thansk johnnie, going to shutdown , fix and start up again!

Hi , unraid server disk 3 is rebuilding the data, its going sooo slow (200k a second) (See image 1) Disk 2 is complaining about errors (its fine , its just CRC errors,going to replace sata cable) (see image 2 ) im looking to cancel the the rebuild shut it down change the sata cable on disk 2 power back on again. Question is will it rebuild again ?(happy it start from scratch, as long as it does it)

Thanks for the reply Yes can browse to it when started) See attached image.

tl;dr - disk unplugged, now unraid (version 6.1.9) is treating it as a new disk, if i start the array online to rebuild, will the data come back Hi , accidentally unplugged a drive, while unraid was running. Unraid complained the disk was missing, rebooted unraid. On power up it was saying " device is disabled,contents emulated" Searching the forum i came across a similar query which was "parity Device is disabled, contents emulated " So reading on what they did... i stopped the array , unassigned the disk, started the array, then stopped the array, then went to assign the disk back in again.. I have yet to start the array because.. Its now treating the disk as a new disk , with the words "Start will bring the array on-line, start Data-Rebuild, then expand the file system (if possible). " So question is if i tick it, it will rebuild the data on that disk from parity ?

funny enough im updating from 5.06 to 6 tonight. in the middle of docker and plex. following these instructions https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37732.0

Hi can someone glance over these stats? Is the drive dying ?

Yes your right though 150MB/s should be fast enough for play back? Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-smart-stats/ interesting read!

came across this site, for open source VM images prebuilt. Perhaps this topic should be put under Virtual images, https://bitnami.com/ Bitnami is a library of popular server applications and development environments that can be installed with one click, either in your laptop, in a virtual machine or hosted in the cloud. We take care of compiling and configuring the applications and all of their dependencies (third-party libraries, language runtimes, databases) so they work out-of-the-box. The resulting packaged software (a 'stack') is then made available as native installers, virtual machines and cloud images. These Bitnami application packages provide a consistent, secure and optimized end-user experience when deploying any app, on any platform.

Sorry for delay in replying The windows 2008r2 was from a template so bog standard 40Gb partition. The 9 other servers when built where taking up small amounts of kb, approx 100Kb each. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

It had potential, i did try it, its very quick to deploy mutiple versions of os, (10 servers take about 6mins, but as mentioned very hard on memory. I ended up removing it when it was taking 6Gb of memory out of 16Gb i have Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

bought the £10 now tv device, installed signed up , put it into developer mode and plex now installed. very simple and it just works! thanks tony (spants) just need to work out on disabling the updates via bt router (dont think its possible) worse case can change the default gateway to a VM server, and setup the updates to 127.0.0.1

one for the Virtual server users. http://www.opendedup.org/ Havent tried it myself (currently downloading ) but looks promising.. SDFS is a Deduplication Based Filesystem SDFS is a filesystem for Windows and Linux designed to support the unique needs Virtual Environments and supports enhanced functionaliy for VMWare, Xen, and KVM SDFS Features include: Scalability - SDFS can dedup a Petabyte or more of data. Over 3TB per gig of memory at 128k chunk size. Speed - SDFS can perform deduplication/redup at line speed 350 MB/S+ VMWare support - Work with vms - can dedup at 4k block sized. This is required to dedup Virtual Machines effectively Flexible storage - deduplicated data can be stored locally, on the network across multiple nodes, or in the cloud. Inline and Batch Mode deduplication - The file system can dedup inline or periodically based on needs. This can be changed on the fly File and Folder Snapshot support - Support for file or folder level snapshots.

wow , yes in the UK (NI) sounds very interesting , will look into it.

looking to know what streaming playing to purchase. A simple to use streaming player for use with unraid (serving the videos) and plex (i have it running on the same VM as unraid). Has to be wife /children friendly. Easy to use ,either select thumbnails and hit the play button. cheap but not too cheap. have been looking at the roku boxes (any good?) thanks in advance! nick

Plex supports playing from a web browser for example in work i can stream films /tv from my home pc running plex /unraid over the Internet. At this moment the children are watching wreck it ralph on the laptop via plex on web browser, plex is reading film from unraid Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
