I will check the bios log this evening. Good call. I need to enable IDRRAC on it. Its a Google GSA that is a rebranded R720XD. I flashed dell bios but kept the google branding. I like their boot splash better.

Would that be 3 sticks of ram reporting an error? I am beginning to think its the processor on that bank or both. Unraid is showing CPU Cache incorrectly too. Motherboard:Google Inc - 0JP31P Processor:Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz HVM:Enabled IOMMU:Enabled Cache:Not Specified = 384 kB (max. capacity 384 kB)

Your server has detected hardware errors. You should install mcelog via the NerdPack plugin, post your diagnostics and ask for assistance on the unRaid forums. The output of mcelog (if installed) has been logged. Here is my diagnostics. This is a new error to me, unsure where to start other than following the errors directions. gsa-diagnostics-20201207-1034.zip

Hello. I have recently migrated one of my Unraid servers to an R720XD from a R420. I have the option to acquire two fully populated MD1200 encloures. Current Controller for the 24x front bays on the r720xd and two back bays: 03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05) Flashed IT mode H710P Mini SAS Controller I will need to add card(s) for the 2x MD1200. Right now the MD1200's have 2TB drives in them, but I will likely move up to 8tb soon. What controllers will I need for the R720XD to properly use 8tb drives? Preferably a 6Gb's controller since my current backplane and H710p is only good for 6Gb/s anyways.

Hello - I am looking for either a Network Attached or DAS attached 2.5" RACK Mounted enclosure that is JBOD. I want to place SSD's in the chassis for use with the UnAssigned Devices plugin that I will be using as storage for SQL DB's and VM's that do not need protection. Just the storage accessible to Unraid servers I have. Any recommendations? I am looking for as cheap as reliably possible. Would a Dell SC220 be what I am looking for, or something different?

Thanks! That helps me a ton.

Hi JorgeB That makes perfect sense for the 1tb build. I was trying to utilize the same knowledge in picking hardware for repairing my main rig, when I realized it was unfeasible to do. Sorry for any confusion. In my main rig, would you still advise a 8tb nvme or would 8tb 10k/15k sas be plenty?

Revisiting this, as recent fluke timing - my motherboard lost died (PCIe + Sata channels died). I have to replace my main server - which is all SAS/SATA drives. I had stuck in my head NVME for cache not Parity - so I ordered a server grade mobo with two m.2 slots to put those in per this threads recommendations. Well, I come back to review and realize you said parity. If I have 8tb drives in my array, I would need 8tb parity drives. How the hell would one do that? The cheapest quality 8tb nvme is the Sabrent Rocket ($1400) and I would need two to protect my 27 drive (soon to grow to add more drives to fit in my 42 bay chassis). That would be $2400 in parity alone. I am reading you right that you recommend / use NVMe for Parity right? What size parity do you have?

Is there a different SSD you would recommend, or in your opinion, would I be better going a different route than full SSD? Im open to full suggestions and value your opinion JorgeB

Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD 3-bit MLC V-NAND SATA III 6Gb/s No room for an NVME in this rack server. Ultimately, I am looking for consistent speed that is reliable for rapid-access data. The speed is from the read part of the server that I need, not the write.

I am rebuilding a R420 server, with all SSD drives. (8 x 1TB SSD). My question is, what would be the optimal configuration, given it will be speedy (primary use is high-speed data needs on a 10GbE network). 7x Data 1x Parity and no Cache? 6x Data 1x Parity and 1x Cache? 5x Data 2x Parity and 1x Cache? 5x Data 1x Parity and 2x Cache? I have been weighing this and can't come to a conclusion. Please lend your advice and reasoning here?

I was able to find the linux bash files - I stopped my array and was able to flash both 9300-8i cards to Firmware Version 16.00.10.00. I have not touched the expanders - I am not sure how. root@Arcanine:/mnt/user/isos/SAS3# sas3flash -list -c 0 Avago Technologies SAS3 Flash Utility Version 17.00.00.00 (2018.04.02) Copyright 2008-2018 Avago Technologies.

The drive was corrupted beyond recovery for 90% of the data. I have now formatted the drive, checked it with pre-zero and the drive is healthy. I have reused it as my cache drive now. I am looking for the LSI flash files again and will make a DOS 6.22 / FreeDOS boot drive and try to update the cards. Do I need to update the expanders or just the two PCIe Cards.

Hi Johnnie, You recommended updating the LSI firmware once before, I do not have access to a windows desktop for the flashing, and have not been able to find a Linux / Unraid way to flash them. If you have any insight on that, or can point me in the direction, I would love to update them. Booting to Live CD versions failed also. Is everything on the cache dead or can I safely copy whats on it off?

Began receiving docker errors and was unable to correct them, so I rebooted my server, now I am receiving "Cache" is read-only. There is plenty of space on the cache drive, and data is readable but it is read-only. I can't seem to figure out why it went read-only or how to correct. Scrub/Balance cancels due to the RO status. arcanine-diagnostics-20200731-1336.zip

I have been loving Plex transcoding with my P1000 card, until today. I rebooted my server and Plex docker will not start. It halts at the nvidia card startup portion. docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:449: container init caused "process_linux.go:432: running prestart hook 0 caused \"error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: cuda error: no cuda-capable device is detected\\n\""": unknown. The command failed. I have reinstalled the kernel drivers, checked the GPU UUID and rebuilt the docker from scratch. It will not start.

I have began having an odd problem where my Network Stats are not working. They say "vnstat service must berunning STARTED to view network stats." So I checked: /etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat start received: Error: Not enough free diskspace available in "/var/lib/vnstat/", exiting. My array/cache/ has plenty of space far beyond any need this would have so I checked: ls -l /var/lib/vnstat total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 29 16:49 vnstat.db Any ideas?

Hi JonP sorry for the delay, I checked and no, I have over 2TB available. Cache was balanced and scrubbed. I have no idea why it can't be recreated. There may be something wrong with my setup - I've posted a couple issues that got worked through and a couple untouched in general, however I have had time-outs occur when updating dockers and dockers disappearing because of it, as well as really sluggish web gui responses in general. Can't seem to nail it down at this point - and generic posts tend to yield no results. Maybe its related to my system only?

New ISO created out of the Media Creation Tool - Wanted to make sure it had all the latest patches. I don't keep a cached copy.

I also vote for all the icons in this thread be added to the repo - this script is amazing and the icons are too!

Using virtio instead of Sata did work for WIndows 10. Using raw with linux worked. Odd things, but I can confirm I am good now.

On my servers Vdisk1.img = 56kb in size.

Sorry, thought I mentioned in the post, Either raw or qcow does the same for me. On all 3 servers I tried. Two Intel, one amd.
