It has now been 11 years. The radio has seen its share of issues. Most Seagate drives have died. I lost two controller cards due to overheating once I reached 16 drives on them (8 each) New controller cards now have a fan sitting on them. I will be at 85TB of storage by end of day (new drive coming in). My oldest drive I just took out was a 1TB WD. 15+ years powered on. The other drives unassigned DEVICE | DISK | MODEL | HOURS | DAYS | YEARS /dev/sdb | apps | WDC WDBN | 49085 | 2045 | 5.60 /dev/sdc | cache | ADATA SU650 | 21970 | 915 | 2.51 /dev/sdt | disk10 | WDC WD30EFRX | 60807 | 2534 | 6.94 /dev/sdj | disk11 | WDC WD160EDGZ | 6266 | 261 | 0.72 /dev/sdr | disk12 | WDC WD40EFRX | 60958 | 2540 | 6.96 /dev/sdm | disk15 | WDC WD120EDAZ | 37949 | 1581 | 4.33 /dev/sdi | disk4 | WDC WD120EDBZ | 31425 | 1309 | 3.59 /dev/sdk | disk6 | WDC WD30EZRX | 81700 | 3404 | 9.33 /dev/sds | disk7 | WDC WD30EZRX | 89181 | 3716 | 10.18 /dev/sdf | disk8 | WDC WD30EZRX | 100665 | 4194 | 11.49 /dev/sdg | disk9 | WDC WD30EZRX | 106479 | 4437 | 12.16 << Has 4 Million Load Cycle Counts.

I have toyed with moving into a proper 4u case.

This is very cool. Nicely done! :)

Confirmed. Installed, Setup. Delete a file. Didn't Work. (But saw the .Recycle Bin folder. Empty) Restarting the Array fixed it.

7 Years Later..... This Unraid Radio has moved into an old 1851 stone home we are renovating. It is protected by a APC 1500 VA UPSD and now has Upgraded Motherboard and CPU (i7-4790k) 24 GB Ram 4 SSDs 16 Drives (39TB) It also hosted an echo show for awhile Finally committed to a 16TB Parity drive so I can start trimming down the drive count Drive with most powered on hours is over 11y, 6m, 29d, 19h Other than getting dusty (which I did a full tear down and clean out as CPU temps were hitting 100), it has run like a champ and cooling drives working great. When I am done the house, I will get back to mounting Motherboard, PSU and SSDs correctly along with finishing the front and back panels. The small radio on top may become a gaming PC.

Late to the party, but: Power on hours 101490 (11y, 6m, 29d, 18h) Model Family: Western Digital Caviar Green Device Model: WDC WD10EAVS-00D7B1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate POSR-K 200 200 051 - 0 Spin_Up_Time POS--K 166 164 021 - 6658 Start_Stop_Count -O--CK 096 096 000 - 4703 Reallocated_Sector_Ct PO--CK 200 200 140 - 0 Seek_Error_Rate -OSR-K 100 253 000 - 0 Power_On_Hours -O--CK 001 001 000 - 101490 Power_Cycle_Count -O--CK 099 099 000 - 1572

I was going to continue Gman. I thought I figured it out. I just found this for $10 each: 3 drive cages from Corsair. for 80$ I get 24 slots. Just need to make the frame to hold them all. and for another $4, 2 SSD. To bad I am Canadian. End cost goes from $84 to $200 Still cheaper than the Norco. 1st world problems. I just really hate having to spin this radio around to add drives. It's getting fraking heavy.

So just an update. This project fell off the radar. Unfortunately. I have now reached 15 drives. And the problem now is my cables aren't able to reach the bottom set of drives. Also, my racks are a pain to put new drives in. I hate to say it, but I think a Norco 24bay is in the future. But for the record, the setup works and has been awesome. Just will never be completed as other life priorities have taken over. For archival sake, I will restore the broken photo links in the thread. Thanks for those that participated and see you next unfinished project I start. And sorry, UnRaid Vintage Coke Machine probably won't happen either. /sniff

Same deal. Now that my eth0 reads 192.168.0.101 I try bridged with eth0. Still fails. Everything other than NAT fails in one way or another. (network unreachable or interface doesn't come up) My windows installation of VirtualBox has no issues creating bridged network. UPDATE: I have got it working, but I am curious as to why it fails initially. Boot Server. Wait 2 mins for the DHCP stupid "For Wait For" to timeout Log in. ifdown enp0s3 Returns Network is Unreachable blah blah ifup enp0s3 DCHPOFFER 192.168.0.127 I can ping my network. All is good. Why won't it do this in the FIRST place!? Arhghghgh Temporary workaround is /etc/rc.local added ifdown enp0s3 ifup enp0s3

No. For some reason my network settings has setup bridge as enabled. Not sure if I did it assuming dockers needed it? I'm gonna go back to static and cross my fingers. Thanks Edit: Maybe at some point I did try Xen... >.> I forget.

Hey all. I have installed virtualbox plugin. Everything is peachy. Kinda. I have one annoyance that I can't get past. When I create a Linux virtual box (have not tried windows), I set the network adapter to be bridge (eth0). During the install of linux, it's downloading happily and things seem great. But the minute the install is done and I boot into my new OS, I get that dreaded "for Wait For" during bootup which means it isn't getting an IP. NAT is ok and I get 10.x.x.x ip. (or whatever it is) and it can surf, but I want to create hosts that reside on my 192.168.0.x using bridge mode, it fails. For the life of me, I can't get it working. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. I should note that in UnRaid: My eth0 adapter shows no IP. Ifconfig shows xenbr0 as having the 192.168.0.x number that is used on my network.

Found it!! Oddly.. along with some 2 Carat Diamond Earrings...

OLA! Long time no speak. I shouldn't have moved production UnRaid into the radio so soon. Prevents me from doing work on the chassis! Anyway.. was able to give it some downtime today. (after playing with UnRaid 6. Bravo Tom and Contributors. Well done. I'm enjoying the docker though during my upgrade to 6, there were boot issues. I went to plug in monitor only to realize the on-board video plug was 1 inch from the front face of the radio. I had to take the entire thing apart to get it going. Now looking for PCI video card so that doesn't happen again.Anyway.. on with some pics. I decided I wanted to finish the grill. Last we saw... it was a mess of wires. I cut a piece of oak veneer and fastened to front plate. Made to fit. Stained Test Mounted I then attached some fancy aluminum sheet to the front. Drilled out the holes for the mounting of the trim piece and voila. And back into the storage room she goes. Can't wait to have her done and shown off in the house Next is the display but there is a problem. In my infinite wisdom, I put the glass somewhere safe to not break it. So safe in fact.. I can't find it. To be continued..... ** update ** Drive Temps have risen. Nothing the drives can't handle. (up from 27 to 31 degrees). The range is 25 to 31 for Array Drives Cache drive is 7200rpm and old. Runs at 35 most of the time. Found the Faceplate!

When it's done. Till then it's in a bedroom in the basement.

Here is a little bit of an update. The server is running great. Temps are stable. Added a 3/4 inch plate to the bottom with felts underneath. Slides nicely on the hardwood floor. (Nearly too heavy to lift alone) Items to tackle: NEW Vibration from 1 or 2 older drives is resonating withing the case. (1 of them is VERY loud) EXISTING - Veneer the top - Find front cover material (perforated aluminum sheet) or maybe wood veneer for matching? - Complete the back panel - Find Radio Component that will work in radio and make custom knobs (was missing 1 when I bought it, want all to match) - Work out glass display functionality (worries me, I can't remember where I put it >.<) - Power Button. Screwdriver is annoying. This server lives in a basement room with the door closed. Room temp is held at 23.6 degrees C. Rest of House is 20.

I'll be working on a cage at some point. I really would like to use: Concerned about depth and width. (and interference).. I can't leave it in the case. Too deep and too wide. I was just offered another radio by a friend cause he likes my first project. Liking this one as well. Maybe this one can be my main PC. + Web Server + DHCP Server + Etc Etc.
