[quotas?]

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.

[Where is the Roadmap?]

please give us P+Q

 

This. Many other fileservers have this now, see freenas, snapraid. To be honest with hard drives getting as big as they are this is becoming an essential feature. I have replaced two drives recently due to failures. I had to grit my teeth through the 15 hr rebuild of 3 TB without any additional protection. This is the main reason I am considering jumping ship to snapraid.

 

I could care less about features like cache pools. Sorry. Hard drives are fast enough nowadays anyway..I can write to my array at 40 MB/s. I don't even use a cache drive any longer.

 

This. I will have only 5 drives starting coming weekend but expanding beyond 5 i'd want the comfort of P+Q already as well. I've had 2 disks fail in the last year out of 4 new ones purchased. Luckily neither were part of my unraid server..  In my view this feature should be on the top spot in the roadmap. (Not a paying customer yet with 3 disks but getting pro 2-pack somewhere this week as i've been very happy with my unraid setup )

 

These new bigger drives may be put together much better then past drives but the mechanical parts are smaller as well with higher data storage densities. They're clearly more prone to failure.

 

Question to Tom: Is the roadmap up to date? E.g. >2TB support is still showing as open under 5.0 Beta 4 though implemented ages ago (?).
