I am planning to change from Binhex docker to this one in order to get the hardware transcoding with Intel Quick Sync. Are Intel 9 series iGPUs already supported (I have i5-9600K)? Or should I wait for a new stable release of Unraid with a newer version of Linux kernel?

Thank you for a very fast reply!

A question regarding cache pools. I have installed my dockers using a path /mnt/cache/... instead of /mnt/user/... This because of earlier instructions about preventing a data corruption issue. What measures regarding this should I take when updating from 6.8.3 or should it work without changing anything? Thank you!

Hi, Do you already have an idea or have decided how will the Wireguard functionality differ from the current Wireguard plugin feature? That is, will there be an easy to use configuration view as for the plugin or..? Thank you for all your hard work!

Found a solution: Add an additional path to the docker configuration. Edit the gitlab.rb confgiration. Specify the new location as the only repository location via the Gitlab web UI.

Hi, When installing the docker it is recommended that the GitLab data directory is configured to be in the cache. How can I relocate the repositories to the array? That is, they will take a lot of storage and keeping them in the cache is not feasible. Thank you!

First of all, thank you for the instant reply and support! Yes, correct. I would prefer to do it internally inside the Unraid server but there is not a Urbackup client available and it is needed. Or have I misunderstood something? Does Urbackup ignore the files that have not changed? That is, it transfers only the changed files since the previous backup? That way the performance hit is not so bad after the first backup. Yes, I was planning on syncing the Urbackup database. However, I might have limited understanding of the issue. So, what I want to acchieve is that if my Unraid server and the Urbackup installation inside it gets correupted / destroyed, I can still restore the backups using the files stored in my friends Unraid server. So, I need to sync everything that is needed for that. Do you know, whether the Urbackup internal database is enough or should I need to sync something else also?

Thank you for another excellent docker! I am planning on utilizing Urbackup to backup my vital files on my Unraid server. I am just not sure whether to implement/configure certain needs. The configuration - An Unraid server with about 15 shares (all exported read-only to prevent ransomware attacks). - A dedicated Windows VM where I would install an Urbackup client and enable read-only access to all shares to be backed up (file backups). - Windows desktop where I would install an Urbackup and configure an image backup of the computer. - Another Unraid server (my friend's) in a different location, where I would sync the backup databases. - My friends backup databases would be synced to my Unraid server also. - The backup traffic between our Unraid servers would go via a WireGuard tunnel. The questions - Backing up the shares would be easy if I could have an Urbackup client inside the Unraid server. However, would the above configuration achieve the same? - I would also backup the Unraid system files using this. That is, I need to export them as SMB shares (read-only). I guess there aren't any issues on this? - What would be the best way do the backup database syncs between our Unraid servers? Any examples? Thank you for any info!

Did you define the DNS? I had a similar issue that was resolved after I defined the DNS.

Yes, I am still using 6.7.2. Waiting for the official 6.8 release.

Hi, I noticed that moving files between array disks is acting a bit strangely. That is, the speed is quite fast for a while but the the move is stalled for a few seconds and then the speed starts to raise again. After a while the transfer is again stalled, and so on. Please, see the attached screen shot for further info. Is this somehow related to parity disk or is there something wrong with my setup?

A plugin update fails with the following lines: plugin: updating: unassigned.devices.plg plugin: downloading: "https://github.com/dlandon/unassigned.devices/raw/master/unassigned.devices-2019.11.29.tgz" ... done plugin: bad file MD5: /boot/config/plugins/unassigned.devices/packages/unassigned.devices-2019.11.29.tgz Somebody else having this issue?

Good. Thank you for a fast reply.

By "same access rights as a local user" you refer to a local user in the unraid server? So, the remote computer/user will have, for example, access to all the shares from inside the unraid server? The reason I am asking is that if the remote computer gets infected by, for example, a ransomware virus. What kind of access and risk this would had for the unraid server?

I plan on installing wireguard for - Remote tunneled access - Remote access to server I guess, the remote tunneled access provides the same access to the LAN as remote access to LAN, right? So, what kind of access exactly this gives out? That is, what does this "Regardless of the "connection type" you choose, assume that anyone who gets access to this configuration information will be able to get full access to your network." mean in practice? Is the other party able to access the shares and server storage without any further authentication or do they still need to know the share and server passwords to achieve that?

Yes, understood. As I wrote in the original post, I do not expect any guarantees. I was looking for "an educated guess" based on the earlier releases but I understand that each release has its individual properties/issues.

Yes, 6.8. I do not know what I was thinking when writing. OK, maybe I'll take a shot. Thank you for the reply! I was just wondering whether it will probably be days, weeks or months..

I know that nothing can be promised and I do not expect that. However, is it possible to predict based on the earlier releases when the first stable 3.8 will see daylight? That is, I am craving for updating to 3.8 (Intel 9th gen iGPU support and Wireguard support) but also need to minimize any risk of issues to the array as it is somewhat mission critical that I am running there. Any info appreciated!

Yes, you can find it attached. A bit of a disclaimer. This was my first bash script, so most probably something is written "uncleanly and/or in a stupid way". Anyway, you can use the script but of course, I cannot guarantee that it works for somebody else than me. At least, you need to edit it based on the output of the sensors -command in your server. Please, feel free to ask any questions regarding the script. A side note. I found a bug in the notify -functionality. That is, if one gives too long description with the "-d" -parameter the webgui notifications stop to function. Emails are still sent. It seems that there should be a check for too long description and the excess texts should be cut off. I will generate a bug report for this. checkFansAndTemps.txt

Hi, For some reason, I do not get notifications to the Unraid browser UI anymore. The email notifications are still working. I checked the log and there is no error messages and I double checked that the correct notification settings are set. I tested this by calling the /usr/local/emhttp/webGui/scripts/notify. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you! >>> Simple reboot of the server helped. Didn't do it immediately because everything else in the webgui worked. Anyway, issue solved.

Hi, I tried to search the forum but did not find a topic for this. So, is there a way to set Unraid to raise a notification (alert / warning) if a fan fails (i.e., the speed gets lower than a configurable limit)? Thanks! >>> Made a script (User Scripts plugin) that gets the fan speeds using 'sensors' command and parses the output. If a fan speed is lower than limit set for that fan, a notification is initiated. Works for my needs. Marking the issue solved.

Did you get any replies for this?

I have an issue when preclearing disks in a certain HDD slot in my server. I have tried two different HDDs and they both work OK in a different slot but both give this error in this specific slot. I already changed the SATA cable but still the issue remains. However, the preclear goes through succesfully but I do not like the log and in the end it is stated that the link speed is lowered to 3Gbs. Any idea what might be the issue? The SMART report does not report any bad sectors. Thank you! The full log is attached. Here only the start of the issue and the end of log: Jul 16 12:14:21 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: WDC_WD30EFRX-68AXXXX_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX (sdg) 512 5860533168 Jul 16 12:14:21 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0xffffff7f SErr 0x400000 action 0x6 frozen Jul 16 12:14:21 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error Jul 16 12:14:21 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5: SError: { Handshk } Jul 16 12:14:21 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED Jul 16 12:14:21 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: cmd 61/40:00:40:e7:00/05:00:00:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq dma 688128 out Jul 16 12:14:22 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: status: { DRDY } [...] Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: cmd 61/40:f0:c0:d8:01/05:00:00:00:00/40 tag 30 ncq dma 688128 out Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: status: { DRDY } Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: cmd 61/40:f8:80:a5:02/05:00:00:00:00/40 tag 31 ncq dma 688128 out Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: status: { DRDY } Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5: hard resetting link Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 320) Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133 Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: ata5: EH complete Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: Pausing preclear of disk 'sdg' Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: Resuming preclear of disk 'sdg' Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: Pausing preclear of disk 'sdg' Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: Resuming preclear of disk 'sdg' Jul 16 12:14:39 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXXX_XXXX: syslog: sdg: sdg1 preclear_disk_WD-WMC1T08XXXX_XXXX.txt

@comet424 It worked! Thank you very much for the help!
