I am looking for a multi-purpose server/rig for 1080p vid footage as well as possibly having it run unRAID (haven't thought about VM setup yet) BUT does anyone else recommend this server for what I described above? It will run Ubuntu 10.04.3 and unRAID and plenty of VM's with WIN7 and WIN8 (developers) in it, heck maybe if I feel frisky I throw OS X in it BUT I know that's illegal. https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=22973347

I will need to do this when my first unRAID is complete. Thanks for posting this Tapatalk is tha shizzle

All u would do is change the setting in your rsync config so instead of it syncing data locally, it would sync remotely. The whole point is that your initial remote sync will only have to ensure the files are there versus doing all that data transfer remotely. Tapatalk is tha shizzle

It all boils down to users and permissions. I'm at the bar and would live to help but I'm sure with some googling you'll get it. I recall seeing someone mention a permissions fixer built in but that might not be in your version. I'll be back on Monday, if u don't solve it by then Tapatalk is tha shizzle

glad I could help! this community rocks as I saw others jump in! awesome

just so happened to run into a guy who has some jacks for me, just not going to be drilling the holes into my walls YET. THanks guys! Slow build and plenty of prep to ensure this first unRAID is the best!

Sounds like an install issue. You have your bios set to boot to the USB stick right? Depending how much time you've spent I'd just do a reinstall ensuring ALL hdd are plugged in before booting the stick and running unRAID. Someone who uses unRAID may be able to help as I'm still building my first server BUT 5+ years of Linux knowledge tells me a hdd wasn't where it is now (controller wise) when u first ran unRAID Tapatalk is tha shizzle

thanks for squishing down my answer and making it easier to read. I wasn't sure whether unRAID boroughs up eth1 or not Tapatalk is tha shizzle

bottom line I suppose u r right despite everything working like a dream in my 7 computer internal network I might as well re-terminate all the wires now before my unRAID server goes into the production environment Tapatalk is tha shizzle

not sure about the security implications of doing that and even if there is even any. Hopefully some process doesn't change ownership back to something else again. Im new to unRAID but 5+ years of self Ubuntu has very knowledgable about many things I'm noticing in unRAID due to it running on the Linux kernel. Tapatalk is tha shizzle

Cool, by any chance would you know if that works on OSX Darwin 8.8.2? running kernel 8.8.2? it's a seperate unrelated project of xbmc running on hacked apple tv 1. trying to ssh into my apple tv 1 which runs Darwin 8.8.2 and mount some NFS shares but I just am not familiar enough with OSX enough. I looked in the normal linux location for /etc/fstab to add my nfs mount info but that file isn't used by Darwin. Any help would be AWESOME!!!

Not sure about Ubuntu but I am able to share my OS X (Lion) folders with spaces via NFS and my PCH can access it to play videos from it. Since Lion's SMB server only shares via the newer v2.0 SMB spec that the PCH's Linux based OS is not compatible with presently, Lion users must either switch to NFS or manually install the Sambe Suite that Apple removed from Lion. ok, could you please post your config file for exporting your NFS shares from Lion? would be icing on the cake as I have never been able to figure it out. My current exports file on my headless server and obviously there are no shares with spaces cause I can't get it to work /var/lib/mythtv 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check) /media/500gb1 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

The root of the issue is who you're using to write the file from win7 to your unRAID server. Also possibly how u share out your unRAID shares. If your usernames aren't the same on your server and win7 boxes look into mapping users in your smb.conf file. Tapatalk is tha shizzle

k, will check it out. thanks

I am not sure if me soliciting members to sell me old hardware using paypal is acceptable. If it's not please remove this post. I have an older Asus P4P800-E Deluxe and I am currently collecting my older hardware which is strewn about my house to build my firs unRAID server. It will only be (3) 1TB hard drives, 1 TB parity. I can't seem to find the CPU I had bought originally with this board so I am in need of something. I know the Prescott CPU's got really hot with only a stock CPU fan so not sure if I want to go that route. I'd pay you thru paypal if that's acceptable

OMG, $37 dollars for RAM? I am litterally flat broke but $37 I can find by recylcing the mess of copper in my backyard and aluminum. I have not purchased hardware since the day the Core2Duo came out. Yes, long ago!!! SO I am still on DDRII. I might just pull the trigger on this despite NOT being able to use it, JUST YET. Who can vouche for Centon from a quality perspective? Thanks for any feedback.

LOL, funny how things like that get burned into our databanks but remembering to bring home milk cause the wife asked is easily forgotten. Anyway, can anyone speak on my transfer rates or speeds and for sure claim that my terminated cables are infact causing interference and slow downs in my SMB and NFS transfers? I would appreciate it.

Do these sound right OR should I re-terminate the wires correctly? IF I do a transfer over the SMB protocol I get about 8.5MB/sec and if I transfer over NFS I get around 20MB/sec

wget or wput should show progress of getting or saving a file onto the other computers over these "weirdly terminated" cat6 cables right?

made a post, didn't want to hijack this thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=17170.0

Recently in another thread I mentioned that my whole house is wired up with cat6 cabling where the installer merely ensured that the wire color ordering was the same at each end of the cable and NOT according to some industrial std. An unRAID member stated that it may work but there is possible interference which (IMO) could lead to decreased transfer speeds, packet loss, etc etc. Note also, there is NO jacks, it's merely the cable coming thru hole int he floor and straight into a switch/computer or device its connected to. THANKS My question, what is the tranfer speed/time i should see for transferring a 370mb avi file? This is over 100mbit NICs which are in full duplex and using NFS as the protocol, no special NFS options in the server export or client mounts. Should speeds/time it take be comparable to SMB (again no tweaked settings) protocol? Those are the 2 main ways I share media in my home over those "weirdly terminated" cables. Any estimates or rough estimates will basically either force me to realize that something is WRONG or that all is well with my cat6 connectors which are "specially" terminated according to what you're informing me of. Dont mean to hijack the thread but obviously this raises concerns for me.

bingbingbing. Spot on and where I was going with my next response. thanks for taking this one over!

i am going to guess its run by root but I could be wrong. to make sure you have sickbeard installed and running correctly did you follow this tutorial? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14212.0

awesome, exactly what I was looking for. This community is the best! Love the support. Hope I can pay it forward and help out others with 5+ years of linux server administration.

If the motherboard comes with a built in graphics card, personally "I" wouldn't waste money on the ATI card. You also don't say how many HDD's u r thinking bout using. Try to think about exandabilty in the future as well. Speaking in terms of SATA controllers on the MB of course. Tapatalk is tha shizzle
