  1. I removed the xml files so as to not cause any issues with the forum rules but my issues is when trying to install the "macinabox" app the screen becomes blank for about 15 min and then this error pops up.... scruffy-diagnostics-20220726-1218.7z
  2. I do not understand what is happening. I just used this "macinabox" app to install Mojave and everything was fine. Then, when I tried to install Monterey using the Spaceinvaders LATEST VIDEO the same as before, I receive the error -- install error: unauthorized: authentication required. Will someone please guide me to fix this issue? What is the problem? Thank you!
  3. I moved this issue to General Support page where it probably should have been....
  4. It all began with my friend needing help with swapping out 3 1TB drives for 3 2TB drives. I pre-cleared all three drives and began the process of removing each 1TB drives (one at a time) while choosing one of the new pre-cleared 2TB drives to take its place. Waited for the rebuilding process to complete prior to starting the whole process over for the next drive and its replacement. When I progressed through to the final drive, everything was working as planned when I receive this popup during the rebuild of the third pre-cleared 2TB drive. Sep 19 23:37:14 preclear_disk_WD-WX61A********: Post-Read: elapsed time - 3:56:01 This was almost the same time for all three 2TB drives to pre-clear. The problem in Fix Common Problems was ­ Write Cache is disabled on parity You may experience slow read/writes to parity. Write Cache should be enabled for better results. Read this post ( https://forums.unraid.net/topic/46802-faq-for-unraid-v6/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-755621 for more information. NOTE: If this drive is connected to your server via USB, then this test and the fix may or may not work / be accurate as USB support for smartctl and hdparm is hit and miss So I went to the URL ….. this told me to add this is Terminal replacing the last letter with the letter of your drive. hdparm -W 1 /dev/sdm My drives where 2 TB (sdb), 2 TB (sdd) and 2 TB (sdh) So I typed, in the UnraidsTerminal hdparm -W 1 /dev/sdb This was the output after completing the command /dev/sdb: setting drive write-caching to 1 (on) write-caching = 1 (on) So I typed the same command using the drive letter for the next drive hdparm -W 1 /dev/sdd This was the output after completing the command /dev/sdb: setting drive write-caching to 1 (on) write-caching = 1 (on) So I typed the same command using the drive letter for the last drive (that was in the process of rebuilding the drive from Cache) hdparm -W 1 /dev/sdh AND - Walla, CRC errors…. Pausing (rebuild). Well of course…. I should have waited for the rebuild to complete before I wrote to the drive with this command. I then tried to clear the CRC errors, but that didn’t work. I ended up formatting the drive, then removing/clearing the format and then started the pre-clear program once more on the drive. I wanted to let the Unraid programmers know that if they could somehow check for allowing the command to go through while the rebuild process was happening then they could prevent this from happening when someone does a stupid thing like I did here. I knew better, I think its just getting old and not quite as sparky as I used to be caused the issue. Probably nothing can be done because your writing directly to the drive with a command directly and not going through any other process. I would guess…. Anyway, maybe this will help someone else to recover when making the same mistake. Thanks for reading and I love this forum! Its a lot of help for me! That “Squid” Moderator - Grand Master - Community Developer really knows what they are talking/writing about! That’s for sure! Super OS UNRAID! I have four unraid servers which I use in my home lab. Its been an experience learning and testing different pluggins/vms.
  5. Sorry, I suppose it was something to do with the reboot, but when I rebooted again and ran Fix Common Problems, the error hasn't come back. Maybe someone could read the zip file and see if they can tell what was the issue. If no one responds within a couple of days, I will close this topic.
  6. I had this error after booting into the new Version: 6.9.0-beta25 update. I am a newbie so I have done what the error suggested... Your server has detected hardware errors. You should install mcelog via the NerdPack plugin, post your diagnostics and ask for assistance on the unRaid forums. The output of mcelog (if installed) has been logged. I hope the output of mcelog is in the zip file below, but if not would someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you! scruffy-diagnostics-20200713-1802.zip
  7. When trying to update Boinc, I receive this error when the system tries to download the latest update. " Error: unauthorized: authentication required " I have included log file from my Boinc container url..... Boinc Log.txt
  8. OK, That is what I thought. The supplier of the container will put the update this in the repo and then my system will let me know when I am able to update my container with "check for updates" in docker and then "install those updates". Is this about how it works? Thanks again for the explanation.
  9. Everytime I start Emby I get a notice that there is an Update Version 4.3.1.0 available. I am sorry if I don't know how this works, but I was just wondering... Thanks and great job on what you have done! I certainly appreciate you!
