June 30, 201115 yr Ok not really..... So I have been seeing alot posted here on SABnzbd, Sick Beard and Couch Potato so I decided to download it onto my laptop while I am away to see what this is all about. My Laptop has now not been turned off in the last 4 days!! These programs are simply AMAZING and I hate you all for introducing me to them. Do you have any idea how much storage space this is gonna use?? Do you? Really? (yeah I know you do) This is gonna blow my storage estimates right out of the water. UGH! My UnRaid is still working off of the free version 4.7. Is there a problem running these programs off of an array drive or do I really need a cache drive for this to work?

You can run it off an array drive, but the drive, and the parity drive, will not spin down while all downloading it going on.
June 30, 201115 yr Author will everything but the cache drive spin down if it is installed that way until the mover script kicks in that is.

July 1, 201115 yr will everything but the cache drive spin down if it is installed that way until the mover script kicks in that is. Yes, it should Yes, it will. 95% of the time, just my cache drive is spun up, so my 6-drive system consumes less than 30W.
July 1, 201115 yr Author Thanks guys I am going to wait till I buy a UnRaid license and install a cache drive to move this application over to the server. Was initally planning on buying the Plus key, somewhere down the road when I needed it. In steps sickbeard, guess I need it now. Oh no wait I have discovered 720/1080 versions on sickbeard....I am burning thru disk space at an ALARMING rate. Might as well just get pro now.
July 1, 201115 yr You can also use an out-of-array drive (preferably formatted to ReiserFS), not just the cache drive ,for the applications.

Ha way above my pay grade at this point I only read briefly on out of array drives. What is the benifit of this aside from not having to purchase an UnRaid Key?
July 1, 201115 yr Ha way above my pay grade at this point I only read briefly on out of array drives. What is the benifit of this aside from not having to purchase an UnRaid Key? You can use any old HDD for this - if you have one lying around then you have it for free. Not buying the unraid key for now IS THE BENEFIT.

Ha way above my pay grade at this point I only read briefly on out of array drives. What is the benifit of this aside from not having to purchase an UnRaid Key? processes running on a non-protected drive will not prevent a clean shutdown. unRAID will not be able to stop if a protected drive is busy running a process. Otherwise, on a protected drive, OR on the cache drive, you have to terminate the processes first. When writing to the drive, only it needs to be spinning rather than it and the parity drive, so more "green" (less drives spinning).

Joe So in your opinion would it be best to run this on an out of array drive? If it is running on the cache drive I understand I would have to terminate the processes to do a clean shutdown, easily handled via unmenu. But what about if the UPS needs to shut it down? If it is running on the cache drive would it not shutdown cleanly?
July 2, 201115 yr The best place IMHO is the cache drive. That's where I run them, and the powerdown script takes care of the active python processes in a normal or UPS power down process
July 7, 201114 yr Author Oh yeah, this is gonna be BAAAAAD space wise. I don't even want to think of where this is going to lead. At least I will have to stop shortly when my laptop hard drive is full Oh and I have not even installed couch potato yet YIKES!
