    Thanks! Could use it right now though but have to wait then.

    Hi, is there a version of DiskSpeed that works in unraid 6.4.0?
  3. dikkiedirk
    Thanks, it is formatted now.

    Hi, I like to format a newly precleared 8 TB disk which shows as precleard FS under unassigned devices. There is a format button but it is greyed out and pressing it doesn't do anything. How can format it? I then like to copy over data from 2 4 TB disk and use these disks in a RAD0 volume for parity. I don't have an 8 TB parity disk yet.

    thanks for fast response. I try poweroff then. Is it the same syntax?
  6. dikkiedirk
    Is the powerdown command no longer available? I tried to powerdown from CLI but got bash: powerdown not found on my server that I just updated from 6.3.5.

    I will have to find a way to mount the expander in my supermicro chassis. I almost wish there were some non-functional bare low profile pcie cards that I could use as a carrier for the expander. I have at least 4 free pci-e slots in the chassis. Do you know of any sff 8087 cables with 90 degree angled connectors?
  9. dikkiedirk
    Are you using a 360 expander too? Can you provide more details in what system and how you mounted the expander? Got any pics?
  10. dikkiedirk
    Is it easy to flash such a card to IT mode? That will be necessary won't it?

    Thanks, the controller will fit nicely in a PCI-E 3.0 x8 slot on my E5-2670 motherboard I hope. The RES2CV360 will be hooked up with 6 SFF8087 cables to a Supermicro SAS846A backplane without expander chips. Hope that will work. I can get the 9217/9207-8i for 89 Euros incl P&P here in Europe.
  12. dikkiedirk
    Is this strictly a PCI-E limitation? Will an M1015 perform better? Can the 9207-8i be bought below 100 USD. I see some from China and Hongkong, but don't in those are legit. I am in the Netherlands BTW. Would the Dell GTP9G LSI SAS9217-8i 9207-8i RAID/HBA be an option. It are server pulls and the seller is offering it with IR or IT firmware and FH or HH bracket. like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-SAS-9217-8i-GTP9G-PCI-Express-x8-6Gbps-8-port-SAS-SATA-RAID-Card-/202138468480?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c4

    ok, thanks. one H310 will have to do at first.
  14. dikkiedirk
    Thanks Johnnie, does using the H310 hurt performance much? I have them lying around. Will using 2 of them, each with one cable help?
  15. dikkiedirk
    Is the Intel RES2CV360 any good for use with a 24 disk array. Which HBA offer best bandwith and speed when connected with 2 SFF 8087 cables, will the Dell Perc H310 do? Or should I go with an Intel RES2SV240?

    Be prepared to change the power supply of that Supermicros chassis. They might be loud. The whole chassis might get loud when fans start spinning.
  17. dikkiedirk
    Thanks, never looked at it that way. Might also consider doing so. Especially an 8TB disk takes a long time to preclear and I wasn't looking forward to that?.
  18. dikkiedirk
    What is the best and possibly quickest way to preclear an 8TB disk? Is the plugin version working reliable in unraid 6.3.5 or 6.4? Or should I rely on the cli version if it still works at least. Should I do 3 passes an which script is the quickest and most reliable? I will upgrade my parity disk to 8TB first. Have there been any upgrades to the preclear plugin and scripts to make them more reliable? Is it possible to use the Free trial version of unraid to Preclear some disks?
  19. dikkiedirk
    Thanks, I need low profile. Might have to go for an m-sata adapter then. Hope those are available.
  20. dikkiedirk
    Does any of you know if there are adapters available that take one or two 2.5" drives and mount it in an unused low profile PCIE slot?
  21. dikkiedirk
    What exactly does the message Reboot will activate a clean system reset mean? I have been fooling around with a controller that has the parity attached, after which I started a parity check which seemed to run ok, but was cancelled by me. What exactly triggers the earlier mentioned message?The server runs 6.3.5.

    Asus and Intel motherboards can work with an IPMI add-in module. Supermicros IPMI seems less prone to iKVM stopping to work after a Java update than Asrock boards. This is mostly due to security issues. HPs ILO works very nice and has never failed on my Microserver Gen 8. Iam very happy with Supermicro motherboards and their support department. They respond fast.

    When I want to use a VPN service as protection against the prying eyes from the authorities when downloading with usenet or torrent clien how should it be set up? Does any computer, server or NAS be configured to use this VPN or should my router be configured to use this VPN and be done with it? Does it influence speed when browsing and downloading? What is the best service for use in the Netherlands/Europe?

    As far as I am concerned there will be scaled down version of unraid 64bit with docker function only, so no VM or other fancy stuff. I run my servers headless without the need for anything else but file-serving and downloading. In that case, 16 GB RAM will do nicely, thank you!

    thanks, I just googled it. shame on me, always asking. and its working. thanks!
