  1. The only time i've had issues with the USB not working has been when i've added an additional card to the system (the P2000). Otherwise, the system has run flawlessly for the past 18 months. So i'm not sure if the BIOS would be the cause of the problem. My only concern with updating the BIOS would be the system bricking or causing some new issue. I don't want to try to update the BIOS unless that's definitely the problem - if the system bricks etc. then it's down until I fix it, track down any new issues or replace the system.
  2. Hi All, Hopefully your able to assist. My current build consists of: Motherboard: MSI B350 Mortar Arctic CPU: Ryzen 2400G RAM: 24GB DDR4 RAM (2666Mhz) - I'm aware that Ryzen prefers faster RAM but I've had zero issues so far. HBA Card: LSI 9211-8i SAS Card HDDs: 7 for Array, 1 for Parity, 2 for SSD Cache all connected to HBA The Problem: I purchased a Quadro P2000 to add to my build to increase the number of transcodes i'm able to do, as the majority of my playing is done off site now that i've moved house. When I added the drive into a free PCIE slot on the motherboard, I can't get the system to load properly. It boots and starts loading Unraid but then all the USB ports stop working and it doesn't fully load Unraid. I've tried switching which PCIE slot the P2000 and HBA are plugged into and this doesn't help. The Solution: Through some browsing online, I believe this may be due to not enough PCIE lanes available from the 2400G? I don't know if that's right though. If that's the case, then it would mean an upgrade to a different CPU/Motherbaord combo. Any feedback would be great. If I don't need to go and spend a bunch of money on new parts that's great. If I do, then cool - new upgrade time

  4. This is what i'm more leaning towards. Simply for the fact that if I need to take the server offline (upgrade drives, install new parts etc.) then i'm taking the internet down. If a part fails and the server is down for a few days then i have to reconfigure the network to keep the internet up.
  5. Correct. Forgot to add that into original post. Now edited. lsi 9211-8i with 2 x SATA breakout cables.
  6. I've begun my journey into unRAID and wanted to document my progress and learning. I have used Windows/MacOS over the years but haven't really touch linux. My previous server was an i5-760 with 8GB RAM and some random drives thrown added each time I ran out of space. No backup, no redundancy. New build consists of the following: Case: Fractal Design R5 Motherboard: MSI Arctic Mortar B350 CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G CPU Cooler: Stock zen cooler RAM: Crucial 2133Mhz DDR4 24GB (3x8GB) PSU: Corsair 650W Modular SAS Card: lsi 9211-8i flashed to IT mode Cache Pool: 2 x 250GB Samsung 860 Evo in Raid 0 Parity Drive: 8TB Seagate Ironwolf Data Drives: 8TB Seagate Ironwolf 4TB Seagate Ironwolf 4TB Seagate Ironwolf 2TB WD Drive (with over 5500 hours uptime) 2TB WD Drive (with over 5500 hours uptime) Array Size: 20TB Current Usage: 6.8TB Pictures: to be uploaded Docker Containers: Plex Tuatulli Ombi Sabnzbd Sonarr Radarr delugevpn (with Sonarr and Radarr pointing to the PIA proxy) LazyLibrarian calibre rdp Krusader Plugins: to be updated Things to be done: Get Ombi to work correctly via app. Can't work it out. have posted in the support thread Would love to get lazylibrarian working but it just doesn't seem to find books Learn other new things. Still debating whether I run pfsense in a VM or a seperate box Need to purchase a UPS (unsure of which one) Post will be updated tonight when I get home from work...
  7. I know this has been asked before...but Ombi URL... what am I putting here so that I can access through the app outside of the network?
  8. Ended up following the steps in the top comment on this post and it all imported easily. I'm going to set up trakt.tv at some point soon so that I have that safety net just in case.
  9. Hi all, I'm trying to work out how to move my plex watched status from my old Windows 10 based server to my new Unraid server. How do I go about this? Through searching I have found this method but I'm unsure how to run this on the Unraid server. There is also another method but again, unsure how this runs on Unraid. There has been mention of trakt.tv plugin etc but not sure if that's an option? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
