  1. Yeah something I'll look into although the unit running this instance is pretty old as in DD2 I think there are still sticks around though.
  2. I am having trouble updating from 6.9.2 to this version using the GUI. I get an IO error at around the 60% mark of the download which I believe is due to limited RAM onboard (2Gb). Is there a 'simple' alternate way to install from the download section onto the flash drive? I vaguely recall mapping the Flash Drive in Windows and then replacing a few files. The flash share would naturally be temporary.
  3. That sounds good, I'm considering a build around the Intel Core i3 10100 Processor but I got a feeling it's gonna idle a bit higher than that.
  4. Thanks, I've been going through the NAS Killer 4.0 guide. Wish there was just a simple 'get this' Mobo / CPU combo board when low power usage is the goal. I'm hoping to hit somewhere around 30-60W when idle it seems quite achievable. I currently use 6Tb MyClouds which idle around 5W but I have 6... Hence the low power goal.
  5. Hoping the good folks here can help. I’m wanting to build a new server but this one won’t be running anything other than Unraid to serve files mostly to my Plex Server and general file storage. I’m thinking 6-8 drives (including parity) will be enough long term but need some help on where to start. I don’t think I need a rack style system just some kind of Tower / AMD or Intel build? This could be serving up to 5 streams of data to Plex at once mostly 720p content. Any advice on how to get started with the build would be great. I’ve been using Unraid on HP Microservers for a while now which used to be a good low cost base unit but they seem to have all but gone now.
  6. I'm a bit of a command line nut, and need to copy across some data from a WD MyCloud NAS to my new unRAID setup. However I'm having some issues with character sets and am getting nowhere with my google searches. This is the mount command: mkdir /mnt/mycloud_public mount -t cifs //mycloud/Public /mnt/mycloud_public -o username=nobody,password="",dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 This mounts the Share just fine, but if I do an 'ls' on a directory or file that has special characters like an accent they look like this Pok\351mon which is a translation of Pokémon. Copy commands utilising this directory fail. Whilst I could go and remove all these special characters from the source, there must be some way to pass this info through via a codepage?
