Hey adz2000 Which docker are you using? I tired all of them and every time I add media or analyze the media, the memory usage will force the task to abort and crash unraid's WebGUI. However, I tried to use the plugin provided by PhAzE, and I added a cache drive (SSD) and mapped appdata (config) to the ssd, and I everything works great for now. I added all my media and they are analyzed and ready to watch. I do want to know why the docker version doesn't work tho, consider the docker is more organized and most of the developing force has moved to docker rather than plugin. the docker it worked until I updated it to the march version, the one with the blue aero-glass background. I do think maybe there's memory leak, and if there's is one, more ram is not going to help. Mine problem is more aggressive than yours tho. I'm still waiting to see if the plugin version works

So I just installed the unRaid on my newly assembled desktop (i3 6100, one stick of 8G DDR4) and using it as a NAS box and Plex Server. I installed the limetech Plex docker and started to add media. After media are added, I found that if Plex start to analyze my library, the RAM usage would go through the roof real quick. and once it reaches 100%, the Plex would crash and the WebGUI would freeze, and then it would stop the analyze task, and everything would go back to normal. This also happens when the media are added to library and they start to automatically analyze the media. The media are tv shows and movies, about 3tb categorized into 4 libraries. I'm using a cache drive, and the appdata share is on the cache drive. I tried different dockers from Plexinc and the binhex, no luck Dose anyone experiencing the same issues? it's there something I'm missing? ADD: I noticed I don't even have to do it in batch, just analyze one movie would spick the ram usage to 80 Thanks!

Got it Thanks!!

Hey everyone totally new to server/NAS and still on trail with unRAID, and I just finished my setup yesterday: It's a core i3, 8G ram with 4 3tb WD red. I have one parity and it finished syncing last night. And today I started to copy some of my data to the array (large movies), and I can only get around 50 mb/s write speed. I know it's not network or hardware bottleneck because when I copy the same file out to windows, I get 112mb/s, the full gigabit ethernet speed. I'm confused, is that due to the parity? because the disk activity when I write is interesting: disk 1 write 50mb/s, AND parity write 50mb/s. Is this normal? Isn't half of the speed get wasted? It's not that big of a problem for what I used this for, but still feels off tho. Thanks!!! EDIT: Also even if the data is write to two disk, shouldn't I have the full speed on the sending end? And if the parity works like a RAID 1, which it doesn't, how a single 3TB drive can protect a 9TB array? Little bit confused
