Sorry after dismantled the server right after I confirm that the new PSU is dead. Understand that it is vague without a video example. But can I find out if A electricity monitor can blow a PSU? A faulty motherboard can blow a PSU? A faulty graphic card can blow a PSU?

Hi everyone I'm in need of some help to identify what is my hardware prob here. I have a china x99 motherboard with xeon E5 cpu Running unraid for months without any problem Just last week, my flat had a power trip, after recovering the power supply to my flat. The unraid server is dead. I couldnt get it to boot. After some quick test, I suspect is the PSU that probably caused the power trip. I replaced the PSU with a new Seasonic PSU. While assembling back my server with the new PSU I have frequently test the PSU whether it is able to boot, and it worked. After I fully assembled the server, and turned the server on with a electrical monitor (attached). The server booted. But after I turn off the power and restart the server. The server is unable to boot. Similar test was done, and I suspect the PSU died again. The following components I'm suspecting could be the cause - electricity monitor - motherboard May i know what is likely the cause? I lack the basic knowledge on hardware and electrical compoenents What can cause a new PSU to breakdown this way?

So which disk should I access? Parity? I have more than 2 storage disks and 1 parity disk

Hi My unraid server is down due to a broken motherboard or PSU. I am going to take a break from the hardware repair and want to have access to the files on the unraid server. How can I do that, if I have another windows desktop to plug this disk to? Thanks.

I think the motherboard just died on me, after trying to upgrade unraid's cache pool with a ssd, and some basic dust cleaning. The PC did power up, but onboard NIC and usb is not functioning. It lasted 335 days, it failed to reach my expected ROI of 2 to 3 years. *Sad Like to ask for tips on diagnosing the issue Onboard USB is not powering my usb keyboard on boot Onboard NIC is not working, (no orange or green LED) PCIe NIC is not working, (no orange or green LED) Ping test to unraid static address is not reachable CPU fan is spinning (visual) 2x PCIe graphic card fan is spinning (visual) From the above observation, could the motherboard be still alive?

Hi guys I have a Chinese made x99 board using xeon E5 2678v3 with 32 Gb ram running unraid server I have been trying to multiple vms and concluded that all vms I'm running is not performing correctly, the performance is just too bad for a vm. vm configuration that I have tested. Windows 10 pro 4 and 8 cores 8 gb ram GTX 750 ti passthrough Using default /mnt/users/domain for vm image store My cache drive is a wd 1tb hdd I have tried using Ubuntu and Kali before and both is having similar experience One such experience is for example. Freshly installed windows 10, install a chrome, and open YouTube to watch a video with direct hdmi video and audio output. I can experience choppy video and audio while it plays. Seeking help, please guide me along on what information to provide? Thanks.

Hi @kasuke I'm not really sure whether it is worth it. I'm have not used the brand mentioned in the link, the panshi brand that I have gotten also seems to be less known within the Chinese market too, in comparison to huanan shown on gamer nexus. But if you ask me if I will pay the price listed there for the board. I think it might not be the lowest in price. I search on taobao.com (i am able to read Chinese), there is a similar product, https://m.tb.cn/h.4atdBSW?sm=88b8a1 - it is just a main board, but I believe if u topup for the remaining components to match the spec, it should be lower in price. Hope it helps.

Hi @Reflexion sorry I think I'm unable to provide that test result. I'm short of a electricity meter for the test.

Hi @Reflexion I am relatively new to unraid, and do not know how to grab the information you needed. Do let me know what is the best way to achieve idle, and how do I grab the power consumption? Also do advice on how to create load for the test, previously i can create a decent spike just be running clamav on my 4 core core i5, but i don't it will work now. Thanks.

Hi all I have been using a old core i5 2500 cpu with a gigabyte ud3xp motherboard, 16gb ddr3 with unraid for 10 months. It is a decent system, however the lack of cores in 2500, limits me from running more vm or docker containers. I am not willing to spend more money to setup a brand new system such as a threadripper system, eventually a personal hobby will need to find a balance. I am a frequent online shopper for China products, and one thing good in Chinese e commerce sites, is their wide varieties of affordable computer components you can find. Below is a system I bought X99-D4 Panshi Motherboard Xeon E5 2678 v3 32gb Samsung ECC DDR4 RAM Topup with a cpu fan. For about 260 usd The upgrading process is a breeze. And moving unraid to this system is pretty straightforward. There isn't a need to even map the correct parity, data or cache drive. The system is now 2 weeks old, and I hope it will last me for the next 2 to 3 years. I'm not familiar with hardware stuffs such as vrm or how to determine reliability, but I'm happy to get a past generation 12c/24t system for this price. Just to share this with other hobbyists that is looking to setup a more powerful home server at a budget. To understand more about Chinese x99 boards, you can refer to the following 2 links.

Hi I am running an official gitlab-ee container from https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ee with -v /mnt/user/containerspace/gitlab-data:/var/opt/gitlab the gitlab container on startup will create multiple application folder within /var/opt/gitlab, for each of its component example redis, and postgresql in each of these folders, while the gitlab container is running, there are some sock files created, example /var/opt/gitlab/redis/redis.socket. Everytime when my scheduled mover is trigger, the running container will break and go into a 502 situtation. To recover from it, the workaround is for me to stop the gitlab container. forced a mover activity, after ensuring /mnt/user/containerspace/gitlab-data is fully on the array, start the container, and the container will resume it's normal operation, until the next scheduled mover task breaks it again. Is it possible for me to exclude certain files from being moved? example redis.socket or postgres5432.lock or is it possible for me to run this particular container right off the array disk?
