  1. Hello, I wanted to share a couple of observations about the 'Action Centre Enabled' notification. @Squid I presume the main intent of the yellow notification is to both draw attention to the fact that there are items that have available updates as well as the clickable left navigation 'Action Centre' item. The banner, in it's current location and behavior, has a good chance of detracting from this goal. 1. It's full width, at the very top of the page, and it is overlaying the page content. Banners of this type,more times than not are conveying something more significant than new functionality on a page area unless it provides more of a verbose description and may even have a clickable link in it to take the user to the new functionality. From an information architecture hierarchy perspective, it would be much more clear if the banner was shown under the App tab, and above the page content see mock below. Additionally, it would be better if it pushed the page content down so it wouldn't overlay and then pull it back up when it dismisses. 2. Since it is being shown every time the user navigates to the app page (while there are available updates), it once again is detracting from the overall goal of drawing attention to the Action Centre which is where the user can take care of these items. Frankly, my overall observation is that the banner is probably not the right UX tool to use in the first place. It seems the real intent is conveying that there are actionable items for the user to address in the Action Centre. This is already somewhat accomplished by the pulsing triangle/exclamation point icon in the left nav. It would be driven home even more effectively if the same icon showed up beside the 'App' tab in the top navigation (when there are items that require attention). This would act as a bread crumb of sorts prompting user exploration to find out what the icon is trying to convey. Once a user discovers the functionality, the job is done. After all, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Probably would need a better icon that would work on light or dark backgrounds...
  2. Thanks for this Rich. I'm running BigSur and noticed I couldn't move to /bin as you mentioned. I ran the mv command with /usr/local/bin and it appeared to work however I didn't yet have a bin folder in that location so it seems it moved the iperf3 tool there and renamed it to bin. Once I figured this out, I deleted it, created the bin directory and then ran the command again and it moved it as expected. Just thought I would mention this in case anyone else had the same experience.
  3. These instructions below effectively replace the method described above. They specifically describe steps to replace the usb drive before purchasing. I'm new to Unraid so i'm not sure if the flash backup was previously possible. https://wiki.unraid.net/UnRAID_6/Changing_The_Flash_Device
