    *VIDEO GUIDE* A comprehensive guide to pfSense both unRAID VM and physical

    in VMs

    Posted

    By any chance does ANYONE have an earlier version of pfSense, than 2.4.4... preferrably 2.3.*?  I am receiving all sorts of REALLY weird installation options which look NOTHING like the videos.... they are asking about terminal mode options (whether I want to use:

    ansi

    vt100

    xterm

    cons25w

     

    with none of this leading me to to installation...all sorts of crap!  

     

    Please advise.

    Hi Guys been thinking about how to get sonarr and radarr to auto re-encode downloads automatically using handbrake.

    There will be 2 parts to this and i will post the next under this one in a few days time.

     

    This video  the first part  shows how to automatically re-encode video files downloaded by sonarr or radarr using an advanced docker path mapping sending the media files through handbrake first before then being processed by sonarr/radarr.
    I use h265 as i want smaller video files but any format can be choosen. This first part goes through the principles of how this works. The second video will go deeper using detailed examples. It is recommended to watch this video first.
     

    PART ONE

     

    PART 2

     

    I am following along, however there is no instruction on which Handbrake version to install.  There are two in the containers to be downloaded.  Which one should I be using to follow along?

    OK, I requested that you post up these files as they are always needed when you have issues.  (Snippets  of syslogs are generally useless for figuring out what is going on.)  I was hoping that some real Guru would step up to help you.  Since that has not happened, I will point out some things which I noticed.

     

    From what I can see in the diagnostics file, you have your Network connection (the Cat5 cable) to the eth1 port not the eth0 port.   It appears that this is actually working correctly.  (I am surmising this is the reason for the message in your snippet.) 

     

    First thing is that you have a problem with one of your Docker apps.  You can look at the Docker.txt file in the logs folder of the Diagnostics file.  You should probably stop the Docker from starting until you can figure out what is going on there.   

     

    You appear to have four SSD's installed on this server.  What are they being used for?  Have you checked the file systems to make sure they are OK.  (One of these SSD's-- according to the Smart data--- has had a very large number of dirty shutdowns.)

     

     

    First of all, thank you so very much for your time and effort.  I appreciate it greatly.

     

     

    NIC Ports: Motherboard (ASUS Rampage VI Extreme): Eth0 is a 10Gbe port/Eth1 is a 1Gbe port

     

    Docker: I have had a number of my system freezes while attempting transfers within "Krusader" (attemting to backup my WD My Cloud Data) So, if I can't transfer data, i'm totally hosed.

     

    SSD's:

    1 SATA-Storage

    3 NVME-1 cache, 1 storage, 1 unassigned (passthrough windows  10, functional also if not running unraid)

     

    Dirty Shutdowns: After system hangs, I have had no other choice but to do a cold restart.

    I would suggest that you post up the Diagnostics File from this server.  If you lose access with the WebGUI, login via the console and type    diagnostics   on the command line.  That will write the Diagnostic File to the logs directory/folder on your flash drive.  Upload that entire file with your next post.

    It seems as though it is a complete freeze.  I go to log in with root (have not changed due to that i'm still working out bugs)... and I get no activity from the keyboard.  Soooo... What do you advise?

     

    Should I reboot and do something, or not reboot and pull the USB?

     

    Please note that I had run "troubleshoot mode" from "CA (Some plugin or another LOL... The one for alerts and fixes), which is where I got the initial lines of script from...) However, it gives a zip file with a ton of Log and other files in it.... Which file should I post?

    My network connection keeps failing.  I am trying to figure out the problem, and in syslog.txt I find:

     

    May  5 12:30:48 7960UNRAID rc.inet1: ip link set eth0 master bond0 down

    May  5 12:30:49 7960UNRAID kernel: bond0: Enslaving eth0 as a backup interface with a down link

    May  5 13:00:30 7960UNRAID kernel: eth0: renamed from vethe4b16c9

    May  5 20:00:02 7960UNRAID kernel: vethe4b16c9: renamed from eth0

    May  5 20:00:23 7960UNRAID kernel: eth0: renamed from vethcbfbc2f

     

    Does any of this reflect what could  be causing the problem?

     

     

    Does anyone Eaton UPS with Unraid?

    Googling seems to indicate that several folks have gotten the NUT plugin for Unraid to work with the Eaton UPS's.  I would install it and work with the interface (I have never used NUT) to see if you can get it to work with yours.  If you have problems, there is a support thread where you ask for assistance. 

     

    I am assuming that you already have the Eaton unit.  The plugin is 'free' so you have nothing to lose by trying to get it to work.  I would not go out and purchase an Eaton when Cyberpower and APC are plug-and-play with the default plugin. 

    I will have a  look once I get this GUI connection drop dealt with.  Thank You. 

     

    Yes.  I do have Eaton already

    That's a lot of spec for someone who's got med priorities 😁

    Hope everything gets better soon mate

    How much did that lot cost you?

    Very fair questions.

     

    I've been building out since November of 2017... a little after Linus did his 3 VR gamer build.

     

    My nephew wanted a computer for music, and I wanted one to learn video production and 3D model design.  So I bought the cpu, mobo, RAM and used a 4tb hdd initially.  We've just been running windows essentially. 

     

    Since I returned to getting treated for knees (which have been an increasing problem for about 20 years (bilateral patella-alta) and have begun receiving tests to check my qualifications for a gastrointestinal procedure for the past 11 months.  So, I've been slowed down on the jobs I can take.  So getting large drives is a slow (and arduous) process. It's not been ideal... but one of my WD NAS drives already died, and I'm afraid that the other one may go soon too.

     

    But, I am in a place now that we are wanting to let him get more involved in his music with synths... So, either way i'm going to just have to pull the trigger.  He's 15, so his patience just blows me away.  :-D

    Sekrit's first unraid build

    in Unraid Compulsive Design

    Posted

    My first Unraid build consists of:

     

    Intel 7960x

    Asus Rampage VI Extreme

    32GB RAM

    EVGA Geforce 1080Ti

    PNY P4000

    Seagate Ironwolf 10TB

    WD Red 10TB

    Toshiba 8TB

    Samsung 860 Evo 1TB

     

    I want to do sooo much more like boost RAM and add NVME... but I have some med priorities right now.  Soooo...  maybe in 2020? 

     

    I honestly just want to get an active license so that I can start trying to debug why it keeps shutting down on me repeatedly, and then be able to use what I have already dumped my load on. :-/

    How to reload unraid web ui if no longer responding, docker apps are still ok

    I'd be interested in this too. The GUI "not responding" plagues users in various situations and has done across multiple versions of unRAID.

     

    I got around this in the past by installing the unMENU. When the GUI went down - which unfortunately is often - I was still able to pull a syslog and see what was going on!  I was trying to stay away from the command line and use unRAID the way it was intended but I have resigned myself to the fact that using the command line with unRAID is pretty much compulsory *shrugs*. Not sure if unMENU works with v6 - as like I said, I just use the command line now.

     

    Anyway - to help you - I find that finding the process that is "hanging" the GUI is the best method to solving these issues. Find it and decide. Kill it or wait for it to complete. Usually (if you're patient) the process will finish and the GUI will become responsive again.

     

    But if you're not patient.

     

    telnet into your system

    ps -ef

     

    This will bring back a list of processes running. Usually you can observe the last running processes and one of these is usually the one that is hanging the GUI. I find it is often easy to figure out which one it is. For example the last few times for me has been "Unassigned Devices" doing a mount or unmount which has hung things. Kill that process and boom, GUI is back and responsive again. I have also killed docker or kvm in the past too if I felt it was one of those the culprit.

     

    If you're brave, decide which process you think is hanging the gui and use kill <process_id> to kill it.

     

    I do find however that just waiting and going to grab a cuppa and coming back later is often the best method. I only use the above as a last resort or if I am in a hurry. Usually things work out and the GUI comes back if you just let things play out.

    But if the server cannot be accessed via ip address, preventing the reaching of the GUI... How do we Telnet in?

    Or, since parity must be rebuilt anyway, set a new config and assign ALL drives where you want them, and let the new parity be built with the old parity included as a data drive. The old parity drive should be the only drive that shows as unmountable, if other drives show as unmountable, don't format until those other drives are showing up properly.

    I really appreciate it.

    2).   If it is to replace an existing drive then no need to clear.  If it is adding it as a new drive then you can either pre-Clear it before adding it, or simply add it and let Unraid Clear (I.e. zero) it as part of the adding process.

    Thank you 🙂

    I have a 10TB parity hdd running.

     

    I bought and precleared a 14TB hdd.

     

    I want to replace the old 10TB with the precleared 14TB. 

     

    1.) Placing the 14TB hdd in place of the 10 hdd will auto build parity, right?

     

    I want to use the 10TB hdd as a data drive.

     

    2.) Do I need to zero the drive?  I can't find instructions that don't have me replacing a drive.

     

    Please advise.
