Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm having TM issues after a flash drive failure. I'm all back up and running, but my TM just gets stuck on "Preparing to back up..." and the bar goes back and forth forever. If I run lsof I can see files in the sparse bundle open, so it's connecting, but it doesn't ever appear to do anything. It's possible a TM backup was running when my flash drive failure took my machine down (it locked up after probably 2 days with a failed flash drive). When you said "never be able to continue backing up", do you mean that daily back up will never happen, or is the sparse bundle locked up and will never work again? Do I need to delete my existing sparse bundle and let TM start from scratch? Thanks whiteatom EDIT: Well, it seems I solved my own problem. Removed the TM disk from MacOS settings and re-added it and it's backing up now! All good.

Yes, that's my PC. Strangely enough - I connected my WireGuard VPN (while still on my home WIFI) and the WebUI works, disconnected, same issue. Away from the house today and it works just fine over VPN. I'll try it again when I get home - but any idea what would trigger this? whiteatom

Hi all, I decided to dive in and upgrade to 6.12.9. Install went fine and the box came back up. SSH, docker and all services are working, but the web GUI is giving me a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable. I have rebooted the box a few times with no difference. It redirects all links to /login, but I think that's expected behaviour. I'm at a loss - don't know where to start troubleshooting this. Diagnostics attached. Thanks whiteatom knox-diagnostics-20240405-2209.zip

Roger. Updated to a better cooler. I'm a little concerned about RAM clearance - but worst case I return it I suppose.

Hi all, Long time unraid/plex user, looking to upgrade for 4k content. Currently running an 11 year old E3-1245 V2 on a Supermicro X9SCL with 15 spinning disks. My intention is to start from scratch on the system hardware, move my disks over and put old drives (smaller) in my existing system for a back-up for most critical data. New machine planned: Case: Fractal Design Define 7 XL + 12 extra trays CPU: Intel Core i5-12500 3 GHz 6-Core Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin Mobo: MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 HBA: 2 x LSI 9207-8i with breakout cables PSU: Corsair RM850x 850W 2 new 20TB WD Red Pros for new parity drives Want to run 18 spinning disks; 3 SSD for cache pool/app data; an e-sata for external dock. Hoping to manage 4x 4k streams plus a few 1080 clients. Hoping to handle 7-10 simultaneous users (at least half direct stream). Also run the -arr suite, a few home automation dockers, and a few VMs (development testing environments and a print server, no heavy load), would also like some future capacity so this thing can run for another 10 years. Am I limiting myself anywhere? waisting money anywhere? Can I meet my needs with something more power efficient for a 24/7-on server? Appreciate any input you have! Cheers whiteatom

+1 It would also be nice to include the server name in the subject or From. If you run more than once instance, you have no way to tell which box it's from.

Big plus one.. I'm getting browser notifications from my openstack instances and it's a game changer to have desktop level notifications. Seems like this would have to be done through an Limetech API due to the complexities of supporting all browsers, but it's not a huge undertaking to make this part of My Servers.

It seems this plugin is being flagged in the 6.11 upgrade assistant as deprecated. Is there are upgrade available or alternative to track where each disk physically is within my case?

There doesn’t seem to be a way to see parity operations underway. It would be a key admin feature to see the progress of parity checks, parity rebuilds, and pre-clears - can this be added?

Ok sounds good.. is LT adding a USB backup tool? I think mine is on the way out, (very slow boot), so I'd just like to make sure I have a backup of the data!

Hi all, I just started using this plugin again, and my first back up ran Monday night. It all seems to have worked, I'm seeing a dated TAR file for the app data as expected, however, my USB back up seems to just be a copy of the data - no TAR and no date-version. Is this expected behaviour? I was expecting TARs for both the "Use Compression: Yes" setting? Thanks, whiteatom

Hi all, I found a... bug? no potential enhancement in UA. If you are in a mounted drive on the CLI and then unmount the drive in UI through UA, it lets you do it - but it creates a mess. The drive won't properly unmount because it's in use, but there's no error or anything.. The disk shows as unmounted, but the directories are still there in the /mnt/disks/ - obviously accessing them causes an error. A simple mount and unmount fixes it all, but a detection for the drive being in use (similar to how the main array won't unmount if a disk is in use) would be a good improvement.

Hi all, Thanks for this great plugin. I noticed something in the logs when I started a new pre-clear... I'm wondering why it thinks this disk (a WD red 6tb) is an SSD. Should I adjust something to do the head stress test that it has disabled? Thanks, whiteatom

I still this issues is still not fixed.. Just got a great deal on an MX500 that i'm using for Plex under UA and I open the unRaid UI to about 20 notices from this drive every time. Looking for the uncheck of smart attributes now.

How is an unRaid share exposed to MacOS? I have my iTunes library on the host array, and I know I can share it over the network, but i figured it might be more reliable over through a VM mount. I configured the following in the VM XML. <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/mnt/user/iTunes Library/'/> <target dir='iTunes Library'/> <alias name='fs0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> And I expected this to be mounted as a drive called "iTunes Library" or appear in /Volumes or at least appear in /dev as "fs0", but nothing! What am I missing?
