Ok will do!

Ok thanks for that, I hadn't noticed that it was still booting the flash drive as UEFI even in legacy mode! Memtest now running I'll let you know how it goes! Cheers, Tim

It crashes when selecting memtest! It says "Loading /memtest... ok and then reboots

Sorry no just crashes and reboots in legacy mode

Thought I'd try Memtest anyway just to make sure, but it won't load? It says Loading /memtest... ok and then does nothing?

Hi, thanks but no not overclocked.

So this morning I came down to find that the server had crashed in the night, wouldn't shut down and had to kill the power! I hate doing that! System is unstable it seems whenever I use Windows, it wasn't running last night, but took a long time to shut down yesterday! Probably should have rebooted Unraid then as it always has a problem after using windows VM. I never had anything like this much trouble when the server was running on Ubuntu and windows was in Virtualbox! I've attached diagnostics from this morning after reboot!

Hi, thanks, no I never run all three at the same time! PBX runs all the time and I boot into Windows or Ubuntu depending on need! I have the same PCI devices passed through to both so would cause an issue I think? Interestingly I never seem to get the same out of memory errors when using Ubuntu, but then I probably don't do as memory intensive things in Ubuntu! Cheers, Tim

Hi, thanks, yes I tried the swap file plug-in a few weeks back but it didn't help! In fact, it made it more unstable. I then discovered that plex was transcoding to RAM so switched it to the cache drive which fixed the issue with Unraid running out of RAM in normal use. (ie, when Windows isn't running) Ok thanks, hadn't thought about the overhead for emulation! When I'm running Windows the RAM usage seems to stay in the high eighties, at the moment its 88% and CPU stays between 10 and 20% so should be OK? I think it must be something with Windows but its only a problem when running as VM, the paging file is set to 24GB. Windows is on its own 250GB SSD so should have space to spare! If I boot directly into it baremetal then it's fine, yes I realise that it then has 16GB RAM to use. It's like Windows is ignoring the setting to use the swap file! This is my second attempt at running Windows 10 as a VM on Unraid, first go was using a virtual disk on the cache drive and this install had exactly the same problems. So for 2 fresh installs to do the same thing is why I think its an Unraid issue? Cheers, Tim

Hi, I will when I can afford it, my wife will do her nut if I spend any more on this machine! But It'll be a while as memory is nearly £100 for another 16GB! Cheers, Tim

As you can see from above I have some dockers running and yes I had the same issue with Plex, I fixed it by running auto backup every night, which gives me an up to date backup and restarts my dockers each night! Windows is on its own SSD through unassigned devices and has a DVD drive and 500GB hard drive on a passed through SATA controller, also have a USB3 and Firewire card passed through. When windows has this out of memory problem it generally won't shut down properly, so I have to force it. Then it won't restart without re-booting Unraid. Re-booted Unraid 4 times yesterday, hence my frustration. Thanks to anyone who can help, I really like the way Unraid works, the interface etc. so would much rather fix this and stay with it! Cheers, Tim

Hi, sorry everyone it was late and I was frustrated! I also thought I'd attached the diagnostics! So here they are and some screenshots to help! Thanks, Tim tower-diagnostics-20190520-1304.zip

I seem to have nothing but problems with Unraid and have never spent so much time on forums trying to work out what’s going on! It runs out of memory whenever I run a VM and crashes!! Unbelievable for a modern OS to run out of memory, I’ve never had this problem before! Not with Windows, MAC or Ubuntu. The worst of the 2 VM’s in question is windows 10. I’ve reduced the ram allocation to 8GB of the 16GB on the system so that Unraid itself doesn’t freeze! But Windows 10 remains unusable and has out of memory errors when ever I try to do anything major! I was trying to tag and add artwork to my music library and the tagging program crashes with out of memory error, I have the windows swap file now set to 24GB which makes no difference! If I boot into Windows directly it has no issues and all programs work as expected! Does Unraid have any memory management all because it seems like it doesn’t! So fed up with it I’m thinking of junking it and trying FreeNAS and demanding my money back as not fit for purpose! sorry for the rant, I just don’t think it’s acceptable to sell a system with such a fundamental flaw! It’s running latest version, 6.7.1rc1

Thanks for the explanation. I have done as you suggest and told the Mac not to create them! Cheers, Tim

Unraid smb set to hide dot files but windows still shows them?

My UNMS log file has now grown to 4GB!!! How do I stop this? In settings log rotation is set to 50MB!

That's it! Thank you! 😀

Hi, thanks, the docker is already in bridge mode?

Hi, I'm trying to get the Airplay Bridge plugin to work! Has anyone had any success? It seems to be installed and running but LMS can't see any players!

Ok will do. Give me a couple of days (if I play with it for much longer they'll be a divorce!) and I'll get back to you!

It's a shame that this doesn't work, there have been a few updates so I was hopeful but it seems worse than before! Daapd is just so unstable the most I've managed to get it to play is 2 tracks before crashing, now it only manages about 5 seconds! It's always greyed out in the remote app and needs a reboot every time I want to use it and I have to reboot for it to show up in iTunes! And now all the playlists have disappeared! It did use to happily play internet radio all day, but no more it just crashes before I have a chance to select airplay speakers! So frustrating because if it worked it would be perfect for my needs and stop me having to have my iMac permanently running with iTunes all the time! I guess the dev doesn't have the time to fix it and I wish I had the know how I'd then offer to help!

I can’t find a conf file? Is there a way to reset the admin account with out starting again? It’s annoying that ombi somehow messed itself up, and lost the log in for my admin account!

So do I need to start again?

Yes, I understand that and I can log into Plex and Tautulli fine with my Plex account just not Ombi?

Hi, I have a strange problem, I installed ombi and all seemed ok. I connected to Plex, Sonarr and Radarr ok and set up a couple of users (had to do this manually as it wouldn't import users from Plex!) It also, sort of loaded my films and TV shows although some were missing! Anyway, today I can't log-in with my admin account! It says incorrect user or password! If I try the password reset link it takes me to plex and I don't want to reset that! Anyone any ideas what to try? Cheers, Tim
