  1. Thx, I created the docker, added netcat-openbsd, and still get unable to connect to libvirt. Anything else I'm missing? Btw, I suggest you remove TZ from your template, it is set by Unraid to the system TZ, no need for users to add it.
  2. I was about to add the XML file to my templates, and I noticed some activity on github, that looks like getting ready for adding to CA, if so, I'll just wait?
  3. Hi, since djaydev/docker-virt-manager is not in CA, how do I use the XML template to create my docker using https://github.com/djaydev/docker-virt-manager/tree/master/UnRaid/template?
  4. Thank you, worked as you described, parity is rebuilding.
  5. Thank you, 1, 2, 3, yes. Other than testing the 2 new new drives, is there any value in letting pre-clear complete, or can I stop it and start the swap?
  6. Hi, I'd please like some help confirming the procedure for expanding parity, using the parity copy method. I am running 6.6.7. I have 1 x 4TB ultrastar parity, and 1 x 4TB ultrastar data. I have 4 x 1TB samsung SSD cache. I added 2 x 12TB seagate, unassigned, busy pre-clearing. I would like to replace the 4TB parity with a 12TB, then use the old 4TB parity as data, and add the second 12TB as data. So it will look like; 12TB parity, 4TB + 4TB + 12TB data, 4 x 1TB SSD cache. The wiki describes a process of removing drives, I do not want to physically remove them. How would I swap the drive assignment, and copy parity, and add more data?
  7. Thank you, I set them, I'l reboot when the parity operation is finished. Followup, how does Unraid route / bind file share traffic vs. mgmt console binding? I.e. can I bond and brigde the 4 NIC's and use them for VM's and for file sharing, or is the file sharing always Eth0 the same IP as the server?
  8. Hi, trying to setup a system. Motherboard has 2 ports, and an Intel 4 port card. 4 ports on Intel NIC is in 802.ad bond connected to switch. 1 motherboard NIC is for OS, other NIC unused for IPMI. I want to use the bonded ports for VM bridging, and the motherboard port for Unraid. Install uses port-1 of the 4-port NIC as eth0, and I cannot remove the IP. How can I change what eth0 is, or remove IP from eth0?
  9. Hi, I am finally ready to convert one of my Hyper-V servers to Unraid. This machine has 8 drives, in 3 volumes, managed by an Adaptec 7805Q RAID controller. I am using the Adaptec BIOS utility, I deleted all volumes, I unintialized 6 of the 8 drives, 2 drives are grayed out, I can't select them to be uninitialized. When I try to switch from RAID to HBA, I get an error that I need to delete all volumes and uninitialize all drives. Any idea why some drives cannot be uninitialized, or an alternate way to force the switch to HBA mode?? Update: I mounted and booted into the bootable ISO support environment, and found that MaxCache was enabled on those drives. Disabled it, and was able to enable HBA mode. (MaxCache is not configurable from the BIOS)
  10. Can I use a second USB drive for a data disk?
  11. Thank you for the fast reply. To be clearer, I want to mount the Windows Server file shares in unRaid, and then mount them so Plex running on unRaid will stream files over CIFS from the Windows Server shares. Since it is all on USB and memory, I'll try it out. I assume no destructive disk edits will be made unless I say so?
  12. Hi, I've long been running two Hyper-V servers for all my needs. I wanted to switch to docker for my utility services, but I find that docker on W2K16 is still just too many hoops, and docker on Ubuntu server on Hyper-V sucks up tons of memory (at least I don't yet know how to get docker to not use 2GB per container in Hyper-V). My primary server has 60TB of data, backed by RAID6 on an Adaptec 81605ZQ, and the raw volume is mounted in a Hyper-V W2K16 NTFS volume serving as a file server. This network storage volume is used by Plex (also running on a W2K16 VM) and my Milestone XProtect NVR (also running on a W2K16 VM), plus a few other VM's. I have no intention of risking this data by migrating it anywhere else, maybe one day when a replacement is required, but for the foreseeable future Adaptec hardware RAID plus Windows Server and Hyper-V it is. My secondary server is also W2K16 Hyper-V, and this is where I run all sorts of things I like to test. I considered switching this box to Ubuntu Server, but frankly, I'm no good at all CLI, and this is where I'm considering something like unraid, not for the storage function, but for the utility function. Other than storage differences, both servers are Xeon E3 32GB Supermicro chassis. A few pertinent questions: 1) Is there a way to install unraid in Hyper-V, I want to test it out before I blow away a fully functional server. 2) Given that my primary storage server will still be W2K16 over SMB3, can I mount the shares in unraid over CIFS and make the data available to e.g. Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Sabnzbd running on unraid? 3) Does unraid support the Adaptec 81605ZQ and 7805Q RAID cards with configured volumes, not JBOD, and can I install the Adaptec Storage Manager tools in unraid to manage the hardware RAID volumes? 4) Are there any any other important things I should consider? Thank you
