I'm currently running my Unraid server on the following specs: - Intel i5-6400, 16GB DDR4 @ 2133, GTX 1060 6GB, LSI SAS Card, 512 GB SSD Cache Considering moving some components over to a Ryzen box that I'm not using much at the moment: - Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB DDR4 @ 3200, GTX 1060 3GB Would I benefit from moving everything over to the Ryzen machine? I use my server for Plex w/ Hardware Transcoding and file storage. If the Ryzen system is in fact better, I may upgrade the processor to a Ryzen 7 3700X to take advantage of the core/thread increase.

Up until yesterday, I hadn't rebooted my server for 28 days and it was fine. After I rebooted, my mount script wouldn't load properly and after running an ls -l, I noticed that the two mount folders (mount_mergerfs & mount_rclone) were changed to root:root. I deleted the folders and re-imported all of the scripts; as well as changed all my docker mounts to user --> /mnt/user. The mount folders were re-created using the script with the nobody:users permissions. A few hours later, I noticed that media wasn't playing again, so I checked the permissions and they went back to root:root. I have checked my settings in Sonarr and Radarr, and the write permissions are turned off. Any other ideas what could be changing these permissions?

Looks like I fixed my own issue. If I understand correctly, ONLY Plex needs to be set to /user --> /mnt/user. Once I reset nzbget to /data --> /mnt/user, it worked fine.

I'm just setting up these scripts now and am running into permission issues with mount_mergerfs and nzbget. I have set up my nzbget docker container to include the following path: /user --> /mnt/user/ Within NZBGet, I have set the paths to: MainDir - /user/mount_mergerfs/google/downloads DestDir - ${MainDir}/complete InterDir - ${MainDir}/intermediate NzbDir - ${MainDir}/nzb QueueDir - ${MainDir}/queue TempDir - ${MainDir}/tmp It seems to be having problems with the NzbDir, QueueDir and TempDir directories. I've run Fix Permissions and gone in and run chmod, but still no fix. Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks so much for this @SpaceInvaderOne. I have installed Catalina using your instructions and it worked perfectly. However, to get my Nvidia passthru working, I'm now installing High Sierra, and getting an error at the beginning of the install saying 'The Recovery Server Could Not Be Contacted'. I'm have removed and re-added 3 or 4 High Sierra VM's, but they're all doing the same thing using the out-of-the-box config. I even tried copying the network interface XML over from the working Catalina build, but no luck. Any tips?

Awesome. Thanks for the great explanation!

Wow.. I totally missed that. Thanks so much!

Even if it's a 4TB drive? I thought it did the first pass at 50% capacity. Thanks for the quick response!

Hey all, I've gone through all the posts relating to this topic, and double-checked all my settings, but can't seem to find a solution. My Unraid 6.6.7 nvidia server consists of the following: 5TB Parity Disk 1 - 4TB Disk 2, 3 and 4 - 2TB Cache - 256GB SSD I have all my shares set up with High-water allocation method, minimum free space set to 0kb, automatic split as required, and disks set to ALL. However, the high-water doesn't seem to be kicking in as my Disk 1 is now down to 1.15TB free, and none of the other disks have come out of spin-down. I have a unionfs mount set up in /disks which includes my Gdrive mount and /user/media, which I thought could be part of the problem, but have confirmed that it points to /user/ and not /disk/. Any downloads go direct to cache, and then get moved to the array with Sonarr and Radarr. Anything else I could be missing? Unraid is starting to throw storage notifications and I'm getting a bit concerned. Cheers!

Hi all, Been fighting with this all day, and I just can't figure it out and would really appreciate any assistance. I have the following hardware running my UnRaid: M/B: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. - G1.SNIPER B7-CF CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz HVM: Enabled IOMMU: Enabled Cache: 128 kB, 1024 kB, 6144 kB Memory: 16 GB (max. installable capacity 64 GB) Network: bond0: fault-tolerance (active-backup), mtu 1500 eth0: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 9000 I have shut down all of my docker containers, but am finding the response times within my Windows 10/NVidia Passthrough VM very slow when trying to access through either Splashtop or Parsec. My latency to my server from the remote machine is about 3ms. Running on a 5Ghz network on AC. The NVidia card is running correctly as the card appears in Device Manager with no errors.
