Hi, Does anyone have any experience of installing a IPsec VPN client on unraid - I have a need to be able to connect to this sort of VPN for a work commitment and being able to do it from unraid would make it much easier to tunnel traffic over ssh... From googling it would appear that strongswan/openswan/libreswan (maybe I should just *swan) might be in order, but I'm not sure so wondered if anyone else had already done this that could guide me in the right direction! Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks Chris

Hey Squid Using 6.3 - Community Application Auto-Update wants to update, but when it tries it fails. It's trying to grab version "2017.06/09" I suspect you meant 2017.06.09 (which if you amend the wget command accordingly it does find.. Any chance you could update the plugin so I can grab it correctly? (and no it wont' auto-update now )

Well I thought that would save me the trouble of visiting my local San Antonio stores to find one then but obviously I'm in a different part of San Antonio to you Found some at North Rim and at La Cantera (well two fewer there as I've just bought 'em!)

Tried that - still no file being created.

Community Applications Auto Update, Plugin Section. Make a change to the schedule, any change and apply it. Problem will disappear I'm also suffering from this annoying email - and no matter what setting I change in the Auto Update section the updateApplications.sh file is *NOT* being created so I continue to receive the emails.. I've changed settings in each of the 4 sections (the Plugin Schedule part, the list of plugins, the Docker Schedule and the list of Dockers) - applying in between each one.. I have an updatePLG.sh but not updateApplications.sh in/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/community.applications/scripts ...

Apparently the 4x35 hotswap cage that would match the ones in the bottom does NOT fit in the top drive cage, whilst the cages are the same width I believe the mounting points don't line up There is a specific 8x2 hotswap cage that DOES fit (it has a different part number to the one that goes in the bottom). We *assume* that standard 4in3, 5in3 style cages would fit - but until someone tries it we won't know..

Which heatsinks are you using with that case? If you are using the P4000 chassis with the S2600CP motherboard you should be using http://www.ebay.com/itm/201082357765 alongwith the correct air shroud http://www.ebay.com/itm/381083917540 The baby passive heatsinks that come with the board from Natex are designed for 2U systems and not the P4000 chassis

In that case send me the link if you don't mind. PLEASE! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk http://www.ebay.com/itm/380990951500 I paid $40 for mine from here...

What firmware do you have flashed to the RS2WC080? If you left the MPT2BIOS enabled; do you see the drive ID LED (amber) light up when in the card's BIOS -> {adapter} -> SAS Topology -> Direct Attach Devices -> [select any of the drives & hit ENTER]; the Drive ID LED will start flashing on that slot. If you do, then this proves that the SGPIO is working. I have two of these P4000M chassis; each with (1) 8x3.5" & (1) 8x2.5" HSBP drive cages where each HSBP is connected to a RS2WC080 (two cards in each system) that's been cross-flashed with LSI 9211-8i IT FW, and the HD activity LED on all the drive slots work. I honestly hadn't run the cards with the stock FW... I cross-flashed with the LSI 9211-9i IT FW (P20) without the BIOS.. (followed your excellent instructions with no problems). I'll reflash it with the BIOS and try what you suggested.. EDIT - Reflashed with BIOS - Amber lights appear as you suggested.. What's more - NOW I have green flickering lights in Unraid too... I can live with the slightly slower boot time if that's all it takes

Hi, Is it possible for the Active Streams plugin to show which disk the file that is being accessed is on rather than just the share? It would be very useful to know which disk was being accessed (so I can see if it is worth moving commonly accessed files onto different disks to prevent thrashing for example) Additionally could we have it it available on the Dashboard page in place of the list of Shares? The list of shares doesn't really change but the list of active files on the Dashboard would be incredibly useful.. Thanks

Glad you are seeing the same ipmi output as me - I'll quit worrying about that one As for the drive lights - yes i probably did mean the i2c cable - the 3 wire one that connects from the lower right (looking from the back) corner of the backplane to the motherboard (over by the PCIe slot..). It's been connected since day 1 - 7 3.5" drives attached (4 different models) and not a single one shows a light.. I tried updating the FRU/BMC etc again today and no change. Does anyone else with this combo get the HDD led activity indicators (or not as the case maybe..)? NB: The HD indicator in the top 'status' panel lights up - just not the ones on the HS drive bays..

@jwegman ... Couple of questions to satisfy my curiousity.. With a S2600CP2J and a Intel P4308 case and a Intel RS2WC080.. 1. Should I see the HDD lights on the 3.5" hot-swap cages light up when they are being accessed (mine don't..). The 8x3.5" backplane is connected to the RS2WC080 (flashed to run in IT mode, no BIOS support). The SGPIO cable is connected to the motherboard. I'm using the proper intel AXXCBL650MSMS (ie mini-SAS to mini-SAS) cables between the RS2 and the HSBP.. 2. Using the nice IPMI plugin - if I run ipmi-fru I get FRU Inventory Device: Baseboard (ID 00h) FRU Chassis Type: Main Server Chassis FRU Chassis Part Number: TR2104 FRU Chassis Serial Number: FZUP2200381 FRU Chassis Custom Info: Rackable Systems Inc.

I'm guessing that the backplane for the drives? I've applied all the latest firmware/bios/fru updates as per your excellent instruction (so FRU is at v 1.11). I've found a c200_c600 enclosure management cabling guide and that seems to imply that I don't need the sgpio cable (as the mini-sas connectors contain that cabling) - is that the cause of the issue?

Is there any possibility of System Temperature being able to display temperatures for dual CPU setups? Or does it have to be setup manually (and have I just missed the instructions somehow :-) ) It would be nice if the System Stats also showed both CPU's - the details stats do, but the top section (which is the same as the original 'Info' popup doesn't)

Hey Jonnie, Old 5 was very dead - not recognised by BIOS most of the time or unRaid when the BIOS did find it.. SMART report for it on the one occasion at the end when I could run it was very very unhappy.. If the du is anything to go by the real disk is 'happier' - the emulated disk really wasn't playing ball with du Can I assign the new disk5 back into the array (so it's no longer emulated) and run reiserfsk on it? Any hints on the correct way of doing reiserfsk - I've not had to do it before.. If it repairs the filesystem enough I'll take my chances with the files that are on it - I know the drive itself is good (brandnew and precleared) Thanks for all the advice so far - most appreciated! Chris

Hmm, Doesn't look like is going to be quite as simple as I'd like. Removed Disk 5 from the array as you suggested and started the array - drive 5 shows up a 'X', but it is being emulated. Did the same du -hs * on /mnt/disk5 - and I get *more* (and different!) permission errors than I had before. So I'm thinking that rebuilding the drive now is going to make matters worse.. The original disk 5 was sent off today for a warranty repair - so at some point in a couple of weeks or so I'm going to have a spare 4Tb drive. I'm *wondering* whether my best course of action would be 'shrink' the array to parity + disk1-4, rebuild parity from scratch, wait until I get the new drive, add that to the array, mount the 'possibly half built but perfectly happy' disk 5 as an 'unassigned drive', copy whatever copies from it onto the array and accept my losses? That might result in less than 4Tb of lost files.. Although might I be left with files that copy ok, but actually aren't "all there"? If I wanted to do that (ie ditch drive 5 from the array), is that another 'New Config' (but don't say parity is ok)? Suggestions / Thoughts? EDIT: Or do I put the 'rebuilt' drive 5 back in, run a reiserfsck (?) and accept that as good as it gets and rebuild parity again?

Hi, Thanks for the advice.. Following and it all started out ok.. I got to 5) - started the array and Unraid thinks that disk 5 *IS* ok. From a telnet connection I can indeed see /mnt/disk5 and a du -hs * errors on with "permission denied" on about 20 files across 5 directories. Should I still stop the array, unassign disk 5 and start it again? Should at that point it be emulating drive 5 again? If I stop, add back drive 5 and start will it really think it's still valid? Not doing anything else until I know the best answer

Hi, I'm fearing the worst, but hoping for something salvageable... Unraid 6.1.9: I had a 5 disk array (+ parity + cache). (4Tb, 4Tb, 4Tb, 2Tb, 4Tb) + (4Tb + 750Gb) Drive 5 failed (SMART report shows reallocated sectors etc,etc) and was completely inaccessible - so I bought new replacement drive and popped it into the server. Unraid started rebuilding the drive - and it was all going perfectly when I left it (it had done just over 1Tb of the 4Tb). (I made sure none of the dockers were running and nothing else would have written to the array) I've just got back from work expecting to find that everything was perfect to find that the Parity drive was showing with a big red cross with lots of errors (lots of reads and *no* writes as you would expect during a disk rebuild). Shut it down and reseated the cables in the hope that I'd mislodged one whilst replacing the drive 5.. Unraid has restarted and can see the parity drive just fine - SMART report shows *ZERO* errors and in good health - so I suspect a simple cabling problem, although it obviously shows it with a big red X.. Drive 5 was still mid-rebuild.. and now shows as a orange triangle and as unmountable.. Is there anyway of telling Unraid that the Parity drive *is ok* and getting it to try and rebuild Disk 5 again - or have I just lost everything that was on it? Chris

Does it make any difference for your use case?, I think that for a home lab, more is better. It makes no difference to me - I went with the 64GB version before they reduced the price (although I did persuade them to refund me the difference due to some other issues). To be honest I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with my new beast as I just needed to replace an ageing HP N36L that was overheating with 7 drives in it.. The E5-2670's combo from Natex and a Intel P4308 case from the lovely suppliers on Ebay has made for a ridiculously powerful and stunningly cheap replacement. In time I may experiment with VMs and the like but for now mine will probably sit 95% idle to start with - so 128Gb RAM would be just overkill Chris

One small additional note for accurate comparison of prices Those two Natex packages have *different* RAM - not just different amounts. The 64Gb RAM is quicker/better RAM than that included in the 128Gb package - if that makes a difference to you. Chris

I *would* be very happy with my Natex combo... if they hadn't neglected to include the two processors undernearth the heatsinks :-) Quick phone call and they are on their way - great service (despite the little mistake) Combining that with the Intel P4308 cases from Ebay - I'm going to be a very happy camper soon.. Chris

Oh I'd forgotten all about that conversation - I vaguely remember following it at the time (my server was 5000 miles away from me so I couldn't upgrade to 6 at that time, so I've only just done it!). I can understand Tom/Jon's point of view that it means it's unprotected, but I guess I work on the principle that I *KNOW* that and don't need to know it as a warning.. Given the direction the conversation went last time, I guess I'm not going to see any traction this time either .. :-(

Hi, Could I suggest (if possible) that on the Shares tab in User Shares, that the 'Cache-Only' ones are either grouped together separately from 'Array shares', or use a different icon rather than the orange triangle. As we (or maybe just I) have a number of cache only shares for appdata, downloads etc, it's no longer as easy to see which shares 'mover' needs to run on - in case I want to kick it off manually for example. Whilst I know the orange triangle means you had unprotected files, that I designated the share as Cache Only sort implies that I know that and am happy with it... Just my 2c

I settled on the Cooler Master Cosmos II case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119252 as it fits 13 3.5" drives or 17 with a 5 in 3 cage. Plus I went with the ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16 mainboard and the CM case holds the SSI EEB format without any modification. However, this thing is HUGE!! It makes my HAF-X look tiny in comparison, and not exactly cheap, but well worth it IMO. I'd wondered about this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854004) one, and I'm well aware these will all be huge compared to what I'm used to (the rather svelte HP N36L!)

I'm getting dangerously close to putting down some $$ and starting to buy a new rig based around these babies.. Trouble is I haven't got anywhere that I could put a rack, or a rackmounted case - any other suggestions for decent cases that I should look at? I thinking of the Asrock motherboard with a pair of these Xeon's. I'll be migrating my current 7 drives into it and would like room for a few more (certainly unlikely to need the 14 odd that the motherboard supports). Oh and I'm looking to keep these cheap(ish) on the case front Thanks Chris

Hi neilt0, Please would you mind to explain where you have added the seventh drive inside the case? Thank you. I've got 7 drives in my N36L too 4 x 3.5" in the main drive bays 2 x 3.5" in the ODD bay 1 x 2.5" (750Gb cache) slimline hiding in the space underneath the ODD 6 of the 3.5" are 4TB, 1 still is a 2TB.
