Flash drive restore
I just got the same error booting up after a crash (Unraid 6.12.4). I had to shut down > Remove USB Stick > Plug it into an other computer > Delete the folder /config/plugins/disklocation-master and file /config/plugins/disklocation-masker.plg > Replug into server > Boot up. I will do the latest updates this weekend, hopefully gets resolved. Here was the error message: jq: error: Could not open file /boot/config/plugins/disklocation/disklocation.conf: No such file or dtrectary /tmp/disklocation-install: line 215: [: ==: unary operator expected

[Plugin] Parity Check Tuning
Unraid 6.8.3, I had the same issue for the last few days, a "failed parsing crontab" log alternating between resume and pause every 15min. I updated the Parity Check Tuning plugin and did what was suggest: Visit the plugin page, change a setting back and forth so the "APPLY" button appears, save and the issue didn't return... hopping to wait until 6.8.9 to update 🤞

(SOLVED) iGPU transcoding: i915 driver present but /dev/dri not available
Thanks @gabestover your post cleared it up for me. I'm running unRaid 6.8.2 so I didn't apply any changes to syslinux.cfg I used CA Config Editor app to edit my /boot/config/go file, and added those two lines below #!/bin/bash as shown. My Plex docker has an added Config Type: Device, Name: /dev/dri, Value: /dev/dri. The container started right away after reboot, sweet. * For anyone reading interested to transcode in Plex with hardware accelection straight to ram: Enable "Use hardware acceleration when available" in Plex settings > Transcoder. I also set the "Transcoder temporary directory" to /transcode. In the Plex docker config the Container Path: /transcode is set to Host Path: /tmp

***GUIDE*** Plex Hardware Acceleration using Intel Quick Sync
I built an unRAID server for personal use with low power consumption parts (msi Z270 + i5-7600k) and chose to use the built-in HD630 iGPU for the few times it needs to transcode media. Most of my content is played locally on a Shield TV, but when streamed remotely it can now handle a few streams without touching the CPUs. I followed this guide and enabled hardware acceleration working on Plex (linuxserver) within minutes thanks!

Turbo write
With a parity disk active (write corrections on), cache off, copying one TB of small files to a share over gigabit ethernet from a USB 3.0 drive I was getting 10-15MB/s... I paused the transfer, selected "Reconstruct Write" under Settings > Disk Settings > Tunable (md_write_method), went to Main > Spin Up disks, and resumed the transfer in Windows. It averages now at 35MB/s. I get the same speed differences from a USB drive directly in Unraid from Krusader. I have many more TB of data to transfer from unassigned SATA disks, this thread saved me a few days of wait! I'll come back to report my findings, thanks to all for sharing.
