Perfect.   Thank you.

[RSync backup advice needed]

I hope I did not feed you poor information.

 

You said   "named files1, but all files for that user share are not necessarily on the ZFS pool."
files1 is an exclusive share on a ZFS pool. Therefore (I believe) all of the files are on the ZFS pool.  Correct?

 

You said   "Similar for /mnt/user/files4, a user share named files4 but all files for that user share are not necessarily on the array."
This share was created using the GUI 'shares' tab, so I think all files will be on the array.  (excluding a possible short stop on a cache).  Correct?

 

Thank you

[RSync backup advice needed]

Hello,

I want to use the Unraid CLI (click the icon top right and login as root) to backup / copy some files.  Most of the source files are located on a ZFS pool and I would like to make a copy using rsync (now and then) to the Unraid array.

 

ZFS pool source:    /mnt/user/files1
Backup target:       /mnt/user/Backup/files2

 

Unraid Array source:    /mnt/user/files4
Backup target:            /mnt/user/Backup/files5

 

Is there any reason this is a bad idea?

I just want a simple method to create another copy of some files.  Next stage is offsite.
Thank you

 

[Mover and new Cache pool error]

Advice taken.

Files have been deleted.

Thank you for your help.

[Mover and new Cache pool error]

Hello,

I am trying to move my appdata and system shares to a different (new & zfs) cache pool.  I have watched the SpaceInvader video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXF8au5o9Tw&t=308s

 

System share will not move completely.
I have stopped all of my dockers and virtual machines. I have gone to Unraid settings and stopped the docker and VM service. This should release the files and make them available to be moved.

System share will not move. docker and libvirt seem to be causing the issue.
I did read JorgeB said "Mover won't move files that already exist on destination."

 

 

There appears to be old copies of libvirt.img and docker.img on disk2.  The time stamp of the IMG files on the cache drive is updated when I start the two services.

The goal is to move system share to the array, then move system share to a different pool device.

 

Can I delete libvirt.img and docker.img on disk2 without data loss?

 

Thank you

[Stale file handle error]

Hi

I am running Plex in a VM on a Ubuntu server and my media is on my Unraid server.   (I don't want a Plex docker)

I am not getting 'stale file handle' errors sometimes.

 

Is the recommended fix still this?

"Settings => Global Share Settings => Tunable (support Hard Links)" to NO

No other downsides to be concerned with?

Thank you

 

 

[How to KILL a docker container?]

Oh well.....  I could not find anything that would shutdown / kill the docker.    I rebooted.

Thanks & have a good day.

[How to KILL a docker container?]

No luck with that, but that command is interesting.

 

'docker ps'   confirms the name of the docker image.

'docker kill --signal=SIGINT PlexMediaServer'    had zero impact.

 

'docker kill PlexMediaServer'      does not return.    Control-C  is required to get the command prompt back.

 

[How to KILL a docker container?]

Hello

I am using the plexinc/pms-docker  and it is becoming unresponsive after about a day of uptime.   I am not asking for Plex support.

 

The Unraid GUI will not shutdown the docker.   Unraid tries but is not successful.   The last two times I shutdown Unraid using GUI or cmd line it did not go all the way down and I needed to power cycle the server.    Required parity check when I boot.

 

All I want to know  --->    How do I KILL the Plex docker ?

Thank you

[What user is PLEX using for share?]

Great   That was easy.   Mine is set to "Read Only"

 

Thank you!

[What user is PLEX using for share?]

Hello,

I am using  plexinc/pms-docker  with Unraid 6.8.3    and it works.

I have a "Music" share on my Unraid server that has read permissions for most users and WRITE permission for one user.

 

I would like to know what access PLEX has to the Music share?   Can PLEX write to the Music share?

 

This website    https://hub.docker.com/r/plexinc/pms-docker/

says that PLEX has a 'plex' user that is used within the container.    I am not a docker or Plex expert.

Thank you

[Did party check get really fast?]

OK.    Case closed.   Thank you

[Did party check get really fast?]

This is the first parity check that I have ever 'paused'.    I hit 'pause' once at around 30%.

Diagnostics attached.

[Did party check get really fast?]

Hello,

I have Unraid 6.8.2 with up time of 45+ days.

 

My parity check speed has been:

01 Jan  = 145 MB/s      0 error
01 Feb  = 147 MB/s      0 error
01 Mar  = 147 MB/s      1 error
01 Apr  = 314 MB/s      0 error            Double speed !

 

Did Unraid really increase the parity check speed (that much!) or do I have a problem?

Thank you
