Here's the thing. Unraid runs from RAM, so in effect the USB drive IS just there for the license. Once the system is booted, the only interactions with the USB drive is to save changes that you make to your configuration. It's not like the OS drive for a typical system.
Even during boot, the vast majority of the I/O is reading, which doesn't directly effect the lifespan of the flash. It does raise the temperature, so those little micro sized drives with plastic externals get toasty, but a well constructed drive like the kingston's with lots of metal to dissipate the heat don't get cooked.
It's not like you are carrying the drive around with you, and for security the best option is to mount the drive internally on a motherboard header to USB adapter anyway.
you have a few points of why its not that bad, but it would also be nice to have a boot drive that doesn't die from writes. Also, if it was just there for licensing, it would probably never die.... at least, even if it did, it wouldn't stop you from booting. USB flash drives are not enterprise class devices in any way, shape or form... this is not common practice for a very good reason. If it were, we should be able to, at least, mirror two USB's.
Again, I have no problem with the OPTION of booting off the flash drive, but I've prefer to boot from one of my enterprise class drives that I can trust and can log to if I wish without it dying... and that I can run proper redundancy with.
More options don't exist ONLY because not enough of us (paying customers) are complaining about how stupid this forced booting from a USB flash drive is.

Your post is beyond a joke.
You are blaming the OS for clearly hardware issues.
LimeTech does not manufacture your server nor your USB sticks.
Do you blame Windows if your laptop breaks down?
No! You blame Lenovo, Asus or whoever MANUFACTURES your laptop!
Perhaps it needs to be told in the post-Trump world that screaming loudly doesn't really get anything solved.
Sorta, but not really... who wants to be forced to boot of of a usb flash drive in this day and age? They need to fix their licenses to not be centric around a single drive, or, at least, allow us to mirror a couple of drives since they are not reliable. I wouldn't care as much if they allowed us to boot off of anything and simply have the drive there for the license, but making us use the drive kills it, and it's really stupid to force it on all users.

for some reason I can't download the zip to look.... is it an Intel SSD? once Intels reach their max data written, they go read only. Must replace it to fix if that's the case.

anyone else having trouble with the syncthing docker and updating? Mine keeps telling me there is an update, but there is not... I can update and then click on check for updates, it thinks there is another one... My version is 1.2.2 which i believe is up to date.
My other dockers are not doing this, just syncthing.

this works for the SSH keys by adding to the /boot/config/go file, where foo is the key
mkdir ~/.ssh
echo 'foo' > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod 644 ~/.ssh -
I use pfsense, I see it as a core networking device, so I would never virtualize it.
-
I also use syncthing, it's handy for more than just photos too
-
I would normally use minicom for such a need. I just checked nerd pack, doesn't seem to be in there... I'd say ask the maintainer to add it.... Makes a lot more sense than a VM.

What about other plugins?
yeah, I can install some others, I guess the ones I tried before aren't using SSL... the ones using SSL are all erroring out, so probably not something to do with this plugin.
-
yeah, it's right... still getting ssl errors. I can install other apps without issue.

Just tried to install, but it's failing ssl verification.....

what do you mean they disappeared? like showmount doesn't show them? nfs server crashed? can you just restart nfs?
Are they all in one folder and your just doing a "rm *" or something?

its not the VPN service, its Netflix (and friends) actively blocking them... Complain, loudly, to Netflix.

So with my situation running plex and having some data stored locally and some on gsuite I find my self needing to have to reboot atleast once a week because Rclone loses the Mount. so I am looking for a solution to auto restart unraid at a certain time and date per week to automate it. I looked at the internal options and didnt see any and could not find a app option. Does anyone know if any solutions to auto-rebooting unraid servier say.. every Sunday at 4AM?
so why not just schedule the script to remount ? Why reboot the whole system just to mount a filesystem? You could schedule it to run every minute (or hour or every 15 minutes or whatever), and if not currently mounted, then mount it.... makes more sense to me anyway.

new drives should mean new cables, right? Always buy new cables, they are cheap and not worth the pain in the ass they cause when they are screwed up.
you probably knocked a cable alittle loose, I'd finish the preclear and add it back in. -
Probably a sata drive, enable cache with hdparm. To make it persistent, edit your go file.

Abzstrak,
I took your advice and enabled the macOS setting in SMB settings. Doing some testing, it seems to be working and retaining the original folder dates once it's copied over to UnRAID. I'll keep testing, but the results so far look promising.
Thank you!
Jeff
Lol, awesome... Totally lucky guess as I have one Mac and everything else is linux, no windows. Glad it seems to be working.
Just an fyi, I do understand that enabling that can have some issues for windows client, I've never paid any attention to them as they don't affect me, but something to watch out for or research.

I have the same problem, I had to add to to my go file.
my usb is sda, the next six are data and parity drives. I put this line in my go file, seems to work well:
hdparm -W 1 /dev/sd[b,c,d,e,f,g]
-
two of my 6 do the same thing, just enable it manually in the go file... no big deal.
my boot usb is sda. The next 6 are my data drives. therefore I put this line in the go file
hdparm -W 1 /dev/sd[b,c,d,e,f,g]

is it just via samba? just curious if it shows correct or not via nfs/afp/sftp... I'm wondering if its just a samba issue
I'm running 6.7.1 and mine appears to be correct via smb shares I think. I don't have Windows to test from, but connecting from Plasma in Fedora 30 it all looks to be correct date and times... and I haven't screwed around with the smb settings at all other than enabling the apple thing (Enhanced macOS interoperability) for my Wife's macbook. Maybe try turning that on?

turn off next cloud for a while, spin down the disks, see what happens. Continue turning things off until something has an affect. Once you figure out what program or docker or whatever it is then you can troubleshoot it... right now your just guessing.

Should I create a new share for this /mnt/cache/transcode?
I would, yes. Do your worst, abuse the system and see how big the transcode folder gets, then add 10-15% and go back to using a RAM drive that is at least that large
assuming you have enough RAM.
don't about the caching, its normal... unused memory is wasted memory.... it's a unix thing. No worries, the system gives it up for other use.

Anything on the host that is not under /mnt or /boot is automatically in RAM.
true, but the automatically created one uses mount defaults, including a max size of 1/2 your RAM... which, could be very important. For example, I found that if I am DVRing and watching something I could pull down 22GB of space and I have 32GB of RAM. If I used defaults, then I'd run out of space and my DVRs would get auto cancelled. I mounted manually with a max size of 24GB to avoid this.

I think you can update your script to run the integrity check first and only back up if the database is ok
yeah, just been lazy... was thinking of doing that as well as shooting out an email/sms message to my phone letting me know its corrupt. its been 10 or 11 days since my last corruption, so... motivation isn't all there either
assuming you have enough RAM.
VNC console of VM's mouse invisible on Chromebook
in VM Engine (KVM)
Posted · Edited by Abzstrak
Anyone have any ideas on why the mouse pointer in a GUI (in Ubuntu VM for example) would not be visible when using a chromebook for access? Its visible if I use Cirrus instead of QXL... but I'd prefer QXL.
