  1. Roger. Updated to a better cooler. I'm a little concerned about RAM clearance - but worst case I return it I suppose.
  2. Hi all, Long time unraid/plex user, looking to upgrade for 4k content. Currently running an 11 year old E3-1245 V2 on a Supermicro X9SCL with 15 spinning disks. My intention is to start from scratch on the system hardware, move my disks over and put old drives (smaller) in my existing system for a back-up for most critical data. New machine planned: Case: Fractal Design Define 7 XL + 12 extra trays CPU: Intel Core i5-12500 3 GHz 6-Core Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin Mobo: MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 HBA: 2 x LSI 9207-8i with breakout cables PSU: Corsair RM850x 850W 2 new 20TB WD Red Pros for new parity drives Want to run 18 spinning disks; 3 SSD for cache pool/app data; an e-sata for external dock. Hoping to manage 4x 4k streams plus a few 1080 clients. Hoping to handle 7-10 simultaneous users (at least half direct stream). Also run the -arr suite, a few home automation dockers, and a few VMs (development testing environments and a print server, no heavy load), would also like some future capacity so this thing can run for another 10 years. Am I limiting myself anywhere? waisting money anywhere? Can I meet my needs with something more power efficient for a 24/7-on server? Appreciate any input you have! Cheers whiteatom
  3. +1 It would also be nice to include the server name in the subject or From. If you run more than once instance, you have no way to tell which box it's from.
  4. Big plus one.. I'm getting browser notifications from my openstack instances and it's a game changer to have desktop level notifications. Seems like this would have to be done through an Limetech API due to the complexities of supporting all browsers, but it's not a huge undertaking to make this part of My Servers.
  5. It seems this plugin is being flagged in the 6.11 upgrade assistant as deprecated. Is there are upgrade available or alternative to track where each disk physically is within my case?
  6. There doesn’t seem to be a way to see parity operations underway. It would be a key admin feature to see the progress of parity checks, parity rebuilds, and pre-clears - can this be added?
  7. Ok sounds good.. is LT adding a USB backup tool? I think mine is on the way out, (very slow boot), so I'd just like to make sure I have a backup of the data!
  8. Hi all, I just started using this plugin again, and my first back up ran Monday night. It all seems to have worked, I'm seeing a dated TAR file for the app data as expected, however, my USB back up seems to just be a copy of the data - no TAR and no date-version. Is this expected behaviour? I was expecting TARs for both the "Use Compression: Yes" setting? Thanks, whiteatom
  9. I just did a fresh install and copied over my config/key files.. all seems to be well. It still seems like the 6.5.3 MD5 hash is wrong - so I don't know who can fix that!
  10. I tried that and I get the following: and the last 5 lines repeat about 20 times. Any other suggestion? EDIT: this was using the direct link for the plugin from here: . The CA plugin does not support my older version (6.1.6).
  11. Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade my backup server from 6.1.6 to the latest stable. The UnRAID Server OS plugin is there, and when I check for updates, it finds an update to 6.5.3, but when I click update, I get an MD5 error: I can't see any reason this would be failing on my system??, so is the md5 hash for the 6.5.3 zip out of sync? Any help would be appreciated!
  12. Hi all, I found a... bug? no potential enhancement in UA. If you are in a mounted drive on the CLI and then unmount the drive in UI through UA, it lets you do it - but it creates a mess. The drive won't properly unmount because it's in use, but there's no error or anything.. The disk shows as unmounted, but the directories are still there in the /mnt/disks/ - obviously accessing them causes an error. A simple mount and unmount fixes it all, but a detection for the drive being in use (similar to how the main array won't unmount if a disk is in use) would be a good improvement.
  13. I'm just looking for a pre-clear "slot", so the external should be OK. This eSATA plate with a SATA cable is exactly what I think I'm going to do. Thanks for the input!
  14. Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has found a good eSata/Sata connected hard drive dock? My case is full, and I am slowly upgrading drives. It would be very nice to have an external dock so I can pre-clear drives ahead of time. I have a USB one, but it was pre-reading at 25mb/sec and it was I realized it's far too slow for pre-clearing large drives. What I'd like to do is glue a drive dock to the top of my case and just run a Sata cable down through a small hole. I could also use an eSATA dock with a port converter card. I guess I could also just get a USB 3 card and do it that way. Does anyone have any experience with something suitable that you could recommend?
