  1. I was changing into a new case and managed to physically damage my flash drive. The drives are all OK and plugged in in the same order (I think). I think I'm using v6.4 but not 100% sure. What do I need to do to get it back online? I've been away from the forum for some time as the Unraid has just been chugging away happily for 2yrs+ with out incident. 

     

    Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

     

    Thanks.

  2. Am I being a tard?

     

    So I have Plex installed with docker. I have the containers set up as such:-

     

    container volume - /Movies, Path - /mnt/user/Movies

    container volume - /MKV Movies, Path - /mnt/user/MKV Movies

     

    Go to plex and nothing in the library.

     

    What am I missing?

     

     

     

     

     

     

  3. I download PMS from the Plex website, copied it to boot/extra, installed the package using  installpkg /boot/extra/PlexMediaServer-*-unRAID.txz. The server was still online at this point.

     

    Then I went to copy the plex updater from my desktop to /boot/config/plugins but when I went to \\tower\flash there was nothing there just an empty drive.

     

    I shut the sever down via the webgui, pulled the usb and stuck it in my laptop. Windows said there is a problem with your drive do you want to scan. I clicked no and went to the usb via windows explorer and every thing is present.

     

    BUT the server won't boot. 

  4. Im having a big clear out ready for a house move and so a lot of bits I was keeping for a build have to go.

     

    1:- Areca arc1280ml raid card with battery backup. This is a 24port raid card. It has 6 mini sas connectors for connecting upto 24 drives. (no cable supplied but the are easy to get hold of on eBay). It runs off a pci-e x16 slot. It's works perfectly with unraid and especially good if you are looking to get the most of your pro licence and only have the one pcie x16 slot.

     

    Asking £200 plus p&p

     

    2:- motherboard, ram and cpu bundle. Great system, never overclocked. This includes:-

    Great kit, looking for £225 plus p&p

     

    3:- lian li pc343 cube case. Good condition, has some holes drilled in the right hand side where I mounted a radiator. It will also need the casters replacing but that's not a big job. This is a big case, it has 9x 5.25 bays. Using 5 in 3 cages you can fit 30 drives.

     

    Looking for £125. Would prefer collection on this due to its size but I am willing to post if needed.

     

    Any questions just drop me a message or reply.

  5. So it is possible to get a very power efficient esxi box. Interesting. With the 24 port card and some serious tweaking I have managed to get down to 78w idle. I still think I can get it lower but for now that will do.

     

    I like the idea of the esxi gaming rig. I think I might have a go at something similar. I am thinking 4x HTPC VMs, one to each room of the house. Providing I can find either 4 pciex8 hdmi cards or pcie16 cards that will run suitably at x8.
