First of all thank you for this feature! So I've just seen Spaceinvader's video (thanks for you content btw). Anyone here doing the port forwarding on a PfSense router could confirm that this is right (I will change the port number though since I'm already using it for something else on the network). The rule as is works, but I'm not an expert in router science and not wanting to let all the world have fun with my data. Many thanks

SOLVED Well well, @JorgeB It seems you are my hero of the day! You got anything where i can tip you a drink? Thank you very much. It worked exactly as you said.

SOLVED I have no idea how I solved it but here is what happened: I created a new usb stick with 6.9.1 on it. Copied all the config files from a backup of 6.8 on it. Restarted my server, selected the new boot drive and restarted. Then the server booted from the old (non functioning one) and... wel it suddely worked. Then proceded to upgrade it to 6.9.1 and everything is fine since. Thanks for your help!

Hello. So I made an oopsie yesterday 😰 and I am in need of your help. I wanted to install a new graphics card in my server. In order to do so I've had to move my cache SSDs (there is four of them mounted in a ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Card) to make room for the GPU Fyi: these cards work if you split an 16x PCIe lane into 4x4x4x4x in the motherboard bios. I did not remember this when I moved the card with the SSD. So when I turned my server back on, the cache wasn't working (unmountable) since it recognised only 1 of the SSD as the PCIe was in x16 mode. So I tuned my server back off and went into the bios to transform the lane where it sits on from 16x to 4x4x4x4x. Then back into unraid. Now it sees all of my cache drives but only assigns automatically cache n°4 into the cache pool (the disk that was recognised when in 16x mode). If I put them manually in my cache pool, it says that as soon as I start the array, it will erase the data on the drives. And... you guessed it.... I would like to avoid that. Is there any way of rebuilding my cache array without erasing all it's content. This array is a btrfs raid5. Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone So I just upgraded my server to Unraid OS 6.9. Everything worked fine during the upgrade, no hickups. But now when I try to connect to the GUI through a mac via google chrome (with the xxx.unraid.net address) I get the error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN So I went to my router and I've seen that my server is indeed connected with it's fixed DHCP lease (defined in my router) as 192.168.1.9 Then I went to the console (screen, keyboard and mouse connected to my server) and also saw that the server is connected to the correct ip. By the way I can still access all my shares from the network. So I then decided to reboot to go into GUI mode on the server directly. And then, after selecting Unraid OS GUI mode, while loading it freezes. See attached image. So then I tried flushing the DNS cache on my router, on my browser and on my mac. And then tried to connect to the GUI again via chrome to no avail. Any idea what I can do? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the tip! I'l be in contact with him to see if he can swap the controller with another IT HBA one. I'll also ask him if he can swap the psu with a PWS-920p-sq. It seems those are much more quiet. Is the SAS-846A backplane alright? I read here and there that there might be some limitation to the number of drive?

Hello everyone. I'm looking at expanding my NAS (a seagate 4bay nas populated with two 4TB HDD in Raid 1) as it's soon full. Here are the function i need from my NAS: - I use my NAS as my main storage/backup solution. - There are mac and windows files on it (also a Timemachine). - The NAS is backed up on my Google drive. - The NAS is accessile from anywhere over the internet and I can browse the files and download them. - I can create download links for specific files on te NAS and share them with others. Buying two other 4TB HDD would cost me a little less than 300$. So that's my initial budget. I am also pretty sure that my storage usage is, during the following years, going to increase. To about 1-2 TB per year (until now I've filled 4TB in 6 years). I already own a rackcabinet for various other apparels. Pro-grade server chassis aren't an issue to me. As a long time LTT youtube subscriber I've always wanted to take the "unraid plunge" seeing what Linus and his team are doing with it. So I did a little research on the subject and on the hardware side of things. And I found what seems to me to be a great deal. I found a "Supermicro SC846 24x SATA Storage Server" up for sale at 150$ Here is the list of components: - Motherboard Supermicro X7DBE+ - CPU 1 Intel Xeon E5410, 4x 2.33GHz, 1333Mhz FSB, 12MB Cache - CPU 2 - empty - - RAM 16GB ECC DDR2 FB RAM (4x 4GB), - 24x HDD Trays, SAS/SATA SAS846A BPN-SAS-846A 6G Backplane - Controler 3Ware 9650SE-24ML SATA II RAID Controller, PCI-E, 24port, incl. BBU - Rack rails - 2 x PWS-902-1R (900W), redundant PSU The seller is also able to add a second CPU+heatsink for 30$, and 12 sticks or less of 4gb RAM at 10$ per stick. I also scrapped 10 x 1TB drives of old PC builds that are lying around that I could throw in for free. I also would like to make this chassis as silent as possible. For this endeavour, I've thought of replacing the 5 stock fans with 5 NF-R8 redux-1800 PWM (16$/unit, 80$ total). And also replace the passive CPU cooler with the NH-U12DX i4 (80$). Summary: 150$ for the server 80$ for the fans 0$ for 18TB of HDD 80$ for the CPU cooler 129$ for the Unraid license 439$ Total (+150$ eventually for the full populated motherboard) First of all, does this seem doable? What about those redundant PSU, are they noisy? Should I swap their fans too? Is one CPU going to be enough for my application? Or should I buy the second? Is 16gigs of RAM enough? Or should I fill up per CPU? Is the CPU cooler going to fit on the LGA771 socket? Or should I look for the older version: NH-U12DX? Thanks for your time and help.
