unRAID v6.5.2 Problem: I have Dynamix System Temperature plug-in installed with Perl, as required. The drivers loaded and the sensor readings were passed through. After a proper reboot, the sensor readings were gone, replaced by "Not used." After some searching found the Lime-Tech Wiki page that shows "sensors" command line. So I ran it in terminal. Output: root@unCube:~# sensors Error: File /etc/sensors.d/sensors.conf, line 4: Undeclared bus id referenced sensors_init: Can't parse bus name After attempting to show the content of the sensors.conf file, here's the output: root@unCube:/etc/sensors.d# sensors.conf content ./sensors.conf: line 2: chip: command not found ./sensors.conf: line 3: ignore: command not found ./sensors.conf: line 4: chip: command not found ./sensors.conf: line 5: label: command not found ./sensors.conf: line 6: chip: command not found ./sensors.conf: line 7: label: command not found ./sensors.conf: line 8: chip: command not found ./sensors.conf: line 9: label: command not found The Wiki shows the command sensors-detect, which is supposed to help configure the sensors.conf file. After running sensors-detect in terminal, here's the output. Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required kernel modules. I'm stuck here. It looks like performing the copy operation shown above and starting lm_sensors should solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mike. Have you looked at the video, Configuring Your Bios? Here's the link, top row and third from the left. https://lime-technology.com/videos/

4 x 4GB 1333 ECC RDIMM. My Supermicro X8SIL-F has only four DIMM slots, but the 8GB was too expensive, so I settled on 4GB sticks. This seems more than adequate for now.

Your welcome! I was a little dismayed when I opened my PSU to find two SATA power cables. Getting these for $5 each takes the sting out.

I am currently working on my first unRAID home server build. My power supply is the Seasonic Focus Plus Series SSR-650FX 80+ Gold, which only comes with three SATA power cables for a total of eight drives. I searched Newegg and Amazon for more SATA power cables, without luck. Then I reached out to Seasonic support who directed me to Build To Order Servers, Inc. Build To Order Servers, Inc. offers Seasonic modular cables at fair prices. Each of their 6 pin to SATA cables is $5, as of this posting. So, I called them. I didn't get a messaging service, call center, etc. I got a real, live person who took the time to look up my specific PSU and directed me to exactly the location on their website of the cable options they have. Very helpful and not in a hurry to get me off the phone. Additionally, I have been using the Seasonic wattage calculator. It is similar to the Cooler Master calculator. There are a bunch of others. Some members may already be aware of this resource. It was helpful to me, so I'm sharing. I like how this calculator gives a Seasonic PSU recommendation. In my case, I maxed out the drives, etc. It gave me a load wattage of 283W and a recommended wattage of 333W. Then I doubled it because the efficiency curve for PSU's is at 50%.

I appreciate your input. It looks like the issue is whether the user client file system is set as HFS+ or APFS. APFS is automatic for Mac OS's updated to High Sierra on SSD drives. We haven't updated from Sierra to High Sierra, yet. So right now it looks like an AFS or SMB share in unRAID would still be the way to go. The Apple support page says, I believe, that while the client side requires no change in Time Machine, the server side requires SMB shares, not AFP, for Mac clients using APFS file system. It appears Apple is saying that they're moving away from AFP to SMB sharing. Am I reading this correctly? If there is a problem getting time machine to work, I wouldn't be opposed to another backup solution. I like that Time Machine takes care of versioning of data automatically for each user. Right now, my big thing is being sure that I can run the HPE server with unRAID. Then it's getting the system tweaked. My next priority is setting up a backup routine. Somewhere near the end of everything is being able to run OwnCloud. By the way, thanks for letting me know about the search function not working. Something seemed off with the searching via the forum; now I know why.

I've wanted a NAS to centralize backing up of three MacBook Pros. We have several 1 TB external USB drives which is grossly insufficient. I have considered a Synology box, though the prices seem quite high for the hardware. I've built several desktop PC's in the past before moving over to the Mac platform when Apple moved to Intel chips from Motorolla, so I decided to resurrect my rusty computer skills to get a NAS running. First I considered FreeNAS, then Openmediavault. I came upon unRaid by way of a discussion in the FreeNAS forum, I think. After looking at the unRAID site, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. One thing that stands out is the vast amount of helpful getting started information, videos, etc., which is arranged in a logical, step-by-step, fashion. Honestly, the videos on the various topics really make this seem less like work and more like fun. So, here's what I'm looking at for an unRAID NAS build: Start with this motherboard and CPU: Supermicro X8SIL-F Xeon X3460 Build into this case: Fractal Design Node 804 Cube Case Add these components: Arctic Freezer 12 CPU Cooler Seasonic Focus Plus SSR-650FX Power Supply (I wanted a 550w, but this was cheaper) 4 x 4GB Nanya 1333 ECC Ram LSI SAS 9211-8i Sandisk Cruzer Fit 16 GB 2 - Samsung 860 EVO - 500 GB for redundant cache Add these data/parity drives: 5 - WD Red 4 TB NAS Drives (3 data; 2 parity) Replace stock 3 pin fans with PWM fans: 5 - Arctic 120mm PWM PST Fans 1 - Arctic 140mm PWM PST Fan Note: I had intended to add two additional 140mm fans above the MB to push heat up. Though, since the MB power connector is at the top of the board, the fans do not fit. Conclusion: This server will be used to: Backup MacBooks through Time Machine Backup DVD's Backup FLAC music files Run OwnCloud via Dockers Thanks in advance for looking at my proposed build. Any input would be appreciated - suggestions, questions, changes, etc. After I get this all set-up, I'll post pictures and detailed posts of my trials getting this server running. UPDATE: Initially I was going to transplant an HPE Proliant. Instead I went with the above Supermicro X8SIL-F. The system is built.

I am building my server now. I appreciate these videos, which will make the deployment of my hardware much easier. Thank you.
