  1. 10 days in from turning IPv6 off and no issues.
  2. It is now 6 days later, GUI back to being un-responsive. I will need to switch IPv6 off again.
  3. Just updated to Version 6.12.3 2023-07-14. Changed back to IPv4 + IPv6. If it makes it a week, I'll consider it solved.
  4. It has been a week since moving to IPv4 only and I still haven't experienced the problem with the gui. So i believe this work-around solved the original problem. Good thing I don't need IPv6 right now.
  5. Since upgrading to 6.12.x I have had a problem where after a day or two, the gui becomes unresponsive. Will not even time out, browser just keeps acting like it is trying to open the gui page. I just moved to IPv4 only to see if this helps, but that doesn't seem like a solve. Looking for any pointers you may have.
  6. Hi All, I'm hoping this is a good place to post my question. I'm relatively new to unraid and am somewhat technical. I've been running an unraid/plex server for about 1.5yrs now and would like to upgrade from my current server and add a couple drives for a total of 6 drives. Basically I want to add HDDs and utilize a much newer processor/motherboard I already own for my unraid/plex server. The current server has a 10+ year old processor and motherboard and the internal HDD controller is maxed out at 4 drives. The current enclosure isn't made to host 4x3.5" drives, but it is doing OK. Heat levels on my drives are hanging around 100 degrees give or take 5 degrees. My question is which option should I pursue? Current Config: Unraid 6.9.1 Dell Studio D340 Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz 4x4TB WD SATA HDDs Built-in HDD Controller that can host 4 drives New Option 1: (new enclosure) Re-purpose my Alien X51 R3 Mini-ITX Motherbooard Purchase Fractal Design Node 804 Purchase 2 additional 4TB WD SATA HDDs Purchase LSI 8-port capable controller New Option 2: (utilize Alien Enclosure) Re-purpose my Alien X51 R3 machine as-is Purchase 2 Additional 4TB WD SATA HDDs Purchase LSI 8-port capable controller for use with external enclosure Purchase external HDD enclosure that can hold up to 8 drives Which option would you all pursue? And if you have a preference on Option 2, which LSI controller and external HDD enclosures should I look at? I'm not even sure if I should go with USB connection to the external enclosure or go with SAS ports. Any guidance is much appreciated.
