Hello

 

I've just update from V5 to V6.3.5

Looks like everything is fine, I can access the content on my TV

But when I type Tower or Tower:8080 in the browser, I can't access the WebGUI anymore......

 

Thanks

Start by going through the WIKI on upgrading from Version 5 to version 6.  It can be found here:

 

        https://wiki.lime-technology.com/Upgrading_to_UnRAID_v6

 

Double check your plugins to make sure that you have culled out all of them that are 32 bit.  

It works...I had to type http:/tower and could get in

Now, I just type Tower and it works 

I run a very basic server, no plugins or dockers

I will have to add the following line in my go file to shut down the server every night at 12:30 (I don't keep it 24/7)

echo "/sbin/powerdown" | at 00:30

 

Also, what are the steps to replace my current flash drive by another one, much smaller (Sandisk Cruzer fit 4Gb)?

 

Thanks

Basically, you need to get the new Flash Drive and follow the instructions on this page:

 

      https://lime-technology.com/replace-key/

 

 A couple of details not on the page.  Shutdown your server.  Copy all of the files to the NEW Flash Drive.  Run the make_bootable.bat (or the appropriate make_bootable script for you PC) on the new Flash Drive.  Put new Flash Drive into server and restart your server.   Follow instructions.

OK, thanks

few more questions:

-) looks like the command to stop the array at 12:30am did not work....Any idea why? It was working just fine on my previous version

-) I've just launched a parity check. My parity drive is 2TB. Just after I clicked on "Start", it showed 452 days, but right after it was showing 10 hours. After 1 hour, it now shows 22 days, at an estimated speed of 975 KB/sec.....!!! Do you know why it could be so slow? I'm sure there is something wrong somewhere......

 

Thanks

powerdown is technically deprecated and been replaced by poweroff

 

/sbin/poweroff

/usr/local/sbin/powerdown

Post diagnostics  (Tools - Diagnostics)

Which file(s) do you need from the Diagnostic zip file?

It's easiest to post the entire zip file.

Nothing particularly pops out.  (Except that you've got a couple of drives attached to the motherboard that are operating as PATA instead of SATA.  Check your BIOS for settings to change that)

 

Best guesses are a combination of 

• Very slow CPU
• Only a single core CPU 
• 2Gig Memory Installed (which is barely functional with unRaid)

OK, I will have to hook up a screen and keyboard to look at the Bios

I'm at 25% after 11 hours.............!!!!

What motherboard/cpu/memory would you recommend for my needs:

-) Vanilla server

-) Low power consumption

-) Cheap.................

 

Thanks

You're running an AMD Sempron 1100, a 9 year old single core chip that gets 436 Passmarks.  unRAID 6 really needs a dual core chip, 2GB of RAM and 1,000 Passmarks as a minimum.   You'd be better off with 4GB of RAM and at least 2,000 Passmarks.  You could potentially find another AM2 chip and stick with your current motherboard with a RAM upgrade, or get something newer.  You could get by with an Intel Pentium or Celeron, Intel is generally better on power consumption than AMD these days.

yeah...I know. Time to upgrade apparently

Any recommendation for CPU+mobo, reasonably priced?

 

Are you in the US, France or elsewhere?  I ask because prices and parts availability vary by region. 

I'm in the US.......Michigan 

Have a look at my signature.  The CPU, RAM and MB were about $260US in Dec 2106 and Jan 2017 for each server.  (If you need more disks then six, I would suggest the LSI, IMB and Dell used boards.  They are less then $100US.)

Can't see your signature.....

There is a setting in your profile if you want to see user signatures or not.

Found it...thanks

My local Microcenter has the I3-7100 Kabiy Lake for $110

Cheapest option seems to be the Celeron G3930 for $40

I will have to look at their motherboards.............

The i3-7100 would be a huge upgrade over what you have now.  Actually, the Celeron G3930 would be a pretty huge upgrade over what you have now as well .

Either one will provide you with enough Hp for all basic server functions.  The Celeron will allow a single stream of plex transcoding while the i3  will do two.  I would not try to run any VM's on either one.  I would definitely get 8GB of RAM.  It provides for a bit of future proofing at very little cost.  

Thank for your comment....

For the motherboard, and following the same "concept" (aka cheap), what would be your suggestions:

-) mATX or mini ITX

-) 6 SATA with 1 slot to add another sata controller

 

Thanks

I won't worry about the form factor except to make sure that it will fit inside the case.  Make sure that it has all of the ports (both USB and SATA) and slots that you think it will ever need.  I personally think it is ridiculous to go with a board intended for a server that has only four SATA ports to save a couple of bucks but folks have.  Finding one with more than six ports is usually an expansive upgrade.  

Found this one on Newegg......
