Same situation here but running 6.9.2..... 2 user.scripts set for BackgroundOnly and AfterArrayStart fail to run: Checked using htop, filter for $ScriptName and user.script shows no running processes. Scripts run perfectly using bash /path/to/ScriptName/script & and show in htop. Re-boot and perform tests, and confirmed that the scripts are not starting / running.. Only change to the system was update of Unassigned Devices Preclear ( to version 2022.07.10a ). Nothing in system log to indicate failure to load user.scripts plugin... Thanks in anticipation..

Hope you have fun... I am currently watching / looking at 2 systems: 1 - HP Z820 - 2x Intel Xeon [email protected], 256GB@1600MHz DDR3 2 - HP Z840 - 2x Xeon 10C [email protected], 256GB@2133MHz DDR4

Welcome. Z840 is a very capable machine (as is the Z820) as long as you are not intending to put masses of drives in it. As far as UNRAID usage is concerned (in my view): Benefit of Z840: supports Bifurcation in the BIOS, should you wish to use multiple NVMe's on a single cheap card. (Z820 no bifurcation) Benefit of Z820: 3 x 5.25 external bays (if you want to use drive cage). (Z840 only 2 x 5.25 external) LSI controller is same. If you intend to expand the system internally (2nd CPU, lots of RAM etc) it would be best to go for the high capacity PSU.

Hi Guys and Gals.. Longtime user but not any kind of programmer, though I normally find solutions (eventually). I find myself in need of some assistance from far more competent minds than mine. Scenario: Xeon 4C/8T 64GB Ram Disks: Parity & Disk1 are WD Ultrastar DC HC330 (CMR 7200) - fast changing data Disk2 to Disk6 contiguous are Seagate ST4000DM004-2CV104 (SMR 5400) - slow changing data Dynamix file integrity installed and set to watch new/modified files. I wish to use xfs_fsr on disks that are monitored by Dynamix file integrity. Testing: Ran xfs_fsr -v /dev/md1 Server went NUTS: htop showed load average ABOVE 16 and 8+ files being accessed by md5sum so I waited until it had all completed and Disk1 had stopped thrashing, then I started digging... Found rc.watcher supports stop and start: so... cd /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.file.integrity/scripts ./rc.watcher stop >> /mnt/cache/Transcode/fsr.log xfs_fsr -v /dev/md2 | tee -a /mnt/cache/Transcode/fsr.log ./rc.watcher start >> /mnt/cache/Transcode/fsr.log Seemed to work, no thrashing, no md5sum processes running, EXCEPT after a while in terminal this appeared: ( screenshot titled bunker error.png) Something wrong there, nothing in logs or notifications... Performed a clean restart of server just to make sure it is stable and post this cry for help! What service(s) do I need to stop/pause/suspend/kill before running xfs_fsr? What service(s) do I need to start/unpause/resume afterwards? Thanks for your consideration & help.

Alternatively, set up a Raspberry Pi as a print server, here are some links for you: https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/how-to/raspberry-pi-print-server https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-print-server/ https://opensource.com/article/18/3/print-server-raspberry-pi https://medium.com/swlh/setup-a-print-server-using-raspberry-pi-cups-part-1-c8f3d48af047 https://www.raspberry-pi-geek.com/Archive/2013/01/Converting-the-Raspberry-Pi-to-a-wireless-print-server https://www.balena.io/blog/wifi-enable-usb-printers-with-a-raspberry-pi-and-share-it-over-your-network/ https://maker.pro/raspberry-pi/projects/how-to-turn-a-usb-printer-into-a-wireless-printer-with-raspberry-pi-zero-w If you get a new printer later on, you have a Raspberry Pi to play with

DirSyncPro is pretty capable, decent gui...

Also, a docker will be easier to carry through the upgrades.

Still running the Slackware VM, but looking at creating a docker next... I think I should be able to strip a docker down to the minimum for a perl environment. I think it is probably whistling in the wind to expect full support for perl to be re-instated now that it has been 'killed'. So, a minimum docker may be the best I can hope for..................

Greetings, A shameless bump to beg some assistance. I have created a vm on my Workstation (not unRAID) and loaded Slackware 14.2. (which has a working perl environment) I am hoping to be able to perform some sort of diff with respect to types.h and I have come up with the following candidates: ./usr/include/dns/types.h ./usr/include/bits/types.h ./usr/include/isccc/types.h ./usr/include/isc/types.h ./usr/include/asm-generic/types.h ./usr/include/netlink/types.h ./usr/include/c++/5.3.0/parallel/types.h ./usr/include/sys/types.h ./usr/include/irs/types.h ./usr/include/pci/types.h ./usr/include/asm-x86/types.h ./usr/include/libnl3/netlink/types.h ./usr/include/linux/iio/types.h ./usr/include/linux/types.h ./usr/lib64/bcc/include/asm/types.h ./usr/lib64/bcc/include/generic/types.h ./usr/lib64/bcc/include/sys/types.h ./usr/lib64/bcc/include/arch/types.h ./usr/lib64/bcc/include/linuxmt/types.h ./usr/lib64/bcc/include/msdos/types.h ./usr/lib64/bcc/include/linux/types.h Can anybody throw a few hints my way? Cheers.

Greetings .. Using the File Integrity plugin on 6.6.7 Impressive work.. Have been doing a fair amount of testing to try and get it to fail / see where it misses stuff. E.g. Parity check running, 6 data drives monitored, parallel transfer of 5GB files from ramdisk to each of the monitored disks. Everything passed, as said before: Impressive. There are a number of changes / additions I would like to see, but realise that they would only apply to my use-case, and it would not make sense to ask for them to be implemented. There are two possible changes that I would ask for that would / could be of benefit to the community as a whole (possibly). 1. An option to have the log files directory elsewhere (cache etc.) as I am uncomfortable with such potentially frequently changed files stored on the flash drive, I suspect there will be some who will opine that is nothing to worry about (wear leveling, flash drives are better quality nowadays etc. etc.), but if I am using the plugin as an aid to monitor / reduce the effects of bit-rot / failure then it makes sense to avoid the relatively fragile flash drive (in my opinion). 2. A means of triggering / running a script when processing has completed, enabling reliable post-processing. In my case I would use that script to perform the unique processing for my use-case. I hope you can consider this request. If only one can be implemented, please can it be option 2 (end-of-processing script triggering). Cheers..

Thanks hawihoney, I already have a vm doing that, but what an AWFUL WASTE of resources, when it should be running on unRAID where it can be triggered @ the right time / conditions. I had it running under 5.0.2 (32-bit system, triggered by incron). It just seems 'off' having a linux system that does not support the perl environment. Could it be a 32-bit / 64-bit thing? Unlikely! .... Cheers...

Greetings to all.. Long-time user of unRAID, started with 4.7, spent a long time on 5.02, recently apgraded to 6.6.7 All spinning drives have been converted to xfs, ssd cache added. System is running beautifully.. On 5.0.2 I had a perl script (self-written) that provided the majority of the final functionality of the current File Integrity plugin - so: File Integrity installed. My problem: I would like to have my perl environment to be available. perl installed (perl-5.26.1-x86_64-4.txz) via Nerd Pack plugin and confirmed with perl -v cpan install DBD::SQLite FAILS with message: 'make -- NOT OK' confirmed make not installed. Searched Nerd Pack, found in Dev Pack, installed (make-4.2.1-x86_64-3.txz). 2nd attempt @ DBD::Sqlite FAILS with message: 'make: error while loading shared libraries: libguile-2.2.so.1:' Searched Dev Pack, installed (guile-2.2.3-x86_64-2.txz) 3rd attempt @ DBD::Sqlite FAILS with message: 'make: error while loading shared libraries: libgc.so.1:' Searched Dev Pack, installed (gc-7.6.6-x86_64-1.txz) 4th attempt @ DBD::Sqlite FAILS with message: '/bin/sh: cc: command not found' Searched Dev Pack, installed (gcc-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz) 5th attempt @ DBD::Sqlite FAILS with message: 'cc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory' Searched Dev Pack, installed (binutils-2.31.1-x86_64-4.txz) 6th attempt @ DBD::Sqlite FAILS with message: '/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/8.2.0/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libmpc.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' Searched Dev Pack, installed (libmpc-1.1.0-x86_64-2.txz) 7th attempt @ DBD::Sqlite FAILS with message: '/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/perl.h:694:10: fatal error: sys/types.h: No such file or directory' ' #include <sys/types.h>' ' ^~~~~~~~~~~~~' Searched Dev Pack, installed (kernel-headers-4.14.37-x86-1.txz) NOW I AM STUCK, as this has not solved the issue.. Googling hints @ libpcap or kernel headers as the solution..... I am obviously missing something, but knowing nowt about Linux, I am stuck.. Please can I beg some help. Cheers...

@rjstott You might want to have a look at: http://www.techspot.com/article/997-samsung-ssd-read-performance-degradation/ Maybe not relevant to the problems you are having, and maybe you won't be affected (cache disk usage - transient), but if you are holding VM / Container files or any other static files on the cache, you would be affected.

2 windows solutions: 1 - Cobian Backup http://www.cobiansoft.com/cobianbackup.htm no facility for running backup profiles at shutdown (but it is free!!!) 2 - Second Copy http://www.secondcopy.com/ can run backup profiles as part of windows shutdown (costs GBP 23.36 / USD 29.95) Both can be profiled to do what you want. I use Second Copy myself...
