    A fix will be in a future release so you don’t have to add this to the smb-extra.conf.

    just a heads up. A Mac photo library that is of any substantial size (like 175GB for example) blows past the 40964 open file limit when transferring to the server and the file limit has to be increased way beyond that. [learned from experience and several failures today before finding this thread and increasing to a ludicrous number to try and get this moved over]. Hopefully it will be more easily user adjustable in the future release.

    I am thinking I will upgrade my server to beta25 in the coming days, the multiple cache pools is just too enticing to wait lol.

     

    This server is active, so before I do 2 questions:

     

    1: Any outstanding issues I should be aware of?

     

    2: Any planned changes in the RC / Final 6.9 release that would be better off waiting to upgrade until then? (don't want to have to reformat the cache twice for example)

    the beta is only advised to run on test servers.

     

    to answer your questions 

     

    1. read the entire thread to learn about potential issues

     

    2. read the entire thread to learn about some potential changes and then wait and see what they are when the rc and final come out

    It's a known issue, I already made a request for this to be corrected, for now you need to subtract parity size from the total free space displayed, it's why I'm still using UD for my pools since I have multiple raid 5 pools most with different disks sizes and it's not practical to always been doing mental calculations.

     

    That's another known issue, I also reported the same before.

     

    It appears i'm just late to the party on everything today… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

  4. I'm not sure raid5 in pools is working properly. I gave it the following disk sizes: 4,4,4,3,4,3,4 = 26 TB. Ran a raid 5 balance, shows:

     

    Data, RAID5: total=6.00GiB, used=1.75MiB
    System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=16.00KiB
    Metadata, RAID1: total=1.00GiB, used=112.00KiB
    GlobalReserve, single: total=3.25MiB, used=0.00B

     

    but the web gui on the main tab shows 26TB free…. 

     

    raid 0,1,10 all end up with useable space as expected.

    Also, clicking spin down underneath the pool doesn't seem to work. this new pool has nothing use it. Same issue with another single disk pool, no spin down, even when using the spin down button at the bottom of the web gui.

  5. so, i broke it.

     

    I attempted to add 2 pools (i had previously added 2 simple single and doulbe device pools and removed them with no issue). I make a new pool called backup with mixed file formats on the disks assuming it would format them. Server hung on mounting disks.

    i was able to get it to shutdown via webgui. upon reboot I was greeted with the option to format the disks in the pool.

    Yes.

     

    Every pool is an independent filesystem, and xfs "pools" can only be single device, if a share exists on different pools data will be merged together by shfs when accessing that share.

    so to make sure I understand, if I want  to use 3 disks using xfs, I'll need to create 3 xfs pools each with a single disk, and then then create a share that specifies those pools and Unraid will do the rest, correct?

  7. maybe I missed this, but can different cache pools be mixed formats, as in main cache btrfs, second pool xfs? and if so, when pooled with xfs does it span data or stripe? Looking at using a pool for a backup copy of data on a few drives with the of accessibility xfs provides for recovery.

     

    thanks

  8. upgraded a z400 without issue except for needing to remove some pcie specifications from vm xml that was used as a workaround for something that is now patched.

     

    Pleasantly surprised with a faster web GUI and safari support in launching webgui windows for dockers. 

     

     

    but still no multiple cache pools.....

    SUPER SAD FACE :(

     

    (but thanks for everything else!)
