[Log 100% Full]

I am trying to download diags to upload but system is running so slow, cannot reboot yet as recording a tv show.  Would the diags/logs tell you what is causing the problem as would really like to keep RAM transcoding with Plex

[Log 100% Full]

Hi,

 

My Log file is full and I can see it is full of these errors.  The only change I made a couple of weeks ago was for Plex to use RAM for transcoding is it possible to be the cause?

[Scripts no longer running? OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:367]

Thank you, I had just found that on the CA scripts forum, added the "bash" and now all running again! 

 

Thank you! 🙂

[Scripts no longer running? OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:367]

Ah! I see all scripts are stored on the boot usb and that is now not possible.  Why does unraid create scripts there if you are unable to run them from boot?  I cannot see a way to move/change the script location?

[Scripts no longer running? OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:367]

Hi,

 

I have a couple of scripts that I have not run for about a year but they no longer run and each have the same error

 

OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:367: starting container process caused: exec: "/UNRAIDSHARE/bashfile/opus.bash": permission denied: >

 

I have tried changing the user but it makes no difference? has something changed in unraid?

 

Here is my script

 

#!/bin/bash
docker exec -u root -i Blender-Desktop-G3 /UNRAIDSHARE/bashfile/opus.bash /UNRAIDSHARE/opustest

[Plex: Guide to Moving Transcoding to RAM]

Hi!

Is there a way to test that the transcode is happening on the RAM please? It should be working but would like to know if there is a way I can check it is not transcoding on the nvme drive. 

 

Also, I am allocating 20GB with my parameter, does that "lock out" 20GB for plex (Will show as used in unraid) or just allow it to use 20GB of what is available?

 

Thank you

 

I am using a threadripper 2950X so no cpu capabilities

[3 X 1TB NVME Drives For Cache Advice Please?]

Unraid 6.9 and up allows multiple pools. Cache is just the name of the first pool most people have, you can name pools however you wish. A pool with multiple disks must use btrfs.

Thank you, I will have a read!

 

[3 X 1TB NVME Drives For Cache Advice Please?]

If your current pool is using the BTRFS variant of RAID1, then adding the 3rd 1TB drive would give you 1.5TB of useable space.  BTRFS does not require you to have an even number of drives.  
 

One thing to be aware of is that with an odd number of drives in a BTRFS pool the used/free space values in the GUI tend to be off (but get more accurate as the pool fills up).

Thank you, this may also be an option!

 

[3 X 1TB NVME Drives For Cache Advice Please?]

One option is to just use the 1 drive in another cache pool and only use that for data that will be pushed to array quickly.  And leave important stuff like VMs and appdata on the 2 drive pool.  

This sounds interesting, do you have any info? is it a 2nd cache pool?

 

[3 X 1TB NVME Drives For Cache Advice Please?]

Hi,

 

I currently have 2 X 1TB NVME Drives as a btrfs cache pool but now have another 1TB spare so considering my options.

 

I would not want to have less than 1.5TB useable space in my pool but don't think 3 X 1TB drives can be used in any way to give me that space with protection.  I was just thinking what a nightmare I would have if one of these drives goes down losing everything on my cache pool so would like to find the most economical way to protect my cache pool even if it means buying more/different drives.

 

Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions please?

 

Thank you

[[PLUGIN] Tasmota Power Monitor]

Thanks for this fantastic plugin! would it be possible to add multiple plugs? I have 16 in the house and would be great to have one place to look at all of them 🙂

[[support] digiblur's Docker Template Repository]

Not hopeful for a response as it looks like everyones questions are unanswered but here goes!

 

On the TasmoAdmin docker, the notes are "PLEASE Stop this container while not in use and during Tasmota upgrades"

 

My question is why must I stop the docker if I am not using it? I like to look at the info every few days and wonder why I have to manually start the docker each time?

[Power Monitoring Smart Sockets]

Hi,

Not exactly an unraid question but I saw @SpaceInvaderOne uses a tasmota flashed sonoff power monitoring plug to see how much his unraid server is consuming and he was able to view the consumption via a browser.

 

My question is does anyone on here do the same with an off the shelf power usage plug? 

[Has anyone worked out how much it costs to keep their server on each day?]

I think that being in the UK at 0.29p per Kw/H is what's making the difference to be honest! oh to pay $0.11 that would be amazing and I wouldn't have posted this thread!

Can't say with that little information.

 

Did you try the file activity plugin ?

 

Other method I would try in your situation I would :

• shut down docker and VM services
• Start the docker service (with every container stopped)
• start one docker at a time
• Start the VM service (with every VM stopped)
• start one VM at a time

After each phase, I would check the activity.

 

Thank you!

[How can I find out what this activity is?]

Hi, 

 

Trying to work out what activity could be causing all my disks to be reading?  Parity/Mover not running and my shares are spread to minimize disk activity but they obviously cannot spin down with this kind of activity.

 

[Has anyone worked out how much it costs to keep their server on each day?]

Thanks for this, less than half of mine! 😄

 

I have seen something similar to this with another brand that there is a plugin for on unraid  (easier to get in the UK) I cannot remember what it is called so will have to do some digging.

[Has anyone worked out how much it costs to keep their server on each day?]

It is in the garage but I laid 10gbe cables underground to the house and use it for

37 Dockers & 3 VM's

 

Admittidly it is currently being used for encoding (tdarr) so I will look later to see how much that drops the wattage when it has finished.

I make a conscious decision to not investigate that completely as I probably don't want to know.  I estimate though that between the servers and my desktop it costs me a couple hundred a year.  Just the cost of doing business IMO

 

I honestly would be VERY happy if it only cost a couple of hundred a year but I am looking at just under £1500 for my main server and a HP Microserver! not including my Desktop and currently offline 3rd unraid server 😄

[Has anyone worked out how much it costs to keep their server on each day?]

Hi @Frank1940 

 

I do not have any GPU's and my Hard Drives are set to spin down after 30 mins (except my SAS drives never do as I believe there is an issue with these being able to spin down on linux/unraid?)

 

Also my servers are in the detached garage so not benifiting from any heat! 😄

 

My HP Microserver with i5-3470T 4X Mech Drives & 1 X SSD is about 50W idle

 

I have not measured my 2nd unraid server independantly I am just measuring the whole cabinet with the 2nd server in it and it is drawing 500W but consist of the following

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unraid Server 2

Gigabyte X399 Designare Motherboard

2950X Threadripper

48GB RAM

24 Mechanical Disks

2 X NVME Drives

Mellanox MCX311A 10gbe Network Card

 

External Devices

MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S 10gbe switch

Zyxel GS1900-24 Network Switch

Huawei B535-333- 4G+ Router 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

So considering neither of my unraid servers have GPU's does 500W sound wrong? is something a bit off here?

 

[Has anyone worked out how much it costs to keep their server on each day?]

I have just bought some energenie power monitors due to my monthly direct debit for gas/electric increasing to £476!

 

I have found my HP Microserver (runs Sophos router software/nextcloud etc) and my main unraid server (2950x Threadripper with 100TB storage)  is using combined 550w which equates to just under £4 per day.

 

I am already thinking of changes/replacements to bring the cost down just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat?

[You require permission from UNRAID1\nobody to make changes, Windows or Unraid problem?]

Thank you so much for confirming, I have messaged the docker creator to check for what has happened/changed.

 

[You require permission from UNRAID1\nobody to make changes, Windows or Unraid problem?]

Hi,

 

Just recently been getting this permission issue, I cannot work out if a docker is causing this or Windows?

 

 

To try and solve this I have created a new user in Unraid called windows with read/write permission to all shares, removed existing Windows credentionals and mapped a drive using the new windows user which unfortunately makes no difference.

 

The docker(s) that creates the files has a PUID of 99 and PGID of 100 

 

Can anyone advise please?

 

Many thanks

[How do I install opus-tools on unraid?]

8 hours ago, Squid said:

You need to install it within the container itself, not on Unraid.  For that your best bet is to talk to the container authors on how to do this.  (Or try apt-get within the container itself, but that'll need to be redone after every update to the container)

 

Thank you
