Thanks - I checked and already have this here. I restarted both the Unraid server and the Windows PC and SMB access work. Fingers crossed it maintains over time- but it seems to continuously drop out/forget.

Loving unraid, but geez the SMB implementation is shocking. I can't for the life of me consistently access SMB shares on a basic local windows workgroup. WHY? ----SMB turned on ----Share turned on and access granted for user: media ----IP Address of server static ----RESULT WHY?

Thank you - this fixed the same issue for me. Appreciate the help!

I am building a machine with 36 drives, however just discovered arrays are limited to 30. And am wondering if the following setup/workflow is possible Setup Cache: 1 disk Pool: 5 disks (ZFS) Array: 30 disks (incl 2 parity) Workflow Step 1: New File Created on cache Step 2: When cache hits certain capacity, move to pool 2 Step 3: When pool 2 hits certain capacity, move to array Is this setup at all possible? If so - would there still only be one file structure? And all the movements would occur at the disk layer?

Trying to install UNRAID (6.12.3) for the first time, and get the following error "not found - press ENTER key to reboot" System detects the USB just fine- boots it, detects the device with UNRAID label (as SCSI?) then fails with no detail. This is on a bare metal Xeon W-1250, USB 2.0 connected to USB 2.0 port. Using Unraid USB Flash Creator with UEFI Any assistance would be great. Thanks

Hey everyone - recently started using Unraid after years of using bare Ubuntu Server and it's a refreshing change! Have a heap of containers running, reverse proxies via Cloudflare SSL and 2FA etc all running within a short period of time. Truly great stuff. Quick question though - how are people setting up their VM's to have secure remote access? I'd love to route my RDP via Reverse Proxy and 2FA but NPM (which I use for Reverse Proxy) only supports HTTP as far as I can tell?

The Nvidia mod won't allow you to use one GPU for multiple processes. Interesting. I could access the GUI from a mobile device, activate the VM that way? Would still need two GPU's though - one for Plex Transcoding and one for the VM

But how do I load the VM first without a dedicated GPU? If I have one GPU running the GUI, it won't let me load a VM using the same GPU. So whilst I could view the GUI via a browser in the VM running on the same machine, I could never get to that point in the first place?

Isn't it also where you manage all your containers? If I have a single machine at home, running unraid, dockers and VMS, I have to run the GUI. I can't run it headless.

Great thanks for the info. So if I'm running Unraid in GUI mode (it'll be on my main machine), then I'll technically need 3 GPU's. 1 for the Unraid GUI 1 for Windows 1 for Plex

Hey everyone Does Unraid support NVENC yet (hardware transcoding with NVIDIA GPUs)? My current setup is: AMD Ryzen 2700x NVIDIA Quadro P2000 I'm wanting to run Plex and associated dockers containers at the Unraid level, and also run a Windows VM for work etc. What I want to know is can I use the P2000 to do hardware transcoding with Plex and run my Windows VM simultaneously? Or do I need an additional GPU to run Windows. Thanks

Hey everyone New to unRAID here, and trying to learn how Cache and Mover works in relation to torrents and seeding. Where is the best place to download torrents to, and seed from on unRAID? I've thought about downloading/seeding from cache, but I don't understand what happens to files that are still downloading/seeding when the mover process occurs. And once the move is complete, will the Torrent client continue to seed automatically? So instead, I'm thinking something like this: 1. Download to Unassigned Drive 2. Once completed, Sonarr/Radarr copy the file to the final folder on the Array 3. Torrents remain seeding from the Unassigned Drive until seeding rules are met, they are then deleted by the Torrent client I've considered using the cache drive for Step 2, to speed up post-processing - but I could only do this if Sonarr/Radarr think the cache drive and the array are the same drive. Is this what User Shares does? Mirrors the folders on both cache and the array to look the same? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Because when I cold boot, I get 60MB/s writes, when I reboot I get 110MB/s writes. I still have the following lines in my GO config - which could explain why my writes are quicker upon reboot. echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold & logger Go Script - ondemand up_threshold set to 50 echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_down_factor & logger Go Script - ondemand sampling_down_factor set to 50 Ok thanks. Now that I know I can get 110MB/s write speeds upon reboot, I'm comfortable to spend money on a cache drive. Thanks for your help

Interesting. I deleted the Parity, reboot the system and now it is writing at 110MB/s Does the GO file load at startup, or only on reboot?

Hi @trurl Thanks for your help - its very much appreciated. I'll remove the parity, run the test again and re-post the syslog. Disk speeds seem to be OK when creating the Parity (150MB/s). If I used the same disk, should I expect the same write speeds to a non-parity array and a cache disk? I'm thinking of getting a 1TB SSD for the cache drive, but I'm concerned that there is another bottleneck (CPU?) causing the slow write speeds. I don't want to buy an SSD for cache, only to find I still get 60MB/s writes to the array.

Desktop PC connected to the same Gigabit Ethernet. OC Ryzen 2700x, 32GB 3200mhz, 512GB NVMe PCIE SSD Desktop reads off unRAID at 110MB/s no issues.

Sorry it was a bit confusing. My first test was done without any parity drive assigned. Write speeds direct to the array were 60MB/s My second test was done with a parity drive assigned and speeds were 40MB/s. My first test, getting 60MB/s without a parity drive, seemed low considering my reads were 110MB/s. My concern is if I purchase a cache drive, I'll only get 60MB/s as per my first test without parity. Or are write speeds to a cache drive quicker than when writing direct to an array without a parity drive?

Thanks. I was more concerned about my first test, where I only got 60MB/s write to an array with no parity disk. If I get a cache drive, should it write at 110MB/s or is the fact I only got 60MB/s writing direct to the array without parity more representative of what I'll get with a cache drive? Thanks will do.

Sure, here is the info (see attached) My parity drive completed overnight, and got the following speeds when transferring a file this morning: Speeds start off at 110MB/s or so, but then drops off significantly. mckinley-diagnostics-20190303-1059.zip

Hi everyone New user to unRAID here, looks like a great piece of kit. I've been playing around, but can't seem to get write speeds higher than 50-60MB/s. Current setup 3x Seagate 5900rpm SATA3 in Array No parity or cache while testing Gigabit ethernet network over Cat6 N54L BIOS updated to latest modded v41 with cache writes turned on Speeds Read speeds max out my network = 110MB/s Write speeds approx = 50-60MB/s When creating a Parity drive, speed is about 170MB/s This post below shows similar speeds to what I'm seeing, so I added these lines to the go config, but they didn't change my write speeds - just wondering if I need to do anything else but add the lines to the config file? https://forums.unraid.net/topic/28016-n54l-with-unraid-50-and-4x4-tb-1st-impressions/?do=findComment&comment=263227 echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold & logger Go Script - ondemand up_threshold set to 50 echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_down_factor & logger Go Script - ondemand sampling_down_factor set to 50
