Hey community, jw if anyone could think of a quick way/method to record the following properties over a timescale into a log file. I'd like to run it on a quick schedule (e.g. poll every 5 minutes - I like data points!) Disk ID Disk Name Date Time Temperature The Backstory I recently just started a test build for a back up system. Opted to go with a MicroAtx case and stuff it with 5 HDDs! I was amazed they all fit. When the parity check goes it sure spikes the temps of the HDDs - which is not the case on my production system built in a full size case with a much better airflow system. So I thought, what an interesting opportunity, If I could build a data visualization and see my disk temps over time, and after I perform some corrective action on the case to address the situation (it's a priority for the safety of the disks), then I could also see the impact of my mod. I'm pretty good at taking structured data and building cool tools with it - not so good at gathering it myself yet. So I'm asking for a little help here.

Thanks for this as well. I appreciate the detail and help - good call on the turbo write. Noob question, is that a krusader option or an unraid option?

Thanks for this. It helps out a lot. I'm looking at moving about 4TB from my 'alpha' build. So I like the idea of your burn in approach. I've got a bunch of 2TBs laying around from other projects, and was looking to setup the new server on a previous system I built. That system uses an FX-9570 and I was thinking the number of cores would really help out with increasing my virtualization operations. Ultimately the goal is to move to a new system and increase the storage to two 4TB WD Reds and five 2TB drives to net 14TB (with one 4TB parity drive). The other system (the one unraid is currently on) was originally built to be a sleek gaming system, but it was empty when I stumbled on unraid, so I decided to initially build it there. I'd like to get that system back to bare metal to do what it was built for. Hence the need to migrate it now. I do have some backup redundancy and can use a secondary system to get by for a bit if I need to take the main off line - so yes that is possible. Any insight on moving VM's? I'm not sure if that's an easy/intermediate task, or if it would just be easier to reinstall once the new one is up and running.

I have totally loved setting up unraid and getting it working for me. Thanks very much for such an awesome product. Exactly what I was looking for to manage 'myNet'. I was wondering if I could get some pointers on doing a migration. I've got a totally different system (going from intel to amd - better virtualization and utilization of my other system) and I want to essentially 'reinstall' unraid on the amd setup. How can I go about transferring this? 1. Can I use the trial version to setup my new system, and then transfer my existing license key to the new one? If so, how? 2. What is the best way of transferring the data from the existing array to a new array (new WD Reds) with a bigger parity and total size? I'm thinking setting up new shares on new system and using krusader to move them over the network? Is there a more efficient way? Perhaps image the smaller hdd's and then expand the file system? Thoughts and suggestions?

Same thing was happening to me. I had my whole steam library freshly moved to my cache ssd share. Some games worked, same games didn't. Didn't have all the right distributable packs. Easiest fix was to move one of the games to the vdisk (i.e. c:\), run it and let it update and do it's thing. It'll auto grab what's missing from all the right places. Confirmed it worked after this. Moved the game back to the cache share, and confirmed it's still working as expected.
