No resolution is normally set by the OS. The only adjustments on the monitor as far as size goes is aspect ratio. either full screen or 4:3. I would also add when I reboot Unraid the display is correct at first then while booting the display changes to the wrong size.

I am aware of the things that you are describing I believe my explanation of the issue was poor. The display I have is a standard 1920x1080 display. Normally ,lets use window os as an example, if you change the display setting it will adjust to fit the whole screen. On my display the top 1/4 and the bottom 1/4 are black voids so to speak and the center 1/2 is the only portion of the display being utilized. On a reboot I get a message (I think from the display) to make the resolution 1920x1080. I assume this is either an error in the Unraid OS or the GPU as I am unsure how Unraid obtains the information for the proper resolution when connected directly. By looking at the display one can tell it is extremely stretched. It would appear the first number ,the one that should be 1920, is set to a smaller value than the second. Thus making it look like letterbox movie.

yes

Thanks for the explanation that is exactly what happened. I assumed formatting only affected the drive its self, However doing it in the array erased the emulated data. Would you by chance be able to direct me to a solution to fix the display issue on the monitor that is directly connected to the Unraid server? I have had Unraid for many years and never had an issue with the resolution of my display, this is something that had recently occurred. This is the same monitor I have always used and I am unable to find a way to change the display to a normal configuration.

Are you saying that because I formated the drive that is why I lost data? The reason why I formated the drive was after I followed the steps everything seemed to be working as intended, However later I discovered that the drive was disabled and was emulated. I ran some checks on the drive and it seemed fine and that data on the drive was very little. No where close to the 2 something T it had. Then I formated the new drive and tried again. Was this the wrong thing to do? I tried a few other things but was unable to get the red x on the drive to a blue square.

I have noticed that I have l have lost some movie files in Unraid. I came across this by noticing Plex had a couple of movie collections with 0 movies. I did recently replace a 3T drive with a 10T one. Before I attempted this I wanted to copy the drive, However the documentation that I found in the forums on this was very old (around 2016) and in the Unraid guide https://docs.unraid.net/legacy/FAQ/replacing-a-data-drive/ , it only describes pulling a drive and rebuilding it. I followed the method in the link and this is the Only thing that I have done to my server in a few months. My question is there something that I am missing on protecting my data? I have 8 drives and 2 paritys I was under the impression that I would have to lose more than 2 drives before my data would become compromised. Also on a side note is there a way to change the display setting when directly connected to the server? I get a change resolution message on my monitor and almost half of the display is black, like a extreme case of letter box. I have been trying to find a solution for this as well. talonhawk-diagnostics-20240318-1143.zip

I was wondering if it is possible to passthrough an intel A770 to plex for transcoding? I have tried searching but the only soulations I can find are for igpu's. if anyone knows of a link to either a video or webpage it would be much appre4aciated.

Thanks since I already had the port forwarding set up all I had to do was run the container and it worked fine. I had many issues setting it up a year ago and just assumed it was an issue thanks for the speedy reply.

I have rustdesk installed currently on Unraid manually (not through community applications. Unfortunately because of the way it is installed it creates more work to keep going. I am wanting to Install the RustDesk app that you have made but I am having difficulty figuring out how to add my Domain to it. Installing it manually I just had to change the command: hbbs -r <your-cool.server.com>:21117 to my domain but I am not sure how to do this with the community app install. Any advice that you could provide would be much appreciated.

I am Not sure what happened but after I uploaded the diagnostics my eth0 changed to the same network as my eth1 and the GUI started working. I am Going to assume it is some sort of network issue and try to Iron it out. Out of curiosity say my network is down for whatever reason should Unraid be able to boot into GUI ?

talonhawk-diagnostics-20230530-1248.zip thanks here is the diagnostics file. I found a couple of other posts similar in nature and tried the use_ssl no command and it did not work.

Is your server's IP static? If so is the static IP set in Unraid? Your problem seem like another device has the same IP as your server. There are dropped packets in your log, If possible it is better to set up your server's static IP in your router.

I am unable to access Unraid via GUI even directly connected to the server. when I log into the server I get a unable to connect page. This happened after I removed a 5700xt and installed a much older card for server access and a Intel arc A770. All of the docker containers appear to be working fine and I have terminal access. I do not know how to pull a log file via terminal, and did not get any links on how to on a search. I thought perhaps my issue was a DNS problem and that is why I tried to access the GUI directly from the server. I assume that would bypass any DNS problems. I did change the default ports on the server to 4080 and 40443. Thinking that may have been part of the issue I shutdown the server went on the boot usb and changed it back to 80 and 443. I did ifconfig and both of the networks on the server are connected have an ip address and are transmitting and receiving. The old graphic card that I have in there is a R7950 (the 2012 release not the current one), It is the card that I had when I built my first unraid server 6-10 years ago, I assumed it would be fine for GUI access on the server. I am not sure what else to try any help would be appreciated.

Every port does have its own unique Mac. My point was the reason Unraid was showing 12 SYSNICS is because it counted every port on each NIC that I went trough that had its own MAC and retained that info even after reboots. The allocation in Unraid network settings is correct. Also every port doesen't always have its own unique MAC. Some multiport cards have to be split by VLAN. PFsense is not a docker container, as stated above I have a Netgate official appliance running Pfsense plus. I would say that your comment is very rude and if you would have actually read the thread doesn't even pertain to my situation nor is it relevant to what that fix was.

I have 4 Ethernet ports 2 on the motherboard and 2 on a separate nic. It looks like Unraid counts every port that has its own Mac as a NIC? I did upgrade my system and go through a couple of multiport cards in the last year and I am guessing it doesn't adjust the count on reboot. I did lose connection to Myserver's again, this time the app page still worked along with my VM's, Docker containers, and Unraid it self. I believe I have discovered the problem. there are a lot of video's and guides on these individual topis but nothing that I have found that ties everything together. I believe the Myserver's issue happened as I was trying to setup Rustdesk and Nextcloud. To summerise for anyone that has Pfsense, Unraid, and it trying to reverse proxy a domain or self host a domain you need to make sure to change the web port for Pfsense and uncheck the redirect, otherwise Pfsense can get confused and will assume at least some of the time that everything entering via wan is for the Pfsense firewall its self regardless of any NAT or firewall rules in place. You will also need proper host overrides in place in Pfsense for local access. I would also recommend changing Unraid's web port just in case it can cause confusion port wise for Unraid its self and docker containers. My network tab still wasn't showing a DNS ip even though everything seems to be working properly deleting the network.config file seems to have fixed that. I am pretty sure will this fixes everything is correct now. I will give it a few days to make sure Myservers stays connected and if so Mark this as a solution. Thank you for your time and help.

Thanks that helped a lot I was looking in the wrong place in the logs for that info I thought is was in the /config /network folder. I am pretty sure its not a browser issue I run firefox and the only 2 extensions that I have is dashlane and honey. I have set my server and myunraid.net so rebinding will work (DNS rebinding protection off for those 2). I still have internet connection, my thinking is... I have some local hosts (including unraid server) set to resolve locally by DNS and this is why it shows as routable in the url.txt file. I have looked at PFsense documentation and all it really mentions is if the client supports it it works. I am not sure why the DNS 1 is blank, Maybe Unraid doesn't support this fully but still sends DNS requests to PFsense since it shows it is routable from that IP? I put up a current log to show that is still says the same thing and internet access is fine. I am curious to see if it happens again and if so I will remove unraid from the local routing table. I assume why Unraid has internet is it send the request then it resolves locally then hits the external DNS (if needed) and this somehow makes everything work without rebinding? Just to be clear any external request to resolve DNS query to my unraid server would be rejected, it is not resolved via WAN. It seems like it is a it kinda works but is maybe not really meant to kinda thing. talonhawk-diagnostics-20230427-1409.zip

Not having an issue with windows is not a good indicator of your Ram not having any errors. Windows runs off of a drive but in Unraid it offloads the OS from flash to ram and then runs solely off of RAM. It only takes 1 bit on your Ram to be wrong to start having issues. Personally the only other thing I have experienced other than a bad ram vector In misconfigured network settings, whither it be Unraid's network settings, your router, or docker container.

Probably be a good idea to check your ram with mem test 86 as a first step

I lost connection to my servers and community application a couple of days ago for what appeared to have happened for no reason. Today all of my shares disappeared. What I noticed that made the shares disappear was instead of the folders normal path mnt/user/(share name), the path changed to mnt/user0/(share name). Connection has been restored to the apps and a reboot fixed the share problem my questions is could the be a sign that my flash drive is no good? If so is there a why to check the flash drive? This did happen while it was running normally I would think RAM but the system is less than a year old and I ran a pretty extensive mem 86 test in January where I did find 1 bad stick and after I removed it I ran Mem test for almost 2 days and no other issue was found.

That is what I assumed, My question is with this being the case 1. What actually caused the issue. Rebooting Unraid will reestablish network config and rebooting did not fix the issue. about 5 attempts at manually trying to set DNS did. 2. The solution given to me was that my Unraid did not have DNS set up how can someone tell? I previously had connection and I have it again but I can't find anything in the log that says DNS was the problem. I feel like this is going to happen again even though my system is working now it seems the underlining issue is unresolved.

I am not sure what I was thinking 127.0.0.1 is a loop back address I put the PFsense ip back in. I do not have the PFblocker app installed yet so no additional blocking should be happening. Also I am not using a vm for PFsense I have an Netgate appliance with PFsense+ installed so the resolver that I am referring to is PFsense. I am not using an external routable IP for Unraid. DNS for internal host's only resolves internally and then I have Unraid urls pointed to the host name. Honestly the reason I did it that way was because at the time I was still trying to figure out PFsense as its UI is different than what I was used to and I thought DNS rebind was a blanket on or off. The only question, is there a way for me to see what Unraid is trying to use for DNS? it does not matter what I put in Unraid network settings 8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 it goes back to automatic. The only way I have been able to make it stay is to set a static IP in Unraid's network settings and then set the static DNS. Then it saves and stays static. Currently Unraid is set to DHCP with a static IP set in PFsense and anytime I tried to set a static DNS it just changes back to automatic and I am unsure how unraid handles this. I made no other changes except trying to change the static DNS about 5 times and then I had a connection and the system log did not show any DNS setting only that network being reset. If a network reset is what really fixed it then why would it not restore on one of the several server reboots that i did before posting here? If Unraid sets to auto DNS by default when on DHCP I don't see why I regained internet connection.

Ok I manually set the DNS to googles and it did not fix the issue and after it ran through the ip lease the DNS setting went back to automatic. I did this sever times and finally gained access to community applications and installed the fix common problems plugin. There were a couple of old plugins that it found and i fixed those so the only thing it has now is my logs being saved to flash. I updated everything while I have access just in case. I am not sure which address I used when teh DNS started to work again so after I had everything updated and the old plugins removed I went back to the network settings to put the DNS on PFsense 127.0.0.1 since it is set up as a DNS resolver if it does not have the address it finds it the same way another service would ie: Google. After I set the DNS it went back to automatic again is this normal? My server is behind my PFsense firewall the reason why it is routable is because I have the server name set up in PFsense saved in a local DNS setting and that has worked for months with DNS rebinding protection on. That way I can control what hits my servers a bit more securely than allowing DNS rebinding. Now that I have connection to Myservers and the Community Applications the only problem I see in the logs is unraid is trying to send packets to network 172.17.255.255 port 137 and 138. That is not a network in this location and the docker network in 172.18.0.0/16 in the routing table. Is this something that I should be concerned with? I have had Unraid do some crazy stuff in the past with improper network configs. Lastly after I put the DNS on PFsense 127.0.0.1 and it went back to automatic it still does not show a DNS in the network options is that normal? Now that I know the issue is with DNS I am sure I can fix it again but how can I know what Unraid is using for DNS? even though it is working fine now when I change the DNS server in Unraid's network setting even the log does not show what it is using only that it is in the mDNS for my servers ip.

A few weeks ago my system was running with no issues, then for some reason My servers and community applications lost internet access. I do have a PFsense + firewall as I have read that could be causing an issue but I have not found any information why this would be the case. The only documentation I could find was on virtualization of PFsense and that is not my case. My Unraid server has internet access (I can ping internally and externally without issue) and my docker containers has internet access as well. I do not currently have anything on PFsense as far as I can tell that would be causing an issue. In PFsense I have an allow all rules on all my local networks and I do not have PFblocker so there is no reason (and no way from what I can tell) to whitelist websites. PFsense is running as DNS reslover and as a troubleshooting step I enabled DNS rebinding to see if that fixed the issue even though is was fine before. I have checked My PFsense firewall logs and nothing has been blocked from my Unraid's server ip. The only other weirdness I noticed is the nerdpack plugin is empty when I open it. I am not sure what step to take from here but i will add I would say I have at least an intermediate understanding of Unraid and I work in IT with a focus on networking and comptia network + certified. I mention this not to prevent any ideas but only to show you probably do not need to explain simple solutions to help speed up the process on finding the issue. I have included my server logs any help would be most appreciated. talonhawk-diagnostics-20230412-1116.zip

if you go to settings, Docker, docker custom network type make sure it is on macvlan. That should make it so your docker containers have a different mac address.
