qualitative.
Thank you Developers.
-
No errors updating from version 6.6.3.
Thank you for everyone's hard work.

Just as an FYI, I updated my parity from a WD Blue drive to a WD Gold drive; I saw my parity checks go down in, "time taken to check." I don't have exact numbers anymore (forgot), but I want to say Blue drive would take roughly 14 hours, and Gold drive takes roughly 12.5 hours (I'll have to run again and check, but it is less than blue). Oh, and for scale, my parity is 4TB.

Sorry what do you mean by rules? Other then forwarding ports for torrents in Transmission there's nothing particular I put in.
That's what Jonathanm was referring to, what ports on the router-firewall have been opened up and forwarded to your Unraid machine and it's hosted services (such Docker containers, virtual machines, and anything else). As an example, you mentioned your Transmission service.

Have you tried setting up a new network location and test? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202480
I know this is one of Apple's quick-fix tries for networking issues on software level, and it's not that intrusive of a fix.

Do you have any recommendation for an programm or free model website for beginner in 3D design ?
I don't have a 3D-printer, but my co-worker who does recommended website: https://www.thingiverse.com/ in response to your question.
My co-worker has also used, https://www.yeggi.com/ , https://pinshape.com/ , https://www.myminifactory.com/ , but has not given me any program recomendations.

This will not work! You cannot rebuild onto a drive that is smaller than the one it is replacing.
My bad, I was thinking it would because the parity is larger, but I guess there's some zero's being calculated.
Sorry for the bad information - my head is dropped down in shame.
-
Why not pre-clear the 4TB disk (or not); remove the faulting 5TB drive - this puts the array into "error" and emulates the contents of 5TB drive; then add the 4TB drive into place of missing drive in the array and then the array rebuilds the data from parity.
This would keep all of your data and your user shares would remain untouched.

@Jcloud, please tell us about the support of the v3 protocol with this container.
https://storj.io/blog/2018/10/introducing-the-storj-v3-white-paper/
Well the upstream code hasn't changed in six months, my additions are simply shell script code for the entrypoint. From what I can tell v3 protocol is still being developed, otherwise why blog about a whitepaper? If/when v3 becomes live I'll see if they change/update this container or just build a new one - if they update the container, things should update easy enough. If storj makes a new v3 container I'd look into making a template, and/or repo for Unraid support.
Fundamentally my container is fork of https://github.com/zannen/docker-storjshare-cli.
I don't think the container presently does support v3, but when the storj team (or 3rd-party) releases a v3-storj client or container I'd be happy to look into it.
If people find it before I do, welcome track me down.

Speaking in general, but there's always making a metal bracket, or 3D-printed shim, such that you could mount it to the to fan mounts and mount the 2.5" bays connect to the piece. Unfortunately I don't know of a specific product to do what you would like to do.

As i understand motherboard is the thing which might not work out of the box?
Right, with VMs there are a couple of hurtles to clear for it to be, a "good board,"
- Does it have a Marvell chipset for sata/wifi? If so this will need to be disabled, as Marvell chips are notorious for causing problems. Therefore the chipset would either need to be disabled, to prevent errors, or move onto a different board choice.
- What does it's IOMMU list look like? Very important for running more than one VM, as this determines how flexible, or granular, you can get in provisioning hardware bits, and perhaps more important then my bullet-point-1. You'd have to weigh the pro's and cons of the board -- is it worth it to you?
- (I consider this one) What (how many cores / how much ram per vm) or how many simultaneous VMs want to run, and what is my budget? This is more of a price-cost and resource consideration thought -- which you've already addressed.
However, be vigilant, there are plenty of devices which may not work out of the box. Based one your OP I think the motherboard will be your main hurdle.
Good luck, I hope this information is helpful to you.

will this work? which is better ?
Valid and important questions, but very difficult to answer directly -- unless someone else has experience with the same motherboard setup you're planning to use. Out of curiosity have you tried to search the forums for the two mainboards, to see if anyone has chimed in with them? (I haven't presently, so I don't know what's out there, but this is one of my first-steps)
I noticed you have a GPU, kb, mouse for Unraid - have you considered running Unraid headless? Just a thought.
Also, for technical reasons, you'll want player1 and player2's keyboard and mice to be different models and/or products -- otherwise software gets confused between the devices (there are work-arounds to this such as passing a USB controller to VM). This last one is more of an FYI.

I saw this today, I don't know if this is an issue with Unraid GUI-boot but I figured it couldn't hurt posting.

would I still be able to use bitlocker on the Windows VM drives? Perhaps pass through the TPM module?
Good questions, which I'm not sure I know your answer, but I'd imagine you could run bitlocker in the VM passing through a USB drive with the key. Probably want to setup the VM first; pass-through the USB thumb drive; then enable bitlocker and test.
As for TPM module, I don't know, if it has a PCI address it
couldmight be passed -- then again would this sort of encapsulation (VM) break the built-in trust?
can't extract all .... 
[Solved] Parity Check error counter continues to grow. Cause for concern?

Mostly correcting, but the last one was non-correcting as I thought that was suppose to reset the count. Some sort of bug... I should try and find that forum post.
I don't overclock, and the RAM is using its XMP profile; system has been stable, but I start a memtest after posting and report back.
I re-read the wiki, looks like I misread that.
