twitter is good for social marketing and again some new users. Lime-tech should deffo focus on reddit as well (reddit.com/r/unraid) to promote unRaid. 16,801 subscribers = XBMC http://www.reddit.com/r/xbmc 23,860 subscribers = XBMC http://www.reddit.com/r/plex 13,039 subscribers = Roku http://www.reddit.com/r/roku I would recommend Lime-tech to hire SEO guy in Philippine, they will SEO and social marketing on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Fantastic! I have not even tried unRAID 6.0 yet... I will upgrade when it is officially released. Do docker acknowledge there is a DNS bug? I can't find anything on their bugs list.

I think it might be a good idea to create a new forum called "Firmware Release Discussion" So for example... Tom or Jon create a new locked thread "unRAID Server Release 7.5 beta xxx -x86_64 Available" in Announcements section He will also create a new thread in "Firmware Release Discussion", something like: Feedback for - V7.5 - 24Dec2015 BETA

I use mIRC

Very nice, deffo over-kill motherboard lol.

Cool. Maybe next year I might upgrade to a new motherboard E3C224D4I-14S (or even newer model might come later). It support MAX 32GB and also it has 8 x SAS2 from 2 x mini SAS 8087 connector by LSI 2308 http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=E3C224D4I-14S

Yes that is correct, my array disks are connected to IBM card and its passed through to the UnRAID VM. I've just checked ESXi setting for onboard SATA pass through, it is not possible. You might be able to pass through in a dirty way using Raw Device Mappings (RDM) but it has to be done via command line. I don't recommend doing this. You can see example tutorial here http://forza-it.co.uk/esxi-5-1-using-raw-device-mappings-rdm-on-an-hp-microserver/ Apart from unRAID vm, I don't pass through other VM's. I created Virtual Disks for other VM's which use onboard SATA via SSD. Here is a screenshot, UnRAID cache was created via Virtual Disk 60GB.. This is not pass through IBM card.

My Ram and CPU is excellent. unRAID VM - 2GB Windows 7 Pro VM - 3GB Ubuntu Media VM - 2GB Ubuntu Plex VM - 2GB on the vSphere Client, it say Memory usage: 10689.00 MB (16320.55 MB) If you having problem that ESXi is using too much RAM more than total of RAMS in the VMs, try restarting ESXi host.. I have seen that problem before at work.

Don't you think S3 should supported by default in Unraid?

Anyone using 6TB drives yet? tell us your experience and which model are you using..

Thank you Other VM's I use: Windows 7 Pro VM - Video encoding, ConvertXtoDVD software Ubuntu Media VM - nzbget, sickbeard Ubuntu Plex VM - Plex Media Server

Thanks Motherboard only allow 16GB RAM Maximum.

Interesting read, http://www.openegg.org/2013/02/12/a-first-look-at-nzfs-and-replacing-unraid-with-nzfss-transparent-raid-traid/

Which 4TB drive do you recommend I should buy? The review of WD Red WD40EFRX 4TB on newegg is pretty bad. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236599

Server was upgraded on November 2013 and I didn't get chance to post it here, ooop! I had a HP MicroServer N36L for while running EXSi host and unRAID VM. I was not happy with the CPU performance. I have upgraded to a more powerful system. The specs: CASE: Lian Li PC-Q25B PSU: Silverstone SST-ST45SF 450W RAM: Crucial CT2KIT102472BD1339 16GB (2x 8GB) Memory Kit MOTHERBOARD: ASRock E3C226D2I CONTROLLER: IBM ServeRaid M1015 SAS/SATA PCIe RAID card CABLE: 3Ware CBL-SFF8087OCF-05M cable CPU: Intel Xeon CPU E3-1230 v3 Haswell SSD: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB (Not included in the photo, was upgrade a week later) FAN: Noctua NF-S12B-FLX 120MM FAN: Noctua NH-L9i LP INTEL Cooler FAN: Noctua NF-A14 FLX Fan 140mm EXISTING HARD DISKS from N36L: 3x Samsung HD204UI 2TB (For Array) Note: - UnRAID Pro License - ESXi 5.5 - VMs: unRAID, Windows 7, Ubuntu Plex Server, Ubuntu for downloading - I've used Virtual Disks (SSD) for unRaID cache and the VM's. I am very happy with the performance and it is very silence. Much thanks to garycase for suggesting on hardware specs.

What about cloud parity feature as well? so if parity HD fail, then use cloud parity.. should be possible somehow.

Good article but the Split Level description is confusing and the Split Level example doesn't make any sense. Provide more example of File Structure and Split Level. I understood better when I read at http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Un-Official_UnRAID_Manual#Split_level Just a feedback

How long will you keep 30,000 TV series? It is unlikely to rewatch again.

Great! Do try to join #unraid channel on IRC (freenode) when you get a chance, I make you an OP. I think AMA on #unraid channel might work, we could give a try. Is it possible you could add unRAID IRC heading on http://lime-technology.com/support-2/ ? you can add something like this:

I am thinking getting Amazon Fire TV soon, it support Plex and netflix You can even hack it to install XBMC.

unraid room is getting better and growing.

You all can join #unraid channel on IRC, freenode: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=unRAID&uio=d4 Unraid Room screenshot:

Very interesting. How did you Passthrough a video card on ESXi? I thought it will never work well on ESXi. Did it work really well and the performance?

I haven't even tried unRAID6 yet, I don't want to risk my data. If I understand correctly, it is possible to use XFS or BTRFS for Array? If so, did it help to increase write performance on array?

A lot of plex discussing on this thread. Is this because of Slackware distro making thing difficult to install/setup to work correctly?
