[Unassigned Devices - Managing Disk Drives and Remote Shares Outside of The Unraid Array]

Hi,

 

Looking into this topic, I can't find anyone asking to use a nfs mount in staid of SMB.

 

I would like to export a nfs mount from one of my unassigned disk. I dont need to be in the pool array.

 

Anyway to achieve this ?

 

I tried manually adding the share in /etc/exports.. it works but if I add/mod/delete a share in the pool array, the nfs mount disappears .

 

Thank for any info

[Request 15 day trial extension]

Hi,

 

Where can I request a extention trial period ?

 

There are no links/button or else in the registration page on the server and the docs says that there should be one.

 

Thank you,

[LSI controller - long time to start]

Hi,

 

I just bought a LSI-9211-8i and installed it on a SuperMicro X11SSH-LN4F-O

The firmware on it is P19 and I think that the MPT2BIOS is 7.xx

The card came already flashed in IT

 

When starting the server, it "hangs" for about 2 minutes on the MPT bios strings then start.

 

entering the bios on the card works. So does the card.

 

I also set the card for boot to DISABLED in the firmware.

 

 

But is it normal for the card to take so long to boot ?

 

Thanks 

[Between 2 motherboards and flashing controllers]

The 4 ports is something that is great. and further more, I have a 24 gigabit switch Layer2 with LACP support so, I should be able to make a 4Gig trunk.

 

The 8 ports on the newer board is a bit short on me since I have almort is not all the HDD to fill those ports.

 

but Yes, going towards the newer version.

 

I dont actually need more slots as I dont want to put GPU cards and have them passed to VMs. (only windows/linux without GUI). so I think this board will do nicely

 

 

[Between 2 motherboards and flashing controllers]

Hi all,

 

I'm new to unraid but seen the stuff this can do 

 

i'm in instance of purchasing my hardware and confronted between 2 motherbords.

 

I would like my setup to do : storage of course, a couple of VMs, and a couple of Dockers.

 

both are supermicro

#1 : X11SSH-LN4F with v5 e3-1230 xeon processor and 32Gb DDR-4 RAM

#2 : X10SL7-F with v3 e3-1231 xeon processor and 32GB DDR-3 RAM

 

setup #1 is latest (i think) but dosent have a LSI controller and 8 SATA ports directly connected to the C236 chip

I know that #2 is quite older (a bit more than 3year old) but has a LSI controller that need to be flash in IT mode to work with unraid

 

 

Thank for any advise on this

What would be the best choice AND do I need to flash anything on setup #1 ?
