There is a bios update. However, it only says added more CPU support. So not sure if it is worth flashing.

Roger. Thank you.

My unraid box has been getting "Call Trace" errors. Could someone please let me know the specific cause? storagearray-diagnostics-20180118-0921.zip

I pulled the flash drive and repair errors using windows 10. Put drive back in and now I can change configuration settings.

I have attached the diagnostics zip. storagearray-diagnostics-20180107-1540.zip

I cannot update plugins.. I cannot install new plugins..

I cannot get VM manager to stop. I have tried turning to off, stopping array and turning to off. Killing the PID multiple times so I can make changes to other things like network config. On top of these issues It has cause something weird with my shares. Flash is no longer visible shared. Some shares I always had access to now keep asking for passwords even though I am supplying them. Transfer speeds seem to be VERY slow. Please can anyone assist me?

I care. Could you provide steps? Also how minimal did you get the ubuntu server? I only have 4GB of ram on my Unraid box so I don't want to run VM's but looks like I have to for this to work out.

Just wanted to jump in and add another + for iSCSI. Regarding windows servers, if you are running Hyper-V, you have to have an iscsi target to store VM's on network storage.(apparently you can do this with SMB3.0+ but I have not been able to make it work..) My physical HV server does not have large drives. I would like to store my non-resource hungry VM's on my unraid server. Connected via 10GBe should have no issues with speed.

But at the same time.. Single SSD already out preforms the HDD. So Raid 0 would just continue the bottle neck..

Didnt think about cache needing redundancy.. Very well. I will leave it this way. Not like it matters.. I dont download 120GB a night.. usually 30 40 GB

Interesting.. Would I not gain anything with 240GB raid 0 cache vs a mirrored 120GB cache?

Well cache was a bad idea.. It fills up to quick. I have disabled parity and cache until I complete the move from my Raid 5 to the server.

I found that Cache was not enabled for the share I am transfering to. After enabling cache I am seeing transfers from 40MB/s to 130MB/s However it is only using 1 SSD cache. I have 2 SSD's on cache. I am thinking of setting the 2 ssds in raid 0 and making a single cache drive.

I canceled all transfers and let Parity build. It averaged about 120MB/s After parity I started transfering files. The Raid 5 is 4x 7200RPM nas drives in a USB3 Mediasonic Pro Raid box. This is connected to the unraid server by a PCIe1x USB3 card Edit: Also its currently transfering large video files. anything from 2GB to 30GB.
