  1. NVM, my flash drive was dying soooo that was probably the problem
  2. Very interested to see the results. I am also having this same issue going on with my server. It wasn't until this version that it slowly started on the downturn. I have removed any newer plugins. But I will admit that my check common problems is not pretty but it has been that way since the beginning so not to worried about that lol. So i disabled my plugins and started in safe mode. When in safe mode most all tabs work until i click dashboard and then we are in the same situation again... sephiroth-diagnostics-20240211-2109.zip
  3. yes, this i understand, thank you for your reply. I am adding a blank 6tb to my array. This means for the first 4tb or so it will have the most space. Which is where the problem lies.
  4. Good Evening fellow Unraid friends, I am thinking of adding a 6tb new drive to my array. Currently running 2x3tb, 1x4tb. Running a 6tb parity and 240gb ssd cache My question is I run a media server in my house and do not wish the new data to be bogged onto one disk. We may have as many as 4 streams going inside the house all watching different content. However, I dont want the new media being lumped onto one as i imagine that would be the most likely to be watched. Is there a way to balance the data across all drives and then clean any fragmentation caused and or is this worth it?
  5. Additionally, I swapped the stock phanteks case fan and hyper 212 fans out for noctuas and dropped 12db on the overall sound coming from the server. Both measurements taken 6in above center of server case AVG before 45ish AVG after 33ish Ordered a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD, to finally connect my server via UPS.
  6. Just got over some hurdles with my unraid server but here is the build. Dual Xeon 4650s Hyper 212 evo cooling 64gb ecc 1066 ddr3 ram (64gb more in reserve) 128gb ecc 1066 ddr3 ram ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16 mobo 2x 3TB HGST Deskstar *(Due to 8 year running service life) 1x 4TB HGST Deskstar 1x 6TB Seagate IronWolf (Parity) 1x 8TB Seagate IronWolf 1x 8TB Seagate IronWolf (Parity) 1x 250gb Crucial Mx500 (Cache) Phanteks Enthoo pro case Evga supernova 1000w gold standard San Disc usb drive Primary use is currently plex. Installing a VM as we speak to attempt to run a 7 days to die server for myself and some friends. Suggestions? I have the domains share set to Cache only as well for those wondering.
  7. Alrighty, so that totally worked just fine. Thank you Johnnie.Black for the grate insight.
  8. Currently 3% further than any previous attempt. ~8 hours left
  9. Current diagnostics after reboot and starting parity rebuild sephiroth-diagnostics-20190106-1219.zip
  10. Oh crap, thanks, I did not read that. I will switch them to the blue ports and post an update.
  11. Thanks for the reply sephiroth-diagnostics-20190105-2113.zip
  12. So now you have network connectivity? I ran into a similar issue and ended up stemming from an incorrect system time in the motherboard bios.
  13. I am going to try and form this long story into short story form. I upgraded my server to below specs: Dual Xeon 4650s Hyper 212 evo cooling 64gb ecc 1066 ddr3 ram ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16 mobo Phanteks Enthoo pro case Evga supernova 1000w gold standard usb drive Anyways, had network connection issues upon start. The classic eth0 interface is down. Worked on some solutions there by deleting network.conf file and such. Ended up being a bad system time on the motherboard. Unfortunately, in the process, and not thinking I erased my usb and lost my config for my server. I have done this before and rebooted fresh with 0 issues. The case is not so this time. My parity now refuses to sync with one of my Hdds in particular. I have tried swapping sata cables and booting the server up without the drive which causes the issue but when i add it back in my parity hits the 25% mark and begins failing after about 300 errors found on this drive. What information can i provide that can help diagnose the issue.
  14. Update: Swapped my USB back to 2.0 at the suggestion to do so. Swapped the cpu for a quad-core a8-5500 (Much better cpu overhead) Currently working to get the Mellanox sfp+ as NIC
  15. Thanks for the information. My BIOS is currently set to only use the USB as the boot, but you never know. 😀
  16. Well, given the issues, would i be able to shutdown my server and swap my usb back to USB2 with no errors finding the flash drive on there or affecting my install config?
  17. Is this an ongoing issue with using an internal header for usb3 or is it all usb3 ports in general? I have only had mine up for a week thus far, but no issues
  18. I figured that i had an open usb 3.0 header so i used the following cable + san disk drive https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PODI1W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 instead of https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815201028 I know that most will say it doesnt generally make a difference but i was updating the build so no harm, correct?
  19. So this is where I rant and rave about how much better this is than FreeNas, XigmaNas correct? Well I ran an early version of XigmaNas (Nas4Free) for 5 years after initial setup. When I went to update it was such a pain that it just killed me. Admittedly, I became interested after all the talk from LTT and looked into it. I backed up my date to my only other drive large enough to accomodate my files and made the jump. Of course i updated my internal USB header from 2.0 to 3.0 and drive as well. Upgraded my CPU cooler to one rated for 125w on my 65w cpu. New rear fan and a heavy dusting. Removed my old "clicky" WD greens and kept my HGSTs. The ease of setup was wonderful and i very easily used docker for my Plex server and my performance on that side has never been better. I did some initial tests and most transfers are around 20%+ faster than previous OS. Will post speed tests on 1Gb and 10Gb connections shortly. OS: unRAID 6.5.3 Basic CPU: AMD apu a6-5400 (Dual-Core) - swapping to a8-5500 (Quad-core) Motherboard: MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 RAM: 8GB DDR3 Case: Logisys CS305BK - (Looking for Alternative) Drive Cage: Built-in Power Supply: Corsair cs500 NICs: 1 Intel EXPI9301CT 1Gb 1 HP 10GB Single Port Mellanox Connectx-2 10Gbe Cables: Cable Matters Sata - Internal USB 3.0 MotherBoard Adapter Cable Other: Parity Drive: 4TB HGST Deskstar 7200RPM Data Drive 2x 3TB HGST Deskstar 7200RPM Cache Drive: Crucial MX500 240GB Total Capacity: 12 Drives Primary Use: Data Storage, streaming of Video and music across my 10Gigabit Network, and PLEX Server Likes: Ease of use for Unraid Dislikes: My case (lol) I'm thinking of adding Drive Cages. ToDO: Other than adding additional drives I think I'm good to go. Future thoughts: Upgrading to a supermicro server board with dual xeon e5-4640 and 64GB ddr3 ecc ram...
