  1. Thanks for the Info!! That board looks good!! specially the 8 sata ports!!
  2. Hi @MAM59 What motherboard You are using? I am looking at the AsRock X570 Steel Legend. Did you needed to update the Bios to be able to use the Ryzen 5000 series CPU's?
  3. Thanks, mAYH3m!! I have a GTX570, laying around that I can use for Unraid!! and use a GTX1060 for the Gaming VM!!!
  4. Hi, I am in a similar situation as Neuromancer!! I want to build a new Unraid Server to replace my very old Unraid AMD Phenom II rig with a Ryzen 2700 !!! I will be using mostly as a media server for Plex and the usual Sab, Radarr, Sonnar, Couch and a very few other dockers like Zerotier, and I will have a W10 Gaming VM!! My question is: can I use only 1 GPU for the VM and Unraid? I have read that I need 2 GPU one for Unraid and the other for the VM!! Can somebody help clarify the GPU situation in Ryzen? I know that the Ryzen 2xxxx family doesn't have an integrated GPU!!. I will be using a GTX1060 with passthrough to the gaming VM. The VM will not be used all the time!!, just when Gaming, and I always configure Unraid headless via web interface from another machine in the network!! I am deciding on an ASUS Prime X470-Pro AM4 or GIGABYTE AORUS GA-AX370-Gaming 5 Does the difference from the X470 vs the X370 chipset will be a major factor? Hope can someone share light on this!! Thanks!!
  5. Hi I am ready to Upgrade my old AMD Phenom 4C CPU with a new one and new MB!! I just want to know if with the Ryzen 2 Family including the Ryzen 5 2600X the issues with Freezes and disabling C Sate is resolve? I just want a rock solid 24/7 system with low power consumption without any freezes and be able to handle a few VM's a Plex Media Server with a few Dockers.
  6. What I did was got a Raspberry Pi and install SoftEther VPN server https://www.softether.org/ SO I can connect to the Raspberry in my case via OpenVPN with a mac using Tunnelblick but you can use the OSX L2TP connection also!! ( if you use the L2PT you can use it with iPhone, Android or any client!! It even have his own DDNS built in!!! So when I connect to the Pi I see the computers and devices on my home network as a local user!! I can even connect to my Sonos speakers and play music away from home!!! Hope it helps!!
  7. Ok so I just Got a replacement 3 TB disk to put it in the array to replace the disabled disk!! So my Plan is to rebuild the current 3TB with a new 3TB disk, then upgrade the parity to the a new 8TB. So my question now is How Do I replace the disks with a new 8TB and a new 6TB and copy all the data these drives and migrate from reiserfs to XFS? I am currently using 3 3TB disk in reiserfs and almost full!! the array is 90% full. With the new configuration I will have a 8TB parity drive, one 8TB and one 6TB for the array plus the same cache disk I am using that is 500GB. Thanks!!
  8. Hi I am running Unraid 6.3.5 with 3 3TB drives a 3TB parity and 500B cache, and on friday I got an error and a disk was disable!! I did a fast smart check and the result was no erros!! So I open the computer and check cables and connections, then I tried to replace the drive with the same by reassign it by deassign it an assign it after a array stop. It start to rebuilding the drive but after 60% I got read erros!! So ok not big deal!! this is a 6 year old drive time to change it! My question is about replacing the disable drive!! I currently have 2 6TB and 2 8TB drives to be used as replacements drives!! I know that I cant replace the disable drive with a larger one!! But what I need to do to replace the Parity Drive and don't lose data while I have a disable drive that it is emulated? My Goal is to replace the Parity with a 8TB drive and replace the disable drive with another 8TB and replace another 3TB with a 6TB?? Also in the process I would like to change all my drives from reiserfs to XFS(the drives are from a original Unraid 5 build and upgraded to 6) What I nned to to to be able to accomplish this? Any help with this would be very appreciated!!! I had this Unraid server running since 2012 and this is my first problem!! and it just a old bad disk!! very impressed with the sytem!! I have accesses to all my files but there are emulated!!
  9. Hi I am trying to install the CP Docker image but I get an error when installing https://db.tt/XMguw8Sa I used to have a CP installation but I deleted the appdata folder and create a new one!! Why I can't install this docker??
  10. OK I just install V6 on a new USB drive with a Plus license!! I installed a few plugins and the system is running just fine Btu I haven't started the array yet!! Can I just re assigned the old drives in the new disk # (old disk1=Seagate 3T new disk1=same Seagate3T) and it will just be fine? What about the cache drive since I am going to do a fresh install, It is better to back up all old data apps folder(that's the only data that I have in the cache) and reformat the cache drive in XFS and create a new cache only folder and use the existing apps data? How about the user shares? I only have one user share with sub folders for Movies and TV Shows. Can I just set a new user share with the same name and it will behave like the old configuration? This questions are not address in the linked guide!! I just want to know if I assigned the new drives in V6 it will work just like v5 and will no loose data!!
  11. Hi I am currently Running UR5 wand want to upgrade to Unraid 6 to be able to use Dockers!! My main apps are PlexServer, Sickbrad, Couch, Sab and Sonarr I have a new USB Drive with a new and different plus Key!! My setup consist on 3 3TB Data Drives a 3TB Parity and a 500GB Cache Drive. The Plan that I have is to set up a new Fresh Unraid 6.0.1 in the new USB drive but I want to use all the current configuration from the old UR5! in the cache drive a have a cache only folder with all the Apps folders separately. What I need to do to be able to not touch the current data Drives files and be able to use the current Data with the new Dockers Apps? Can I just re assigned the current disks and Unraid 6 will read them just fine? Do I need to create a new User Share just like the old Unraid5 setup and the new setup will continue to use that structure? Or it would be better to just Upgrade with the current USB and clean all the plugins and add the new dockers containers? Any help will be very appreciated!!

  14. I am not an expert but I had a similar problem with Plex and it was a permission problem!! what I did was I Telnet to the server and change the owner to nobody and the group to users manually!! and then Plex started!! also make sure that in the Plex settings you use the user nobody!!
  15. Hi I just installed a new Cache Drive to my Unraid 5 Box and I have a few questions! I use my Unraid box exclusively as a Media Server, I have Couch, Sab, Sickbead, NZBdrone and Plex all running fine and all it is working as expected. The main reason I added a cache drive is to be able to sleep the Server by itself whenever it can when not in use! previously a had all the apps in the array and the Server will never sleep by itself I had to sleep it manually. Now with all the apps in the cache drive it goes to sleep at the specified minutes in the settings!! Previously I had to wake the server via an app WOL whenever I needed to download the new TV series and sleep it manually also! I rarely have the server awaken!! only when watching TV Series or Movies. My question is now that I have the Cache drive drive and it goes to sleep by itself when does the Mover Script does his thing? I set in the settings to do it at 6 am in the thoughts the server will wake up do his thing and then go back to sleep but it did not happened!! The server is sleeping 4 days in the week I only use it on weekends and a few days in the week!! Can I use a command in the Sleep settings to whenever the server wakes up it activate the Mover Script? or Do I have to do it manually? Can I have like a schedule to wake the server run the Mover script and then he sleeps by itself? Hope anyone with this situation can help Me!!
