  1. Hi @JonathanM, thx for such a brisk answer. I wasn`t sure about the parity drive logic so kudos to your comment. I don`t have other 12TBs on me at the moment so can`t perform the action I pointed out above....now it`s clear to me. I do have backups but it`d take ages to restore them....that`s why I was asking Btw all data drives returned SMART extended status as OK and parity check ended tonight with 0 errors...since then I haven`t started the array in normal mode, only maintance. Therefore, I`ll start the upgrade process as per your comment. In case everything goes fine, I won`t bother you any further 🙂
  2. Hi! I wanted to consult my situation before performing the upgrade. My aim is to upgrade both parity and one data drive - upgrading my 6TBs to 12TBs. I`m scared of data loss or any other crap that might happen during the upgrade and honestly, I`m not confident with just replacing the parity drive, let it sync and then do the same with data drive (because my server uses just 1 parity drive). Therefore, all I wanted to consult is this procedure: - upgrade/update everything in the server so it runs the latest SW - disable all planned activities (mover, parity checks, backups) - disable autostart of the array & docker/VMs - perform flash backup - start array in maintance mode & let it sync the parity - unmount SSD cache disk (assigned in cache pool) and pull out completely - mount the new 12TB drive instead of cache and make it 2nd parity drive - let the new parity drive sync - pull out old data drive & put in new 12TB new one - let the server rebuild the data drive - pull out 1st old parity drive (6TB one) - put in cache drive to the original slot - rewind all the changed settings - live happily ever after Summary: - old state: 1 parity (6TB) + 4 x data (6TB) + 1 SSD cache - new state: 1 parity (12Tb) + 3 x data (6tb) + 1 x data (12TB) + 1 SSD cache) Is this procedure safe & and actually doable? Have I forgotten anything which should be definitely done? PS: My MB offers 6 SATA ports, all of which are used. I wouldn`t be asking if I had large server with all the SATA slots I needed. Thx a lot for the response! (I`m getting gray hair and haven`t even started )

    Czech translation

    Hi. I was just wondering that making a Czech translation might be a good project. @pavuucek pls let me know if I can assist, make revisions or dig a bit deeper
  4. Hi there! Is there anyone who could help me out with setup a live TV stream via Evolveo Mars to Plex? I was thinking about somehow installing drivers for the Mars in unraid, but I’m not able to pass the signal thru. The goal is to watch live tv via plex (free version). thx guys
  5. That was exactly what I meant ! Thx for all replies guys :)
  6. Hello. Having running my unRaid server for several months, I must say I`m very satisfied with the overall system. The only thing that`s still bothering me is the network write/read speed. Having 5 disks in the array (6tb parity + 4x6tb data), average speed on write tends to be 35-65 Mbit/s. My disk setup has XFS as default file system . Specs: - 4x WD RED + 1x Seagate Archive - 1 gb network card + 1 gb switch - 8 gm RAM - i3 CPU - ALL HDDs RUN ON SATA (MBs chipset) I`d like to raise some questions: 1) Can I somehow speed up my network write/read speed? (I mean copying data via SAMBA over 1gb ethernet switch) 2) Is my array set in some sort of RAID or does XFS work more like JBOD? Thax for your help :)
  7. Thx to both of you, I got a new ordered
  8. Hello! Yesterday I recieved a notification about the health of my array. According to the unRaid I cannot reassign my parity drive as it seems faulty. I am attatching the last thorough SMART test of the faulty parity drive. Is there anyone who could me help me interpret the data it spitted out? Plus, resolve whether to zero-erase the drive and reuse or buy a new one and smash the old one? Thx mediaserver-smart-20180326-1625.zip
  9. Hi there! Is there someone to help me out with setting up Slack notification? A step-by-step manual would help a lot ? Many thanks
