  1. Hi Guys. I had a spin with UnRaid a few years ago. I did not have the best of times with it but that could have been down to my hardware. Anyway I am in the process or building a 14TB box using proper and correct server based components. I just want to see if things have moved on and if UnRaid is the product for me. I am looking at FreeNas as well. My setup will used this thus: 2TB needed for VMware ESXi datastore and would like to use iSCSI rather than NFS. - Is this possible? The rest of the storage space to be used for movies, pictures, backups for the VM's Are there any streaming plugsins that XBMC or Plex? Any DLNA support? Will post any others as i find them. Thanks in advance.
  2. any news on whats up with it running on beta 13? Thanks again for your work on this, i really look forward to using it. Craig
  3. Thanks for the reply. I am running version 5 beta 13. Cheers Craig
  4. Hello. I have installed curl from the list of dependencies but when i try to install Transmission i am told the following Required dependency, curl-7.21.4-i486-1.txz, has not been installed. Please install it before installing pyLoad. You can install the package Here Any ideas?
  5. Hello. I know the title says 4.7 but will this work with 5 Beta 13? Many thanks
  6. I'm rather rusty and there are a few things in your syslog I haven't seen before, and I don't know anything about your previous network issues, so my comments may or may not be helpful. The "link up" messages are not errors, just an indication of a connection (or reconnection) to the physical network. There are a batch of these messages late in your syslog that do seem odd, in that they have no corresponding "link down" message, but I don't know the significance. They seem harmless, but the network driver may be a bit confused. That is just the manual command to the Cache drive to spin down. It is not an array drive, so spin down is handled differently. Completely normal. Hello. Just my 2p and may not be any use. What type of switch do you have that your are plugged in to? I have seen messages like that on other systems when the network port is flapping, ie coming up and down. Sometimes this is due to a speed and duplex issues between the device and the switch. Just a thought.
  7. Perfect. I am buying a Macbook in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for creating this. Craig
  8. Am i missing something? I have this setup and have imported my video library. if i use my iPhone i can play the video but from windows nothing at all. I select the movie hit return and nothing happens. Any ideas?
  9. Thanks guys. I am not sure if it can surf cifs smb but will find out on Sunday when it arrives. Will report back
  10. are there any step by step install notes for this? I have unMenu but cant see it listed as application to install Thanks in advance
  11. Hi guys. I have searched the forums for DLNA and while there is info out there i am confused if its still current. I have just purchased a Samsung 51" 1080p 3D Plasma which comes with DLNA. Perfect. I have all my movies on my unRaid box in various formats, MKV, VOB, AVI etc. I would like to connect my Samsung to unRaid. From what i have seen from searching there are a few options. minidlna , ps3mediacenter etc. However the forum notes said that minidlna was under unMenu but i cant see it in the packages which makes me think some of the posts are not vaild anymore. So does anyone have any up to date information. I would really like my unRaid to be my DLNA server. What are the best options out there for me to look at and try? Many thanks in advance
  12. Im going to watch this thread. My Beta 13 rig seems to be quite happy right now and i dont want to play with her just yet. I do use NFS for ESXi so having NFS support is critical to me using the product. The only thing that would make me switch it off is iSCSI. However here is hoping Beta 14 works out for you guys. Would like to upgrade but think i will sit tight. Craig

    CrashPlan

    Guys. I am very tempted by CrashPlan. I would be looking to backup to unRaid and then unRaid up to CrashPlan. I am interested in other that are using the product. If i am backing up to unRaid and then unRaid to CrashPlan do i just need a licence for the unRaid box or do all of my machines that backup to unRaid need a licence? Also i back my ESXi guests up to unRaid so will i be able have them sent off to CrashPlan? May have other questions but that should get me started
  14. Whats the deal with this? If you are backing everything up to unRaid do you only need a single licence?
  15. Guys. Are these two messages anything to worry about Nov 3 00:05:12 Apu mountd[1687]: Kernel does not have pseudo root support. Nov 3 00:05:12 Apu mountd[1687]: NFS v4 mounts will be disabled unless fsid=0
  16. Ok so i have checked my BISO and i cant see anything that i can set to do with memory or power. Apart from how fast my fan goes LOL. I also performed a checkdisk on my USB key in windows as i was getting lots of errors on start up. This seems to have fixed the boot up stuff. But i am sure that my crash is going to come back as somepoint.
  17. Hello. I will check my BIOS and see if anything stands out. I am sure when i last looked there was nothing i could set to do with memory. Also i dont have a cache drive yet. Should i still disable this?
  18. my unRaid will crash with and without addons installed. Are you seeing something that would suggest addons are an issue?
  19. My Beta 13 crashed again. Please see link http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=16745.0
  20. And here is a Syslog from when my machine started up Syslog.txt
  21. Also i got this message when i rebooted. I had to reboot twice for the system to come back
  22. Hi guys. So i have been having some issues with B13. Anyway i started to copy up a guest from my ESXi server and it locked unRaid up. I could not use the web gui but i could get to unMenu. I have managed to get a sys log before i HAD to reboot the box. Can anyone spot anything from the log? syslog-2011-11-21.txt
  23. Hmm, but I don't think this will fix the NFS issue (Streaming BD) we have with our mediaplayers. //Peter Poss not mate to be fair.
  24. I am testing some changes to ESxi to do with NFS and so far i have 3 guests running off unRaid and has been stable for nearly 24 hours. I am going to give it a few more days and move another one or two guests over. If it proves to be stable then i will post up the tweak to Esxi so the community has this info also.
