Can you be more specific? What vulnerabilities are you referring to? Vulnerabilities are ranked differently based on the complexity, feasibility of the execution and impact on Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (aka CIA) . And you measure your own risks, @limetech addresses appropriates risks in a timely fashion as we've seen in the past. I'd like to get more context around this, what are you eluding to and what risks do you need mitigated.

Prices are in CAD. The drive average is 16K-19K Hours. There 3-4 drives that had 27K hours, I'll dig those up separately and let you know if the hours are a concern (Do note that these drives are MTBF of 1,000,000+ Hours). All WD Gold 4TB Drives are 16K-19K range. No warranty remaining, these were purchased through the partner program and only had 1 year to begin with. However, using KillDisk does a thorough erase with confirmation so the drives completed the procedure OK.

You should be fine, even the slow down doesn't kick in right away. They give you leeway for a bit before they enforce it.

Mostly pictures, videos and documents (filled out applications, signed documents, personal files, work files, etc). Duplicati creates a local db (index) of the files you have encrypted, sliced into smaller chunks and uploaded to the cloud. It is your responsibility to backup duplicati data, without it you'd be dead in the water. Is it reliable? I haven't had issues until I pushed over 40TB for testing of (large) bogus content. At that time I noticed that if the backup was interrupted it had difficulties restarting. Now if you want turn-key solution, backblaze is pretty good. As for me personally, I am OK with jottacloud. I have multiple unraid servers (5 to be exact) and one only gets turned on to do rsync for backups of the critical stuff. The general rule of thumb is the '3-2-1 backup'. 3 copies of the critical data, 2 physical and 1 remote (cloud). Anything that is critical, have it initially on the redundant storage array, separate copy stored on an external drive/USB/another server and one copy (encrypted) on a cloud provider just in case.

I think they drop it down to 10mbit. I have stress tested it and uploaded 30TB at some point, they can hold it alright. In either case, even if the speeds are reduced for uploads, they are still bearable for the uploads. At the end of the day, it is what you value most that you should invest in most. My backups are incremental and therefore the speed reduction hasn't really impacted my ability to backup critical data as it runs over night and the chunks are not that big.

Since we are talking about cloud backups: unRAID -> duplicati (+ AES 256 encryption) -> jottacloud (unlimited @ $99/yr)

Upgraded my array, these drives are in a good condition and have been fully tested and fully wiped using kill disk.

Let's work together to repair this relationship. I love this community and what unRAID has become. Seeing it evolve over a decade shows the strength of this one united large family. Let's fix this, we are better than that. I have re-read the comments and although they are good points, this does not help us re-unite. @limetech, came through and did the initial steps with a public apology attempting to repair the relationship and yes, wounds do not heal overnight, but it is a two-way street. I cannot repair it, but from a community member perspective, it hurts to see it fall apart - let's stay united and kind. Again, we are better than this.

What do your temps look like? Considering things can get pretty hot when parity check kicks in, i am curious. This definitely looks great!

No, you need to boot the EFI shell via UEFI. Format your USB to FAT32 and put the shell on the root of the device then boot the shell, there should be an option in the bios to do so. https://superuser.com/questions/1057446/how-do-i-boot-to-uefi-shell NOTE: Prior to proceeding with the firmware downgrade, please review the differences between MBR and UEFI boot mechanisms and review how you can boot an EFI shell.

lsi-flash-efi.zip This works in EFI via the attached efi shell.

-- Very Nice!

-- What is inside? I like the case. Can you break it down into parts ? Much appreciated.

Here is a good example of a decent deal: SuperMicro X9SCL Motherboard w/ Intel Xeon E3-1240 v2 & I/O Shield - $99USD : https://www.ebay.com/itm/264691578596 Supermicro X9SCL-F Motherboard w/ Intel Xeon E3-1230v2 3.30GHz 16GB ECC Ram IPMI $135 https://www.ebay.com/itm/193287716939 Supermicro X10SLL-F Motherboard w/ Xeon E3 1240v3 3.4Ghz CPU 16G ECC ram and HSU $187 https://www.ebay.com/itm/193254364339

My systems are not fancy either. We are talking about something along the lines of X9SCL + 16GB DDR3 ECC RAM + E3 1245L + 9211 8i HBA. These are not expensive setups, you can find these pretty cheap on ebay. Money is money and remember, if you go super cheap - that won't last either. Strike the right balance. There are systems that take years to build as you buy it piece by piece through out the year, also do note - migrating from system to another system is pretty seamless process - take the usb and plug it in a new system (more or less should work out of the box there as well).

When I first joined the unRAID family, I also was thinking about discounts and promotions. Then I used the software for a few years watching the community thrive, provide support and developers listen to the community and address issues, review suggestions and then deliver. I think by now I own 5 pro licenses and I could not be happier, even if I do not need the full fledged license, I still bought it to support the project and the endless hours the developers put in to support the community. We have to think about the time that the devs put in into R&D, most people only want to see the results - but behind each success story is the 'blood and tears' in making it work, making it stable and reliable. Anyways, welcome to the community! After years of using unRAID for a handful of use-cases - I can say with a high degree of confidence, you will love it. Do note, this solution will probably won't do EVERYTHING you wish for, but it will do most: - Docker containers - VMs - Reliable Array And always remember, the 'simple' is the new 'fancy'. Whichever solution you decide to build, should be well documented and well operated. For critical data always have two backups and a contingency plan if something goes down, hence potentially buying another unRAID server license to have a back-up setup for critical data should suffice. I have an unRAID server that is mostly 'off' and I do a monthly 'rsync' of critical documents and pictures. Cheers!

I hope you folks understand that you are buying a 'lifetime' license with free upgrades - I don't think this gets any better than this. When you put it in perspective of what the OS will be like in 5-10 years - think about the investment now.

Beta22 already? Man you guys are working fast. And that's a major release, kudos to the diligence done in testing and fixes!

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. For now I managed to get python2 to automatically re-install using the following procedure: -- 1) Create custom init.d script for the docker container: /config/custom-cont-init.d/python2.sh 2) Add content: #!/bin/bash echo "**** installing python2 ****" apk add --no-cache python2 3) chmod it: chmod +x /config/custom-cont-init.d/python2.sh -- Reference: https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/09/14/customizing-our-containers/ Cheers.

Are you sure? -- # apk add python2 fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz (1/1) Installing python2 (2.7.18-r0) Executing busybox-1.31.1-r16.trigger OK: 113 MiB in 52 packages --

Please add python2 back to support legacy plugins. apk add python2 Thanks.

As we grow older we just want things to work without high unnecessary overhead of maintenance. unRAID strikes a perfect balance. You can quote me on that.

Ha! That literally took me back a decade, boy does the time fly fast. Running "Barton" Anthlon XP 2500+ @ 3200+ speeds and soldering that transistor on Radeon 9500 to convert it to 9700... Those were the fun days. Windows XP with Zune theme, running 1GB of ram and some Q3 and urban terror. Enjoy:
