UD is up to date. Hit refresh in the UD section of the Main page. (Got Success notification) Tried un-mounting and remounting Un-mounting disconnecting, reconnecting mounting Drives are definitely spun up as I moved a test file in both to check (ball is green) after that still says can not read attributes / capabilities for both disks. still shows sdi, sdj. if I click Download smart report it just turns that page black. I am getting drive temp, read / write speeds capacity, usage. what should I try next? Edit: Another thing to note is although I have these drives mapped to a Docker container, and the mapping has been working fine for a week... the Container can no longer see these two drives. Edit: Reboot fixed it.

Got it. Wish I knew how to show that. Well looks like my previous issue is back. I unmounted two 8TB Easystore USB drives. When I reconnected them they showed up as sdi and sdj. Were previously Dev 3 and Dev 4. Now when I click on the device name (sdi, sdj) no information shows up. No attributes, no Capabilities, no SMART info etc. This is for both the drives. But I can them with smartctl. It briefly worked after I updated to 6.9.2. Thoughts?

how did you go about doing the update?

Well, thought I was safe from the sync issues but alas. Sync status: Not synced Not synced or not connected to peers Current Blockchain Status: Not Synced. Looks like Docker on unRAID is a no-go for Chia. If you are putting resources into this I'd be checking your status often.

question about an NVMe drive that is not showing up in atop. Goal is to watch I/O and get stats. Said drive is running on an PCIe adapter. Drive works fine. Shows in the unraid GUI. Any thoughts why it's not showing in atop? I've tried expanding the rows of LVM and DSK devices. It's just not there, in atop this drive:

Are you running the container with network type Host or Bridge?

I'm moving everything to a dedicated machine as well so I can get my unRAID server back Have you tried the introducers to help with syncing?

@Gnomuz good points. I'll eventually move my farming plots to a segregated VLAN. Question: what network type are you using for the Chia container? Host or Bridge? Also, how do you like the Asrock Rack X470D4U2-2T ? I just picked up a 5900x yesterday and was looking at the PCIe Gen4 version of that board (X570D4U-2L2T). Do you feel like you have enough expansion for your use? Would love to hear your thoughts.

has anyone checked their number of FULL_NODE peers? (docker exec -it chia venv/bin/chia show -s -c) I was showing ~7 and I've since forwarded port 8444 to my server. I'm now seeing ~ 14 peers. I've seen on Reddit that some people have ~40 peers showing. Is there something further I need to do to increase this number? And should I be running the container in host or bridge mode?

Thanks that was helpful. I was able to download it. I noticed it's located in /var/lib/docker/containers/..... Doesn't that mean it's held in memory? And being that it's 1.6GB I'm thinking that's taking up a decent amount of space. Is there a way to assign the log file a different directory? Edit: The log at that location is only showing INFO. It gives no information about the plotting phases. Which is what I was hoping for. I'm assuming there is a log somewhere that will allow you to analyze your plotting status. See how long each phase takes etc. How can I log this?

Thanks. Is there a way to download this file so I can look at it in a text editor? or do you know how I can navigate to the log file? When I use those commands it prints thousands of lines and crashes my terminal.

Has anyone found a solution for adding Plotman or Swar to the the container? or would it just be installed and run from within the unRAID OS?

the clock chia is using is not synced to my timezone. But I'm still syncing. The time shows UTC in the logs. I thought that was normal.

Something weird is going on with my logs. I changed my config.yaml file to the following: logging: &id001 log_filename: log/debug.log log_level: INFO log_maxfilesrotation: 7 log_stdout: true I can see INFO items in the log when I'm open the log via the container's icon. But when I look at debug.log there is nothing there other than the inital warnings before I made changes to the .yaml file. Is there another place I should be looking for the logs?

What is the general consensus on opening router port 8444 to your container for this? Do we feel the Chia software is secure enough? I haven't opened the port on my router yet but I'm getting fewer peers as those who do. Thoughts?

correct. you just type the words with one space. No punctuation. Like: dog fish bird house car

did you say you were farming in Ubuntu? Have you tried to disable the firewall (UFW) or open a port 8444? I think I read about that in another thread.

I've been using tmux and sleep successfully for this. What I do: Open a terminal and start a tmux Make that tmux terminal split screen with Ctrl and b then % (this saves screen real estate!) You can swap between the split screens with Ctrl and b then <arrow key> I do this a few times to make ~ 8 screens (4 windows split) Then manually start the plotting in each pane with: (first one) docker exec -it chia venv/bin/chia plots create -b 3200 -r 4 -n 1 -t /plotting -d /plots (second one) sleep 70m && docker exec -it chia venv/bin/chia plots create -b 3200 -r 4 -n 1 -t /plotting -d /plots sleep 140m && docker exec -it chia venv/bin/chia plots create -b 3200 -r 4 -n 1 -t /plotting -d /plots sleep 210m && docker exec -it chia venv/bin/chia plots create -b 3200 -r 4 -n 1 -t /plotting -d /plots etc. etc. I'm still experimenting with my parallel stagger. Your source, destination and time delay will vary. tip: you can scroll up in a split pane with Ctrl and b then [ Of course it would be easier to use a plot manager which i'll set up soon.

Have you looked at Swar at all? I was going to install that tonight. Maybe I should give plotman a go?

When i run a chia farm summary it returns Farming status: Farming. And chia show -s -c returns Current Blockchain Status: Full Node Synced. chia wallet show returns Sync status: Synced Does this mean that I'm properly connected to the "netspace"? even though I have not opened any ports on my router.

Has anyone compared the performance on unRAID vs a bare metal distro like Ubuntu server?

I've made these changes to my config.yaml but I'm still not seeing any progress in my debug.log, only many warnings and errors. I've been getting spammed with these two errors: 2021-05-11T19:38:45.339 full_node chia.full_node.full_node: WARNING Wasn't able to add transaction with id....., status 3 error: Err.DOUBLE_SPEND 2021-05-11T19:46:01.312 full_node chia.full_node.full_node: ERROR Consensus error 124, not disconnecting Any idea why I see no status of plotting updates in the log? or what these errors mean? I've been successfully plotting (6 plots) prior to this.

I have this up and running although I didn't use the CA template. I have a few questions: - How do I view logs? and how do I view progress of ongoing plotting? - when i do a: I get: Why is the Blockchain Status not synced? Do i have to open a port on my router or forward a port to this Docker container?

ok, looks like it issued the new cert. I just removed the "server" domain and changed to True. Applied. Then re-added "server" changed back to false and applied. Thanks

I found in the log that it was not resolving the DNS for server.mydomain.com (example). I didnt have "server" added as a Cname. Only Nextcloud. I assume it needs this for the cert renewal. I So I added this within the Namecheap DNS section. (sorry I don't know the proper terminology here) Now is there a way to manually renew or I just wat for the chron job at 2AM again? I confirmed that restarting the Swag container does not renew the cert.
