Having the exact same issues with hikvision cameras and Unraid. The issue is basically with Hikvision but considering they haven't solved it in years, i doubt much progress will happen there. I've literally found hundreds of user postings on this issue. It's rather appalling Hikvision doesn't seem to care. These are not cheap cameras. Having "Quota" available in the Unraid build would help a lot already as i would be able to restrict a user/share by quota then.

Did anyone have any issues with stopping the array (after samba changes? Not sure if the samba changes were related) I've never had a unclean shutdown in <=Unraid 5.0 but with Unraid 6b3 i've had 2 unclean shutdowns this week when stopping the array in the GUI. The whole gui freezes, ssh logon freezes and even my sideband freezes. Did see a few no memory errors (i usually have 2 GB left so what on earth can suck 2GB+ memory in a go ?!).

I think you too are waiting for 6.0-beta4 with better USB passthrough support, see this. I think i'm good for now with my workaround. To reply to someone else as well whom passed through the entire USB controller/hub. I did indeed not try that, i only wanted to pass a specific port and didnt try the whole controller (As i got my unraid stick on it i didnt dare ) for now i ended up with the following build, i think Tom is onto something here...this took me ~2 days including custom kernel building and various application specific library issues vs. months of agony trying to make Unraid jump through flaming hoops. Was always wary of moving unraid to virtualization in the past as support was flaky. Xen/Unraid 6 Beta 3 - Storage - Oscam (Did not get usb passthrough to work in Xen so compiled oscam with smartreader support for Unraid) Ubuntu 13.10 (Kernel 3.13 Custom kernel for TV/HDHomerun) - dvbhdhomerun / userhdhomerun - TVHeadend - Plex Media Server - CIFS for Samba client capability TVHeadend and Plex connect to Unraid: - TVHeadend --> Oscam for decrypting - TVHeadend --> /mnt/cache/.Recordings for recordings. - Plex Media Server--> All major /mnt/user SMB shares (e.g. Movies, TV Series, Photos). Result: Heaven. No more b****** with Unraid custom compiles. For people who are interested..my frontend HTPC is now running XBMC (Win7) in which i combined my Plex libraries (PlexBMC)with XBMC's LiveTV from TVHeadend. (Yes, except for LiveTV i don't use any of the XBMC features as i love Plex more )

Anyone know if it's already possible to do USB passthrough? Running an Ubuntu 1310 installation + custom kernel (for TV). I have pretty much everything working now EXCEPT passthrough of my USB Smartreader (Smargo Smartreader V2). When i try xm usb-add <domain> <host:0403:6001> (my USB ID) i get the following error message: Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running? Also tried editing the .cfg for the image by adding usb=1 and the usb id but no dice there either. edit: using xm as i couldn't find any info on usb passthrough and xl edit2: Which seems to be because xl doesn't support it yet edit3: For now got it "solved" by compiling oscam for Unraid 6 itself..

My EZRX drives hit a LCC of 20.000 in ~69 days of active use. I consider this to be very high so i switched off head parking with intellipark (/d) all together. The first period i barely used the NAS, i think a lot of this was generated just in the last month. Also during the week my NAS is hardly used at all. With this i'd easilly rack up close to 200.000 LCC count per year i would say... I assume that parking still occurs after spinning down , shutting down, etc. From what i know, all WD Green drives with IntelliPark suffer from this "design decision". EDIT: Allthough i heard no strange sounds whatsoever, i also saw write to drop to 9-13mB/second. I've set my drives to S300 as well now. Write speed still seems lower with this, but acceptable. It doesn't make sense at all for this idle setting to affect performance negatively..but it seems it does. You'd expect the opposite..
