  1. I'm trying to figure out how to pass a custom config to AirConnect but failing. I see options for "-i" and "-x" but failing at getting a config written out or read from a path I added to the container for /mnt/user/appdata/airconnect. anyone have advice here?
  2. Thanks! Looks like the answer is yes, I can do what I suggested as a faster way. Thanks!
  3. Thanks, good catch. But the meat of what I'm asking is whether all that is necessary or if I can just add the 2 new 1TB drives to the cache pool, wait unitl they are added, then remove the other original 2 x 512GB, and in the end have a 1 TB cache pool
  4. Typical way to change disks in your cache drive (single or pool) has been to: 1. Disable VM 2. disable docker 3. change all shares to cache=yes 4. invoke mover, wait for it to finish 5. change drives However this is a little painful and slow. I was wondering if it was faster to just all the 2 new drives as additional drives to the cache pool, then when it’s done setting up, remove the 2 original drives. I then found this comment which indicates it’s possible: However my old drives are 512GB SSD and my new ones are 1TB. Will this work while ultimately leasing me using the full 1TB when the two 512GB are removed from the pool?
  5. I've done all the guides and work with sensors and sensor-detect, but my unraid system does not detect my fans in my system. I expected this to be easier. It does see sensors for temperature though. I've done all the obligatory searches but cannot find an answer, hence why I'm posting this. Anyone have any tips?
  6. just not as convenient since I have to then worry about mapping shares available to the docker, and that abstraction is inconvenient for various scripts I write. I’d much rather have mediainfo available generally in unraid
  7. Using the method from @DeathStar Darth I couldn’t get mediainfo installed converting from the Debian package. I’m trying to figure out how to create my own txz package directly. Does anyone have pointers?
  8. Thanks! Out of curiosity what does this last line do? Is it just putting a max size on the folder? I don't quite understsand all the components of the command.
  9. Thanks..this helped me figure out what was what. What I ddi was just get that copy of the libmediainfo and copy to /boot/extra, and on reboot it's auto installed. No need for a user script. Update: Oops, i see you are just downloading also the debian mediainfo package and converting it, then installing it. An optimization here might be to install libmediainfo and libzen via /boot/extra and just have a script for the mediainfo debian conversion.
  10. years ago when i first setup my unraid server, I was having issues with the log share size, so I found this discussion which uses a few lines in the go file to increase the log size: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38564.msg410062#ms Specifically the lines are: mount -o remount,size=256m /var/log logger -tgo "Increased space for logs to 256MB" I'm wondering if this is still necessary in 2022? Has something changed in unraid making this unnecessary after 6 years or is this still on a case by case basis?
  11. I think I'm having problems related to this as I have upgraded lots of movies to 4K HEVC HDR, and been consistently blowing my ram out I think. In reading the last few pages of this thread, I'm guessing that's the issue here. My system has 64GB of memory, but 16-20GB of it is dedicated to various VMs. I assumed that the remaining was sufficient but i have lots of people streaming remotely from plex (so transcoding) and possibly downloading. So I'm wondering what hte right thing to do here is as the last few pages left me confused. Currently, my plex container has /transcode mapped to /tmp.
  12. Never before have I had this problem where my rootfs was filling up to 100%. A few weeks ago, I was getting all sorts of error in Plex saying the disk was full, and when I tried to login to the unraid dashboard, it kept reloading and timing out. I then went to my phsyical machine and logged in, and at the terminal ran a "df -H /" and it showed rootfs was at 100% full. I couldn't do anything and some research showed I should reboot which I did. That solved the problem. However, since then, this has happened again a few days later so I'm trying to track down what's going on. I'm not aware of anything really changing my unraid setup other than container upgrades. For example, I haven't suddenly changed where plex is doing it's transcodes but it's possible that it's filling up since 3-4 weeks ago I started upgrading movies to 4k counterparts from 1080p so the transcodes would be more aggressive. However, I didn't know if that's it and don't know how to read my system diagnostics. I've attached them in hopes someone can help! tower-diagnostics-20221013-1410.zip
  13. I'm late to the party on this but worried about the deprecation of NerdPack in upcoming 6.11. I have used this as an easy way to get LFTP for years and now wondering what I need to do without NerdPack. I've been reading past posts and not totally clear on the right path. Is it this on 6.10 so i won't be broken on 6.11 ugprade? 1. Create a /boot/extra directory 2. Download packages to that folder 3. Run "installpkg <LFTP package name>" on each package in /boot/extra ? What do I need to do to handle this automatically on reboot? Other packages I use nerdpack to install are: mediainfo libmediainfo libzen (although I cannot remember what i use this for)
  14. I tried to follow the upgrde instructions but when I connect back into the console of the docker container, the upgrade command fails: Any ideas?
  15. Yes I have, and that works. But the issue here is that size=1M is valid syntax that worked in older versions of logrotate and is a bug in 3.18.1 and fixed in their current version.
  16. Since upgrading from 6.9 to 6.10.3, I'm getting errors for a logrotation: keyword 'size' not properly separated, found 0x3d My configuration for my job is: /var/log/foobar/debug.log { su root root size=1M rotate 5 notifempty missingok } Looking into this, the problem is with logrotation 3.18.1 which is in Unraid 6.10.3: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=6253137
  17. I was having this error when SSH'ing into a non-unraid box too. This `ssh-keyscan` command also resolved the issue for me. Thanks!
  18. Shouldn't the WebUI port be 30000 vs: http://[IP]:5050/files/
  19. I am still having the infinite loading/redirect mentioned previously: I've done the `unraid-api stop` as suggested which got it to stop.
  20. Literally after I posted this, I found the "Replace" key link in another place in the Purchase flow... it seems to have worked as Unraid is now reporting a valid Pro keyfile and let me start the array. However, I now in a weird situation where I cannot login to the unraid webui. I successfully login but then the webUI keeps reporting I"m not signed in. I see my username flash for a moment in the top right corner of the WebUI, then it goes back to "Sign In". I repeat it over and over again with no luck. Found the issue. Bug in My Servers plugin:
  21. I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to get my unraid server up and running. I just replaced my motherboard, CPU and changed the USB key in the process since I was having some issues with previous one. I downloaded a USB key backup zip using the webUI, then restored it to the new USB key using the Unraid USB Creator. Booted my server and everything booted fine, but in the WebUI, it's saying there is a keyfile error. Everything I'm reading indicates I should be able to self-service this and get it going by seeing a "Replace" option in the WebUI but I'm not seeing it (see attached screenshot). July 2020, I did a key upgrade from Plus to Pro to get a higher device limit. But I've never replaced my key in the past 12 month so shouldn't be hitting that common issue I read about. On my old USB key, I had both a Plus.key and a Pro.key. Given I only needed Pro, I've tried deleting first the Plus.key, then both key files. No luck. I then tried deleting both key files, and reinstalling my Pro key from the original install URL given to me in my purchase email. I see a Pro.key on the flash drive but still same error. I've contacted Unraid Support about an hour ago, but I'd really like to get my server up and running tonight. Is there any tips anyone can provide or am I out of luck until they reply?
  22. Update: This problem was unrelated to MyServers plugin, this was just a symptom. My nginx was having issues and filling my logs, so I did a "/etc/rc.d/rc.nginx restart" and it seemed to resolve it thanks to this post: ----- I'm having tons of issues with accessing my WebGUI.. I'm not sure if it's related to the MyServers plugin or not but I'm seeing this: In console I'm seeing this: The WebUI just shows a perpetual loader: I did an "unraid-api restart" and got this: Unfortunately no change. In console I'm seeing this still:
  23. My new motherboard is this: Asus Prime H470 Plus CSM https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-H470M-PLUS/ I'm pretty sure on my current Supermicro X10SLM-F, I'm using Legacy boot and not UEFI. I looked up manual of my new motherboard, and it says the following: "The new ASUS UEFI BIOS is a Unified Extensible Interface that complies with UEFI architecture, offering a user-friendly interface that goes beyond the traditional keyboard-only BIOS controls to enable a more flexible and convenient mouse input. You can easily navigate the new UEFI BIOS with the same smoothness as your operating system. The term "BIOS" in this user manual refers to "UEFI BIOS" unless otherwise specified." If new mobo doesn't support legacy bios, am I hosed?
