Hello! I also have some feedback. It is nice to be able do perform snapshots, however I see there is no scheduling function for snapshots. It would be nice if it could be scheduled. I see there are other plugins and scripts for such, but I think it would be nice if it was just part of ZFS Master.

It would seem that this was the issue, guess it’s some quark specific with the ATV Plex accessing the server and it needing to read something from the docker.img file. Is odd that it only happens with the ATV though… This command does nothing by the way, I run it in the Unraid terminal and it just does not return anything ever, even while I’m deliberately coping a multi GB file via SMB.

But I will move it over, but don’t think it will change my issue, I believe I tried this in the past.

Not from what I have seen, I have had disks not spin up for days when I have not used plex or the like (with it still running in the background of course)

From what I was reading while researching what is stored where by default that is the storage location for VM templates and Docker images. And is only accessed when making a VM from a template, Starting a docker (once started it’s no longer accessed) and when updating/adding Docker images. Am I wrong? I have not noticed any random disk spinning up having it on the array VS the cache.

Yes, same here, browsing does not spin up the disk, only when starting media and this “bug” does. Here. Nope, just media files, cover art is embedded into the media files, subtitles and the like as well. No “Optimized Versions” of media either, though if I were to have such I would have them in there own share. I have been burned in the past by the likes of Plex and Jellyfin corrupting or deleting media files in the past, so my media share is read only. I do suspect this is a plex bug. I have done a random experiment in the past where when I got up I just power cut the Apple TV without waking it and it did not spin up the disk on the NAS on wake. e3l1-unraid-diagnostics-20250614-1710.zip

Hello! I have a slightly annoying issue. Before I go into the issue let me explain what I do that seems to cause the issue. One of the things I use Plex for is “watching” media while going to sleep. That way it can play long without using any internet. Plex eventually will time out the playback basically asking if your still watching by not autoplaying the next episode. Once this happens my Apple TV will then eventually go to sleep on it’s own. Whenever it is next that I turn on the Apple TV Plex will still be open but on the Plex home menu just as if you have just opened the app. At this exact moment the disk on the NAS that holds the last media file played will spin up, but nothing is actually accessed (File Activity and Active stream shows no activity) even if you don’t interact with the plex app at all and close it to do something else that disk still got spun up for no reason that I can tell… So the issue that may be entirely a Plex issue is that when waking the Apple TV to the plex app a disk on the NAS gets randomly spin up. Whats also interesting is that browsing media does not in any way spin up disks, only when media begins playback and this issue do any disks spin up. (Well and scanning media, that I have set to manual) The only thing I can think of is that Plex for a split second when it starts back up on the Apple TV thinks it’s trying to play the last media it played, but before the disk actually finishes spinning up Plex decides it isn’t so nothing is read… Any ideas on what could be done? This is one of the times I really do wish that Unraid had a legitimate READ cache. (As in another copy, not a move, of the data is stored somewhere else like an SSD or a RAM disk) I do know of that one plugin the moves the video file to the cache while plex has it open, but I don’t know if this would even work for my issue, nor do I want it to be a move, just a copy, AKA READ Cache… Also it should be noted that Plex only has read only access to my media storage. And all other files related to Plex are on my redundant SSD cache. I entirely understand that this is probably a Plex issue not an Unraid one.

Well still waiting on some guidance here…

It’s a MINISFORUM BD790i, perhaps, but shouldn’t I still be getting basic video out? VGA 2D mode?

Hello! I have been trying to pass the Raphael IGPU on my 7945HX CPU (only GPU) to a VM so that I can use the NAS as a TV box as well. Ideally I would like to run Steam OS in the end, From what I have read the IGPU should be supported by Steam OS but I digress. At the moment I'm just trying to get it to work with any OS... I have assigned the IGPU to the VM, and when the VM is started the HDMI out does black from the normal Unraid Terminal. But the VM never shows video... If I assign a second VNC GPU and boot Manjaro it can see the IGPU, but it only sees it as an unknown ATI device... So it would appear that it is being passed but does not work? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In this case it should not be an issue. I have VHD I would like to move to the NAS that are 512GB in size (deceased relatives system archives), and the array has 16TB drives that are basically empty... Even not setting this setting the error still occurs. If the array is involved the error can occur even if the array is a secondary location. If I make a share that is just on my cache I can copy over even the 512GB VHDs with ease, then change the share to have the array as a secondary and invoke the mover and it works. But if the array is involved with the share AT ALL there is a change of it throwing this error when SMB copying... There is something very odd happening with SMB and the way the array works.

It's very large set. 513GB. a 64GB VHD should not be a problem.

You have it backwards. Using the cache is perfect, never has issues. its just if the array is involved at all the SMB error happens.

I am also having this issue completely at random. Does not matter the size of the file but is worse with larger files. I have been trying to copy this 64GB VHD for like a week and it just does not work... I have tried everything I can think of and also know its not a client side/windows issue as the other two NAS machines on my network (sysnology and TrueNAS) do not have this issue. I have noticed that yes if your messing around withing the Unraid UI it will cause ANY SMB traffic to fail but this can be expected especially if your changing shares or users. What is also interesting is if I retry at the end every file that threw the error the transfer at the end will think the file already exists and asks if you want to overwrite. I have also noticed that the error is only thrown when the array is interacted with. If the share has any interaction with the array (this includes if the array is secondary) the error can occur. But if the share is only in a cache no error.

I'm guessing by all the "No" that's its not finding anything... Sensor-Detect Output.txt
