Thanks for the info and quick response. I'm just learning that onboard SAS controllers can be flashed, and I've already found a couple tutorials... seems no different as if you were flashing a card.

Should I be concerned with the onboard SAS, or should it run just as well had I bought a card running in IT mode?

After looking at the compatibility list and scouring the forums, and reddit, I haven't come across anyone talking about this motherboard. The reason why it caught my attention are the SAS3 ports and a good amount of PCIe ports. So, I'd like to make sure this board will work.

Yes. At one point, the containers moved files to a folder within 'media', but not anymore.

I'm usually moving stuff from my Windows laptop by doing a cut/paste in Windows Explorer

I'm experiencing the same for Version 6.9.2 2021-04-07 I have a `Downloads` folder set to use a cache pool. When I move stuff from it to a `Media` share, that `Media` folder is using the cache pool, too. The `Media` share is NOT configured to use any cache pool.

I could, but there are dependencies that, frankly, I'm too lazy to address. But that would be the best way to address it, yes.

well that answers that question I think I might be ok if I make the root `Media` share part of the cache pool as most of my reads/writes are going to the "high_access" folders. And I'll have mover empty the cache pool if it gets over a specified size.

Hello! Let's say I have a root share called `Media.` All of the contents (up to this point) are moved here; however, there are many folders in 'Media,' so no caching of any sort is enabled. Within the 'Media' folder, I have two folders within that share that are written to on a daily basis, and can be accessed multiple times by several people. I was thinking of enabling caching for these two 'high access' folders, but I wasn't sure if a share within share would cause any issues when it comes to enabling caching. In summary, I'd like to confirm: \Media [root share, no cache enabled, no change] \Media\high_acces1 [potential new share, enable caching ok?] \Media\high_access2 [potential new share, enable caching ok?]

Great point; totally forgot about the 2TB max capacity

I'm considering building a backup system for my current unRAID setup. I've seen systems with 3GBps hardware; I thought about buying them since I think I could save some money vs 6 or 12GBps systems. Transfer speed wouldn't matter all that much since the backups would be a differential (what I added from last backup). Yes; the initial backup would be slow... In short, why else would I not want to go with a system that is 3Gbps for the drives?

Just an FYI - I read the same thing... that I didn't have to update the firmware to P20. But, my drives weren't detected when I fired up unRAID. After updating the card to the P20 firmware, I was able to see the drives

Yup; with an LSI SAS9201-16e

I've outgrown my server and have bought an external chassis to house existing drives (and new ones down the road). I've purchased another controller that will be configured for JBOD mode. Are there any issues/concerns moving existing drives to a new controller? I think I need to ensure whatever drive # it was in the pool stays the same; same for the parity drives.

I mistakenly started the array and it looks like the drive contains some of the folders in their original folder. I also have a `lost+found` folder that appears to have valid data. might be a painful process, but I can comb through it. As a precaution, I'm moving the data off to another drive just in case this drive takes a dive. Thanks for the guidance.

Thanks - I had to use the -L option. I saw it did a ton of repairs (looking through webui), and some of it displays directory names I'd rather not share. Here's the jest of it. If you need the entire file, I'd be happy to share in a non-public manner. Now the disk is stating it's unmountable: no filesystem. I'm hesitant to mount and wipe it out without confirmation that is, in fact, the next step to hopefully recovering it.

One of my drives was failing and I added a new drive to the array (currently getting cleared). The goal was to move content from the failing drive to the new one using the unbalance app. The failing drive says its contents is emulated but I can't see any of the existing files that I know are on that drive. Diagnostics are attached - please let me know if anything else is needed. nas-diagnostics-20210301-2109.zip
