  1. Incorrect. It is as itimpi said, any storage device (excluding the boot USB drive) connected when the array is started count towards the allowed limi (whether they are in the data array or not). From the Unraid manual … What is an attached storage device? Attached storage devices refer to the total number of storage devices you are allowed to have connected to the server before starting the array, not counting the USB Flash boot device. There are no other limitations in the software based on the license type. Non-storage devices such as GPUs do not count against the license tier limits.
  2. One common mistake which prevents a disk being unmounted ishaving a console open with the current directory on the disk that won’t unmount. Changing directory to somewhere else then allows the unmount to proceed. I’ve been guilty of this mistake in the past.
  3. I’m on 6.12.2 with no problems. However, as no-one else has come up with any suggestions, it may be worth trying to roll back to 6.11.x if it is easy for you to do, if only to show whether or not the problem is specific to the 6.12 release. However from your original description I think you suggested that the problems were occurring even before you updated to 6.12, in which case there would be little point rolling back. I know how frustrated I would be if it was failing for no apparent reason on my system. The only other thing I could suggest is maybe try setting it up with a small library with only a few items in it, in case it is something in the media library causing it to fail (although I cannot really see how this could cause the whole docker to fail), if only to rule this out as the cause.
  4. Not seeing this problem with the docker on my system. Does it run if you manually start it (is the problem only with autostart). What version of Unraid are you running? Have you recently upgraded to the latest 6.12 version?
  5. Is the current directory for your shell in a user share? If so this would prevent the user shares from being stopped.
  6. You should probably configure "Notifications" to at least send your emails if something important needs your attention: Settings -> Notification Settings -> SMTP settings
  7. You have a conflict between the standard Parity Check setting "Accumulation duration" which is set to 14 hours and the Parity Check Tuning setting "Increment Pause" setting to 00:30 (which is causing your parity check to pause 30 minutes after midnight) I suggest you set the Parity Check setting "Cumulative parity check" to "No" and then set the Parity Check Tuning setting "Increment pause" to the time you want it to pause (11:30). This means all the pausing/resuming is handled only by the Parity Check Tuning plugin. You should also change the Parity Check setting "Day of the week" to a specific day …. The current setting will restart the parity check every day of the 1 week of the selected month. How do I know this? Because I made the same mistake when I recently changed from monthly to 2 monthly and the parity check was making no progress each night. I had the luxury of being to able chat with my brother (who is the author of the Parity Check Tuning plugin) to work out what was going wrong.
  8. If the duplicates are in the same place on various data drives then the script on this posting may help
  9. As has already been mentioned, even with such a setup you need to backup important/irreplaceable files to an external drive. For instance in this setup if something causes file system corruption on a disk, it is quite possible (depending on what caused it) for this to be corruption to be reflected in an emulated drive (because parity was also updated with the change which caused the corruption). The other common way of losing data is users accidentally deleting files/folders they didn’t mean to delete. No number of parity disks is going to protect you from this. If I had this system, rather than allocating a 2nd parity drive I would instead use that drive to maintain external backups of stuff I could not afford to lose. But maybe you are already doing backups.
  10. Can you post an example of the permissions and ownership of an actual file that you have problems deleting and also that of the directory which contains the file?
  11. My understanding is that there was a change in the licensing terms of memtest86 which means that the newer versions can no longer be supplied with Unraid, but are free for download from the memtes86 web site; this is the reason why Unraid does not include newer version of memtest86.
  12. Were you using your gmail username and password to authenticate your SMTP connection to send the emails from your Unraid server? google no longer allow this (earlier this year I received a number of emails from google that they would no longer allow this from the end of May) …. You need to set up an application specific password in your gmail account and use that on your Unraid server.
  13. One thing you might also want to consider is changing the SMB setting for the share to be case sensitive (rather than the usual default of case insensitive). On my system this resulted in a significant performance boost when accessing files on the SMB shares. However you can obviously only do that if you access the files with pathnames of the correct case; in your case if the pathnames in the database have been stored with the correct case.
