    NFS share isssues

    Same problem here with NFS. The oppo 203 only shows part of a directory (approx 200 entries out of 800). Over SMB everything is fine. NFS had been working on previous unraid versions - but i do not know exactly when it stopped showing all files.

     

    I think i found a solution by setting global-share-settings->tunable(enable hard links) to no. The oppo now seems to display all entries again. I will monitor this to see if this is just luck or if its really fixed.

    Wow! I was having this same issue for years and this solved it completely!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 

     

    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Jellyfin

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    Hi folks,

     

    Has any of you here using jellyfin DLNA server running on unraid and successfully able to cast files and play on a OPPO-203 client?

    I have jellyfin installed and running on my unraid server (network type = Host) with DLNA server enabled and running. My OPPO-203 can see the jellyfin server. I can browse media files from OPPO and play on TV. However, from my iphone/ipad jellyfin app when I select "Play On OPPO UDP-203 - DLNA",  TV screen blinks for a second and goes right back to OPPO main screen. On my app it seems to indicate the file is playing on OPPO (media file play counter is running). I don't have any other media servers running on unraid. (removed plex to avoid conficts with jellyfin)

    Jellyfin logs looks like below ..

    [Solved] Windows network access to server lost

    in General Support

    Posted

    Hello folks I have been accessing my unraid server shares via mapped network locations on my windows10 PC (add network locations) and today I lost my access suddenly. Prior to this I was experimenting adding a new share to my unraid box (via webgui) making it private and trying to give access to that share to a newly created user. I then deleted both the user and that empty share. After this experiment my windows10 PC no longer seem to be able to access my existing server shares as network locations anymore. (It says Windows cannot access \\server_name\share). 

    What could have gone wrong here? 

    p.s: It seems I can only access the shares as \\ip_address\share now.

    i guess this should rather be a point at emby's forum, did you asked there ?

    No I haven't.. I also tried downloading and installing embyserver on my windows PC and pointed that to the above unraid library. Strangely that windows version scans my library correctly and I don't see the above mentioned issue. It only happens with the embyserver installed on the docker. I was hoping the docker app would work correctly so that I don't have to have my windows PC running ...

    Hi guys my unraid server share is setup as follows:

    \\myserver\Movies\movie1\BDMV\

    \\myserver\Movies\movie2\movie2.mkv

    etc.

     

    I tried installing and running the Embyserver docker on this and when I add my movies folder to the library, emby scanner seem to add each .m2ts file inside the BDMV/STREAM folder as a separate movie. How can I avoid that and make it only add the top movie folder path?

    Before attempting to move my unraid HDDs into the older PC motherboard/CPU/memory setup, I first tried to move my DELL controller from the dead unraid box motherboard into the Asus motherboard on older PC. Installed the controller card (no disks attached) and tried booting that system up (win7 64b) as is to see if there are any issues. During boot up that system power cycled twice but on 3rd power cycle attempt  it came up and recognized the storage card in win7. However I noticed now under windows (and also on BIOS) system shows less installed memory DDR3 when the card is installed. (12G installed but shows up as 8G when the controller card is on the MB. Card removed it shows full 12G). 

    Could this be a MB issue? or should I directly try to boot this motherboard/card with unraid and not worry about the issues I see in windows?

    If you had the array set to autostart then you can edit config/disk.cfg to change that. It won't try to start anyway if you have more than one/two missing depending on single/dual parity.

    No I have disabled array auto-start and have single parity.

    Unraid keeps track of disk assignments by serial number and sounds like you have the controller fixed so those identifiers don't get mangled.

     

    Many of us have changed mobo/cpu, booted up with same flash and same disks, and it just worked.

    Thanks! Do you think I should hook all 10 HDs and try to bring everything together? When it powers up I should be able to inspect the syslog first and make sure all HDDs are detected OK before starting the array right? I was thinking that way if one of them don't come up for some reason I should shut down again and look for connection issues .. thoughts?

    Hello my unraid friends,

     

    My unraid server built in circa 2013 using an "MSI 880GMA-E53" MB and a cheap "AMD Sampron 140" has served me well over the years primarily running as a media server and doing not much else. It was supporting 10 HDDs also using a flashed "dell-perc-h310" controller.

    It was running the latest unraid OS and recently developed an annoying fan noise. I shut the system down and cleaned all dust etc. and after making sure all connections and cables are intact tried to re-start unsuccessfully. It appears the MB is not getting any power (MB led light not on). I verified the power supply itself is OK by disconnecting all power cables and testing it standalone. (shorting the green & black MB power cable pins makes the PS fan comes alive). Also tried replacing the MB CMOS battery with no luck. So I'm coming to the realization that my MB/CPU may need replacement now.

     

    My initial thinking at this stage is to re-purpose another PC HW I have at home sitting around. It  has: Asus Asus_P6X58-E_Pro MB, Intel i7 CPU and 12G RAM along with a GTX570 Graphics card currently running windows 7. What would be the safest way to swap the MB/CPU/RAM and re-use the dell controller to get the old system back up?

    Don't want to take any risks fearing potential data loss..

    Is a Server motherboard worth the extra money?

    Ramblinreck47,
    Thank you for the lead to the motherboard. I will reach out to Jeff Robertson. Additionally, that is a cool website. It seems to be an online marketplace for used server grade components. I will keep an eye on this website to see if in the future it can source a small quantity of 10TB and/or 12TB enterprise grade hard drives I plan to buy soon. 

     

    To answer your question, yes I thought about a rackmount case. However, I decided not to go down this path because aside from spending on the rackmount case there is also the cost for the sound proofing cabinet on wheels shown in the link below: 

     

    https://www.quietpcusa.com/XRackPro2-4U-Quiet-Rackmount-Server-Cabinet-Black-P443.aspx

     

    I just find it more easy on the wallet to get a tower case that offers some sound proofing and then just add my own caster wheels to it. Nevertheless, I am surprised to hear about the Deep Silence case having a bad reputation for bad airflow. I have spent a lot of time researching this case and have not become informed about this. 

     

    Once I move out of my Condo and buy myself a house with a two car garage I will upgrade to a full size rackmount cabinet on wheels and set it up as the IT professionals do in a server room using up part of my garage.  In short, I think a rackmount case is definitely the way to go. Not only for the better airflow you get but also because of that hot swappable drive technology you usually get in a rackmount case but not in a tower case.  

     

    Thanks for the tips on the Fractal XL R2 and the Corsiar Obsidian 750D. I plan to call them up and talk airflow with them and also the Nonaxia case people. 

     

    Again thanks for your help with this matter. 

    This thread is more than a year old.. but I'm in a similar situation right now an am wondering about what you ended up doing and how things are working out for you today with your build?

    [SOLVED] Changing FS on Disk in Array

    in General Support

    Posted

    3 hours ago, itimpi said:

    There seems to be a missing step 3.5 where after changing the format of the array disk to XFS and restarting the array you carried out the format step to create an empty XFS file system on disk1 before copying the data back to it.   I assume this happened?
     

    -Rez-clear is never REQUIRED with Unraid, only use it if you intend to stress test a drive.   if you want to empty the external disk again ready for the next array drive you can format the external drive again (fastest) or simply delete all files/folders on it.

    Thanks! Yes I did format Disk1 to xfs before copying data back. Looks like I'm going to simply format the external disk and move to the next array drive then.

    Thank you!

    [SOLVED] Changing FS on Disk in Array

    in General Support

    Hi guys,

     

    I have several disks (reiserfs) on my array that I was long planning to convert to "xfs" and was able to successfully convert the first disk (disk1) as follows

    using an external USB drive (14TB) which I pre-cleared successfully beforehand:

     

    1. Mounted the external USB disk as an "Unassigned Device" and formatted it to xfs.

    2. Copied all data from disk1 into the Unassigned Disk using "rsync -avPX /mnt/disk1/ /mnt/disks/WD_easystore../". 

    3. Stopped the array. Change the disk1 format to "xfs" and start the array.

    4. Copy data from the unassigned USB device back to disk1 using  reverse command "rsync -avPX /mnt/disks/WD_easystore../ /mnt/disk1/"

       so that disk1 is now in "xfs" format.

     

    This seems to have worked well and my question is do I need to pre-clear the external unassigned device again before attempting to repeat the above process for the next disk in array?

    Good news at last! Array re-build with the replacement for Disk1 has finished successfully with no issues reported. Parity says valid with 0 errors.

    At first glance it appears I have not lost any data, which is a pleasant surprise to me considering the situation. I'll take a closer look to confirm no data loss later.. but first want to give a big thank to johnnie.black for guiding me through to safety. 👏👏 Cheers!! 🥂

    Disk5 looks healthy, since disk1 suffered some corruption during the rebuild when disk5 dropped offline, easiest way forward would be:

     

    -Re-connect old disk1 (you can disconnect the new one if needed)

    -I would recommend replacing cables on disk5 just to rule them out if there are any more issues with it.

    -Tools -> New Config -> Retain current configuration: All -> Apply
    -Check all assignments and assign any missing disk(s) including old disk1, so that you have the array as it was before the disk upgrade.

    -Start array to begin parity sync

    -All disks should mount correctly, if they don't post new diags (never format)

     

    When the sync is done you can try the upgrade again.

    Followed these steps and also replaced cables in Disk5. All disks mounted OK with new config and Parity sync is in progress. That should go on for another day or so.. There was a warning message about crc error count 8 in Disk5. Is that something to worry about?

    Connections on disk5, shutdown the server, check connections even if it's just removing and re-connecting the cables, power back on and post new diags, disk is still offline on the diags posted.

    Thanks! I did exactly as you suggested... shutdown, unplug and plug back in the cables for Disk5, power back on. Disk5 still shows as "Unmountable: No File System". Glance at syslog seems to indicate a corruption?? 

    Full diag attached.

    Ok got it. Here's what I was thinking .. If Disk5 was offline during last boot shouldn't I possibly still have the data preserved in that disk?

    If I do a shutdown now, re-connect cables and power back on then assuming Disk5 comes back alive then wouldn't that kickoff a parity write (invalid in my case) wiping off any good data in Disk5? Please correct my understanding.. Thanks again.

    Single parity can't emulated 2 disks, disk5 dropped offline so there's no SMART, check connections and post new diags.

     

    I assume you still have old disk1 intact?

    Yes I have the Disk1 so that data can potentially be copied into the replaced drive later if needed. I'm worried about the data in Disk5. Connections seem ok and I can feel the disk spinning. I haven't shut down the server  or done anything further yet fearing re-start might wipe out Disk5? Is it better to try and run XFS repair on Disk5 now without rebooting?
