Updated from 6.12.8 to 6.12.9 14 hours ago without any issues.

6.12.6 to 6.12.8 so far so good. Did not stop the array, but did do a full power down instead of a restart. No crash on first boot as I have dealt with in the past. Thanks guys, craigr

My go file PLEX lines: #Limit PLEX Transcode RAM Drive Size mkdir /tmp/PlexRamScratch chmod -R 777 /tmp/PlexRamScratch mount -t tmpfs -o size=32g tmpfs /tmp/PlexRamScratch I do not have any extra parameters. I am however using the Intel IGPU not Nvidia. Good luck!

A lot has changed with this between many releases. I'd remove any plugins and code relating to the iGPU and start from scratch. Maybe someone will have a better answer.

Well if noise is not an issue. I find my NF-A8's to be too loud already. I use four SS-500's.

Updated from 6.12.5. No issues to report. I appreciate the updates, but it does make me nervous when sequential updates fly out at this rate. Thanks

Do the SS-500's have a temp sensor and fan control? I have four SS-500's that are very old, but it seemed to me when I installed them so long ago that their fans always spun at 100%. I ran the fans to the motherboard to gain some control. That said, it seems gnollo's fans ran faster when he did the same and his drives ran cooler. Right now I am stuck having all four fans on one controller channel. So one hard drive hot means all for POD fans spin up faster. It's loud and annoying. I may have to try connecting the fans back to each SS-500 and see what happens if I don't find an answer.

Yeah, there is a fan in each POD. I forget if it's 80mm or 92mm (think it's 80mm, but I ordered four Noctua of both sizes for two different projects at the same time). I ran the fan power cord outside the Norco PODs when I upgraded the fans. Right now all four fans are connected to one fan header on my MB. So, the fans in all for PODS run at higher speed even if just one drive is hot. A lot better than full speed 24/7 like the original wiring, but far from optimal. And as I said, IPMI tools (and possibly MB) only allows for two fan speed controls; CPU and other. Therefore, my chassis fan speeds are all based on the tempo of the hottest hard drive as well. I'd really like to at least get the chassis and POD fans separated, but it would be so nice if each POD had its own control and all the chassis fans were on another.

I had dropped back plexserver version, but I went back a couple more to version 1.32.6.7468-07e0d4a7e. It seems to be working now but I was only able to try manual recordeings, not scheduled recordings.

Do you mean ISP? I have been having an issue for several weeks where I cannot watch a channel while that channel is recording a program. I have not found a solution yet.

Sorry, but than again, switching to 3x4 enclosures instead of 3x5 would also have benefits. When I switched to 3x5 the temperature of all my discs went up 10C degrees. So the full tower would be really good in that regard as well... maybe I should buy one!

The other thing is that I have 20x spinners now. I'm hoping that maybe on my next hard drive upgrade I can have enough storage space with just 15x spinners. Right now, I have 204TB of storage with 18 data drives. If I drop to 13 data drives and they are 20TB than I would already have 260TB. If I hold out long enough, I bet I can get 300TB with 13 data drives, one parity, and a cache drive.

I've decided I'm not getting it. My existing Xigmatek Elysium case is truly functionally a bit better, so I'm sticking with it. But if I were buying a case now it would certainly be the AI Raider. I mean, "Art of Server" likes it and I trust his judgement. It seems like as close to a perfect case as one could hope. I'd like to buy it because it looks cooler and more modern than mine, and it's no doubt quieter, but it's kind of a lateral move in most respects for me.

I had been unable to find these for months, but they are back in stock at Amazon. I really want to pull the trigger.

In case anyone ever comes along and finds this helpful, the new memory has continued to work flawlessly. It's great!
