@St33zy - Did you ever get this working?

I was organizing the cabling inside my server case and I had to unplug and replug the hard drives. It appears that I plugged the drives back into the same cables/ports, but what happens if you switched a cable? For example, let's say disk 2 was sdb and was a 4TB drive and disk 3 was sdc and was a 8TB drive. What would happen if you swapped the cables so presumably sdb would now be the 8TB drive and sdc would be the 4TB drive? Would your array still be valid? What disk would be disk 2 in unRAID? In Linux how are the sda, sdb, determined? It appears that sda is my unRAID boot drive which is a USB device. Are the other identifiers, like sdb, sdc, etc tied to specific SATA ports? So that SATA port 1 is always sdb?

Any suggestions on what tool to use to keep files on multiple machines synched? I see both DirSyncPro and LuckyBackup are maintained by ich777. Do they both do the same thing or are there differences?

Thanks, makes sense.

No, I didn't know that setting existed. Has that always been there? I don't see Management Settings on my old 6.4.1 server. That fixed the problem. Thanks Squid!

I bought the cheapest firewire card on Amazon which uses a Via chipset (VT6306/7/8) and it works perfectly. Just posting in case anyone wonders about card compatibility in the future.

A big thanks to ich777 for building this plugin. I run SageTV in a docker and use a Hauppauge HD-PVR and HD HomeRuns to capture TV and they were immediately recognized and I was able to seamlessly add these TV tuners to my system. Amazing job!

I have an older server that is still running unRAID 6.4.1. I have just built a new server that is running 6.10rc2. I can get into a CLI on the enw server by clicking on the icon in the header of the unRAID web UI, but I am unable to ssh into the unRAID server from other computers as it says "port 22: Connection refused.". I have always been unable to ssh into my old server, and I don't remember having to set anything up. Is ssh not enabled anymore? Here is what I see when I look for the ssh process from the CLI started from the unRAID broswer. root@Hoylak:/boot/config/ssh/root# ps aux |grep ssh root 9806 0.0 0.0 4248 680 ? Ss 2021 0:00 runsv sshd root 14198 0.0 0.0 3984 2220 pts/0 S+ 15:52 0:00 grep ssh root 25716 0.0 0.0 4244 804 ? Ss 13:21 0:00 runsv sshd How do I enable ssh so that I can start ssh sessions into the unRAID server from other computers, either Linux or Win?

Another vote to change the default color combo for directories. I know it can be customized, but how is this blue on green good for anyone?

I want to use Krusader to move files from a previous unRAID server to a new unRAID server. I have the remote drives mounted under the web UI in unRAID and I can see them in a bash prompt at /mnt/remotes. How do I get these to show up in Krusader? Or is there a better way to transfer large amounts of data?

But the problem that I am having is that you are supposed to shut down the docker before doing this. But when I shut down the docker I can't ssh into the docker using the command "docker exec -it unifi-controller sh". So how do you overcome this issue? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately the Unifi Canada store still says sold out. Hopefully that changes soon. Did you manually apply the log4j patch? If so how do you do that? Can you give step by step instructions as I am having issues figuring it out.

Thanks ich, so you have a build for the DVB plugin 6.10rc2? I wouldn't mind staying as current as possible and playing around with the latest features - I didn't do that with my old server which is why it is on 6.4.5!

I am building a new server and I will need the DVB driver to allow me to use HD-PVRs to record TV shows with the SageTV docker. I believe that DVB also gives FireWire support that I will likely use to change channels on my cable boxes which have this functionality. My old server is still on 6.4.5 and uses the old DVB plugin methodology. What version of unRAID should I install? Should I go with 6.9.2 or should I jump right to 6.10 as it seems to be almost ready to go. If I wanted to go with 6.10, is the DVB plugin supported in 6.10 right now.

There are some instructions about just updating the log4j jar files. How does one do this on a docker? On 6.4 and 6.5.x (likely on previous versions as well) Controller, just tried on both and it works fine, you can simply upgrade yourself the log4j jar files! 1) downloaded 2.15.0 log4j zip/tgz package from https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/download.html 2) extracted the file 3) stopped the UniFi Controller 4) moved the newly extracted files log4j-api-2.15.0.jar log4j-core-2.15.0.jar log4j-slf4j-impl-2.15.0.jar to <unifi_root>/lib/ *BUT* renaming them to overwrite the existing 2.13.3 files. You can't get them with their 2.15.0 names there, you need to overwrite the existing 2.13.3 files with the newer ones. 5) once log4j*jar files are replaced, just restart the Controller, and you're good to go! https://community.ui.com/questions/UniFi-Controller-security-concern-zero-day-Log4j-exploit/007103a6-823b-4316-ae76-17942539208c#answer/37bba54e-2145-415d-a43d-dd8fea70bbaf

Thanks. I have a USG router so that is somewhat exposed to the WAN as a router has to be.

But now 5.14 will be vulnerable to the log4j exploit, will it not?

So what if we have EOL'ed equipment and can't upgrade to 6.5.55? Like a UAP?

I agree. I will have iPhones and iPads that will support Wifi6, if not now then in the future, but that is a small minority of devices. I have a bunch of devices like Amazon Echos, LED light controllers, etc that are low bandwidth and they will never need faster speeds. And stuff like Rokus, FireTV sticks, etc, are fine on current AC wifi.

Thanks, I would like to replace my old UAPs with the U6 Lite but they seem to be extremely hard to get right now and have been for months. Whenever I search they are sold out. I might have to break down and just go with the AC Lite rather than the Wifi6. This is getting a bit off-topic, but is it worth the price differential and wait to go with Wifi6? Or is the AC unit good enough? This is just my house, but I need a bunch of APs as the house is large and the walls are not friendly to Wifi signals. So I will have no more than 40 or some clients spread out over 5-6 APs. As long as you can easily stream HD or 4K video to a phone/tablet/Roku isn't that good enough?

I am still on linuxserver/unifi-controller:5.12.72-ls61. Any reason to upgrade to 5.14 from 5.12?

Isn't it obvious that a 120mm fan will outperform an 80mm fan given 2.25X larger surface area and fan blade? Are you sure about the 10X power figure? Fans shouldn't take much power at all and I can't imagine there would be a huge difference between power consumption. Again a 120mm would be better as you could run the fan at a lower speed which should use less power, and move just as much air.

I am not sure if I can go with 6.10 RC2 as I need the DVB plugin so that I can use TV capture devices and firewire, and I am not sure if this is available for 6.10 yet or just 6.9

I am looking to build a new server to replace my 5 year old unRAID server. I am starting to see hard drive failures in my older system and want to change this system to be my backup. My unRAID system primarily acts as a media server running Docker versions of SageTV, Plex (currently infrequently), a file server, and runs dockers such as Unifi Controller, piHole, OpenVPN server, Teslamate, and a few others. I have about 11TB of files and that is now growing fairly slowly as I don't store as much media locally due to streaming. I will run an Ubuntu VM on a regular basis and likely a Win 10/11 VM. I may occasionally want to play around with other VMs. For a new system I am looking at using an Asus B560-Plus mobo and an i5-11400 CPU. I will use at least one M.2 NVME drive as a cache. I don't think I will ever need more than 4 SATA hard drives, I will be using an 8TB parity and then use an 8TB and a spare 4TB for now. I will likely install 32TB of RAM initially. Any advice on this mobo/CPU combination? Is it worth paying up a bit to upgrade the CPU to an i5-11600? I want to use an 11th Gen to have the ability to use a Gen4 NVME drive.

Any idea what firewire chipset devices would be supported by this? I believe that the two main chipsets are Texas Instruments and Via. I believe that Texas Instruments cards are generally preferred, but I have an older unRAID server running 6.4.1 with the old LibreElec DVB kernel and in this server I have a card that reports as a VT6315 Firewire Contoller, which would mean it has a Via chipset, and it works fine.
