trurl Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 The 1 you included is part of the device name. You need to specify the partition. What do you get from the command line with this? lsblk Quote Link to comment

Ryzen on Linux can lock up due to issues with c-states, and while this should mostly affect 1st gen Ryzen there are reports that 2nd and even 3rd gen can be affected in some cases, make sure bios is up to date, then look for "Power Supply Idle Control" (or similar) and set it to "typical current idle" (or similar). More info here: https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/prereleases/670-rc1-system-hard-lock-r354/ Also many of those servers seem to be running overclocked RAM, this is known to cause stability issues and even data corruption on some Ryzen/Threadripper systems, even if no errors are detected during memtest, server and overclock don't go well together, respect max RAM speed according to config and CPU listed on the tables below. Note: Ryzen based APUs don't follow the same generation convention compared to regular desktop CPUs and are generally one generation behind, so for example Ryzen 3200G is a 2nd Gen CPU: 1st gen Ryzen: 2nd gen Ryzen: 3rd gen (3xxx) and Zen3 (5xxx) Ryzen : Threadripper 1st Gen: Threadripper 2nd Gen: Threadripper 3rd Gen: I have changed to DD4-3200 Quote Link to comment
krisha Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Regarding the cache replacement procedure as described here in the FAQ: I had problems with the mover moving some symbolic links of docker data, due to: - wrong permissions. This was solved using 'New permissions' on just the cache drive - symbolic links to content in docker. Those were never moved. I finally used the plugin 'CA Backup / Restore Appdata' to backup and restore the docker data. The procedure mentioned in the FAQ I followed any way (Backup before moving, restore after moving back), but think this is not really necessary. Maybe it's possible to extend the FAQ post by those 2 hints. Quote Link to comment
gellux Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Similarly to above, I am also replacing my cache and have followed the instructions. I am left with a small amount of appdata on the cache after Moving. it's a lot of Plex metadata, can i literally just copy it to my laptop, replace the drive and copy it back? or should I do what above has said and do a full back up of appdata and then just ignore what's left on my soon-to-be-ex cache? thanks.

rwalla Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Hi there, some links in the FAQ don't work anymore: ironically the links to this thread (FAQ Feedback) give me a "file not found"??? And the Link "How does parity work?" returns 404. I think there was at least one other link that didn't work, but I forgot which one..sry. Edited April 23, 2023 by rwalla Quote Link to comment
John_in_NZ Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 After an unintetional FAQ thread cluttering incident, I've been directed here. My little bit of feedback is that, it would be nice, if there was a warning notice above the FAQ answer list to tell folks that the links are to the old server, and to you can find more info [here] ... 🙂 Quote Link to comment
projectsunset Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 FYI, a large amount of the links in the OP (every URL linking to wiki) are 404. Has the wiki moved to another location? I've looked in the Docs FAQ and Legacy FAQ, and don't see all the topics from OP. Quote Link to comment
