CyberSkulls

This is honestly something I have been asking for for years. As @ashman70 stated, if it's a technical limit that unraid has, then so be it. I can't say that I've ever seen other OS's struggle with this limit, so I'm not sure its a technical limit vs a LT imposed limit. I've also said for years I would have been happy to buy a Pro Plus or Ultra or whatever license to get rid of the limit. While I'm now running 12TB drives, it would have been a hell of a lot cheaper to buy an upgraded license rather than expensive larger drives. I'm not talking hundreds of dollars cheaper, I'm talking thousands of dollars cheaper. As to not wanting that much data (or drives) being protected by 1 or 2 parity drives, that's just personal preference. I no longer even run parity drives on my array. At $400/drive and having a main and backup server, dual parity on those machines would be a $1,600 expense. If a drive dies, I replace that drive, and copy the missing data from my backups. So if that was a real concern, give us multiple arrays with each array protected by it's own set of parity disks. Cost issue solved, scaling issue solved. We get what we need, LT makes money, everyone wins.

This always annoyed the crap out of me too so when I do a clean install I make sure I go in and turn off VMs and Docker prior to adding a single disk so it doesn't create those shares. So maybe a solution is to have VM's and Docker set to off by default and let the end user enable them if they so choose rather than assuming everyone wants those shares by having them on by default.

I also never restart when adding a drive. I just stop the array, pop the new drive in wait a couple of seconds for unRAID to see it, assign it to a slot and off and running again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just an FYI, I removed my server and tried the auto find feature again and this time it found it without issue. So I know that's going to be very difficult to track down as it's not 100% repeatable 100% of the time. Now quit reading these forum posts and go add some features to this app that will blow our minds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was gonna steal your banner then I noticed it had the blue mark of the devil on it...

I just purchased for iOS as well. Not that I needed it but like others, I wanted to support the development of this app. I wasn't able to add anything automatically but typing in just the IP and nothing else other than the previous filled port 80, it found it right away. I'm running unRAID 6.2.1 and App Ver 2.1.2 on iOS 10.0.1. Other than that, lookin good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like it. I'm now using your crop on a couple of my unRAID servers. Thanks!!

As simple as that sounds, I grabbed a couple images from this old thread last week to do that very same thing. Figured some users would have some pretty cool banners that were just off the wall.

Looks like Norco 4220's and Norco 2008's?

I didn't mean LT would do anything to cluster, I was referring anyone else who comes up with something. For instance with PLEX, their developers have no desire to make it easier to run multiple PLEX servers but some wild members have started to code their own add in to do just that. So you never know what kind of coders are hiding in the unRAID community that might be working on a crazy thing such as this

Gonna have to follow this thread in hopes it gets more active. I wanted to do the same thing with plex a while back and harness the transcoding power of multiple boxes but received the same replies as the OP about not really possible. Would love to see unRAID have a feature to cluster multiple boxes as a processing node.
