I hope I am not stepping out of line sharing these but here is the updated package.conf file for sickbeard "midgetspy-Sick-Beard-alpha1-2743-g830b3b1.tar.gz" including the correct md5 so you will not see the error. I am installing this now on unraid 4.7 and sharing the updated .conf files as I create them. sabnzbd has one as well over here --> http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14190.0 sickbeard-unmenu-package.conf

I realize I probably need to post again but wanted to at least update my original post in case anyone finds this. I spoke too soon on the "RTL8111E" NIC. The issue has finally hit me 3 months later. Seems the NIC comes back after my drives go to sleep enough so I was able to get in and grab the syslog from unmenu and get in a clean reboot. I lost my connection around 21:58 sometime. A sample from the syslog during my issue is here and the output of ethtool and ifconfig but from after a reboot. I have found plenty of others speaking about the issues with this NIC in the forum but I have not found any solutions posted. Seems most people are just being steered away from motherboards with this NIC chipset. What are other people doing to resolve this? I am thinking just buy a pcie x1 Intel card like this one --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 Or should I splurge on a server version for another 60 bucks? Or does someone have a better idea to maybe get an official resolution to this for everyone?

Thanks for the reply... So today I transferred another 1.2 GB to the server using robocopy. Below was the speed summary using a cache drive. Could not get above 1100 on my ex470 WHS full of wd20ears. I have had some over 6000 MB/min. Using MTU 7200 on my unraid server and trendnet greenet switches. I am also connected to SATA 3 ports with Sata 3 drive for my cache and parity drive. Although they really are the same max throughput as a Sata 2 if you look at WD specs (138 MB/s or around there). Speed : 77379663 Bytes/sec. Speed : 4427.699 MegaBytes/min. So it looks like I would have had some lockups of the system and such if I had the realtek chipset issue. None yet and had the system about a month now. One thing I may be doing different than other is I am using DHCP rather than a static address. I control a static assigned dhcp address at my router instead. Also the MTU setting of 7200 seems to work great at my house. On the wdidle thing... in the past I always used my desktop which has all hot swap drive bays to pull out my drive and put in the green drive and boot with a cd to run wdidle. Do you think I do that right in the server in this case since these are using SAS/Sata connections? I will try anyway but thought I'd ask. That was the same thought I had on the bluray thing I had. I will just stick with that. Thanks again...

I just built a version 4.7 system with all the latest and greatest parts trying to build a "green" server and was wondering if I can post some information for someone to just check out and make sure everything is running OK? There are a few errors in my syslog and I am not sure if they warrant any attention or not. I don't want to start deleting my files on WHS and moving drives until I know all is well. I am a techie in real life but with very little linux experience. Outgrew my HP MediaSmart WHS and when looking to build something bigger and better I decided on unRAID rather than a bigger WHS. Current build is: Core i3-2100T 35 watt processor Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 motherboard (latest z68 chipset) 4GB GSkill Ripjaws Memory DDR3 1600 Norco 4220 case with 120mm fan bracket Seasonic 650 watt 80 plus gold Powersupply 2 ea SUPERMICRO AOC-SASLP-MV8 SAS Controllers 8GB Lexar Firefly thumb drive 2TB WD Black Parity Drive 500GB WD Black Cache Drive 3 ea 2TB WD20EARS Drives (not jumpered) I have a question specifically in regards to the head parking on the WD20EARS drives. For WHS we usually jumper these and change the head parking to the max. I know unraid supports AF drives so the jumper is not an issue but how about the head parking with the wdidle utility? My guess is since unraid puts drives to sleep this maybe fine. But not sure if the SAS cards introduce some other issues with this. Also for some reason if I mount a bluray ISO and try to use clownBD to pull out the main video and audio tracks it always has a problem at various points in the process. Tried UNC and Mapped drive and no luck either way. This works fine from the WHS. May be a moot point since with unRAID I can have way more storage, but I have gotten used to not having to go through the menu's on our movies. Anyone else seen anything similar? The ISO's play fine in TMT3 with MyMovies on WMC. I have already customized it with unmenu and many other packages and constantly read the wiki and the forums to find new information. Thanks in advance! -D syslog-2011-07-26.txt
