Anybody else having issue with the Sonarr plugin stopping a couple of times a week?

Also having this issue now. Any suggestions?

Hi After recently trying to add the Plex Media Server and PlexConnect Plugin I´m experiencing issues with the interface not working after reboots. I saw the tip to execute the following via telnet: killall emhttp nohup /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & ...and this gets it going. Still I cant help but worry since I always have to execute the commands at startup, this never happened before... /Niklas

Cant see any error messages referring to the memory. I did however include the syslog if I dont look at it right. It indicates that either the preclear_disk.sh is corrupted, OR, you have programs missing on your server it is expecting to use. You should have none of the "command not found" or "syntax error" messages. did you open the preclear_disk.sh script in an editor? (possibly accidentally add carriage returns to the ends of the lines?) Another possibility is you ran out of memory for all you were running. Look in your syslog for out-of-memory (oom) errors. Unless you used the -r -w and -b options of the preclear script, three simultaneous preclears of large drives will likely run out of memory. syslog.txt

From what I know I only downloaded the script from the forum post and put it on my unRAID flash. So I should cancel the other 2 preclears and try with a new script then maybe...

I´m a bit of a noob when it comes to unRAID and thought I would ask what my pre-clear means. So far I´m only done with my planned cache disk and got 2x 4tb drives in the process as well. preclear_start: Last login: Mon Apr 29 18:18:52 on ttys003 Mac-mini:~ Niklas$ /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_start_\ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30 ; exit; /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_start_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 1: Disk:: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_start_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_start_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 2: `smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build)' logout [Processen slutförd] preclear_finish: Last login: Tue Apr 30 12:13:56 on ttys003 Mac-mini:~ Niklas$ /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_finish_\ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30 ; exit; /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_finish_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 1: Disk:: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_finish_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_finish_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 2: `smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build)' logout [Processen slutförd] preclear_rpt: Last login: Tue Apr 30 12:17:25 on ttys003 Mac-mini:~ Niklas$ /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_\ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30 ; exit; /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 1: ========================================================================1.13: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 2: ==: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 3: ==: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 4: ==: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 5: ==: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 6: ==: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 7: ==: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 8: ==: command not found /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /Volumes/flash/preclear_reports/preclear_rpt_ WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM_2013-04-30: line 10: `== Last Cycle's Zeroing time : 2:49:12 (73 MB/s)' logout [Processen slutförd] When I look at the terminal after the preclear is done I get the following: ========================================================================1.13 == WDC WD7500BPVT-55HXZT3 WD-WXQ1EB1JSLAM == Disk /dev/sdc has been successfully precleared == with a starting sector of 64 ============================================================================ ** Changed attributes in files: /tmp/smart_start_sdc /tmp/smart_finish_sdc ATTRIBUTE NEW_VAL OLD_VAL FAILURE_THRESHOLD STATUS RAW_VALUE Seek_Error_Rate = 100 200 0 ok 0 Temperature_Celsius = 115 119 0 ok 7200 No SMART attributes are FAILING_NOW 0 sectors were pending re-allocation before the start of the preclear. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after pre-read in cycle 1 of 1. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 1 of 1. 0 sectors are pending re-allocation at the end of the preclear, the number of sectors pending re-allocation did not change. 0 sectors had been re-allocated before the start of the preclear. 0 sectors are re-allocated at the end of the preclear, the number of sectors re-allocated did not change. root@Tower:/boot# Is it correct with all these different error messages in the reports since the terminal doesnt mention anything regarding allocation...?

I´m currently running a HP Microserver N40L, 2GB RAM. unRAID 5.0-rc12a Parity: Seagate Desktop HDD ST4000DM000 64MB 4TB (in one hot-swap) Array disk: Seagate Desktop HDD ST4000DM000 64MB 4TB (in hot-swop) Cache: WD BLUE 2.5" 750GB 5400RPM SATA/300 (in 5,25" place using eSATA to SATA connection) I´m trying to run a preclear again. Attached is a screenshot. Even if the 2,5" WD Cache wasn't the problem it still looks weird with that temp (7201 degrees celcius). The other 4TB 3,5" looks OK so far... By the way, should the "start on sector" be different like in the pics?

When running the parity check I get the following result: Started Stop will take the array off-line. Parity-Sync in progress. Cancel will stop Parity-Sync. WARNING: canceling Parity-Sync will leave the array unprotected! Total size: 4 TB Current position: 1.34 GB (0%) Estimated speed: 16.92 MB/sec Estimated finish: 3940 minutes

Hi I´ve recently got into the unraid game again. I´m using a HP Microserver N40L and have used the exact same setup before. In my machine I´ve got: Parity: Seagate Desktop HDD ST4000DM000 64MB 4TB Array disk: Seagate Desktop HDD ST4000DM000 64MB 4TB Cache: WD BLUE 2.5" 750GB 5400RPM SATA/300 The Microservers BIOS has been flashed and configured. The cache drive is connected via the eSATA jack on the back. All disks have been precleared without issues. Now, if I add files to my shares, via the cache drive, everyting works as it should. Transfer speeds are normal. But if I try to transfer files to a share that doesnt use the cache the speed is non existent. It took 40minutes to transfer a file of 1,1GB. I thought this was strange so I thought I should envoke the mover script and have the stuff on my cache move over to the disk array. Same issue here, its been moving all night and its only managed to move appr 15GB in 8 hours. I´ll attach my syslog from this morning if somebody could have any ideas whats wrong. Since the transfer speed to the cache is fine I dont think there are any issues with the network, instead it must be something with my disk array... syslog-2013-04-29.txt

I´m having prmission issues with my movie share. Its got a split level of 2 and the permissions keep changing from full read/write to only read. On my TV share where I use a split level of 1 I keep my full read/write all the time. If a use "New Permissions" I do get write access on my movie share again but only for a short time. Any ideas? /Niklas

Regarding a 2,5" below the ODD. I know it will fit since I used a 2,5" SSD below 2x3,5" that were placed in the ODD in my previous setup. I was wondering if a "normal" 2,5" HDD with a silicon sleeve (like this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/anti-shock-silicone-protective-case-with-ventilation-for-2-5-hdd-hard-disk-drives-21326?item=8) would still fit even mith the added thickness of the sleeve. I thought it would be a good idea with a sleeve or some sort of silencing cover if I were to place a non-SSD disk loose in this space. On another note, what is the required settings when using the modded BIOS in unRAID. There seem to be some more options besides enabling the extra SATA ports but maybe thats tweaks if you are planning on running Windows or someting else....

maxse: I used a Nexus Doubletwin in my N36L and it fit perfectly with 2x3,5" On another note. I was wondering if there is room below the ODD space for a 2,5" cachedisc if I put a silicon cover on it? I previously used a small SSD as a cache in this space but I´d like a bit more space and was planning on a 2,5" 1TB and put some sort of silicon sleeve to avoid vibrations, but the question is would it fit?

Sorry for my late reply. As some of you have stated the issue was with my Plugins (Sickbeard, Couchpotato...). I had them running as "root". After restarting them running as "nobody" everything is working perfect.

Tried to upgrade to RC5 and ran the permissions script and rebooted. Things seemed to work at first but this morning my shows that got downloaded during the night didnt work. The files are in my shares ( I can see them if I browse through the unRAID webpage and in to my drives) but I cant access them. Could it have something to do with the drives going to sleep during the night and then somehow it gets messed up when they should wake up again?

I've run the permissions script several times with no result. How do I make surebthe shares are mounted with a user other than root? The funny thing is that I can access some files on a share and orhers fail, I cant seem to find a pattern...

I recently reinstalled my server with 5.0b14. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with permissions (at least that what I think) since I can access shares for a couple of hours and then suddenly I can't. It makes it even more strange since it actually doesnt affects all files. Right now I can access some files on my TV share but others I can't. Ive tried to search the forum but havent come across anybody with similar issues, any advice or tips? /Niklas

Got the Nexus Douvletwin to use with 2x3,5" drives. One question; I´ve mounted the 2 drives on the doubletwin, but how should I attach the Doubletwin in the ODD space? I cant seem to find to make if fit and snap onto something. Its like the width in the ODD is a bit to wide... On some pics the drives are mounted with mirrored towards each other. The first one normally but the other one upside down to get more space between the disks. But if I do that, they will not fit as far as I can see..

OK, here i go again. I already got 4 HDD in the "regular" bays as well as a SSD for cache. If i were to add 2 x 3,5" HDD I would need a total of 7 SATA connections. I currently got 6 prepared including the external eSATA to SATA. Would would be a good working expansion card to use for this? /Niklas You might need another set of HDD screws if the Nexus doesn't include any. I've only got 4 left in the door with 4 HDDS in their caddies and 1 in the hot swap bay (which I used the ODD screws to mount in the top bay). Yes there's a space below the ODD bay that you could easily slip an SSD or 2.5" HDD into.

Would i be able to just buy this kit and nothing else to fit 2 x3,5 drives? Is there any room left to have an 2,5" SSD below the Nexus Double Twin? /Niklas Many of us use the Nexus Double Twin to add 2x 3.5" drives:

I´m planning to adda some sort of HDD bay to the 5,25 slot in this machine. I see that many here are using the Icy Box hot-swap but is anyone using the Silverstone FP 55. This is supposed to accomodate 1x3,5" as well as 2x2,5" http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=272&area=en Any ideas or comments on this before i order one? /Niklas

I was under the assumption that a cahche drive would help if I were to run Sickbeard and Couchpotato, but you tell me... I didnt have a specific 2,5" drive in mind since I just got the machine and started to investigate how I would get the best storage and performance from it. I do have a SSD in a XBMC/Openelec machine today that I might switch to a regular USB drive instead, that way I could use the SSD as cache

Hmm, I was planning on using a 2,5" SATA drive for the cache and using the 5 available 3,5" spaces for storage. Adding a 3,5" instead of a 2,5" might be doable but I´m not sure about heat issues then...

I´m a new unRAID user and got the HP Microserver N36L as a startup machine. I´m now thinking on how to fill the HDD slots in the best way. FRom what I understand a cahche drive is to prefer? I´m planning on using the server for Sickbeard, SABnzbd and Couchpotato besides the storage itself. Will i gain anything on a cache drive and if so what would ypu recommend and what size? /Niklas

Cant seem to be able to read the files Jens posted on how to flash the BIOS. Since I´m a complete noob when it comes to this I´m gonna need all the guides I can get I know there are some guides on FW from early 2011 but I thought Id try and get the latest BIOS from "thebay"... /Niklas
