  1. Thanks Ghost, guess my information was pretty old, actually makes sense to separate that. Alright, let see if I can get this done.
  2. When attempting to create a ZFS storage pool: virsh pool-define-as zfs_pool zfs error: Failed to define pool zfs_pool error: internal error: missing backend for pool type 12 (zfs) Can we get a libvrt compiled with ZFS backend support, needs a few switches flipped? Background: Creating a VM which is intended to run on a ZFS Volume, my device snippet would look like this: <disk type='volume' device='disk'> <source pool='zfs_pool' volume='winvolume'/> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> </disk> Unfortunately the backend support is not compiled in libvrt. I know there are other ways to get a ZFS volume mounted in a VM but prefer to use the excellent support and performance for ZFS pool.
  3. Sure but remember this is highly experimental, you might wreck your pool for all I know, I've got everything backup-ed, so you are warned here. For each block device used in your zpool add it to your VM using the following XML fragment under the <devices> section: <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source dev='/dev/sdb'/> <target dev='hdd' bus='sata'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='3'/> </disk> can also use /dev/by-id just be sure
  4. So I did something either very stupid or very genius, feel free to comment: - Installed the unraid ZFS plugin - got familiar with the command line operations and ZFS in general - Tuned using fio for large file storage, went for ashift 12 and recordsize 1M - Created a raidz pool with 4 pieces of rust and a bunch of datasets (mounted at root, not /mnt/user) - Configured docker for directory on ZFS, reinstalled my docker apps, tweaked some paths and everything up and running ok - Limited arc size to 2 Gb of memory (sorry need my memory for docker/vm) - Happily rsyncing terrabytes of data back so far so good, but my fingers are getting blue, time to get some GUI, lets do something crazy .... - installed a freebsd VM with truenas latest version, 10G virtio image and 4 Gb of Ram - After It was up running shutdown and modified the XML to pass through my ZFS block devices (not the whole controller) - Started the truenas VM, pretended a nose bleed and just imported the ZPOOL which is also imported and in use on unraid - During import I got one warning: To my utter surprise it imported and I got the nice truenas gui available for managing my snapshots. Seems to work so far, any objections anybody?
  5. Same problem here, the server list is empty.
  6. Plexmediaserver update 1.9.1.4272 still not available? Forced update does nothing. (Current version stays at1.8.4.4249 )
  7. Good news, no new spontaneous USB-stick dismounts have occurred since I removed the unassigned devices plugin and manually moved some appdata/system files which where supposed to be on the cache (see my other topic). Of course nothing is sure yet or that even unassigned devices was causing the problem. /fingers crossed.
  8. Ok, I'll get a monitor/keyboard attached (if it happens again). Any change it's the flash drive itself? I am using the one internal USB socket (on the motherboard, would dislike to mount it outside the case), the flash drive is a 32 Gb transcend (USB 3.1).
  9. The diagnostics where sent to limetech by e-mail. If it happens again I will capture the diags and post m here.
  10. Hi Admin, thnx for your reply. How do I boot into safe mode and what things would I need to verify? Plugins seem to be up to date. Removed unassigned devices since I am not using it.
  11. Thank you all for you thoughtful replies, appdata is indeed cache prefer, manually moved some files.
  12.

  13. Hi, Since two days I find my unRaid server (6.3.3) in problems. The web interface changed from dark to white, no of my apps are visible in main nor are my plugins. I do can access my raid and plex, sab, sonar all seem to be running just fine. unRaid also says I am unlicensed. The docker tab shows the following message: Recommended Applications: None Selected Warning: parse_ini_file(/boot/config/docker.cfg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 39 Fatal error: Uncaught UnexpectedValueException: RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(/boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php:63 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php(63): RecursiveDirectoryIterator->__construct('/boot/config/pl...', 4096) #1 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php(92): DockerTemplates->listDir('/boot/config/pl...', 'xml') #2 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php(222): DockerTemplates->getTemplates('all') #3 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php(331): DockerTemplates->getTemplateValue('binhex/arch-cou...', 'Registry') #4 /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/include/exec.php(44): DockerTemplates->getAllInfo() #5 /usr/local/src/wrap_post.php(27): include('/usr/local/emht...') #6 {main} thrown in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/include/DockerClient.php on line 63 All I can do is issue a reboot. After that the server comes up fine but “Fix common problems” says it detected an unclean shutdown. I’ve added my diagnostics from after the reboot. Please advise,
  14. Hi, is it possible to connect to Dolphin from a windows system using Remote Desktop? I am asking this because I noticed the Xrdp logon window. I tried connecting to it from windows RDP (to the port of the app) but no luck. All info would be appreciated, thnx :-) ps: I know you can connect from a browser using Guacamole, i want to use some kind of native x64 client.
  15. Yes, the video explained it well. I used -dconvert=single -mconvert=raid1 Thanks for the link to the subject on the FAQ.
  16. I had an experimental server running freeNas Corral, it let me to unRaid pretty quick Enough said :-)
  17. Hi, i am pretty new to unRaid so forgive me if I don't use all the terminology right :-) Anyway, I am letting SABnzbd download to my cache drive where I have setup a "download" share. For a particular large download however my cache was too small (Only have 120 Gb, using a nvme m2 ssd). Decided to add an additional cache drive since i had a spare SSD lying around. Now here's the thing, I wanted more space and not redundancy or speed. After restarting it was installed as an raid 1, not what i wanted. However, since gooling stuff about unRaid is one of my favorite things to do I quickly found the video about adding a cache drive and what parameters I need for balance. However, It would have been nice to have some kind of dropdown with the most commonly used balance commands.
  18. 8 Gb of ECC ram, usage indicates 4 Gb should have been more then enough. I am not running any VM's.
  19. Part of one at the fitness club, nothing more
  20. I'll keep it in mind, for now there going to be one more 4TB WD RED drive for parity, I should be ok. Which PSU would you recommend?
  21. I am using a private SMB share from my desktop (account peter / users) which forces my other shares on that system to that user account. So i am using other shares not as nobody / users but as peter / users. The problem i am dealing with is that most server application like SABnzbd or Deluge use nobody / users for created files which do not have the writable flag set for groups or all. Now i can configure sabnzbd to CHMOD 777 on created files but i can not do that in Deluge. Do I need to configure this differently or is there some other solution to this little problem.
  22. Hi Syddos, i am not exactly young as well but who's counting eh?. unRaid brought me full circle with Slackware which i used an odd 25 years ago or so to build my own router / firewall system hehe. Anyway, there is affordable though not widely know server hardware, I recommended looking at the $118 Fujitsu D-3417-B motherboard. (https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/DS-D3417-B.pdf)
  23. I am a middle-aged software developer running some kind of server system for the past 20 or so years. My first "own" server was actually Slackware on a 286 AT system which i used as a router and firewall. unRaid took me full circle, i never for my life expected to be running slackware again HAHAHA. I was going to use Freenas on my new server but during my initial research the name unRaid popped up in a thread explaining how crappy Freenas/Corral had implemented Docker. I decided to watch some video's about unRaid, found JonP's ones on youtube and I was sold. This weekend my new hardware arrived, built the system and installed unRaid. Now installing was quirky because the USB stick wouldn't boot. I solved the issue by using Rufus for the formatting process and redoing the USB creation procedure. Initially I added my 3x4 TB WD red disks, created a few more shares (Media, Data/Backup) and restored 7 TB of data from backup without a problem. (No parity drive, the 4th disk has yet to arrive). Set the internal M2 SSD as cache drive and started installing the Docker applications. I had SABnzbd, Sonarr, CouchPatato and PlexMediaServer up and running in a few hours. On Sunday the decision was made and I ordered a key. Absolutely love unRaid. Server Hardware (under $450, excluding the WD RED NAs drives): Fujitsu Server Board D3417-B ($118) Intel Celeron processor G3900 ($41) Crucial 8 Gb ecc-memory ($80) Intel 600p 128 Mb NVMe PCIe SSD (M2 slot) ($60) Be quiet! Pure Power 10, 300 Watt ($40) Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 tower ($90) Power consumption in Idle mode = 9 watt (excluding the NAS drives, they add 3.4 watt each). For my next project i am probably going run unRaid on my main system which runs Windows 10 and serves as a gaming rig / development system.
  24. I am using Kodi on a rpi3 with PlexKodiConnect which synchronizes Kodi's media libray with Plex. . I've set it to use SMB shares. Updates from the plexmediaserver seem to arrive pretty quick, i can not force it on the Kodi though (through the update library button). The only issue I've seen so far is that opening the same file for the second time in a short period of time (seconds) seems to "hang"on busy. Stop playing and retry solves it. All in all i am content with this solution.
