  1. Received a couple of new cameras and looking for the latest Unifi Video Controller Beta; however, I don't see it available yet. Can you please update to 3.9.2 B1 https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Video-Beta/UniFi-Video-3-9-2-Beta-1-Release/m-p/2227249
  2. No sure and I understand optional, no right nor wrong. Some folks might not have another system to attach multiple drives to perform tests like WD Lifeguard, etc, so within the system that will or is running unRAID what are those options. Since preclear, plugin or script, was the optional standard and recommendation, whats the new one?
  3. Totally understandable and agreed, I'm not qualified to accurately articulate the differences nor say which is better, a preclear and smart, but shouldn't there be some guidelines and or recommendations? Just as it was highly recommended to run the preclear script and or plugin, shouldn't there be replacement as a direction for new users that wish to perform some sort of test?
  4. Thanks for the history and details, much appreciated. I understand it's not needed for unRAID to function, but I for one would like to at least have some sort of warm and fuzzy feeling that a drive was tested and therefore shouldn't fail shortly after placed into operation. I know it might not be 100% perfect, and placebo or not, it provides a warm and fuzzy feeling.
  5. I'm certainly not a seasoned unRAID user, but this is the first I'm hearing about badblocks, so that's part of the frustration and confusion. If there are multiple ways to perform this, what are they?
  6. The plugin isn't supported, the script isn't supported and many users live happily without the preclear plugin? Can someone explain and recommend what the process should be to a new or relatively new unRAID user like myself? Is the consensus of developers and or recommendation from @limetech not to run a test on new drives before adding them to the array? Or is the consensus to hold off using the preclear plugin and script until they are updated and ready for use? Sorry, but I'm a little confused as there are numerous forum posts, wiki instructions, videos, etc. recommending and indicating how important it is to use the preclear plugin and or running a script before adding a disk to the array. If those recommendations and or processes have changed, shouldn't someone update the documentation, videos, etc. to indicate what the new recommended process is? Isn't the purpose of plugins to make certain tasks easier and more foolproof for the end user? Keep in mind that some users might not be as comfortable navigating and or running command line type scripts. Please don't take my comments / questions the wrong way, I appreciate everything that the community, developers and @limetech do... I'm just looking for some clarity and direction in regards to what the new process should be.
  7. Same here, forcing it87. After each RC and the last releases I check, but no joy. @limetech would need to weigh in if something is pending or on the horizon.
  8. Great, please keep us posted as this would be good news under the latest BIOS and 6.4.1 for other Asus Prime X370-Pro owners. I'm at 6hrs 44mins with it disabled. Previous to 6.4.1 longest uptime I got was 30 - 32 days, restarted due to a BIOS / unRAID updates.
  9. Similar setup, but I disable C-State and the system is rock solid.
  10. Upgraded from 6.4 and no apparent issues other than this error in the log, which I think is an NTP server error or is it something else?

Ignoring. https://ipinfo.io/45.127.112.2 I have these NTP servers listed, are others recommended?
  11. Thanks @Greygoose and @limetech . Sounds promising as Asus released BIOS v3404 for my motherboard today. I'll give it try over the weekend.
  12. Agreed, I didn't mean nor want to make the Update Notes longer than necessary; however, was curious about clarification as I believe folks would want a quick and simple guide instead of having to read through multiple threads for the info they need. I reviewed the thread for preclear before posting and didn't see any specific evidence that it was a hard and fast rule that preclear needed to be removed by all. Seemed like a few instances where removing it helped. I guess I'm looking at it as instead of saying it needs to be removed, that it might need to be removed if a user sees XYZ issue.
  13. This is a great thread and idea... thanks for taking the time to do this @ljm42! Couple of questions / suggestions: Is it possible to include explanations, links or additional details as to why those plugins should be removed prior to updating? I ask as I upgraded prior to the creation of this thread and never removed the Preclear plugin; however, I didn't have any issues upgrading. Should users remove it now or if no issue was discovered, they can reinstall or continue using Preclear or the other plugins mentioned. I think this needs a little more clarification. As @pederm indicated, is it best to leave the rcu_nocbs setting in place or remove it and use the zenstates --c6-disable in the go script? Potentially add rcu_nocbs as an additional stability measure? Add a link to this forum post from the first post of the 6.4.0 release thread? Possibly indicating this is a work in progress?
  14. Unifi Video 3.9.0 was made available a few weeks ago, so under advanced, I removed the :beta from the docker repository and updated the docker. Everything seems to be working fine, except it shows as not unavailable in the docker tab. Any ideas?
  15. Great, thanks for the info. Curious if there will; be a new support thread or will this thread be renamed and stay active?
  16. I upgraded to rc20a as well as the upgraded the BIOS to v3402 this morning. Prior to that, with C-State disabled, my system was stable for 30 days.
  17. Is the P20 firmware required or is P19 ok? Any difference between these cables? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Internal-Mini-SAS-Breakout/dp/B018YHS8BS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DZD42M5Z36H2R4GR309H&linkCode=ll1&tag=orf0f-20&linkId=c3bab21c2c2bc7ba96b86d6729fcb651 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FBYS2U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=orf0f-20&linkId=06f97486c1b60e0bf2573dabff7f3b02 1st time using one of these cards, so pardon my lack of knowledge / experience. I have 8 ports on my motherboard and looking to add 4 more drives. Any issues with running both the card and on-board SATA ports?
  18. Exactly why I switched to the beta controller.
  19. Hmm... let @Pducharme chime in as I don't recall doing anything special other than making sure the repository was set to use beta in the advanced properties. pducharme/unifi-video-controller:beta I've only recently switched due to a new camera.
  20. I use the Unifi Video docker and it's running 3.9.0 Beta 6. Have you restarted the docker?
  21. No, not a crash / hung state with C-State disabled... only seen a memory error when the system was on rc7a: https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/59024-unraid-os-version-640-rc7a-available/?page=6&tab=comments#comment-600394 The 20 day remark was the longest uptime I have experienced thus far, but it was because I restarted the system to upgrade the BIOS.
