Hi quick question i wrote a script to enable me to start backing up my most valuable data but ran into a few problems, #!/bin/sh rsync -av --delete /mnt/user/Pictures /mnt/disks/Backups_Ext Backup when well but when finished has used 75% of my memory and it pegged my cpu at 100% for about 3mins and when i tried to start my VM it wouldnt as not enough memory , also made my system very unstable to the point unusable so had reboot. Thankfully everything back to normal but was wondering if can i manually flush/empty the memory?

Hi can anyone tell me why my script wont work since update to 6.9, the script spins my drives up during busy time at time #!/bin/bash disks=$(ls /dev/md* | sed "sX/dev/mdXX"); for disknum in $disks; do /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd spinup $disknum; done below is error i get Script location: /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/Spin Up Drives/script Note that closing this window will abort the execution of this script /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd: line 11: echo: write error: Invalid argument /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd: line 11: echo: write error: Invalid argument /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd: line 11: echo: write error: Invalid argument /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd: line 11: echo: write error: Invalid argument /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd: line 11: echo: write error: Invalid argument /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd: line 11: echo: write error: Invalid argument any help would be great

Quick question if i move my dashboard widets in a certian order and the next time i login to ,y server via my browers there back in the default order, is there a way to keep them how i like them ?? cheers

I take it the boot/config/modprobe file is already present on the flash drive. Thanks very much only use my server for plex so like you useless to me if cant transcode. Thanks again and sorry for the hassle

Yeah i understood the intel part 😄 , so if i login into unraid from my w10 pc and open a console window and type touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf that's it ?

This command "touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf # create an empty file" Im sorry for the hassle just not very clear to me. So within config/modprobe.d folder create a file with "touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf # create an empty file" using notepad ??

if using an intel igpu im sure you need to whitelist the driver for it to work

Ok thanks will have a look, would this command need to be entered in the terminal window after every reboot

I see you use the igpu for plex transcoding, i have i7400 with igpu and use mine mainly for plex, updating tomorrow and just wondering if i have to change anything within the plex docker parameters like i originally did top get it use use igpu for hardware transcoding. What exactly did you add or remove form the /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg file. Thanks

Glad you figured it out mate.

Did you remove the extra lines in the go file or leave them

@itimpi ive managed to boot and upgrade to 6.9, thanks for your help.

So will I create a new usb installation stick and install and request a new key? I have my discs assignment saved. Also what will I lose if I do so?

Can I remove the files.

Hi please see attached screen shot, tried to upgrade to 6.9 beta on saturaday and it downloaded fine and ask me to reboot, after i did reboot system wont boot, goes past bios splash screen then just loops like that. I have selected usb stick in bios but still the same. Do they files on the usb stick look ok ??

Yes stick shows up passes bios splash screen then just get a blinking cursor

Ive just rebooted my server after trying to up date to 6.9 rc2 now it wont boot usb stick seems fine as as reconised by other pc. Cant find my backup either what options do i have

My 8tb n300 in now ( only been a week mind you) running fine and cool and not any noiser than my seagate iron wolfs 4tb if im honest. Using it as parity, see how it goes as looking for drives to upgrade my 4tb ones.

OK many thanks will ask for some help over in the other forum. Main thing is that it's backed up. I'm going to be moving my plex folder to a new nvme drive tomorrow on unassigned devices so hopefully go ok. Thanks again and please keep up good work on you tube considering becoming a patreon

Ok will do thanks very much will the log buttons reappear ??

ive now lost the option buttons for the logs in user scripts page

Hi mate thanks for your reply very much appreciated, typed in terminal with +1 and nothing deleted but no errors, i changed to +0 and deleted folder see below

Good morning mate here is a copy of log and script still seeing undleted files in backup folder Log.txt Script.txt
