What did you ever do for your i9 settings?  I have one and want to power it down a hair for energy without losing too much processing power.

I followed the guide for the i7 (I believe) and the only difference is that the efficient cores are all auto.
Doing the Passmark I can see that I pretty much have 50% of the score with these settings, witch is fine (Its a beast!).

If you're going to use that feature probably better to transcode to a path on ssd

After Plex removed the Sync feature and replaced it with the new Download feature, its not so bad, and the RamScratch gets empty pretty quickly.
Some restraint to the amount and size of files should be limited, but my initial tests have been okay.
But I am not using this now, I am focusing on eliminating the memory error - so it has no impact on the errors I currently get.

I have now set memory limit for all my dockers, hope to see a difference.
No morelogs since 16:00 what does this mean?

You may have other apps causing the server to run OOM, you can disable everything and start enabling one by one, then retest.

Yes, from the above error I can see a docker ID starting with c9e4ebfe searching for this I get the culprit? :

But I can see that this docker already have a limit of 1G:
--memory=1G --no-healthcheck --log-opt max-size=50m

 

The dev/shm will always be set to 50% of the available memory right?

So any input on what to do next? any other settings to limit memory for specific dockers

[How do I "Clone" my old settings to a new array while keeping my old cache drives?]

I can confirm this works!
 

I just had to update the format of my old cache drive before starting the server - because I converted it to ZFS after cloning the USB for the backup server!
Worked great! Both the Appdata, Domains, Systems and the docker VM worked and started up without errors.

I just whish I had reformatted all the older drives before adding them to the new array. But I just used the filemanager to delete old files.
And I am now adding parity drives so this is great! EVERYONE talks about how easy True Nas is moved between servers, but Unraid is better!
Here I rebuilt my array and keept every App & settings on a "new" server with ease!

[Your server has run out of memory (Not a HW problem)]

Ok so my trouble shooting continues 🙂

• I Have installed the swapfile plugin (You recommended above) successfully (Standard size setting is around 2G)

• I have moved the RamScratch settings to each of the dockers and also set memory limits
  • (PLEX) --no-healthcheck --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 --restart unless-stopped --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp/PlexRamScratch,tmpfs-size=68719476736 --memory=64G
  • (EMBY) --no-healthcheck --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 --restart unless-stopped --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp/EmbyRamScratch,tmpfs-size=8589934592 --memory=8G
  • (JELLYFIN) --no-healthcheck --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 --restart unless-stopped --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp/JellyRamScratch,tmpfs-size=8589934592 --memory=8G

 

After doing this I get a docker Warning: Your kernel does not support swap limit capabilities?
(Running the RamScratch as a script I never saw any warnings like below, did I do something wrong?)

I can see that the memory limit is implemented on the docker webpage:


But I still see this:


And again today:


If these are to be just ignored then it would be nice not to have them in RED letters 🙂

[How do I "Clone" my old settings to a new array while keeping my old cache drives?]

Hi All

What I am trying to do:
Build a backup server and keep my old settings Shares, Users, Config & old cache drives with my Appdata/Domains/System/Dockers/Plugin
BUT I want to build a new array with all new drives?

 

SO FAR:

• I have succesful cloned my old Unraid USB and bought a new pro license. changed IP and server name in config.
• I can boot and I have all the old drives listed as missing

 

I would like to keep my old cachedrives (Appdata/Domains/System/Dockers) and all my shared folder settings.
But I would like to build a completely new array with new drives. (I already moved everything to my new server)

 

Is this at all possible and how would I go about this?

Currently I can boot up and it remembers all the old drives and see all my new drives.

The "New config" under settings looks like the right way to do this? -  But then I will loose all my old cache drives?

Or can Unraid "see" the old formatted cache drive and the naming of the old orig. cachepools - if I just plug them in? (NVME drives)

Sorry if this ia a stupid Q, but I want to be sure before pressing the "New config" button 🙂

[Your server has run out of memory (Not a HW problem)]

I just discovered I have both the script and the advanced settings for RAMscratch

--no-healthcheck --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 --restart unless-stopped --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=8589934592
And the above scripts, to create the RAMscratch 🙂

 

• Any recommendation to use one over the other? (I cant remember if one solution is better to cleanup than the other in RAM?)
• And did you want me to do a "--memory=8G" for the Plex docker?
• Any size recommendation for the swapfile?

Sorry I have read many of the posts (Really old) and I am curious to if this have any effect on my memory problems?
(I also now have ZFS drives and I can see they also allocate more RAM)

[Your server has run out of memory (Not a HW problem)]

Thanks JorgeB, I can see my Plex is one update short. Will update right away!

mgutt helped me long time ago setting up at RamScratch folder for Plex at boot (Script), but I guess you talk about the docker advanced settings memory limit?
I was told that it would be best to remove them but that was in 2022 🙂

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /tmp/PlexRamScratch
chmod -R 777 /tmp/PlexRamScratch
mount -t tmpfs -o size=40g tmpfs /tmp/PlexRamScratch

 

(The 40g size is to accommodate the download feature in Plex). 

I did install the swapfile plugin and created it on a single U3 cache drive with btrfs - any recommendation on the size?
I went with the default values (Size: 20G)

 

I still think its strange that after upgrading from 64G to 128G of newer and faster RAM I have these low on RAM problems?
Is it fragmentation or is this some Kernel Memory Limit causing the OOM on Docker hosting?

[Your server has run out of memory (Not a HW problem)]

The btrfs question was related to the plugin you suggested for the swapfile looks like it needs btrfs formatted drives?

 

Also got a new error, I havent seen before but resulting in the same memory error message?

I have not installed any new dockers? (Just moved everything to the new server now with ZFS cache?)

I can see that its a event notification (My mistake)

[[PLUGIN] IPMI for 6.11+]

First what a GREAT plugin! - I just installed it and everything works out of the box!
I just have one question or two (Might be stupid ones, sorry)

 

I have a red icon on PSU1 Power Out is this a warning? (Haven't seen anything in the IPMI configuration.

IPMI interface:


And does all the N/A mean that I can remove them, or that they could get a value if for example the PSU2 would take over?

 

Also I could never get the IPMI e-mail notification service working, would enabling notification use the Unraid e-mail notification instead?

Thanks again your work is much appreciated.
 

[[PLUGIN] GPU Statistics]

I just switched to using a Intel iGPU and I noticed that the plugin dosen't show any icon for the docker that is utilizing the transcoder anymore? (Before I had a small Plex icon below on the dashboard) Is this just a NVIDIA feature? or am I missing a setting or plugin addon?

[Your server has run out of memory (Not a HW problem)]

Sure, but currently waiting for the mover to finish (Very slow), but I will do that afterwards and see if this makes a difference.

Thanks for helping!

This seems to be for systems with little RAM and BTRFS? (I dont have any BTRFS drives anymore)
I am just in the progress of moving to ZFS for all my cache drives - so I can use snapshot etc.
So would this still be a viable solution?

[Your server has run out of memory (Not a HW problem)]

This is happening with no docker and no VM's running!
I just did a reboot and got the error message away from the "Fix common problem"
The only thing I am doing right now is moving my appdata back to the cachedrive.
But looking at the RAM on the dashboard I dont see high usage:

Why is it saying maximun size 256 GiB? (I only have 128GiB)

ZFS is high (But only like 15,6G) is ZFS capped to a special % of the total RAM?

I dont have any special logging enabled, and not using syslog either?

Alos I have only one browser open to Unraid connect.

[Your server has run out of memory (Not a HW problem)]

Hi All

So I just successfully moved my Unraid installation to a brand new platform. (I love UNRAID!)

But my happiness was short lived !!!
 

On my old server I did sometimes experience the "Your server has run out of memory" but I could never find the cause?
And I always ended up rebooting the server, when this happened.

My new server have 128G RAM !!! (Twice that of the old one) and after running for only a couple of hours I got the error 😞

(I did do a burn-in and a extended memtest of the new platform and all is 100% ok!)

So two different platforms but with the same error, what in my UNRAID is causing this?

Diagnostic attached.

[Dedicated Plex drive? - Cache pool? or UAD?]

Ok thanks just wanted to make sure I didn't missed something pro/cons

[Dedicated Plex drive? - Cache pool? or UAD?]

Hi All

In the "old days" setting a dedicated fast SSD for you Plex/Emby/Jellyfin - meta data was a thing to do.
I personally just kept it on my cache_appdata NVME cache, but lately IO is a concern.

So is the "right" setup a dedicated cache_ plex or a separate UAD Nvme?
I guess the cache with ZFS and snapshot would be the reason to go and create a cache pool for Plex?
I would like to hear what other people have done?

(Because of space constraint I disabled the "Video miniature" function, but with a dedicated HD for this I might enable it again, it was nice when scrolling forward in movies)

[Controlling of fan speed in a server case backplane?]

On 2/12/2024 at 6:15 PM, Vr2Io said:

Note, but I haven't similar problem show in the video, fan have several time ramp up & down.

Mine only ramp to 100% during booting in several sec. ( I exclude the CPU sensor, because it shouldn't a good source to determine the fan PWM ) 

 

I bet the bundle fan max at 5000+rpm, thats fine because you can control those through IPMI. That also why I perfer 3000rpm fan in previous. ( i.e. P12 Max )

 

Yes the ramp-up is because (See the graph above) I have set ramp-up at 30C for the CPU, so every time it went above the fans would go to 30% and the CPU would go below 30C and ramp down to 20%. I have to test and see what temperature I get under load, in order to make it more "stable". (To be honest I was just working with all the settings and cables and was getting CRAZY over the noise level (I have no drives in the case yet!)

I also ended up buying a Noctua NF-A4x10 12V PWM - 40mm - This is a great fan for my HBA card (I wasn't aware how hot this thing was!)

This is a great small and silent fan compared to the case fans 🙂

The great thing is that with all these case fans, I can really ramp-up and cool everything quickly! - I like having the power to do extra cooling during summer time.

(I do have a A++ portable air-conditioning unit, but the Electric bill would be high!, so loud fans is better) 

Do you know of any TEMP probes to buy? - I can see that the IPMI refers to these Sensors being attached to the board but I would need to buy one?
Also the MB temp sensors is working but for some reason I cannot use it in the IPMI setup when controlling the fans (Very strange!).

The entry for the GUI mode has a comma rather then a space before the /bzroot-gui option.  The options are meant to be space separated, so  having a comma instead will stop the /boot-gui being recognised as an option.

[Unraid GUI at boot?]

Hi All

After running Unraid for years and multiple upgrades and implementing new and great implementations!

Some where along the way I lost the ability to boot into the local GUI (Firefox).

Yesterday I tried to do a trial install on another USB and the GUI worked perfectly!
I really dont want to start over, installing Unraid again.

 

So I have always had the boot set to:


But I end up with the Login terminal prompt.

The standard setting on a fresh install looks like this:

 

I dont see anything prohibiting the GUI in the above settings.

So, is there any command to manual start the GUI after logging in on the terminal (I have Attached a screen).

I would like to see if that would generate any errors in the logs.

Building a new Unraid server (Bought a second full license) I would really like to get "everything" working on the new server! (Without starting over again).

2. Booting up with GUI on Unraid only get terminal prompt with user/password login? (Only have VGA terminal monitor attached)

I am really happy with the FAN control on the IPMI with the right cables (High amp fans) and the extra power connector its pretty great!

UPDATE: Bios to 3101, it seem that the settings for the iGPU might have changed?
