  1. Hi all, I have external hard drive that is used to backup adobe premiere files from a mac to Unraid. This hard drive is connected to windows 10 machine with SynbackSE. I'm getting a lot of errors in syncback log all of them dot_ files all from the back. Rather than ignore these is there any way to copy these. I'm not sure if these are needed for the mac or else I could just set syncbackse to ignore them. Curious though how I can enable these to be copied via SMB if needed
  2. Hi this might be the wrong thread to ask this in. I'm looking at using luckybackup to back up my UNRAID Shares to external USB Drive via unassigned devices. I wanted to see if luckybackup would support any functionality to start a backup when the USB Drive is plugged in. Or minimum scheduled backup USB Drive plugged in. Thanks
  3. Thanks this is good to know! I was leaning towards NTFS as we are mostly windows based but wasnt sure how rubust it would be. It would be my preference over ExFAT as my understanding would be its a little more robust (could be wrong). thanks for the suggestions!
  4. Hi all, I'm looking to setup a 16TB external hard drive on my unraid server as a backup. The ideal scenario is that this is used encase unraid goes down. I'd love to be able to use the drive on Windows & MacOS natively. I'm leaning towards EXFAT, but wanted to if anyone had any other suggestions. This will be used to store large production video files - so a lot of files larger than 4GB Thanks
  5. Just a bump for this realized it was in the wrong forum Keen to know what people are mostly using for online cloud backup at the moment and if there are any strong contenders / shortlist.
  6. Hi all, I've setup an UNRAID server at work with around 35TB of storage. I estimate we will be using around 10TB of storage over time for archiving video production files. These will be a combination of raw footage and adobe premiere files that will be archived onto UNRAID from SSD Drives once the projects are completed. My plan is to have UNRAID backup the files onto cloud storage as an extra measure + a external hard drive. I wanted to ask if there is anyone doing something similar around video production and what cloud backup services you may be using on UNRAID. Some high level requirments would be the following 1. Ideally Docker that can backup to the cloud ongoing or given frequency 2. It is usefull to have the files available on cloud i.e. dropbox or googledrive as the videographers may need access to files from time to time out of the office 3. I'm less woried about version history etc.. as files wont change much Any tips or advise would be ace!
  7. Hi all, I have an unraid server at home, Would love to set something up small in the office. I currently have an old QNAP nas running unraid but would prefer to get newer hardware. I don't plan to do any streaming of this box, it will mostly be storage + backup + Dockers. I would love something that is small ideally ITX (dont have plans to put more than 4 HD's and one or two SSD. Any suggestions on motherboard + CPU Combo? not looking for anything server grade. Motherboard that can support ideally 6 Sata - 2x SSD + 4 HD I also assume the Node 304 is probably the best case for this setup unless others suggest something better
  8. Hi all Similar to Sknxk Iam getting the following errors on UNRAID 6.8.3 preclear plugin 2021.01.03 This is brand new unraid build on a old NAS.

  9. Hi all love some help here. Based on JorgeB response. I'm trying to work out what would be the best way to wipe Cache SSD disk and then start the array (which i assume the cache pool will re-sync. My initial thoughts to be safe was to just take the SSD out and wipe it on another machine. Is there an easy way to do this within Unraid? with out me getting too complicated? Thanks!
  10. Hi Johnnie Yes cache2 is working to Wipe cache 1 do I need to unassign it, format it and then add it back? that simple?
  11. Hi all I took out my unraid server this weekend to give it a clean with high pressure air I connected everything up started the array and docker service was unavailable. I noticed that my cache disk was not online. So I decided to shutdown the system, re-plugin all the sata / power cables and bring it back up. Long story short, after deleting docker image I was still running into problems with unraid BTRFS warning (device loop2): csum failed root 5 type of problems in my event log. **I've managed to solve this by disconnecting my cache 0 Disk - 500GB SSD** I've now been able to restore my docker images from my templates and everything is running. What i'm unsure of is the best way to join the cache Disk back to the BTRFS pool. i've come across the following thread so hoping for some advice to make sure i dont stuff this up - **FYI i'm on UNRAID 6.5.3** **The Steps i'm proposing to do are the following, would love some guidance** 0. Take backup of appdata, libvert with CA backup plugin 1. Shutdown array 2. Re-connect cache disk - SSD500GB 3. Restart unraid 4. Un-assign cache disk - SSD500GB 5. Re-assign cache 2 disk to cache slot 6. start aray 7. Check all is working Stop array 8. Format unnassigned drive 9. assign formatted drive to cache 2 slot **10. not sure if I will need to do anything else** Thanks for your help!
  12. Hi all some of you may be wondering why i'm bothering with this I'm trying to run UNRAID on a old QNAP 659 PRO II - (as a backup UNRAID server) The QNAP is a Intel version (Intel atom 1.8Ghz CPU) I have read online multiple people have had success booting UNRAID. However I keep running into this problem. I have tried 1. Set the USB to - Hard Drive (Fixed) 2. Created two separate USB sticks 3. Currently doing a Memtest on the 1GB RAM STICK Anything else I should try / think about? Thanks!
  13. Ok Just a heads up on this I pretty sure it was my Unifi container causing issues after an update. I did however upgrade to 6.5.3 and everything works fine. I still need to try to diagnose the issues with the Unifi container
  14. Hi all, I set up UNRAID about 9 months ago. It was a painful process for me to get my head around the architecture and setup process. But now boy am I glad I made the move! I have my UNRAID server running at home with the basics, storage of all NAS data + a couple of dockers (I must admit Dockers have blown me away) I still have my old ESXi Server on HP Microserver G7 I think which is mainly running my Domain Controller and thats about it. Originally I had my ESXI server VM's on my QNAP NAS via NFS but decided to just go with local SSD. So my question is as follows! is anyone else still running ESXi + UNRAID? Why are you doing this? I'm thinking about a couple of options moving forward 1. Should I build another UNRAID Server and put my VM's on it like my domain controller (Benefit of local copy of data) 2. Should I Build a ESX-i / Hyper-V Server and put my VM's on it and use it as a secondary storage location 3. Is there something else I should consider? with family and kids these days my approach is to simplify the architecture in my home and overhead with managing multiple platforms. love to hear peoples journey on this
  15. Ok I have tried to see if there is a specific container causing this issue but cant seem to find it. The weird thing is that CA Advisor shows memory at 96% however when i run Docker stats The memory on each container is hardly being used. Any thoughts anyone? or what else to check for?
  16. Yes, should I upgrade? LOL if so I will have to reschedule the upgrade in with my wife! Is it pretty easy to upgrade now? I know there was quite a lot of manual steps when 6.4 6.5
  17. Hi all, I am having some weird issues which looks like its coming from my Docker Engine. The issue started about a week ago and comes across as these symptoms 1. Dockers seem unresponsive i.e. Emby Tvheadend etc.. 2. When I go to the Docker menu - They are all showing as running however when I try to goto their respective Webui they are not responsive 3. I Dont think stopping and Starting makes any difference Below are a set of steps I have tried 1. Delete Docker Img - re-create and add all containers back 2. Docker image is 30GB with 5GB being used 3. stopping and starting docker engine from command line via /etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop / start seems to restore things I have ran a diagnostic and I see these two errors come up int the Docker log file time="2018-08-02T06:17:24.90385105+10:00" level=info msg="stopping containerd after receiving terminated" time="2018-08-03T17:51:27.298044846+10:00" level=info msg="stopping containerd after receiving terminated" Any advice or thoughts to help troubleshoot would be ace!
  18. Hi all, I am using the above script but having an issue where Sonarr is picking up the file while it is downloading and copying to the folder incomplete. Is there anyway for lftp to lock the file while it is complete the transfer?
  19. Wierdcrap a couple of questions for your setup 1. Are you mapping the remote mount via unraid (not docker containers) 2. Are you just doing one mount i.e. /remotefolder and then mapping the respective folders to your Docker containers i.e. remotefolder/container1 - remotefolder/container2? or are you creating separate mount points per docker?
  20. Ok! I got the mount working and tested it. I had to change the cipher as my remote host didnt support the one on the above command. if you run executing sshfs - run the -o debug switch to help troubleshot. I spent a lot of my time setting up the public key on the remote server and have it tested. For those interested I had to do the following ssh-keygen -t rsa enter the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in one line (needs to start with ssh-rsa) chmod 700 ~/.ssh chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys Depending on your distro you might need to play around with .ssh/authorized_keys or authorized_keys2 I would suggest testing this with Putty first and then going from there..
  21. Wierdcrap, So just to confirm the mount point for SSHFS is within UNRAID not the docker container itself. Have you tried or could you mount the remote directory directly within the docker container?
  22. Thanks for this! I'll give it a go and document anything further to help others. I installed SSHSF from nerd pack but when i run sshsf from CLI it dosnt recognize it so i'll give the server a reboot and try the following tonight. I have also found some instructions on creating the SSH Private key / public key so will post this for others using a remote server
  23. Hi WC, I had a look at the link you originally posted - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-sshfs-to-mount-remote-file-systems-over-ssh I assume that you would need to install sshfs via unraid CLI - sudo apt-get install sshfs
  24. Hi wierdcrap, I have been searching high and low for this as I am in the exact situation. so will try it tonight. I wanted to ask a couple of questions hoping you can guide me as I am new to docker 1. Does the above command go into the extra parameters field in my docker app i.e. Sonarr? 2. Does my local path need to be a real folder i.e. /mnt/user/downloads/complete - or does it create the local folder? 3. what does the identify file do? is this the sshkey file? is identifyFile= where you define where to store it or do you need to place a identify file in that folder? Appreciate your help!
