Yea as @trurl said I'm not sure what you mean you don't use the appdata share. I use it i just purposely placed it on an unassigned disk and not my cache drive. This is why I'm quite confused about what's causing my issue.

From the lack of response I take it this is not common

I've been noticing that if I kick off a manual mover process that my Plex server becomes unresponsive until the mover is complete. Now normally this doesn't affect me because I have the mover scheduled to run once a day at 8am when I never use the server. However, I started to investigate why this was happening and it's not adding up. First off, none of my plex (and other dockers) appdata is on cache or my array drives (all appdata is on an SSD set as an unassigned disk). Also, the data that was being moved to the array was not being moved to the disk where the current media I was streaming was located. I saw nothing in the syslog other than the mover activity. My system setup is as follows: Array: 8x10TB WD Gold drives (dual parity) Cache: 1TB Micron 5100 PRO Enterprise SSD Appdata: 256GB Samsung NVMe SSD CPU: Xeon D-1541 RAM: 64GB I'm kind of at a loss as to why the mover would be having any type of performance impact on my Plex server.

Changed Status to Solved

I've not noticed this issue and I have 8-10 people on my server every night. Are you sure you have adequate free RAM to use for transcoding?

Anyone running two instances of Plex docker on the same Unraid server? Is it just as simple as setting the second container up with bridged networking and changing the ports so they don't match the ports the host is using for the first Plex instance? Nvmd, I just setup a different network and bridge and allowed it in docker settings (docker must be disabled first) and then linked the new container to that bridge instead of my default.

I see. So there is no other way to schedule a monthly flash backup?

Is it possible to ONLY backup the Unraid USB using this plugin? It doesn't seem to let me save the USB backup destination unless I also have an Appdata share source/destination configured.

Does anyone have any working post-processing scripts with this docker for removing commercials for Live TV recordings?

Is there a way to run Unraid in Proxmox VE that is upgradeable (ie. you can simply run the OS update in Unraid GUI and reboot)? I used to run Unraid in VMware and had to shutdown and update the VMDK i was using as my boot drive every time I did an Unraid OS upgrade.

Does anyone know how to get Plex to only use the /tmp directory for on the fly transcodes (live streaming) and not for mobile sync data? I have a lot of users who do mobile syncing and my RAM will max out fast if those converted files are being stored there until being downloaded by mobile clients. EDIT: Nvmd, I figured it out. Just used a symlink and set /config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Cache/Transcode/Sessions to /mnt/ramdisk in my Plex container. All set.

Thank you!

Ok so I'm installing Mojave using SIO's youtube video. The only difference is that I used the latest version of clover that I downloaded today. I got to the point where I booted the VM for the first time but I can't seem to get into the OVMF settings. When I go to restart from the below screen and hit Delete non-stop, nothing happens is just boots back to this same screen. Anything I'm missing that applies to Mojave that I may have missed?

It's no where to be found my Macbook Pro once the upgrade to Mojave completed.

Is there no other way to create a Mac OSX VM without creating the USB installer? I can't create the USB install from my Macbook Pro because it's already on Mojave.

No, it's not there if the computer has Mojave installed.

Is there any way to setup a Mac OSX install disk on a Mac that is already on the latest version (Mojave) since the install OS app isn't available in the App store?

Quick question for those of you who have created small RAMdisks for your temp transcode directory. How much space have you carved out for this and how many simultaneous transcodes do you typically support on your servers?

That page looks normal to me too, but not the MAIN page that has all my array information. All the buttons under Array Operation and Shares seem huge compared to the text on that page. Will post a screen shot shortly.

Has anyone else commented on how large the new Orange buttons are? In Chrome I have to zoom to 80% for them to appear at a normal size. Definitely don't seem proportional the rest of the UI.

Ok, the issue was completely on my end. I forgot I had made some firewall changes a few months back for my VPN connection. I haven't had to reboot my server since. So I just had to allow the CIFS ports in my firewall and now I'm up and running. My sincere apologies @limetech for wasting your time.

Ok, still no go on the auto start. Now I get past the mkdir part but the mount of the cifs share fails. I get the following error: mount error(115): Operation now in progress Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Interesting. I just tried manually deleting the /unlock. directory and then recreating it. It successfully created it without the period this time. I just deleted it again and rebooted so lets see what happens.

Wish I could take credit but this was @bonienl's code. In my case, the other machine is actually not on my LAN but instead on the other side of a Site-to-Site VPN I have between mine and my parents' home which is where my second (backup) unRAID server lives 😉.
