  1. This is coming from completely off the wall. I seem to remember that someone found a problem with 'spaces' after the end of a file/directory name a while back.
  2. Running the 'New Permissions' (TOOL tab) will fix the permissions in your example.
  3. Look at the UMASK settings. Unraid seems to be happiest if UMASK is 000 (or, 0000, if four digits are used).
  4. Be careful at this point which file you delete. Make sure that the file on the array is there in total as cancelling a copy might result in a truncated file...
  5. You are not using both \\<Server-IP-address> and \\<server-Name> to access the server? (Use one or the other exclusively. Not both at different times.)
  6. Under the Unraid Users tab, You should have set up a 'Share Access' user with a password. Then, for each Unraid Share, you should assign the user's access rights for that share--- 'No access', Read-only, or Read/write. Now when you are presented with the screen that you have posted above, enter the user-name and password. Then check the "Remember my credentials" box and click "OK". If you want more information about what is going on, read this post and PDF attachments: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/110580-security-is-not-a-dirty-word-unraid-windows-10-smb-setup/#comment-1009109 Hope this helps...
  7. I do not consider it to be a problem if you use 'High Water' or 'Fill Up'. Both of those fill large chunks of the selected HD before it moves on to use the next disk. It can (eventually) result in spinning up several disks to generate a directory type operation. (You also want do not want to have thousands of files in a single directory as that can also really slow the generation/display of the file structure in the format that you want.) Now the OCD factor is another matter... Yes. HOWEVER, you must do a disk-to-disk type of operation. (Share-to-share operations are also fine.) Share-to-disk (or disk-to-share) operations can result in data loss when you eventually copy a file onto itself. (It has happened and the resultant file is truncated to zero length!)
  8. Try changing this to this: As pick a value of "Minimum free space:" that is about 25% larger than the biggest file you will ever copy to that share. (Your current setting of 458GB is probably about 8X larger than it need be.)
  9. You can see my two servers below. Most of that space is storing media files. A small portion of it has things like original letters, text of self-authored books, tax documents, personal financial documents, digital photographs, digital family photo albums, and copies of old family photographs. These items are simply irreplaceable if they should be lost. I backup the data on each PC once a month to the servers. (I normally don't generate new stuff that fast. Your situation might be quite different...) Every other month, I copy those irreplaceable items onto a 2.5" USB HD drive and take that drive to a safety deposit box at a bank. I have three of these drives-- two in the bank vault and one at home. That gives me (at least) four copies of irreplaceable stuff. Cost for this extra piece of mind is about $150US plus the annual rental fee for the box! You might justify using only two USB drives if the cost is a major factor.
  10. Start here: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/changing-the-flash-device/ Read through the article and you will find the instructions of getting the replacement key for your new flash drive. Make sure that you look for a .KEY file in the /config folder before you do anything to your present flash/boot drive. If you have any problems getting the replacement key, the contact information for support is in the article.
  11. Do you have a backup of the flash drive that is current? Where is saved at? If it is on the server, get the last couple of them off the server and saved on something external to the server. (Never understood why some people thought that making a backup on the server of the server's Boot Drive was a good practice...) If you don't have a recent backup, start by doing screenshots of the MAIN (do this one regardless of the boot drive backup situation), SHARES and USERS tabs. Then do screen shots of any settings pages that you think you might need. Don't forget the Dockers and any VMs. You might never need these but making them is an insurance policy.
  12. But for how much longer??? Remember that Macrium used to allow their backup software (Reflect) for free and now they have subscription/major-version plan. Their business plan was similiar to what Truenas has been using. MS may be giving their software updates away but only until your current hardware dies or is obsolete. (Remember that WIN11 only will install on newer hardware...) Plus, what about the fees for MS Office and, now, Copilot. Even the lifetime version of MS Office will lose support, updates and support after a few short years. Plus, I know they are putting Adverts in a side bar on many of their 'free' games. When will they start putting them in Office??? The handwriting is on the wall. The day that the 'home' user gets quality software for free or one time purchase is disappearing. This is not like a book. You simply take it home and use it until it falls apart. I can remember back when TV had very little advertising on it (~1948). Then came advertising between programs. (on the half-hour or hour depending on program length.) Then one ad in the middle from the single sponsor of that program. It continued to evolve until they stop play in sport events for commercials! Most of the complainants are demanding lifetime warranty and support when they make their one time purchase. Those days are now behind us. The glory days where the 'computing' market was growing at what seemed an exponential rate are gone. We are now moving into the mature market phase and those companies who are going to survive this transition are going to have to adapt. (The 'cash' cow phase probably lies ahead...)
  13. This is usually bad news! Unraid is not intended to be run a DMZ and it is usually hacked if it is. You should be using a VPN...
  14. Maybe, I am missing the point. Are you saying that your computer that is connected by a cat5 cable can not access your Unraid server that is also connected by wire when you turn on the Asus Guest network feature? That sounds like an issue you should be taking up with Asus...
