    Decent deal for anything NOT involving unraid. Those cards have a bad reputation for dropping drives when used with unraid.

     

    Should work fine for a windows box.

    Ok, good to know. Like I said, I never got to use it for unraid, ended up using M1015 back then. Thanks 

  3. Does transcoding to ram still work?

    I am using the Official Plex Docker.

    I'm asking because the Real Docker FAQ states "Note: Since about Plex version 0.9.14, transcoding to RAM does not work.  Recommend avoiding this option."

    Conclusion:  With unRAID 6.5.0, the ASRock C236 WSI can no longer be booted in "legacy" mode (non-UEFI boot and EFi- folder on flash drive).  UEFI boot is now required and boot priority #1 must be UEFI: {Flash Drive} with all others disabled and the flash folder EFI- must be renamed to EFI.

     

    Basically, I can confirm what Gamephreak discovered. I think the key to getting it to boot normally are his #3 and #6.

     

    I have this board (C236 WSI P2.10) and did not have any issues at all upgrading from 6.4.1 to 6.50.

    After reading the comments here, I got curious and hooked up a monitor to my server to check the boot settings.

    I am booting in "legacy" mode (non-EFI boot and EFI- folder on flash drive)

     I tried changing only the boot mode to UEFI (without renaming EFI- folder) and of course it failed to boot, so I changed it back.

    Should I update the bios and make the changes to UEFI boot mode or since everything is working fine could I just leave it alone?

  5. Hello,

    I just upgraded to 6.4.1 and would like to upgrade to dual parity,  larger data drives and cache pool.

    I only have room for 6 HDD and 2 SSD.

     

    Currently I have:

    1 x 3TB Parity drive

    5 x 3TB Data drives (disk 1 is currently empty as it is failing)

    1 x SSD cache drive

     

    I would like to upgrade to:

    2 x Parity drives (6TB or greater)

    4 x Data drives (6TB or greater)

    2 x SSD Cache pool

     

    Should I upgrade single parity to a larger drive first before removing the failing drive?

    Should I remove the failing drive, reassign the others and rebuild parity before upgrading to a larger parity drive?

    Or could I remove the failing drive, reassign the others and upgrade to larger dual parity drives all at the same time?

     

  6. I have an AZZA Helios 910 if you're interested.

     

    Right now it's a complete server, but no longer in use.

    I can part it out and sell you the case.

    It has 9 external 5.25" drive bays (tabs have been flattened to accommodate drive cages).

    solid side panels (no side fans).

    140mm top fan

    120mm rear fan

     

  7. Hello,

     

    Is there a way to resize the noVNC window to fit the display?

     

    When I connect to a Windows 8.1 vm using noVNC in Unraid 6 B15 I cannot see the entire desktop without scrolling left /right and top/bottom.

     

    When I connect using remote desktop, I can see the entire desktop without having to scroll.

     

    I get the same result when using noVNC with an Ubuntu 15.04 vm.

     

    Is this normal for noVNC? This is the first time I have used it.

  8. Looking to trade my tower setup for a rack mount setup.

    I am looking for:

    Limetech D-316M Server Case with Drive Cages

     

    I am willing to trade:

  9. Another thumbs up for Amex!

     

    And in case you haven't done this already, I recommend you set up text/email alerts for "card not present" transactions.

    I have these alerts set up for my Chase Visa also.
