I'm looking to upgrade my 2nd parity drive to max the capacity of my other parity drive. So in looking for new 14T drives, I came across MDD (MaxDigitalData?) brand that's pretty inexpensive. There isn't too much here on MDD drives. Has anyone had much experience good or bad with them? This is what I saw on newegg.. https://www.newegg.com/p/1Z4-06MR-00017?Item=9SIA5ADKB31750

I just tried this and it did NOT work. Maybe an array restart is required.. but this didn't work by just hitting apply. The file went into limbo as if I never excluded the disk. It does work if you rename the source directory to something different first (and there is at least one disk that already has the share directory). Note this was tried from the command line.. not from windows... if that makes a difference.

It does work if you rename the source directory to something different first (and there is at least one disk that already has the share directory). Note this was tried from the command line.. not from windows... if that makes a difference. Nevermind... I misread Tom's instructions. I didn't use the global "don't use for shares" I did the local exclude in the share settings.

I just changed my settings to allow disk shares.. Let me see if I understand it... Say I have a share called DVD. Say I have a folder called MyMovie on Disk 1. I want to move it to disk 2 (or some other disk) to free up disk 1. So cp /mnt/disk1/DVD/MyMovie /mnt/disk2/DVD would work perfectly fine? But if I did cp /mnt/disk1/DVD/MyMovie /mnt/user/DVD would lose the whole MyMovie folder? Now what if I exclude disk1 from the share DVD clicked apply and then did cp /mnt/disk1/DVD/MyMovie /mnt/user/DVD Would it then work fine and unraid would move the file to some other disk of it's choosing? I routinly used to copy from one disk share to another disk share to free up some space and such. I don't think I ever tried a disk to user share move/copy. But I'd like to understand the limitation.

And how does one limit the memory of a docker? I didn't see anything in the config

Out of curiosity where did you find this info in the diagnostics?

Unraid informed me that I had an out of memory error. Not sure what happened but another post said I should include my diagnostics zip file here in a new post. I'll wait to reboot, but the system seems to be running fine now. I did try to run a couple more VM's a couple days ago... I don't know if unraid folks want to look at this to see if there some bug. Otherwise I'll just reboot to clear the error (I want to reboot soon anyway to upgrade unraid to the latest...) Jim tower-diagnostics-20240429-1106.zip

No.. But I ended up rebooting my router last week and today it's working for that reason or maybe some other that worked its self out! Thanks for the help!

I just checked my unraid network setting and can confirm that DNS is pointing to my router.

I have changed nothing... intentionally... I've updated dockers and probably some plugins. But I've changed no setting. I can access the RDP from other windows machine with the hostname. But not from guac?

I changed the connection info to point to the IP and not the hostname.. and it connected fine. But the hostname used to work just fine and I didn't change anything that I know of?

I used to be able to connect to my windows machine through swag and guacamole a couple weeks ago. But now I get disconnected. the Guac log has this: RDP server closed/refused connection: DNS lookup failed (incorrect hostname?) I don't know where to start looking for issues with this! I am not a Guacamole expert at all!.... I can connect to the guac home page so I assume swag is working fine. Was there some recent change in Guac that requires me to change something in my connections?

The last update was 4 days ago? and the one before that was over a week ago? Dose it look in a different spot for the updates?

Is this still being updated? I'm having an issue with Emby and Roku not playing certain files with captions. If I turn the captions off and then play it plays fine. But if I start with captions it get to 33% and never loads. This used to work fine. Files that used to play fine with captions don't now! 😡. From some other threads on the emby forum it's something with ffmpeg. I'd really like to be able to see my captions again! My version is Version 4.7.14.0 and it looks like there is a "Emby Server 4.8.1.0 is Available" I'm wondering if the latest version will fix my issue... https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/114254-33-in-loading-pause/ https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/124029-some-media-hangs-at-33-then-blank-screen/page/2/

I have guac setup and it was working with one of my unraid VMs. But now I can't connect? I can connect to a real pc with guac.. But not the VM.. I can RDP into the VM just fine. Where are the logs located so I can see if there is an error connecting.. Jim

I thought it was... I guess I changed it when I add more VM's... Don't want to fill up cache drive!

Yeah I do... It looks like I need to move my image file to the cache drive.

When I turn on a VM, all my disks spin up and stay spun up. Is this a known thing? The image file is on one disk that I would expect to stay spun up.. But the others should spin down? Thanks, Jim

I did end up setting up Guac. I like that you can do 2FA. That makes me feel a little more secure.

I'm getting this message any time I stop and start the VM manager. With a reboot It starts fine. But if I disable VM's and then enable VM's, libvirt doesn't start and there is nothing in the /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log file. Where can I look to debug this? This all started when I started playing with "Virtual Machine Wake On Lan" I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to start a VM with WOL. Now I have no idea if this is connected. I don't remember the last time I had to disable/enable the VM's And I would like to get the WOL for VM's working.. But that's a separate thread! lol Jim

I, also, am having trouble getting guac to start a VM with WOL. I'm following @SpaceInvaderOne's guide on youtube and my VM won't start.

I knew I vaguely remembered something! Thanks for pointing this out! I will check it out! I may have even watched it before! lol Jim

I'm trying to figure out how to access some of my dockers and webpages at home from work. I'm currently using a openVPN client on my work machine and that's fine. But soon I'll have to have a new machine which won't allow any VPN software installed. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to access my home network from a webpage. So I was thinking some some sort of secure remote access to a VM from a webpage. did @SpaceInvaderOne ever do a video on that? He has so many great videos its hard to search! lol (and thanks for all those!) I'm sure there is something out there.. Like splashtop or remotePC? Thanks, Jim

ha! a couple days later and the price for the 12T pro is $226!! I'm looking for a 10TB and that version is $249!! LOL why is the 12TB cheaper?

I have also not had any more issues
