Hi, is there a way I can get a bulk SMART report - i.e. a listing of all the drives without needing to click through each one in the Drives menu? I just like to see which is my oldest drive and hence the one to replace. Thanks.

Is Cache_Dir incompatible with OSX? It seems OSX will do a disk read no matter what, leading to it bypassing the directory cache? I wonder if OSX is trying to read the .ds_store file containing the folder meta data. If so, it would be good if unRAID has some way of keeping the .ds_store file on a SSD cache, thereby negating the need to spin up the whole array to read these small files. Does anyone know if there is a way to do that?

ISCSI would be a nice addition to unRAID, but I fear that the speeds won't be very good. I'm not sure if iSCSI is implemented it will be able to leverage the cache drive properly unless the iSCSI file is chunked into small blocks. If that were the case, it would add a lot of load to mover? Also, while Synology has iSCSI, it's implementation seems really flaky - I've been having a lot of issues with Windows 2012 R2 connecting to it after a reboot. So if unRAID were to implement iSCSI, hopefully it would be done properly.

Hi all, My pfSense server crashed last night and my unRAID server lost it's IP address. How do I renew the IP from the command line? Thanks.

So I guess this has not been resolved? Can anyone recommend another Transmission docker image or a torrent image with better support? Thanks.

I'm also having the problem with my settings not saving in the wrench icon screen. Was this resolved? I'm running the latest version of the docker image and it's still resetting the settings each time I restart the image. Thanks.

Hi all, I removed all the checksums from my disks, but I still have several "checkboxes" indicating the build is up-to-date. Shouldn't removing the checksums reset the state of the plug-in?

That's something I'd like to know too. I suppose since this is Linux, you are expected to unmount the file system yourself, before detaching. And probably Linux GUI's (KDE, etc) provide a button or function that will execute the appropriate unmounts, comparable to 'safely remove'. I think stop array is pretty much the equivalent of "safely remove" for assigned devices.

Hot-swap works with unRAID - I was able to pop new drives into the free slots in unRAID and it was detected by the system. This worked fine with my Intel H61M SATA Ports, AsMedia ASM-1061 onboard controller, and a HighPoint RocketRaid 2720SGL (Marvel 88SE9840). If using SATA ports, you have to set them to ACHI mode in your bios for hot-swap to work properly. As for pulling assigned devices and hot-swapping them, I don't think that is supported by unRAID.

The reason for the seemingly quick rescan time is so that it won't have to spin up the drives. Cache-dirs attempts to keep the directory structures in memory by rescanning all the time. (Linux if the directory structure isn't used in a while will automatically drop it from memory) Ah - so it's primarily a memory scan to keep the data in RAM and prevent a flush. If the data is flushed, cache_dir will then do a physical scan and reload the data. Thanks for the clarification, I was wondering how it worked.

Hi all, What does the Minimum interval between folder scans (sec) and Maximum interval between folder scans (sec) do? Does cache_dir physically scan based on these parameters? So will it spin up the drives every 10 seconds (default maximum interval) to search directories for new entries? Thanks.
