Out of curiosity, is there a general availability release of the patched drivers yet? Or still beta only?

@JorgeB- That worked perfectly, thank you so much! I'm not sure who maintains the docs, but it would be great to update them to reflect these issues with 6.12+

I'm currently working on shrinking my array, and have been following the instructions in the docs (here) and also shown on Youtube here. I got to the point of running the clear script, and unfortunately ran into the same issue as this user (wherein the script is not compatible with 6.12+, but the docs have not yet been updated to indicate that). I then tried to stop the array, so I could re-start it in maintenance mode and follow the instructions shared by this user. Unfortunately, the array will not stop, because the clear drive script was run improperly (and created /dev/md2, in addition to /dev/md2p1). It's stuck on "Retry unmounting disk share(s)" Does anyone have advice on how I should proceed? Any help would certainly be appreciated!

@Djoss I did make sure to start with a fresh appdata directory, knowing that would likely cause issues. After taking a quick peak at engine_output, and seeing hundreds of the following error: Error occurred during initialization of VM Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size I realized that the error was with my configuration of the "Maximum Memory" setting. I entered 4096, forgetting to add "M". It appears leaving out the unit caused this error. Changing to 4096M (or 4G) solved the problem. Thanks for helping me realize the issue. Cheers!

@Djoss - I've tried a couple of restarts, but with no luck. Find the log attached. Thanks for the help. CP Log.txt

@Djoss - To my knowledge, yes. I installed via the community applications "Apps" tab, and have since checked for updates through the "Docker" tab.

Just spun up this container after uninstalling gfjardim's home container and migrating over to CP for SB. I had a couple hiccups with ports at first (the same issues as @meoge), but uninstalling/reinstalling seemed to have fixed that. Unfortunately, I am now getting the error message "Code42 cannot connect to it's background service". I tried a couple of restarts, but no luck. Any ideas?

Awesome, thanks man.

Alright, someone explain what I'm missing here. Totally new to Docker, and can't figure out for the life of me how to add the PlexPy docker to my unraid setup (already running Plex as a container). I can't even figure out the first step (I'm assuming that I add another link to my docker repo list on http://tower.local/Docker but I truthfully don't know. My typically good google-fu is failing me here. And it doesn't help I don't know a lick of Linux. Anyone generous enough to help? Cheers!

I guess I should specify - I'm talking about "optimizing" my library, where Plex transcodes the video to another copy and stores that. In this case, I believe it transcodes the whole movie at once. Is this what you're looking for?

So to keep this short and sweet, I've got a 24-core server running unRAID and a docker container with Plex. With this many cores, you would expect that transcoding would be lightning fast, right? nope When transcoding, CPU usage floats between 1 and 38 percent (the highest I have ever seen it), but never makes use of the full CPU power. Is there a limit on the Docker container holding Plex? Any way to utilize more CPU power? And yes, I've already set the plex CPU setting to "Make my CPU hurt". Ideas? Cheers!

Just wanted to pop back and update everyone. I ended up re-doing the flash drive a second time, by putting the latest files on, running the MakeBootable script, and replacing the config folder with a copy from before I wiped the flash drive (at the advice of @trurl). After that, I fired up the machine, and she works great! When I try to boot into GUI mode, I get stuck at loading bzroot, but in standard mode, everything works as expected. I really appreciate all of the help!

I put the files from latest version on flash drive, ran makebootable script, deleted all files except for bzimage and bzroot, copied all the other files back over from the old flash drive backup, andddddd error. Is there another way that I could re-do the drive, and still get all of my shares, settings, and my docker container back?

Yes, that does easily eliminate any chance of error in that assignment Now I just have to get the damn thing to boot! Anybody have any other ideas?

Gave this a try - Put files from latest version on flash drive, ran makebootable script, deleted all files except for bzimage and bzroot, copied all the other files back over from the backup ANNNNNNND - same error unRAID Server OS Change Log =========================== Version 6.1.9 2016-03-04 ------------------------ - emhttp: fix buffer overflow vulnerability with webGUI login dialog - glibc: version 2.17-11 (SSA:2016-054-02) - libgcrypt: version 1.5.5 (SSA:2016-054-03) - linux: 4.1.18 - ntp: version 4.2.8p6 (SSA:2016-054-04) - openssl: 1.0.1s (SSA:2016-062-02) - webGui: integrate dynamix version 2016.03.04 - Thankfully, my parity is a 4TB drive, whereas all my data drives are 2TB - so it should be rather easy to spot.

While I want to upgrade to 6.2.2, and get all of the wonderful dual parity, NIC bonding features, I'm assuming I'll want to first make the flash drive with the same version from which I pulled the files? How can I tell (from the files I pulled off the drive) what version of the software I was running?

Memtest has been running for almost 24 hours now, and here are the results.. Being that this is a server, no USB3. I have two front USB2, three rear USB2, and one internal USB2. I've tried the flash drive in both the front and the rear with the same results. I could try putting it inside or adding a USB card if you guys think it would help.

Here are the results...

Truthfully can't help you out much, but if you don't get any replies, I would try the unRAID subreddit over here - https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/

Hey everybody - So unfortunately my old 16-core unRAID server took a dive, and began restarting every 3 minutes or so. I just tossed a new 24-core box in the rack, connected all of my drives to the new server, moved the USB boot drive over ANNNNND - error. I've attached a screenshot of the error - "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block" I don't have any backups of this data (I know, I know - I just bought a backup server and will be setting it up after this new unRAID box is running) so I definitely don't want to lose my data. Any help is appreciated! Cheers! -DJ

Unfortuetly, the SUA series have the USB port, while the SU series I has does not. I just ordered a smart serial cable to make the connection - any special configuration needed in unRAID to make this work in the UPS daemon?

Unfortunately, my APC UPS does not have a USB connection on-board, so I'm looking to see if there is another way to connect my UPS to my unRAID server to power it down automatically at, say, 20 percent charge. Perhaps I can use a serial connection for this? Any help and advice is appreciated! UPS model is SU3000RMXL3U - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842101152

Update - Replacing the drive went as smooth as butter. Thanks for the help! Any news on when the dual-parity will be making its way out of beta? Also - any way to mark this thread resolved?

"Assign the new disk to the slot the old disk was in" Not to be dumb - but where will this option be lol? Also - I've got another disk that is failing SMART parameters, but isn't reporting errors. Should I replace it as well? Can I replace two drives at one time?

Noticed that one of my drives started reporting errors from the "Main" tab on unRAID's GUI. But if I go to the dashboard, the drive isn't marked as faulty. I viewed the SMART attributes of the drive, but then realized that I don't really know what they mean! I've attached them here, so hopefully someone can help me interpret these? Secondly - What is the procedure for changing drives if I would need to? Can I hot-swap HDD's if I have compatible hardware or must I restart? Also - Can I have a "Hot-Spare" that replaces any bad drives without me doing anything? Any advice is appreciated!
