  1. Thank you @Lolight and @mmagl. I've primarily used Seagates and WDs in the past 20 years and for the first ten years I've had significantly more issues with Seagate drives than WDs. I've been loyal to WDs for the past ten years and sticking to them I've had no regrets. I can't believe my ancient WD greens are actually still running well. I'll stick to the WD Reds (Plus and Pro only). The SMR CMR advice is very sound also, I will make sure they are CMR drives. Thank you also for teaching me about Shucking.
  2. Hi guys, My server is still running very strong and rock solid after all these years. Quite unbelievable actually. My hardware is as follows: M/B: Supermicro C2SEA Version 1234567890 - s/n: 1234567890 CPU: Intel® Celeron® CPU E3300 @ 2.50GHz Memory: 4 GiB SDRAM (max. installable capacity 4 GiB) My last upgrade was six years ago when I replaced 4x 1Tb - 2TB green drives with "WD Red 5TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD50EFRX" which have also been very rock solid. I still have 4 more 1TB - 2TB WD greens to replace. I can't believe they have not yet died after ten years. What are the go-to drives currently recommended by the UnRaid community? Thank you very much.
  3. Thanks. I can't see Advanced Buttons and also just removed Preclear plugin. Thank you.
  4. Upgraded with no major issues from 6.3.x, my preclear plugin no longer works. Will check out the preclear thread. Thank you all for the hard work.
  5. I had a similar issue where the calculate stops, I've had to force the plugin to terminate when it does this. It only happened though when I was calculating a location with a lot of small files, ie. my Plex App folder (I used unBalance to move files around to convert all my files to XFS). But, it had no issues when actually running it. On different shares, ie. Movies, music, TV Shows, etc, calculating was instantaneous and also had no problems moving files over.
  6. Thank you so much for your help. I've had PMs running beautifully, in fact, much better than I expected using Docker, in particular the Linuxserver container. It's been a long 1 month road to upgrade. I upgraded 4 of my disks, and only realised towards the end of that upgrade that I perhaps should move to XFS and that part took the longest, shortly after upgrading to v6. Happy chappy now.
  7. I'll try and correct the user share names and see if that works, thanks. Yeah, I've only been doing disk to disk moves also share (from specific disk, one disk at a time only, using unBalance) to disk moves and all went well.
  8. Edit: Funnily enough I can access them via explorer.... I've messed up my shares somehow....
  9. I've just finished changing over to XFS on all drives which involved moving. I did 1 disk move at any given time and verified (reading, opening, etc) them each time before I proceed to the next did, everything seemed to go OK. Then I swapped Disk 3 and 5 slots as per this link: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ#What_is_the_safe_way_to_rearrange_disk_numbers.2C_assignments.2C_slots.2C_etc.3F because I wanted them organised in a certain way. And now my Disk 3 (now disk 5) shares are lost and I cannot access the disk, it prompts me for a username/password in Windows. The main page is showing that, based on size stats, that my files are still there. It sounds like a permission issue. I've attached a screenshot of the shares from before my previous move with all my shares at the time, including Disk 3 (Now Disk 5). And also added a screenshot of what it looks like now. I'm currently running a parity check even though on the disk slot swap parity was valid. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. monkey-diagnostics-20160213-0939.zip
  10. Cheers, much appreciated. I think that's enough to narrow down which docker to choose. Thanks again.
  11. Thanks for that. What's your reason why you went from needo's to Linuxserver? What are your thoughts on Limetech's docker? I suppose I could always start from scratch, I haven't found any guides on how to "upgrade" from plugin to any other docker apart from Needo's docker but I'll keep hunting around. So apart from segregating PMS, are there any impact on performance with Plugin vs Docker?
  12. Hi all. I'm confused as to which Docker I should be using. I understand the concept and I don't see any reports of any major performance issues. I've read through this good thread here: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=41562.0 But I'm still confused. Background: I recently upgraded unRAID from version 5 to 6. At the same time I replaced 4 of 6 drives and I'm nearly done re-formatting (after much time spent moving files in and out of disks) all my disks to XFS. I've just got to re-finalize my new user share structure and from there PMS is the one thing I have left to do before I can sit down and just relax. I previously had the Phaze plugin installed with zero transcode, only Direct Play. I've configured the server perfectly and ran beautifully over a few years. I want to be able to transition to the Docker without losing these settings if possible and I don't have Plex Pass, just the standard Plex App. Based on that, what's the recommended path for me, which Docker do I use? Thank you so much.
  13. No point in using remove-source-files if you are planning on formatting the disk anyway. Copying vs moving is much faster. I have: Parity Disk1 - XFS Disk2 - RFS Disk3 - RFS Disk4 - RFS Disk5 - XFS (New drive, no user shares) I've just done Disk1, my plan is to use Disk 5 as a placeholder while I empty RFS drives followed by reformatting. So I'm using unBalance to move files from the RFS disk to my placeholder. Then I reformat it to XFS. Since there are no user shares on the placeholder, I can't use unBalance. I have a specific requirement for having a certain type of file/shares on certain disks, otherwise I wouldn't be moving them back. Should I use the diskmv script diskmv -f "" disk1 disk2 instead or maybe just mv mv /mnt/disk1/ /mnt/disk2 ? Hi CRD, If you're copying disk to disk, which means you have available space on the target disk, I would suggest doing a straight rsync copy .... there's a thread somewhere in the forums about this same topic (rfs to xfs transfer) Thank you, I've re-read many posts from that thread, I've got one final disk left! *phew* Thank you so much, I'm using your plugin to do 1 part of the move and it has worked well for me. Thank you again.
