Perhaps it can give a X-days reprieve by allowing it to downgrade to trial\temporary license before it can reauthorize? I get you... I was gonna say that nowadays just about everyone has access to cellular internet and that most people would already find alternative ways to access the net if they experience outage for more than hours... But then again, personal\smartphone connectivity is very much different than a storage server's.. not to mention that some of these servers found their use due to the unavailability\unreliability of internet connection in the first place. So yeah, point taken. Anyway, this is just a feature request.... and I think a (reasonable) online licensing model today is much more acceptable than it was a few years ago.. and things will continue to move toward that end of the spectrum (everything is hyper connected).

They could leave the current (offline) licensing alone with v6.9 and just switch to online from v6.10 and onward... What are the argument for offline licensing these days? I mean, you still need to go online to get updates, addons, do online backups and whatnot. I never thought of hosting pfsense\firewall on a VM, but for my case... my unraid server seems to be the most 'available', since it has dual PSU, ECC ram, a higher quality supermicro motherboard, etc.... so in that sense, I'm leaning toward putting mission critical stuff on the best hardware that I own...

I see, now I understand more. I don't mind a different kind of licensing scheme to enable this feature, even one at higher price and with online activation... if you can think of a good way to implement it

Found out what was causing the problem... The ARP table on my managed switch has that particular ip set as static for another mac address (previous server)... after I cleared that mac address entry, everything is working as expected.

I'm on v6.9.2 ... and when I set a static IP from the web interface, the broadcast address is set to 0.0.0.0... I have to go to console and issue a manual ifconfig eth0 broadcast x.x.x.255 to fix things, but where can I define the broadcast address from the web interface? to add some info: I set my static ip as : 10.10.0.100, /24 subnet gateway as 10.10.0.1 Logically, it should calculate the broadcast address to be 10.10.0.255, but for some reason, it sets it to 0.0.0.0 I didn't realize it at first, and the machine just lost network connectivity (plex not working, app updates just called up the last cached version, etc)... until I went to console and checked (and corrected) with ifconfig. Any thoughts and suggestions welcomed. Thanks

With multiple arrays, I hope they let us turn on/off arrays individually.. I'd make a simple RAID-1 for the mission critical VMs that runs 24/7 that I don't mess around with.

Nice. I'm also ordering a few things to quiet my main 846... (those green caged supermicro fans and the quiet (ps or qs series) psu.

+1 to VMs that can stay up during array maintenance. Some disk maintenance can take awhile before the array becomes available again, that's the reason I'm still keeping my home automation VM on a separate VMWare machine.

Which motherboard\cpu did you pair with that case if you don't mind me asking?

Hi guys, Will the 'new config' clear up any other settings, other than the disk assignments + voiding parity? I worry about my users list, shares settings, dockers settings and also cache disk settings/assignments. Thanks

Is there significant change for v6? Also, does clicking 'New Config' clears up the users list, shares list and other settings too? Edit: Please disregard, found the answer here: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=47504.msg454857#msg454857

Nope. Ended up installing NZBGet on a spare windows server I have, and I haven't tried it back on the unraid machine. I'm put off using vm on unraid, since it doesn't even support VLANs...

I wonder if this is in response to WD's announcement of 8TB helium drives... A pair of "8TB WD Red he" drives sells for $549 in the My Book 16tb : http://store.wdc.com/store/wdus/en_US/pd/ThemeID.21986300/productID.335134800/parid.13092300/catid.13092800/categoryID.67972900/WDBLWE0160JCH-NESN/My_Book_Duo/External_Storage

Opentoe: have you looked into Blue Iris software? For $50, it lets you mix and match up to 64 cameras and has loads and loads of features. I use mine with mobotix, hikvision and foscam cameras. (Soon to be adding + testing Areconts). I also really like their mobile client (android and ios) which lets you playback recordings too.

For those looking for 6TB WD Reds, check out WD "My Book Duo desktop 12TB" which comes with a pair of 6TB WD Reds for $445 (newegg and amazon). It has the same 3 years warranty, and priced lower than a pair of WD Reds, and you get the USB 3.0 raid-capable enclosure for free http://www.amazon.com/12TB-Desktop-External-Drive-WDBLWE0120JCH-NESN/dp/B00LEF28CI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4P02F77130&cm_re=Wd_duo_12tb-_-22-236-731-_-Product
