October 8, 201114 yr Hi all. I'm a new user, and trying to get started. I've got the box built, and preclearing of 4 brand new drives finished last night. no errors reported, but my report is below, in case it needs to be reviewed. I precleared (4) 3TB drives, and it took about 45 hours! I was thinking closer to 30, but such is life. I noticed my read speeds kept getting slower over time. I assume this is because it starts from the outside of this disk and moves towards the center, which would go slower. however, this is just a guess I then added 2 of the disks to the array, then formatted them. All okay so far, I think. I then tried adding users, and discovered that they must be all lower case; okay, fixed. I then tried adding user shares. It would not accept them/allow it to be setup. I messed around a bit, then discovered that I had to go to the "Settings" tab (I had already set it to "yes"), then I also had to add the disk#s to "Included disk(s)". I tried adding them to the "User share" setup screen, that didn't work Now, I have finally added a "video" share, and I didn't specify to include, nor exclude any drives from the User share setup screen, and then it setup the share. Okay, progress. I went into windows to see if the share was visible, and it is!! Both disk1 and disk2 show a video folder on them. However, disk1 and disk2 being visible is not what I'd like. I have no desire to share these disks directly to windows. I ONLY want to allow/show the user shares. I don't want to deal directly with the drives themselves in windows, I really only want to see the shares. Is this possible? how? Also, while I'm at it, how is my logic in establishing the shares? I'm sure many of you have years using unRAID, and have tried lots of things that didn't work so well, and can maybe save me from silly mistakes. I should mention that I have read up on unRAID for HOURS on end (it took 45 hours to preclear, what do you think I did with much of that time waiting?), and have found LOTS of great information, but it all kind of runs together until you actually get to put it to work, which I'm now starting to do. Okay, here is how I had the RAID5 setup Backup (80GB) *Drivers *HTPC Tools *Calibration *Codecs-Filters-Utilities *Programs Documents (2GB) *Books *Comedy *Manuals Music (375GB) *Podcasts *to be cleaned Photos (70GB) *Adult *to be cleaned *Comedy *Traveling *Canada *Mexico *Baja *Geurrero *Panama Recorded TV (size varies, will likely use a 2-500gb drive, only for DVR) Videos (2TB) *Adult *Comedy *Documentaries *Formula 1 *Season *Movies *Television The only compelling reason I can think of to try to keep Documents or Music all on one physical drive, is just to use the one drive upon playback, saving energy vs. spinning up more drives. As far as structure, or finding something later, it makes little difference which drive the actual file is sitting on, correct? Is there any other reason, or thoughts on if I should care much about including or excluding drives to/from user shares? I know little about the mechanics of disk storage, but it seems I'd be better balancing the data across drives, vs. putting most/all on one drive until it's mostly full. Assuming I run into no major issues with unRAID, i see no reason to ever do anything but add/exchange for larger drives, all of which is handled by unRAID, so the physical location seems less important. However, the playback reason does warrant some consideration. Movies is the bulk of the storage, and probably should span multiple drives (only 2 for now), but as a guide suggested, set the split to keep all files of a movie together. I believe that's a split level 2 for my example above, or does that not let the movies folder be split, forcing movies and everything under it to stay on one drive, which I do not want? I figure I'll only include disk1 for Music, and only include disk2 for all the other main folders/shares. But, is this a good idea, or not? Is there a way to 'prefer' they stay on those disks, but if they need room to expand they 'could' move onto another disk? If so, how? Finally, how do I handle permissions for subfolders of the shares? I want to share all photos and videos, except one subfolder under each. *I* want access to that subfolder, but I don't want guests/others to have access. Specifically, I don't want them visible in windows on my network. thanks in advance for any help/guidance. I'm also trying to finish up the "my build" post I started, but now that preclearing is done, I'm focused on the shares and getting my data off of 2 external drives afap.

October 8, 201114 yr Author I don't want to deal directly with the drives themselves in windows, I really only want to see the shares. Is this possible? how? I clicked on the drive under Main, then changed "Export:" to "Yes (hidden)" and that removed it from view in Windows; excellent. I'm almost ready to start copying data to the shares. I have not added a parity drive to the array yet. Any other tricks to get a usb 2.0 external drive to copy fast and accurately to the unRAID box?
October 8, 201114 yr Author Is a transfer rate of 4 MB/s a reasonable expectation when moving off of a USB 2.0 connected to windows, thru GB Lan to unRAID?
October 9, 201114 yr Is a transfer rate of 4 MB/s a reasonable expectation when moving off of a USB 2.0 connected to windows, thru GB Lan to unRAID? USB disks are typically not very fast.
October 9, 201114 yr Author I restarted everything, and it eventually stabilized at 31MB/s. Seems that's the lower end of "normal" for USB 2.0. Weird thing is that if I start another/simultaneous copy procedure, it will start off at about 18MB/s, then drop down to ~12MB/s over a few minutes, and the original will drop down to ~25MB/s over about 5 minutes, and if a third copy is started, they all end up at about 35MB/s combined. i.e. ~10% faster than an individual transfer. I'm sure there is a reason, I don't know what it might be I'm still copying, and it looks like it will be tomorrow before it's all done. What is a good program/method to verify all is correctly duplicated? I've used SyncToy for years, and it's always done a good job or keeping my files/backups in sync. however, when it tried to read the files on unRAID, it takes FOREVER, in fact I gave up and killed it 3 times after waiting over an hour for a scan that took under 2 minutes on the windows drive. Is there some reason it doesn't like reading from unRAID? Is there anything I can do to 'fix' it? What other program/procedure/method would one use to verify data integrity after the copy?
October 11, 201114 yr Author thanks for the link on moving the files, but I was about 80% done by then. I never found a suitable solution to SyncToy in reading the drive shares, but I'll take a look and see if they were actually the drive shares and not the user shares. if so, I'd love to find a solution to the time it takes (I assume all attempts) to access and read the drives. it does seem to be folder dependent, without any actual evidence to back that up. Anyway, it took 45 hours to preclear, a couple of days work to copy the data back from the external drives. several hours to find the few discrepancies and verify byte to byte duplicates of the data, then another day for parity, then all day today for the parity check. But, I got this... Parity is valid. Last checked on Tue Oct 11 17:25:02 2011 CDT, finding 0 errors. that seems good. I haven't checked any logs, so I could be missing stuff, so if anyone has any suggestions in what to check to triple-check my setup, I'd be happy to do it It's been a long (somewhat stressful) week, but it does feel good to have a working system. I found a post about modifying the go script to change the packet? size. I'll give that a try in a bit, but I'm not wanting to tempt fate too much at this point. Any suggestions on changes/updates worth the effort? thanks again for the help
