    how do you get custom br2 br3 etc to show up in docker?

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by comet424

    there seems to be something wrong with my unraid i posted an issue no one has replied to about  parent br  br2 br3   and i trying to reinstall shinbo  to try this program out  but i find  there is only custom br0    not br0 to br5   whats causing this issue?  

     

    i get this error no one has figured out 

    Jun 24 19:36:42 Tardis root: Error response from daemon: network dm-b6e310e46181 is already using parent interface br2
Jun 24 19:36:42 Tardis root: Error response from daemon: network dm-27db50de59ed is already using parent interface br3
Jun 24 19:36:42 Tardis root: Error response from daemon: network dm-384eab18d937 is already using parent interface br4

     

     

    so in dockers  all i have is none,bridge,host, custom:br0     i dont get my other brs..

     

    i tried deleting the network.cfg to try to fix it but it didnt help

     

    what can i do to fix this error and what not and get the customs  br's back

    how long should parity rebuild take when you upgrade to 14tb drives

    in General Support

    ah ok...  so for plex no transcoding needed .. as its all direct play from xbox  to plex  or PC to plex..  i dont do the phone  at home and my internet is too slow less then 500k upload so i just do it at home...

    plus i think u need to buy the full blown plex to get hardware transcoding

     

    so if unraid is not suitable for multiaccess   then freenas is better for that?  or unraid with the zfs.... so whats good about having multi pools well i know for what i got.. but it seems its a pain if you wanna expand a pool..  so if you have 10tb on one pool but you wanna upgrade it to 20 or 30tb.. its almsot like you gotta create a new pool... as you should have gotten enough hard drives the first time to do say 30tb 

    is that correct?

     

    so  when you do  256gb of ram  when you cache it does it also go straight to the array  or does it wait till midnight to offload   with the mover?   and is that 80 81 setting in the tweaks and tips  set for your 256gb...   

     

    and i might do that  strip the data on some hard drives..

     

    whats better when stripping.. more hard drives or like say if you can put it on 2 16s   or go to like 6 6tb drives... and would that max the network...  id like to get 10gb  just so i dont max out my unraid.. i find i loose connection sometimes if i do muiti copies  at once  if terminaled in and rsync  ill find i get connection losses  over 1gb  connection... 

     

    but i always learning... learn something everday...  as i like to be able to maximise things 

    i appreciate the help so far...  cuz it helps me try to better my setups  as i working on my archive server i wanna do once a week backup  and my backup server to backup each day..

     

    unraid locking me out when copying from nvme to nvme and errors

    hi i just got this  samsung s980 pro 2tb nvme and i working on building an archive server

     

    so i put in my WD  2tb black nvme    in and i did a copy from WD 2tb to Samsung 2TB  and i get locked out for a while

    my rsync  crashes  and it closes the window  the hard drive light keeps going.. and i can ping but i cant ssh or get access to the gui

     

    it takes like 5 min before unraid comes back..  so its like 100% cpu is locked up and i locked out.. there is some warnings and errors  i not sure what it means

     

    can someone tell me if its nvme  either WD or Samsung  or if its the cpu

     

    and i ran the rsync from nvme to nvme twice...  so the first time i got some warnings  and then i was locked out and terminal window closed.. then it came back...  

    then i retried again and then locked me out and terminal window closed and it came back after.. then i found the duplicated errors  cuz i rysynced it    so i realize those ..  just dont know why i get locked out  and it crashes  and the red errors etc

     

    oh and when i do get it copying  it caps off at 1.2gb/s   one is reading and one is writting.. but i not getting like 5gb/s   i figured id get from copying from nvme to nvme   both pcie 4 nvmes 

    but the rsync when it did copy all said

    sent 194,329,695,866 bytes  received 1,981,297 bytes  818,238,640.69 bytes/sec
    total size is 1,199,304,972,472  speedup is 6.17

     

    so i not sure what is 6.17 is that the gb/s  but yet unraid gui said 1.2gb/s   so i not sure if i have things miss configured etc

    thats what i mean ...  

    currently  my main server has 2 nvmes   ones like 1tb and noother is a 500gb  

    1tb is for VMs and the 500 is for appdata

     

    what i wanna do is change it to  

    2 2TB mirror    as a pool so vms and appdata are on the same drive mirrored

     

    but in the mean time  since Balance Plugin  doesnt do  pools  to transfer files  

     

    i shoved the 2TB drive in my backup server..  then i wanted to transfer  the VMS over the network from the main server  and then the appdata... and then add then change it out on the Main server.. and then when i got the 2nd  2TB drive i was going ti mirror  so i have redundancy...

     

    but currently i cant mount the drive and i got those 2 warnings

    ah ok.. for your videos .. how long does it take when you load a video you said you dont use plex.. like for me its pretty quick  if its just vlc player on my windows machine... i just find it slow going through plex...  its buffering or its just spinning at first.. so i figured  well maybe strip it.. to get fastest speed   over a 1GB  network..   dont have 10g .. and i play through my Xbox Plex...

     

    as for the cctv  ya i cant get it to work right on shinobi  what program you use?  i find when i do add a camera  on the screen  it doesnt stream smoothly its like a video shot ever 5 seconds  or 10   and nothing moves smoothly..  but i did change motherboard and ram..  but havent re tested yet.. but it was a headache so i shelved it for a bit

     

    ya i never had synology.. i cam from using Windows Home Server 2003 and Home Server 2011 and since windows stopped making it..  i found Unraid which i really like..  i tried freenas but you cant just add hard drives easilly as you go..  you need to buy all the hds you need at first and set up... so i went the unraid and so far i got 5 licenses i use between myself and i bought for my sister.. 

     

    so your motherboard is a server motherboard then.. if you got 8 32gib ram sticks...   and does it do everything you need?  i just bought another x570 motherboard  making a archive server  so it will only come on once a week and just backup files either off my main server or off the backup server... so i just have extra  backups of my pictures and home videos and docs etc...

     

    so then my 1gb and single spinners should be ok..  if you were to have like 2-4 people watching off plex..  would the 1gb  or single spinner still be ok?  

     

    and is this setup for home use  for multiaccess..  thats why i was wondering   if i had 2-4 people using plex maybe i needed to strip a pool  raid 0  and put the videos on there just to expand the speed.  i dunno  always looking to improve things  🙂

    ok  so if nvme is better then spinners in raid0 cache spinner  but its still expensive if say you want 3 4tb but then i guess i probably dont use that much.. that was when i was transfering from server to server changing over...   but i dont have space for nvmes anymore  my board only has 2 spot 

    i use 1 for vms  and 1 for the appdata... and then i was thinking of doing one for plex  a sata ssd  so its seperate... i dunno i just find it slow

     

    and i find it slow loading up a video off the spinners...

     

    and without the cache directorys i see the spinners have finally spun themselves down now too.. as they were always running and its just basiclly me  just accessing the server

     

    my plex ony scans when i move a new video to the directory as i ripped most of my dvds/blurays and shoved them in the basement  when i add a new one plex sees it and scans then...  

     

    i was thinking maybe 1 server for media and other server just data files...  

    i have cctv spinner drive i got so far 6 hard drives.. but i couldnt get shinobi to work properly and the video were choppy when i set it up  not like my reolink desktop app so i shelved it..  still want to get it working so i not always looking lol but thats part of the server too

    figured maybe a cctv needs its own computer?  or is it good enough on unraid with everything else...

    then looked at a video card to see if it will speed it up  but havent got arround to it now

     

     

    so the array is a parital back of the pool..  so that means  example if your media is on the pool  it runs faster  then say on the array?

    i was thinking of something like that in my head maybe media would connect faster not so much buffering at start  if it was a raid 0  or media was on a 2nd server and the first server runs the plex and connects to the 2nd server for the media like a freenas as i read its faster then unraid..  i just try to think and google. or other peoples builds to try to improve things..

     

    you must have some of those 24 bay hard hot swaps  or like those back blaze  for all those hard drives..  what kinda motherboard you use too.. as i find my gaming motherboards never have enough pci  slots to add extra stuff... or what not...

     

    and ya 400 to 200 watts its a big difference.. least in the winter 400 watts can keep your room warm

    so for the dirty and background ram settings.. when you test higher.. how do you test for if the performance is getting better?  

     

    so far the 32gig fits in my needs cuz i dont run all my vms at once..i just kept it down.. but if i using like 60% of the ram already for vms and dockers  and if i wanna increase the dirty background i should get more ram then right?  

     

    so far like with the ssd  cache it was fast  in past when i had it but after copying more then a 1TB of data  it slowed down and then you had to run the mover..  so it fell out of my needs  thats when i was orginally building my unraid copying from my old windows home server nas....  so i not sure if 1tb is good enough cache now as i dont always copying to the array.. but maybe...  as i wanna do windows backups like spaceinvader video.. and such..  

     

     

    when you say spinners are powered down   you mean like powered down  in the array..  i used to have that but then they start up randomly or stay on  

     

    and reason i figured maybe raid 0  cache pool like 2 6tb drives then maybe its faster then a sata ssd.  and it be more then 1tb  as 4tb still pricy

     

    sooo  both your pool 1 and 2  are raid 0  then  so thats fast copying...   what do you copy

    and for your array  is that powered down too.. so you run 2 comps then  

     

     

    what i want is like my array to be spun down...  and and do windows backups  but keep spun down i guess to goto a pool?

     

    also i find my plex is slow to load on nvme   and i find loading a video slow on plex too..  do you recommend videos   be on a pool raid 0  and not on the array

     

    i always looking to improve my setup try to speed it up and always learning of other peoples setups that i could tweak mine from what i learn from others setups  

     

    also should file server be on a seperate computer then the videos...  or on one.. so far i got my data on my array..  over 2 14tb drives  and the rest is the plex and misc videos

    and i apprecaite the help talk so far i always learn something new everyday

    ah ok so my tips and tweaks is set for 

    10 background and 20 dirty ratio... so i should set it to 80 and 81?  to get the best speed

    and i seen that before what is a race condition

     

    and whats caae?

    and ya i have 32 gig stick at the moment to run everything on my unraid vms dockers etc..

    and when you say  transfer data in 24g.. is that 24 gig files?  or transfering 24 gig at a time like in a windows copy just selecting a bunch of files that equals around 24gig?

     

    and what is the issue with power off..  and data lost?  i do run the server on a ups 

     

    so you dont use spinners...     

    so for your setup    so u got 8 drives in 1 pool and 12 disks in a 2nd pool and whats the size of the array in disks.    so your 2 pools they are both in raid0 striping.. and is that for caching, to the array?  as id like to get best speed.. but ssds are too expensive if you want say like a 4tb ssd  and then they wear out.. how many spinners would you need to get to a ssd speed

     

    always learning...  and should i get 64gig of ram for my main server then?

     

    and does the cache on the spinner drives do anything for unraid  like help it  or unraid doesnt see the cache

     

    as exos i have is 256mb and wd are 512mb

    ah ok so then my system was working away even though i had everything turned off too i tried before  like stop all dockers and vms and it took 2 days before too.. os it was the cache directory plugin?  it used to work fine maybe something bugger it up...

     

    so youd suggest then i get another of this ecc ram 32gig  to make it 64gb  and then use the tips and tweaks plugin?  and that lets you adjust more ram caching then? and whats a SFF motherboard?

     

    so you use an array..  but also  use a pool thats in a Raid 0   so you emlimated a cache pool... does that mean you use like instead of a 1 ssd of 1tb that you fill up 

    youd use like say 4 6tb drives in raid 0    so you get more disk space and faster.. and thats your cache drive?

     

    as id like to speed up my unraid....  i just didnt like with freenas you needed to buy drives of 3 sets the same size...

     

    and least the parity build is done...  and cpu ultiziation dropped more too  i guess it was just hogging the cpu the cache plugin

    ya  is anything else slowing things down  least it be done in a  7 hours it says not 22 more hours  like 2 days  like frig lol...

     

    how do you do ram caching?  or run msot of the stuff in ram isnt that how unraid does it?     aand what you  mean 1st tier was ssd/nvme and 2nd for main storage?

     

    and i appreciate you helping me so far..  as i wouldnt know what was hogging stuff.. as long as cpu usuage isnt full red i figure i doing ok lol  and wanted freenas speeds but love the way unraid works  1 drive ata time adding lol  so unraid is for me 🙂

    i have no idea what another parallel disk read operation is...  i know i installed the cache dirctory a few years ago..  but then i had a cache drive back then.. but then i found i was filling it too much  500gb wasnt big enough  and 1tb didnt help so i just wrote to the array instead  

     

    its doing better now   and here is the new diagnostic....  do you use cache directory  when you have a cache drive??  and the cache on the disks''     these seagates have 256 but my wd  have 512mb   does unraid utilize them?
