Ahh cool, I'll keep waiting for e release that works then, cheers John ie!

Is that an unraid kernel issue, or a controller kernel issue?

Thanks, I just find it strange that I have had no issues under 6.6.7 and below? Now I have reverted, it is all working fine, as it was before the upgrade.

was working fine on latest stable (6.6.7) closed down all of my VMs and containers. ensured mover had finished. backed up flash stopped array and then updated to next 6.7.0-rc6. b Better than previous attempts to upgrade, as far as on reboot all drives were detected in correct slots, however on starting array errors everywhere. log is full of errors: Mar 30 23:26:05 TheNewdaleBeast emhttpd: error: get_filesystem_status, 6474: Input/output error (5): scandir Mar 30 23:26:05 TheNewdaleBeast kernel: XFS (md2): metadata I/O error in "xfs_trans_read_buf_map" at daddr 0x15d508f48 len 32 error 5 Mar 30 23:26:05 TheNewdaleBeast kernel: XFS (md2): xfs_imap_to_bp: xfs_trans_read_buf() returned error -5.

Generating some 4096 RSA certs - should more than one thread be getting allocated? Cheers Duggie

Hi, Installed this plugin on 6.6.7, and after changing the settings to what I require, am unable to get a client to connect - I will continue fault finding, but in the meantime, if you set LZO compression to No in the Server Config page, whenever you create files, line 17 is simply a 0. should it be "comp-LZO No" or "comp-LZO 0"?

Just updated 6.6.6 to 6.6.7, stable with no issues. I then updated to 6.7 rc5, and suffered the same problem as when I tried to update from 6.6.6 to 6.7 rc2 (although I didn't post at the time for various reasons) When I reboot, Multiple drives show as failed/unassigned. I reverted back to 6.6.7, now my second parity, and one of my data drives (drive 2), show as disabled. (in the previously unreported instance this was parity 2 and Drive 6). I have attached the diagnostic log in case it is of use. cheers Duggie thenewdalebeast-diagnostics-20190225-2307.zip - failed 6.7rc5 install - FS not present, array in tatters thenewdalebeast-diagnostics-20190225-2329.zip - restore to 6.6.7 - 1 parity and 1 array drive borked

Hi, have a few of these (Intel Xeon E5 2660 v3) which are server pulls from a failed project - they have around 100 hours of usage, before I eBay them I was wondering if anyone is interested, and how much you would be willing to offer? Cheers Duggie https://ark.intel.com/products/81706/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-2660-v3-25M-Cache-2-60-GHz- Also have a couple of (used good); Dell SAS 1.2TB (2.5" 10K) drives WD 1TB Blue drives offers welcome.

Query - installed SABNZBVPN, have it all up and woirking except.... files are downloading to /config/downloads instad of /data/downloads. When I look in SABNZB settings the default user folder has a "Default Base Folder: /config" which I am not able to change (within SABNZBVPN). This is the same as the system folders. Should the default base folder for User not be /data ? Cheers Duggie OK cancel this, just had to go back to root then select data instead of config, then my downloads/complete and incomplete folder! Still think the default folder for User should be Data though, would provide consistency with other containers? Cheers Duggie

Pictures will follow... Once I get the damed thing working the way I want LOL. Kept having numerous issues with the H240 HBAs under unRAID (they seemd fine under Kali). So I dropped the SAS disks from the Array completely and reverted to SATA disks using the built in controller. While this has enabled me to get it up and running, and start moving content. I am running on only 1 4TB parity, and 8.5TB data (1x4TB, 4x1TB and 500GB). I have tried each HBA on its own, with every combination of the 4 SSDs on each port, but although the HBA appears to boot ok, the disks are never visible within unRAID. Next step will be to boot back into HPSSA and check there are no issues present, before booting into another distro and ensuring that the disks are actually up and working. In the meantime, heres a clip of one of my favourite views...

Thanks, that has got me past that hurdle, although for some reason it sill wants the protocol name on a separate line OK, so after a little more work, I was able to get it up and running. 1. Had to add username and password within the docker settings itself. From the ovpn config file; 2. Remove the "proto udp" line 3. Add " 443 udp" to end of remote line. 4. Change "ns-cert-type server" to "--remote-cert-tls server" [removes warning of deprecated command from log file] Seems to be good at the moment, so thanks again!

Binhex, Hello, and thank you for your enormous amount of very fine work! I am running UnRAID 6.3.5, with DelugeVPN docker (yours, obviously - have an issue I have mentioned in that support thread) and PlexPass docker. When I click on the Photos library I get the following error; There was an error loading the timeline for this library The photos timeline requires Plex Media Server 1.5.4 or higher Media Server installed version is: Version 1.11.0.4633 - and when I click for update version it tells me it is up to date. I suspect that I am missing somethin obvious, can you assist? Regards Duggie Just got the update - Many Thanks BinHex!

Hi, Relative n00b here, just setting up Deluge VPN, have installed the docker, and added my VPN providers .opvn file to \\........\appdata\binhex-delugevpn\openvpn it contains the folowing lines: client dev tun reneg-sec 0 persist-tun persist-key ping 5 ping-exit 30 nobind comp-lzo adaptive remote-random ns-cert-type server route-metric 1 CERT HERE CERT HERE PK HERE remote REMOTE VPN SERVER DN proto udp (items in bold altered for privacy) When I attempt to start DVPN, the log states " VPN_PORT not found in /config/openvpn/OPVNFILENAME.ovpn I have tried adding "port 443" after the remote line, but this seems to have no effect. Am I missing something really obvious, before I start deep diving into the issue? Thanks, Duggie

Thanks SSD, The Case, Power Supply, MoBo and HSF/Case fans and SSD mounts I bought at for around 599 total, The drives and processors I got for substantially less So far USB drive has been fine, the native slot on the MoBo is a USB 3, but I will keep an eye open for errors. I am aware that 16G is overkill, but I figured that if I want to re-use the drive later in its life, then bigger is better, especially as the cost was nominal. Think I am going to start with a PF Sense VM, to aggregate my Virgin Fibre (200/12) and ADSL (9/.8 - just for backup as the Virgin has been unreliable, fast, but unreliable). I will feed that out to the Nighthawk for the rest of the house. Was undecided about having a VM or a docker for Plex, but reading through the forums, and now that you can assign cores to dockers, I will probably go with the docker for that, and for the associated media programs . Wasn't aware that you could set Plex up to transcode in RAM, but now that I am I will do a bit of research on that and incorporate that too. at least I will use up a few extra Gig of RAM then. Only other things I want to do is set up (UNL) EVE on a VM (because trying to get a Hypervisor running a VM, runnning a Hypervisor running VMs is just too good an opportunity to pass up, and maybe get a couple of VMs running for the kids, with the GFX passed through to the VMs and the KVM remoted via IP, although that, again will probable take a little research! Oh and I wonder how it would cope with a VM dedicated to mining with almost all resources passed to it......

Good evening everyone! Well after about a month of scouring the forums and basically googling the shit out of anything Linux/unRAID/HDD/HBA related, I finally, almost, have my first unRAID build completed. So I was fortunate enough to win a few ebay auctions, ending up with some good quality kit at little to no price, so before I go though my experience I will list out the core components of my build! Fractal Design Arc XL 2 case ASRock Rack EP2C612D16C-4L motherboard 256GB (16x16GB) 2133 DDR4 ECC RAM 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2660v3 (10 core, HT, 25MB L3 cache, 9.6GTs QPI each) air cooled by Noctua NH-U12DXi4 HSFs AMD Firepro W5100 AMD Firepro W7100 2 x HP H240 HBA 8 x SG 4TB 6GBs SAS HDDs 4 x Pliant 400GB 6GBs SAS SSDs 1 x SanDisk UltraFit USB3 16GB 1 x Corsair HX850i PSU 1 x Corsair ML-140 Pro fan Oh, and, of course, an unRAID Pro licence. So I initially received an HP micro server (N40) free of charge from a friend. I was going to install RockStor but installation kept failing, so I decided to use FreeNAS. However as soon as I saw the UI, I turned tail and ran! Finally I ended up with a trial version of unRAID. Once I had it up and running, PLEX installed etc. I thought "Brilliant, finally a Linux Distro where you can do almost everything via the GUI". However I quickly ran into two problems. 1. Plex ran like a dog on the crappy AMD Turions - transcoding was almost out of the question. 2. Everything else also struggled for headrooom on the Turion. So, I decided to go all out. Initially everything went quite well. I did have an issue with the MoBo - it was SSI EEB and the case only had mounts for E-ATX. (however I decided that the risk to the MoBo for the two missing mounts was worth it), and trying to update the HP H240 HBAs was a bit of a nightmare - they had arrived pre-configured for RAID, and it took me a while to find a copy of HPSSA that would run offline and allow me to change them to HBA mode. Interestingly, it had one of the RAID logical drives set as boot, and once I had changed it to HBA, I was completely unable to deselect it. changing back to raid had no effect. In the end I just updated the firmware to 6.06 and that seemed to do the job. Things started to get hairy when I decided to just connect it all up, start-up unRAID and see what happened. It was Horrific. Millions of errors, HDD marked as failed. I was gutted, but fortunately not undeterred. I quickly re-booted into a Mint environment, and proceeded to completely erase (partitions and all), all the drives. I formatted the SSDs as BTRFS, the 4TBs as XFS, then run a full SMART check on them, which came back clear, and also cheered me up in that the SSDs had only 135 hours, and the 4TB only 2700 hours use! I then decided to give it another all-in go. Fatal mistake! Millions of errors, failed disk again unreadable and un-mountable disks, I was nearly crying. However after many, many, repeated bouts of GParting, DDing, SMARTCTLing and various other "Jesus Christ help me my HDD are failing" commands I realised that the reason all these tools were telling me my drives were fine, was probably because my drives were, in fact, fine. This left me feeling slightly pissed off. $129 on a pro license and I can't even get the damned thing to start up Grrrr. But, like I mentioned earlier, I am made of stronger stuff, so after about 13 hours 43 minutes of fruitless googling, I decided to start over from the beginning. Whilst in BIOS, I noticed that the HBAs were running at around 87 and 113 degrees C. Oops. That might explain it (it certainly explains the extra Corsair MLL-140 pro I bought to blow some extra air on them!), unfortunately it did not change anything. After a few more hours of equally fruitless googling, I came to the conclusion that either the HBAs were faulty or the cables (Mini-SAS to 22P SAS with 15P SATA power on the rear) weren't fit for purpose. I almost bought another "approved" HBA, but fortunately didn't. I decided to try and add the drives a couple at a time, in case the cables were a bit wonky, and the combined data loading on them was causing some sort of crosstalk/interference. After deleting all partitions and partition tables, I simply created a new partition table (GPT) on each drive, formatted the Data drives as XFS, the Cache drives as BTRFS and the Parity drives I just formatted as Cleared. After adding one drive as Parity, one drive as Data and one drive as cache, everything started with no errors or problems, I then stopped the array, added another Parity drive, two data drives and a further Cache drive. Once that had completed successfully, I then stopped the array and added the three remaining data drives and the final two cache drives. (Currently sat at 91.8% clearing). YAY! I now feel confident enough that it is going to work to write this post. Now, the real question. 40 Cores, 1/4TB of RAM, 24TB of dual parity protected storage, 800GB of SSD cache and a pair of FirePros. What am I going to do with it? Just running Plex and mucking about seems like such a waste now

Marcel, Just starting with UNRAID (6.3.5) and totally agree! Being able to set Language/Locale/KB should be in the settings (somewhere). Having to install an unsupported plug in, and then alter files to make settings persistent is something of an own goal!
