pras1011 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Maybe something that help people convert from zfs to xfs? Quote Link to comment
Glassed Silver Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 How about easy zero-conf (mDNS) networking? What I mean is: unRAID already announces itself in the network using mDNS as "Tower" (http://tower.local) How about adding just barely enough reverse proxy functionality to unRAID so I can from the docker and maybe even VM tab assign subdomains to my services? Not as a replacement for IP:Port, but to compliment it... e.g.: plex.tower.local ubuntu-vm.tower.local nextcloud.tower.local etc... Yes, that would be local access only, https with self-signed certs, why not, not really necessary to me, but I don't want to say no. The reason of my frustration? Well... If you really want to know, any other path is really, really annoying: Click Cheers! Quote Link to comment

Yes, though you'd still want devices with deterministic read zeros after trim support, since when support does get implemented it will likely only work with those devices. Quote Link to comment
CS01-HS Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Smart caching. Pull frequently-accessed files into cache dynamically. Saves power, wear and tear on the array, reduces noise (if your fans vary with HDD temps.) Quote Link to comment

Sorry I am a noob ? What does this mean ELI5, please. :) I run NVM drives on a 4Drives x 4Lanes PCIe Adapter via the UD Plugin. What must I worry about ? TIA Quote Link to comment

The feature request has to do with using SSD in a parity-raid style array. Quote Link to comment

Just to be clear, I was referring to when trim support is added to SSDs on the array, any device without deterministic trim support would still work, just probably wouldn't be trimmed.

Issacc Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Ummm...Wanna something about AMDGPU-Pro Support. I have been working with it on slackware for weeks. But until now the vaapi isn't fully worked. So can we have a cheap solution for Plex and something like that? Good Work! 1 Quote Link to comment
sverker670 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I don't know if this has been discussed earlier but, a feature I have been waiting for a while is. The ability to easely schedule a docker update for a later time when there is less chance of disrupting someone bingewatching on Plex or Emby. Or any other container that sees a lot use during the day. Quote Link to comment
orlando500 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 After my last "panic mode" with the usb drive failing. I wish unraid had a better solution for booting the OS. Like a dedicated SSD or something. So i also could have raid 1 on that. Would have saved a lot of my hair...:-) Quote Link to comment

That is the way we are doing it currently. However it would be a lot more convenient to have a solution doing this automatically as we have users that are not very familiar with ssh and manually setting paths to vdisks and thus creating broken VMs. Quote Link to comment

pras1011 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Limetech, why are you ignoring requests for adding wifi to unraid? Quote Link to comment

It's a lot of work and big support headache. We have to balance against other features that are a lot of work. Quote Link to comment

pras1011 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 There is a work around by plugging the server into a wifi extender but thats defeats the point and my new mobo will have wifi 6. I don't use VMs. Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

pras1011 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Mine server is not hidden away. Wifi 6 is incredible and huge leap over wifi 5. I can write at 100MBps from my wifi 6 pc to my unraid server. (The router, server and pc are all in the same room though). When the pc is moved to a different floor, I get 77MBps. Quote Link to comment

But im sure you could use the cpu or MB identifer or something like that is unique. Or even had the option to boot from a SSD drive but the licence could be still on a usb key. IF key are missing you got a grace period for 30 day (like a trial) to get a key or replace a key. That would give more stability to the servers even if the usb has bad sectors. btw, thanks for replying.. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment

Rather than having a usb key fail, that gives me no boot of the server. Anyhow thats my input... :-) Quote Link to comment
