Apologies - yes it DOES work. I used a film that was direct playing, Tried again with a 4K film (mkv) that needed transcoding - success!!

Maybe I should have been more specific Have followed all the steps in this topic Can't get it to work any logs to look at to give a clue?

I am getting nowhere with Plex & HW encoding - the iGPU is showing zero load when playing a video. Can anyone please assist? Unraid 6.12.1 running on i5-7400(which IS quick-sync enabled) From CLI: intel_gpu_top -L card0 Intel Kabylake (Gen9) pci:vendor=8086,device=5912,card=0 └─renderD128 which version of Plex is supposed to be installed? there are 6 versions on the Apps page I have the official (Plex) version installed

No, nothing is broken at the moment, I'm just trying to prevent a future problem.

There is no 'after the problem occurs' - there is constant (24/7) writing to the array, which is something I want to stop, because of future HD failure due to too many writes.

Unraid OS 6.11.5 I didn't think about this issue when I set up my array. I have UniFi Video writing to drive 1 (so also to the parity disk) UniFi Video is writing 24/7 to the array, thus hammering 2 disks. Sooner or later, the disks are going to reach their max writes and fail. One possibility: Move disk 1 to an unassigned device, thus saving the parity disk, but loosing disk protection. That disk is a WD Purple, so is designed for 24/7 operation. Any advice please??

Thanks - will try that

Just cleared all my data, so all that's on the drives are VMs and docker files

My appdata share is the default - automatically split any directory as required. tried a new share, that didn't work if i alter the appdata share, will maybe break the docker

I have a docker (vaultwarden) split over 2 disks (/mnt/user/appdata/vaultwarden) how can I get all the data onto 1 disk and ensure it stays there? I need it on 1 disk, so I can run a script to back it up. Can I - just move the data onto one disk, then delete the data off the other? Should I make a new share, set to only one disk, and move all the data onto that Will any of the above break the docker? p.s. Tried making a new share and moving all the data onto it - that didn't work - lost all the users! So put it all back.

I have 7 disks in my array disk 4 is empty and I want to remove it. Disk 7 has VMs on it. If I reconfigure the array, disk 7 will now be disk 6 Do I do anything to tell unraid where those VMs are, or does it sort its own life out?

Ah, OK thanks

I replaced disk 6 with this one: disk 6 ST2000VN004-2E4164_Z52C16FV The MAIN page shows a historical device with the same details: dev1 ST2000VN004-2E4164_Z52C16FV Can I safely delete this historical device?

I am trying to tidy my *very* messy system. 1. I have existing VMs - 2 of them are split over two drives. How do I combine them/back them up to move? 2. I have 6 (2TB) disks - I intend to use 1-3 for VMs and 4-6 for data would it make sense to make a "VM" share (over the first 3 disks) then use that share when creating a new VM or just assign disk 1,2 or 3 when creating the VM Thanks
