  1. I would like to upgrade my 8 year old unRAID box, and am considering purchasing a Dell or HP server. I will be running unraid on ESXi 6.7 - are there any known compatability issues, or am I free to choose whichever suits best? Looking at DL380 Gen 9 or 10, or PowerEdge gen 13 or 14. Thanks.

    Because they use some multicast thing, you can't fire up the container w/ all those port forwards in the normal mode and have it work. You should be able to use the adopt token and such. Or you can fire it up in --network="host" mode to add them, then drop back to normal.

    ^ This issue talks about another way where the container gets its own mac and IP, you could try it and see how it goes.

    If I'm understanding correctly this would only work for Unifi branded cameras - what about 3rd party like Hikvision?

  3. I've recently upgraded my internet connection to Gig speed, I regularly download at about 80-90MB's. Seems SAB can't handle this and it slows my entire unRAID server to a crawl. Is there a way to resolve this and still maintain the speeds? Should I be looking for an alternative to SAB? Thanks.

    Have you tried a different USB port (USB2 if you have it)? Also, do you have any plans for that CD drive? If not you might disconnect it.

     

    I should probably add that this is a VM (vsphere), and all hardware is virtualized - so the CD drive is just loading plop ISO which is needed to boot the VM from the unRAID USB.

    That's only a later piece of the syslog, not useful, too late.  What we always need to see is the very first error that occurs.  What we also always want is not just the syslog, but the full diagnostics, containing all syslog pieces (including the first) plus a lot of other info about the server.  Please see Need help? Read me first!, and attach the diagnostics zip.

     

    Typically, without seeing anything else, it's likely a USB port is flaky, dropping connections at random times, which causes the loss of full unRAID operation, no way to access its own configuration.  Often, it's a matter of trying other USB ports, sometimes avoiding any USB 3.0 ports.

     

    Thanks - I've attached the diagnostics file.

  6. About once a week it seems the system stops recognizing my USB housing unRAID. The GUI reverts to defaults and when I try to access the USB it's empty. Does it look like it's crapping out? Syslog shows the issue begins happening at 12:25

    Sorry... Was swamped yesterday at work, so I initially saw your post on my phone, but then forgot all about you by the time I got home.

     

    One of the USB devices you got plugged in is giving the server a heart attack / seizure, and is spamming the log constantly with device resets.  

     

    Hit the Log button on the UI, and then start pulling out devices one at a time (except for unRaid's flash drive), and see if the spamming of device resets stops.  (I have a KVM that has the same issues btw)  After you determine the device, then try a different port.

     

    If its still doing it and the only thing left is the flash drive, then try popping it into a different controller (USB2 <-> USB3) (but you'll have to reboot inbetween for unRaid's flash, and possibly set back up the BIOS boot order)   If it still doesn't get you anywhere then you may need to replace the flash.

     

     

    Thanks - Looks like something going on the with my unRAID flash - moved to a different port and performance is normal again.

  8. Seems as though navigating through the web GUI is very slow - additionally when I navigate the contents of the USB drive it also hangs.. I'm continuously seeing this error in the log:

     

    Tower kernel: usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110

     

    Anyone know what it means?

     

    Thanks

  9. From command line, what do you get with this?

    crontab -l

     

     

    #

    # Run hourly cron jobs at 47 minutes after the hour:

    47 * * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 1> /dev/null

    #

    # Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:

    40 4 * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null

    #

    # Run weekly cron jobs at 4:30 on the first day of the week:

    30 4 * * 0 /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 1> /dev/null

    #

    # Run monthly cron jobs at 4:20 on the first day of the month:

    20 4 1 * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.monthly 1> /dev/null

    #

    # Start of vnstat crontab entries

    * * * * * /usr/bin/vnstat -u -i eth0 --dbdir /mnt/cache/appdata/vnstat

    # End of vnstat crontab entries

     

  10. in the Docker log, every Sunday at 5AM I see the following:

     

    time="2017-01-08T04:30:11.304536152-05:00" level=info msg="Container 5bfbd42b488a131caa42661a295bab437e26328a47458f0631d3c47035dce020 failed to exit within 10 seconds of SIGTERM - using the force"

    time="2017-01-08T04:30:21.453834702-05:00" level=info msg="Container 234a91bed981c46cd571946efde7e2563e7ceabd3b1d4642d3ce58a105ceeb1a failed to exit within 10 seconds of SIGTERM - using the force"

    time="2017-01-08T04:30:31.454332845-05:00" level=info msg="Container 234a91bed981 failed to exit within 10 seconds of kill - trying direct SIGKILL"

     

    Anywhere else I can check to see more info?

  11. Every couple of months SAB stops responding - trying to restart it hangs unraid, only option seems to be a restart of the server. Anyone else experience anything like this?

     

    Restart of the server or restart of the container?

     

    Restart the server - restarting the container is what causes the server to hang.

  12. Having been through Zoneminder, a couple of dedicated boxes systems, and Blue Iris, I advise installing Blue Iris. Inexpensive software, and really, really great. Have mine installed on Windows Server VM.

     

    What kind of resources do you have dedicated to the VM? Are you using your data store for storage? Something external? Why do you think it's a better solution than something dedicated?

     

    Thanks.. Just trying to decide which path to take.

  13. Don't have an answer for you - hopefully someone else will.  I only have one ESXi server left and it will be bare metal unRAID in a month or two.  Maybe less.

     

    Is there even a way to determine which drive it's trying to read the data (I'm guess hdparm) from?

     

    What is your SCSI controller 0 set to? I accidentally set mine to something other than VMWare Paravirtual, and was getting the same error as stated in this thread. Moving it back to VMWP fixed it.

  14. Do you mean virtualize? If so, there are sections here dedicated to the various technologies that will allow you to do this. I'm currently running on ESXi, with an unRAID client. Hardware spec will vary depending on what you want to achieve. My ~2 year old setup consists of the following:

     

    i7-3770S

    8GB RAM

    5 x 4TB Seagate ST4000VN000

    2 x SSD for ESXi datastore, and cache

     

    I run about 4 VM's - one of which is unRAID. Resources are adequate, however I would probably go for a stronger processor, and double the memory if I were to rebuild. Other than that, it serves it's purpose for a small for factor lower tier build. I do access it remotely in the form of terminal services.
