Only thing i see is conflict on one of your plugins trying to remove/clean dir's that arent empty

1) Largest drive must always be parity drive in any RAID system. I myself just copy my data over and remove the old drive and recheck, or you could let parity rebuild the files. 2) 16GB should be plenty for what you listed you only need more RAM when doing VM's and maybe some complex docker setups. 3) Good question not 100% sure 4) There's plugins for these things or use a docker image 5) Depends how you configure it, for the reason you list alone I configure all my drives as single store so data is not spread across (easier for me to offline backup/update and recovery if multiple drive failures) FYI: SECURITY IS NON-EXISTENT so i'd suggest VPN to your (unraid)owncloud if thats what your looking to run, hopefully you have a newer router which has OPENVPN support to make things simple

I looked at your syslog and you did have multiple outside attempts (be it scans or entry attempts) Even if you moved your unraid behind a router now I'd strongly suggest you atleast reset your ISP-ip provided address if your dynamic (hopefully nobody actually pays for static)

Like the title says looking for a Dupe Checker that will run in UNRAID prefer plugin but a docker image would do. Or if there is a file manager (I need to try out krusader) with plugin support would work also.

How is the SSD cache actually used? Would I be wasting a pair of 256gb SSD's would a pair of 64gb's basiclly be better used instead? This is just cache after all. Doh! nevermind after reading unraid manual I see it's used as storage untill set task moves it.. guess I should RTFM first

Thats cool and all but have you taken a look at SNAPRAID ?? UNRAID+SNAPRAID cant go wrong

That would make sense as to anything else I played with using XFS/BTRFS drives did not spin down. Do all drives spin up using XFS/BTRFS if an item your opening is located on one drive(volume) only This was another issue I did not care for using non-unraid products (using XFS/BTRFS)

Looking to move to v6 of unraid is the reiserfs the only(& still) one that spins down the drives when not in use?
