That doesn't seem like a valid host path for unRAID. Are you trying to start this from the command line instead of the docker page in the GUI?

Why aren't you installing it from the GUI Install Plugins page?

Post a syslog that includes these recent activities.

The read and write size can be used to limit the amount of memory preclear uses. Usually not an issue unless you are doing multiple disks at once or have very small RAM. See here

What do you see if you browse that folder in MC?

At the unRAID command line, that path is "/mnt/disk9/Movies/Captain Amer". The easiest way to get there and delete it is to use Midnight Commander. At the command line, just type mc

I think you may be having a misunderstanding about the word share. Anyway, you indicated you had used putty. When you log in to the server as root, you should have permission to delete anything. If the file was open then maybe it wouldn't let you delete it. Where exactly is the folder?

Another reason for putting the config, which is the applications "working storage", on cache instead of the parity protected array is because any writes to the parity protected array will also write to parity, so you would have two disks spinning.

unRAID automatically makes a user share for any folder at the top level of cache or an array data disk. So, if you create a folder at the top level of a disk, and you have user shares enabled, then you have effectively created a user share whether you actually go to the shares page and add that as a share or not. That user share will have default settings if you don't set them.

As you can see from your volume mappings, only a subfolder of /nobody is actually mapped to unRAID. So, /nobody itself is inside the container, and the file you have created is taking up space in your docker .img file. You should remove the container and image in order to clean up your docker .img file. Then add the container again from your template, and when you use it, make sure you make it output to a folder that is mapped to unRAID. That is probably what your /Output folder is for. if he wants the converted file outputted, if he hasn't killed the container yet that is... docker exec -it HandBrake mv /nobody/*.m4v /Output/ from the unraid command line should give him it. Wasn't sure I should give him that opportunity to pollute his docker .img further since his understanding is a little uncertain.

Are you trying to delete by referring to the cache disk or by referring to a user share with files on the cache disk? Whichever answer, what do you have for that disk / share SMB Security Settings?

What are your volume mappings?

You could probably come up with some XSL and plug it in here.

Do these buttons have any sort of "Are You Sure" verification? I get accidental clicks a lot when connecting to the WebGUI via a touch screen. Nope, it's like real buttons ... the moment you press them and off it goes! Thanks. I vote for including the powerdown plugin with this and also maybe add verification functionality based on the Confirmation Settings.

Thanks Trurl & BobPhoenix - I was able to use my main key in another machine to start PreClear on one of my drives through Console, though not both simultaneously. Now that it's going, it will be perhaps a bit more difficult to determine which drive was PreCleared since both are running. Not sure how long this will take - probably several days and I will have to do it again for the other drive, although it will allow me to create a new Larger Parity Drive when the 1st one is complete. Without an additional Sata Slot, is there a simple way to move data to a larger drive so that it can be removed/replaced or should I simply do a disk copy over the network and/or computer to computer. My Tower does have another Network Card which might be possible to use between computers w/o going through a switch. Not exactly sure how but.. Suggestions welcomed! Dave The usual way would be to just rebuild a smaller disk onto a larger one. Were you wanting to use a different file system on the new drives?

Me too. Wonder why it wasn't blocking it before.

Just use any old flash drive and boot up with 5.0 or 6.0 unRAID and preclear your disks on the other machine. You don't need a key for that as far as I know but I will say I've only used unRAID 5.0 for this so cannot confirm about 6.0. I do know 4.7 would be limited to 2.2TB disks in the array so likely it wouldn't preclear > 2.2TB correctly. You must use the latest preclear. It will work on unRAID 5 or 6.

Can we assume this is only for v6? Might be a good idea to note that in the OP.

My wife's been gone for the weekend also. So it was either do some programming, or yardwork. I elected programming (and will probably get yelled at for not doing the yardwork later on today) lol, well I'm sure everyone here understands your choice of programming. That sounds so much better than 100 degree yardwork... I seem to recall Squid being a Canuck, so maybe his yard isn't as hot as mine. For some reason my wife thinks I spend entirely too much time here.

I removed the poll at Squid's request.

Don't know the answer but for comparison, I am not running any VMs and I have 16GB RAM.
