EDIT - Just googled and can see the Orico 8 bay (NS800U3 if that's the model) is USB3.0. I would have assumed that if you have multiple drives using a single USB link, it's possibly saturating it? But from looking it states up to 5Gbps I'm confused by what you're saying about the rebuilds. unRAID parity will repair the one or two disks that are missing:- "It seemed the total read speed of the array stays constant at about 30-35Mb/s, so each drive will read at about 6Mb/s and the data drive would write at 6Mb/s. Once the 2Tbs are out of the way the remaining drives go up to 8-9Mb/s and once the 4Tbs are done the 10Tbs go at 18-19Mb/s. It got to 99.6% complete and my son threw a toy behind the TV and it unplugged again" I'm a bit confused about the above. I would have assumed that when you unplugged the array and one of the drive was disabled, that this one drive would then be rebuilt by the parity drive? Also, are the drives in the enclosure each classed as being passed through, i.e with bare metal access by the OS? Or are they in their own kind of array? Sorry, trying to get my head around this...!

Found it, thanks man. Viewing other people signatures was disabled by default (never seen that before...)

@sota Link to sig?

Sorted issue with the people at linuxserver. You need to map the container path using a prefix of /sync Example below Sorted now. I found another bug whereby if you remove the /sync share completely the container won't start. They have raised as a bug.

That would also be pretty damn good!

Easier said than done. It's not easy to back up 100+TB of data My important stuff is backed up according to the 321 strategy, but movies and tv shows which take up a huge amount of space can't easily be backed up. Triple parity would at least give some additional peace of mind when swapping faulty disks. (it took some nagging to persuade my wife to let me but 14 x 14TB external drives!)

Sorry if this has been asked before. Dual parity just isn't enough with large arrays. I've had to replace 2 disks a couple of times now, and having the extra peace of mind with that one extra disk would be amazing. I know it's likely a big CPU overhead with the maths calculations, but if you could give people the choice, who have the hardware to do it, that would be amazing Once you hit 14+ drives, the chance for an additional failure whilst rebuilding must skyrocket thanks!

Really hope they offer this at some point. I would jump on it. EDIT - Just asked!

Agree, with 28 drives, the chance of a third failure must skyrocket. I understand that additional parity causes a big CPU overhead, but it's a must have as far as i am concerned. Dual parity simply isn't enough.

Hey @Froberg, so i did try that first, and removed the /sync folder. However the container then won't start, it seems like if it doesn't have the /sync folder mapped, the container won't run. One would assume that when you start sync and then go to add a share, you would see the folders you had mapped, but it only shows /sync, with no way to move beyond that folder and access the other mappings you made

Morning everyone. Is there a way to setup sync without giving the container access to my entire server (/mnt/user) Currently the /sync share needs mapping to this, but i only wish to sync 5 different shares between two servers - Sync really shouldn't need access to everything (not best practice)

168TB usable, with 14 x 14TB including two drives for parity. 16 bay server, didn't want to go 24 bay as was worried about having more drives with only two parity drives.... (triple parity please!) Got all the WD Elements 14TB drives for £190 each off Amazon.co.uk. Bargain

Just as an update I switched my main unRAID server to the Ryzen 5 3600 with 16GB of ECC RAM, and its been absolutely phenomenal No issues at all on the Asrock X570 Pro4 board, and it was the most painless upgrade i've ever done, thanks to unRAID The performance increase from this CPU cannot be understated when unzipping and repairing large files

My Ryzen 3600 and Asrock X570 Pro4 with 16GB ECC RAM is due to arrive today, and i am planning to retire my ancient Supermicro X8ST3-F and Xeon X5680 System has been amazing, but was crawling when SabNZB was unzipping large files, so i thought its time to upgrade I know there have been some issues on AMD hardware with first gen Zen, but is anyone running a 3rd Gen chip on X570 yet?

Guys, is this a working strategy to back up pictures and videos to my Google Drive?

Oooh thanks for this! I did try an older video where you could backup to Google Drive, and then it stopped working as Google apparently wouldn't allow it? If this works then great, as i currently have a 2TB volume added to a VM (which is basically duplicating data) with the google drive client installed

So is there no way at all for unRAID to be able to silently fix file corruption? (even in the future?) Just to add, i think unRAID is an absolutely phenomenal piece of software, but as the amount of storage you have goes up and up, it becomes almost impossible to have backups (50+TB of movies on mine) that i can't back up without another array. So the (albeit slim) chance of a movie file being corrupted and not playable would be a bit of a problem, as you wouldn't know it was corrupt until you play it Incidentally, what benefits could BTFRS give me over XFS, as i may be building a new server early next year

A self healing filesystem would be an amazing addition to unRAID. At the end of the day, when you have 80TB of data, then knowing your data is actually safe from bitrot would be huge piece of mind to me. This is the reason that my home pictures, videos and documents are still stored on FreeNAS, and unRAID is used for everything else. I can't risk my most important data (yes i do have a ton of backups too..!). Why is btrfs even still offered as a filesystem, as most people will say it's simply not reliable enough for production?

Another error on the backup i've just tried I'll try and contact the team as you suggest thanks

Would absolutely LOVE to be able to use this, but alas it fails the backup every single time Error reporting is fairly useless and even enabling debug didn't really give the reason for the failure(s) Might have to revisit in 6 months and see if it's viable. Happy to provide any log files if anyone is interested in helping fix? Let me know what i can do
