Ok, I got the split level thing down. For the move I would do something like this? mv /mnt/disk1/media/TV Shows/NCIS/* /mnt/disk1/TV_Shows/ And that would move everything to the new share? Would I have to do this for each disk and on each show? What about any previous seasons that may be split across multiple disks already? That's why I was wondering if it would just be easier to make the new share and then cut and paste it from one share to other so the files all get in the correct place. Thanks!

What do you mean by go disk by disk and move? Do I browse each disk on my server and move them so all the files in the movies folders and seasons are on the same disk? I have 6 disks (1 of them is a parity) and my movies and tv shows are both split out on all 5 disks.

Hi, I currently have a share called media that is setup that goes media>movies/TV shows>movie folder/series folder I want to set a separate share for each so I have movies>movie folder with a split level of 2 so everything in the movie folder is on the same disk For TV shows it would tv>series folder>season folder with a split level of 3 so that each season is on the same disk. First, do I have the proper split level? If I cut the files and paste them in the new share will they be removed as soon as they are copied? For example, lets say I have 10 files that are each 5GB. When I cut and paste that file to the new share as soon the the first 5GB file is copied will it be removed from the old media share? I am just wondering if I can copy them all at once or if I will have to make sure I have enough free space first. Thanks!

Hi all, I recently ran into an issue with my CPU/Motherboard where my computers boots but I can't get any video or network connection. I believe the issue is either with my CPU or motherboard but I figured I would just replace the both of them. I had: AMD Sempron 145 Sargas Single-Core 2.8GHz ASRock 880GM-LE. I use it just as a file server now so low power is good. I was thinking of setting up OpenVPN on it sometime too. It looks like there are some good low power dual core processors now such as Intel Celeron G1840. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Deleting the plugins and then booting it up worked!

I typed in powerdown earlier and it did shutdown my server so I am able to do that. I'm not sure where to go next now though.

No, I do not. I could move and try to get one hooked up though. I attached my syslog if that helps. syslog.txt

Hi, My unRaid server is running 5.0.5 with Dynamix and has suddenly stopped allowing me to connect to it. I was able to connect/browse to it fine the other day and when I booted it up today I am unable to connect. I made no changes to anything in unRaid. I thought it was Microsoft Security Essentials because there was just an update for that but I tried uninstalling it and still nothing. I can ping/telnet but can not access it through the Web GUI or Windows Explorer. I am using Windows 7 64 bit on both computers. Any idea what is wrong? Thanks!

# Generated settings: shareUser="e" shareUserInclude="disk1,disk2" shareUserExclude="" shareSMBEnabled="yes" shareNFSEnabled="no" shareNFSFsid="100" shareAFPEnabled="no" shareInitialOwner="Administrator" shareInitialGroup="Domain Users" shareCacheEnabled="yes" shareCacheFloor="2000000" shareMoverSchedule="40 3 * * *" shareMoverLogging="yes" It doesn't look like disk 3 is showing up in there. I've had the drive in there for a little bit (before one of the drives hit the 1.5TB used) so I think it should be using it now. I checked there and that looks like it was the problem! Disk 3 wasn't added. I thought I just had to add it under the individual shares and not there. It's showing up with the right size now so I'm sure it will start putting files there now. Thanks everyone!

I recently added a new hard drive to my array and for some reason unRaid is not using it. Here are screenshots of my setup: As you can see disk 3 is not being used, even when I add more files. In my shares it's not showing the space as being there either. As you can see in the third image I do have the disk included. Any idea what is wrong?

Any other ideas?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. But I'll answer what I think you're asking. I have to admin (read/write) account. The default root account and one called "admin". I use the admin account on my windows 7 machine to do everything. I only use root when I log into the web interface. Initially admin wasn't working properly until I did the New Perms utility and then it started working. Thanks for response!

Any suggestions for things to try?

Hi, when I try to delete certain files I get the error "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program". I don't have the file open and even try doing it right once the server boots up. I've had this error for a little while have never gotten it to work. It just randomly happened one day and haven't been able to get it to work since then. I was able to delete some of the files where these 'locked' ones are just fine. I did not do any upgrades that would have caused this. I just recently tried updating from the old 5 beta to the RC to see if that would fix it and it did not. Is there a reason why I am getting this error that can be solved? Would a parity check fix anything since I haven't done one in about a year? I think it is also playing a role with another issue I have with Ember Media Manager (an XBMC application used to save nfo and images) not being able to save files to one of my folders. I am able to save files to TV Shows folder but not my Movies folder (through Ember Media Manager only, I can still drag and drop files to the server). Both of those files are in the same share but different folders. I've tried deleting Windows credentials and that does nothing. Same thing with new permissions. Syslog is attached. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! syslog.txt

Thanks! I will give simple features a try and see how that works out. If someone has a way to do a shutdown please let me know.

Right now I typically don't use the server every day and when I do it's only for a couple hours at night so I just completely shutdown the server when I'm done with it. I also moved into a new apartment and right now the best location for it is inside of a closet where it starts to get a little warmer if I leave it turned on for long periods on times. Being able to have it shutdown automatically would make it very convenient for me.

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to either make my server do a clean power down or sleep (preferably a clean shutdown) after about 30 minutes or an hour of inactivity. I've been searching around and have seen some information that the powerdown script can be used to this. Now, I'm not very familiar with Linux so could someone help me out or point me in the right direction to get this set up? Thank you very much!

Looks like that fixed the problem! Thanks!

How do you run the NewPerms script? So when I create the admin I will need to retransfer all my files? When its all done I should have a root and admin as read/write and a media user for read only on all my shares? Thank you.

I am running 5.0beta-13 and have a quick question. I have my shares set up as private so you need to log in to view them. On my PC while being logged in as root I am able to access my share and read/write to the share. When on my HTPC and try to log in as my "read-only" account I can't get in to any subfolders. I can get in the main share but that's it. I can't open any of my folders (movies, tv shows, etc). I am using Windows 7 64 bit for both with an SMB share. What is wrong? Thanks!

Got everything working fine now. Must have been my labeling (disk1, disk2). I also got my pro upgrade set right if that had anything to do with it.

It's still not allowing me to select private or write to my shares. And when I take the array down it takes away my shares. I says the array needs to be running to configure the shares. Here is a screenshot of what the configuration looks like. Do you see anything set up wrong? More screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/F1YZk.png http://i.imgur.com/ImlAW.png http://i.imgur.com/UqmH5.png

Thanks. It doesn't say anything next to "Private" but I will just wait until the parity sync is done and try to stop the array. I just read that you could still transfer files and what not while that was going so I figured I would start setting things up.

Hello, I just set up my first Unraid server and have run into a problem. I can't write to my shares or disks. I set export to "Yes", security to "secure". I gave root "Read/write" but I can't get it to work. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and it does not ask me for log in credentials. I even tried setting it to public and that didn't allow me to write to it either. I am using version 5.0-beta13. Also, why is private greyed out in the security options for the share? From what it looks like here that is the option I need selected for what I want to accomplish. Another question I have is can I set certain shares to be not readable by certain users? Thanks. EDIT - Note: The Parity-Sync is still running from the initial setup if that affects anything.
