  1. Right, you'd need to run a HDMI and USB from the basement to where you want the keyboard/mouse/screen to be.
  2. After you get this all fixed up you should consider moving to at t he least 5.0 stable....
  3. as a temporary fix you could try this in the command prompt before you run preclear ln /root/mdcmd /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd
  4. Thats a respectful time for a 4TB parity. My 3TB takes a hair over 8 hours to complete.
  5. Modern cpu's all idle low. It's just how fast can they go when pushed. Idle watts between a celeron and i7 is close if not the same.
  6. I'm in the same boat (unRAID close to main TV but I don't have the right hardware for pass through).
  7. The Atom is not capable for your needs. It has a passmark around 3,000 and Plex suggests 2,000 PER stream.
  8. ECC memory begins to be beneficial when using more then 2 RAM chips. I am running two 4GB DDR3 chips, non-ecc.
  9. UPDATE TIME: I've added a couple more dockers lately, namely CrashPlan and CrashPlan-Desktop to get a centralized backup system for our household going. I've set it to backup all data from C:\Users as that is where the important information lies (docs, pictures, spreadsheets, taxes, etc.) I've excluded certain folders like favourites, searches, appdata, etc that I dont care about. Now, on the topic of CPU... I've spotted an i5-4570 used for $180, still seems steep for a used processor... I'll probably just wait out for a smokin deal.
  10. Well, I guess I'm not a patient man. I flashed both cards with success to IT mode. Removed my SAS2 cards and installed the H310's. The array came up fine as normal. All drives with green, looks good. Went straight for a parity test and it immediately started at 102MB/sec. That's 40MB/sec more then my SAS2 cards. So in my system with the same version of unraid I'm seeing big improvements in a parity check. Because of my impatience I never ran a diagnostic before I took the SAS2 cards out, but after the parity check I can put them back in do a diagnostics if it helps. The cross flashing of the card(s) were much easier then I thought, but then again I'm from the old DOS days and very comfortable around a command prompt. While you saw a huge improvement, 102MB/s still seems low to me. I suspect you're bottlenecked by your controller card/PCIe slot. My array of 2x 3TB WD Green and 2x 3TB WD Red starts at 136MB/s.
  11. What affect would this have on normal shutdowns? There are some reports from earlier releases where there are several SMBd processes with a webgui hang.
  12. Can you talk to me more about why I would want to do this? I think I'm getting confused about what passthrough is. Well, for a normal VM, you could just use the built in web based VNC viewer or remote desktop. With a GPU that is passed through you can just plug it into a monitor and use the full power of the GPU/
  13. Probably just a display bug as right above it "Allocated: 7955MB" indicates 8GB of RAM.
  14. Make sure your cache share is set to ONLY for the VM. Right after 3AM is about the time Mover runs.
  15. I hate to state the obvious. But have you checked the cable to make sure its still properly plugged in?
  16. Make sure you cut that cable in half and file it under "G". You can mark it solved by editting your first post and changing the title and icon.
  17. How about the port on the switch side. It's not connecting to the other end..saw this in your logs: Speed: Unknown! Duplex: Unknown! (255) If switching ports on the switch doesnt work, try a new cat5e cable.
  18. Your motherboard has two ethernet ports, have you tried changing ports?
  19. Wouldnt this have been brought up as an issue a long time ago though? @Johnnie, are these SSD's you're testing on?
