No - it said I was on the latest and I believed it. I just forced the update and working now! Thanks @CHBMB and @hernandito!

Hmmm ... I tried this and it still not working. I get this error: nzbToMedia: Could not start /usr/bin/python3: No such file or directory

Did some Googling and found a suggestion to run the command ... ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 which resolved the issue. Why is this necessary? Have I misconfigured something? Before running the command above: root@merlin:~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.17.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 docker0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 After running the command above: root@merlin:~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0 172.17.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 docker0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 -SSD

Hey all - I've been away for a bit, but trying to update my server to 6.7.0 from 6.4.1. Boots fine, but the server cannot access the Internet. It does see the local network. Attempts to update plugins and dockers fail because server is unable to access the Internet. When I start my Windows VM, the Windows VM CAN see the Internet. It works fine. Any help greatly appreciated! I have attached my diagnostics. Thanks for the help!! -SSD merlin-diagnostics-20190612-2239.zip

An option is to hook up the 4th 5in3 externally. You just need to run the cables out the back of the case (including a power pigtail). Depending on where the server is stored, the aesthetics might be acceptable.

Even 40 to 35 is a big drop putting cold water on top, but maybe if it was in a metal pan. I wouldn't do that BTW, could cause condensation issues.

Couple things make me doubt this experience. A drive is not going to suddenly start running very hot like that. And second, a drive's heat dissipates mainly from the bottom of the drive, and cold water on top would likely have little affect. Certainly not taking it down to 35C from 55C. It's not clear whether you shucked the drive to use in unRAID. If you didn't, a high temp might be expected. But again, a cup of cold water on top is likely not going to help. But if the drive was failing, returning it for replacement is the right action.

I did a server update update and was able to move my Windows VM over and it ran perfectly. But the VM was setup for on the old 4 core server, and I wanted to update it for my new 12 core processor. So I created a VM on the new server, and looked at its XML concerning the CPU config (topology, cores, etc.) and used that to manually edit my real VM's XML. Worked fine, but afterwards, Office 2016 complained and wanted to me to re-register. Because my licenses were OEM and tied to the machine, I had issues. Windows, also an OEM license, did not complain. I was thinking that a VM would completely shield me from these types of issues as it would appear to use the same motherboard, chipset, etc., and this seems true it you don't touch its config, but you can run into licensing issues when upgrading a server and reconfiguring the VM to match your new CPU. Just FYI

I'd suggest starting a parity check, and monitoring the disk temps for at least 30-45 mins. If they stay in the low 40s, you're good. If they keep getting hotter and hotter with time, and start to go over 46 or 47C, I'd stop the parity check. I think you'd have better airflow / cooling with at least one exhaust fan. The fans on the drive cages bring in the air and PSU and exhaust fan would help force that air out, making it easier for the intake fans to bring in more fresh air. While it can be good to have a little positive pressure in the case, 3 in and 1 out might be too much. But run your temperate tests and see.

@BillR - Maybe with the heavy "pull" of air from the case font (over the drives), there will be postive pressure inside the case that forces air out. The Newegg picture shows a fan bottom left. (See below). Is that in place? Looks like possible to have a fan on top of case just next to PSU blowing upwards. That would be awesome if you are having heat issues. Maybe a thin mount 92mm or 120mm would fit if you remove the horizontal support piece.

Do you have any exhaust fan except the PSU? Looks like it might get warm in there.

Love it! I've been looking for a small, portable build, and this looks pretty awesome. Looking forward to internal pictures as well.

Look at NoMachine vs SplashTop.

Not speaking to UnRaid specifically, but the cost of a thing is based on what the market will bear, not on the cost to produce. How much does a can of Coke cost to produce vs cost to buy? If the cost to produce is higher than what the market well bear, will the price rise? They might try. But then they would not sell. They would have to make it cheaper or go out of business. Obviously LimeTech had found that the $9 upgrade is a reasonable part of their pricing strategy. I find it slightly humorous we have people complaining about the $9 fee. Instead of thinking of the $9 as an extra fee, think of it as the discount one gets from buying the full license to start! ?

My experience with USBs has been excellent. Except for the one time I snapped one in half, they have gone for years and years without failing in my UnRaid servers. The most common problem people have is file system corruption that can happen in a hard shutdown (e.g., power failure) or sudden removal from a running system. It is normally easily fixed by putting the stick in a workstation and running chkdsk. If left untreated, it can give some symptoms similar to what you mention.
