  1. Is the issue here the difference between dockerhub and github? Not everything in github is in dockerhub, correct?
  2. I'm an idiot. Somehow, my vdisk migrated from the cache drive to the array. I moved it back and that did the trick. Squid, to your point about the protected array being 4x slower, I was seeing 2 orders of magnitude of slower progress with inserts/updates to the database. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
  3. Yes, I should have been more clear that I've been experimenting, moving shares back and forth from cache to the array (and forcing the mover to run after making changes). Am I wrong to believe the mover will handle the shift from one place to the other based on the cache settings for the share? I thought I observed that behavior when I changed the settings and forced the mover to run. Sounds like you are pretty certain that the slow performance is due to NOT being on the cache drive? I wondered if there are other settings I need to look into. Larry
  4. Hello, I have terrible MariaDB insert/update performance on an unRaid VM running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The virtual image is stored at /mnt/user/domains/ which I've tried both on cache disk (btrfs) and within the array (xfs). Is there something obvious I should be looking for? As a test, I installed the MariaDB docker image and the data directory is on spinning disks (/mnt/usr/appdata). Tests reveal this database is much faster than the same database on the VM. In both cases, the same unRaid server (i7-8700K, 32GB RAM) is the host machine. Thoughts appreciated. Larry tower-diagnostics-20220618-1155.zip
  5. I've been running OpenVPN via Unraid docker for some time and it works great. I just noticed that WireGuard is being offered as a preferred alternative so I decided to install that and try it out. I have to say the install and client setup with QR Code was a breeze. I want to use WireGuard as a tunnel into my LAN, so I set it up that way. Now, I'm reading that in order to do this and play nice with my VMs and other docker stuff, I need to define a static route in my router that sends the traffic over to WireGuard. I cannot do this with my Eero mesh router. Am I correct that a static route is needed for my use case? Other than installing another device that can receive the traffic and forward to WireGuard, is there another way? Do I have to move off of OpenVPN, assuming the docker might eventually be pulled from the unraid marketplace? Thanks!
  6. Thanks for the list. I'll be ordering a new card from it. Can installation of a driver at the O/S level affect the BIOS? Seems like any awareness of hardware at the BIOS boot screen would require flashing the BIOS itself? Just for my sanity, is it possible for the Marvell 9215 to cause the flaky behavior I described? I preclear the drive, add it to the array, parity rebuilds it, and then it pretty much immediately flips to a red X. This seems to be the pattern now with drives larger than 4TB.
  7. I need your advice on debugging a problem with my server. I have a Marvell SATA controller to expand the server from 6 to 8 hard drives (I now know that I shouldn't be using such a cheap controller, so I plan to look into that). Here is the hardware report from lspci: # lspci | grep SATA 00:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH SATA controller [AHCI mode] 02:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9215 PCIe 2.0 x1 4-port SATA 6 Gb/s Controller (rev 11) I noticed that in the BIOS, the 6 drives connected directly to the motherboard are reported, but the 2 drives connected to the Marvell controller are not reported. Yet, upon boot, fdisk -l reports all 8 drives (plus usb flash and m.2 cache). This seems odd, no? Shouldn't the BIOS see all eight drives? I'm pretty sure that the Marvell controller was working with 4TB drives, but recently, when I attempted to upgrade to an 8TB drive, the drive keeps going offline with a red X. Do we know if this Marvell 9215 SATA controller has trouble with 8TB drives? If this is likely the issue I am having, then I'll be moving quickly to locate and install something better. Is there a SATA controller that is recommended? Or, should I be looking at a SAS HBA like the LSI 9211-8i?? Thanks, Larry
  8. I'm interested in running a squid proxy server I found at docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/sameersbn/squid There's no unraid template for this container that I can find, so I'm looking for guidance on how I can get this up and running. I was able to install the container, but I haven't configured it properly, so it won't respond to requests. For example, I am not sure what kind of network config it needs: host, bridge, or custom. I can see that the documentation suggests it needs at least two parameters: --publish 3128:3128 --volume /srv/docker/squid/cache:/var/spool/squid I think I can pass these in as extra parameters in the unraid docker template? Or should I just set up a mapping in the template? Can I assume that /srv/docker/squid/cache is intended to be a path on the host and should be adapted as /mnt/cache/appdata/squid? Advice appreciated!
  9. Mine is not running automatically. Is there a way to schedule it?
  10. Good idea. None found. It very well could have been a docker container I misconfigured, tested, and then deleted.
  11. Not sure how that got there, but it was mostly empty, so I renamed it to see what happens. Meanwhile, the warning went away.
  12. I noticed I have a /mnt/user/cache directory. Maybe that is it? tower-diagnostics-20201126-1904.zip
  13. I just noticed this warning on my server: Share cache is identically named to a disk share While there *may be* (doubtful) valid use cases for having a share named identically to a disk share, this is only going to cause some confusion as if disk shares are enabled, then you will have duplicated share names, and possibly if disk shares are not enabled, then you might not be able to gain access to the share. This is usually caused by moving the contents of one disk to another (XFS Conversion?) and an improperly placed slash. The solution is to move the contents of the user share named cache to be placed within a validly named share. Ask for assistance on the forums for guidance on doing this. I checked the Shares tab on the console and I do not see a share named "cache." I do have a device named "cache" on the Main tab. Thoughts?
  14. Yes, the router needs the MAC address of the NIC to make the reservation. I'm comfortable making the change -- just verifying before I get into it and take down all my stuff.
  15. I got a new Eero mesh router and I later noticed that my OpenVPN docker container was not responding. Turns out, I forgot to port-forward, so I hop on the router and find the right spot to do that. After several tries, I realized that this stupid router will not forward a port without first setting up an IP reservation (but I don't need that since I have unraid set to a static IP locally). So I try and try and realize this will not work on a device already set to a static IP. My question is...before I stop all my VMs and Docker containers and make the network change to DHCP, will unraid (more specifically, my VMs and containers) be happy with a "static" IP handed out via DHCP IP reservation? Just confirming before I shut 'er down and try. Larry
