  1. Thanks for the info! Guess I was looking at old information. Will go ahead and get some new SSDs and separate my Container data from the temporary data.
  2. Looking for some advice on the best strategy for my server cache. Today, I have a cache pool which is 2x 512GB and 1x 1TB SSDs in btrfs. It's not awesome because I have my container appdata on the cache as well as some VMs. Any time I download anything to the cache, it quickly fills up faster than the mover can keep up. SO, I want to increase my cache pool. My thought is to buy 2 more 1TB SSDs and replace the 2x 512GB SSDs in the pool. Would it be possible to then use one or more of the 512GB SSDs for a download-only cache? I wouldn't mind striping them together if possible because it would JUST be more temporary data. From what I read, you can't have more than one cache pool in unRAID, but even if there was some way to pass the drive into a container, that would work for my purposes.
  3. @_rogue, sorry to reply to an older comment, but did you ever figure this issue with pfSense out? I have essentially the same setup, but I'm using binhex-sabnzvpn instead of qbittorrent. Completely at a loss, myself.
  4. Closing this now because it was indeed a hardware issue. Fairly sure it was the CPU or MOBO because I had memtest'd extensively. Now I have a MUCH better CPU/MOBO!
  5. Looking to upgrade my server which has been having super strange issues that I can only attribute to hardware issues. I’ve been looking for a reason to upgrade for awhile anyway, so here’s what I’m looking at for the CPU/MOBO/RAM (already have a solid PSU/case/drives): CPU: Intel Xeon W-1270 ($430 on Newegg) MOBO: AsRock Rack W480D4U ($300 on Newegg) RAM: Something like Kingston Premier ECC RAM ($100-$150ish) It SEEMS like this should work properly, but I’m thinking maybe someone has experience with the CPU and/or MOBO. I’m definitely open to other suggestions, as I have an ATX sized case and room to add more stuff. I thought about doing a dual-socket CPU but couldn’t find anything as cheap as this single-CPU setup. I’ve got a few requirements that I want to stick to, which is what’s driving the newer hardware rather than used. CPU Intel QuickSync support ECC RAM support At least 8/16 cores (could also do 2x 6/12 CPUs or better) MOBO IPMI via dedicated NIC (i.e. like HP iLO or Dell It seems like the only Xeons with QuickSync support are the newest W-12XX or the slightly older E-2XXXG CPUs. Definitely open to used gear too, but even eBay has used stuff at or above MSRP for these CPUs. My Plex container is the most important thing on my server, hence the need/want for QuickSync support.
  6. Sorry for a late response on this, but I've been caught up with work stuff. For whatever reason, the server was working for a week or so without issue. I'm back in troubleshooting mode and now it's doing instant crashes once I start the array again. It doesn't matter if I disable Docker or VMs in settings; it still crashes. One time, it wouldn't even boot (said cannot location bootable drive, or something to that effect). I swapped the USB drive to a different slot and it didn't matter. At this point, I am leaning towards it being either the USB stick, USB controller, or motherboard, but that's just guessing. Because all of those are hardware, it seems like troubleshooting this may go outside the scope of these forums. At this point, I'm not sure what to do because I enabled the syslogging to USB and there's nothing relevant.
  7. So I was able to actually just edit the setting in "Settings" for Docker not to start, I started the array, and it still crashed Guessing the place it got stuck in the syslog may be a red herring. Running an over night memtest+ and I'll see where I'm at tomorrow.
  8. So I've had my Unraid server for over two years now with minimal issues. I've added/removed drives, etc. and haven't had many issues. Out of the blue today, my server crashed. It came back up automatically but without my array started (this is how I have it configured). I can start the array in maintenance mode but not normal mode. Since it crashes, my syslog gets wiped, but I tail'd it from root and it died in the middle of starting up Docker. I'm attaching the sanitized diagnostics which I ran after starting the server but not the array. I tried to research this first but got old articles that said to use troubleshooting in the "Fix Common Problems" plug-in, which I have, but it looks like the troubleshooting feature was removed. tower-diagnostics-20201023-1747.zip
  9. @binhex Here is the log file. I couldn't find anything odd, even after turning on DEBUG, but hopefully you can see something! Thanks. debug.txt
  10. I am having some strange speed issues that I can't seem to figure out. I have been using this container for about a month now with zero issues up until now. Essentially, my speeds are much, much slower than they should be and I have taken several troubleshooting steps, but to no avail. 1) I checked my internet speed which is supposed to be 200 mb/s (bits, not bytes) down. However, the best I can get from this container is about 600 KB/s (bytes, not bits). Up until this happened, I would get from 100 mb/s to 180 mb/s which is fine, considering all the traffic is tunneling through the VPN. I ran a speedtest on several devices, including my unRAID box and they got max speed. Conclusion: Internet speed is fine 2) I checked my VPN provider (UnlimitedVPN) to see if was being throttled. This was challenging, and I never got 100% proof, but I asked support and they said no, and I was able to torrent large files using the same VPN connection. But, I wasn't convinced, so I signed up for 3-day trial of NordVPN. I installed the .ovpn files into the container and it connected, but lo and behold, I still got crappy speed (<1 MB/s). Conclusion: VPN Provider is fine 3) I checked my Usenet provider (usenetserver.com) to see if I was being throttled. Support assured me they don't throttle anyone for anything, but I tried setting up the linuxserver NABGET (not SABnzbd) container to try out a different setup. To my surprise, I immediately got full speeds nearing my bandwidth capacity (about 24 MB/s). Conclusion: Usenet provider is fine 4) I checked to see what I was downloading wasn't affecting the process. "Certain" downloads from usenet can result in slow speeds, so I tried something I figured shouldn't get slowed for any reason... I tried download Ubuntu 17 and got the same sucky speeds. However, on my new (temporary) NZBGET instance, I got full speed again. Conclusion: Files being downloaded are fine 5) I finally disabled the VPN on my SABnzbdVPN container and *STILL* got the same crappy speeds. Conclusion: Something is wrong with the container; either with my configuration or some bug with sab. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  11. I am having an issue with this container where it binds to the wrong interface. It says exactly what it is doing in the logs, but I can't get it to use the eth0 interface's IP instead of the tun0's IP. I am using mtacvlan networking so the container has its own IP address. I pored over this thread, but I can't seem to figure out how to manually change the deluge bound IP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  12. @bonienl, thanks for the information! I apparently posted too quickly because I figured it out in the end, but this was a driving me nuts for a good hour. Thanks!
  13. So I may have just answered my own question. In the VM settings, I just realized there is a switch to show advanced settings. From there, I can change the network bridge from br0 to br0.30. Hopefully this helps someone else!
  14. Hello, So I'm 100% new to unRAID, but quite familiar with networking and virtualization. I'm running the latest version on server right now and setup was a piece of cake. When I went into network settings, I found where you add VLANs, and I did so. However, now I can't seem to change the virtual NIC for my test Ubuntu VM. For example, in ESX, you pick what network the card should be using. I can even do this on my Mac server because it supports VLANs. I can't seem to get this to work. I've read through several posts and they get me nowhere. If this isn't possible, let me know. I know the VLANs are working on the server because it gets a DHCP lease and IP address which I can confirm on my router (Unifi USG). If anyone has any wisdom on this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
