You may want to check around on the b660 chipset with 13th gen cpu. I thought I read there were some issues with power consumption and overheating. Something about not being able to adjust pl1/2 settings. Unless you already have it I’d think going for a z790/690 would make more sense for the added pcie lanes.

Your power bill is going to be ridiculous lol. No clue if you can install it, it's been probably 8+ years since I last had to direct connect to a vnx like that. Everything was done via java app and never really looked at the underlying system that much. I still have a couple locations with dormant vnx racks that have been powered off for a long time. I'm trying to remember how those work, they have a main power DA with battery back up that each feeds 2 pcs that do the controlling if I remember right. You obviously could only run one. There might be a secondary controller/cache system, I'm just having a hard time picturing it. I believe the current OS runs on the first 5 (vault)drives of the first shelf. There's usually a sticker from the factory don't touch and the system defaults to boot from there. Whether you could boot from usb I can't remember.

So my server isn't booting up anymore, unfortunately not getting much clues from the on screen halt. Anyone know how to turn on the syslog to flash drive through the config files? I know I turned it off via the gui. I assumed it was just add a "1" to syslog_flash in rsyslog.conf, maybe I just need to put in a path logs\syslog? local_server="1" server_protocol="udp" server_port="" log_rotation="" log_size="1M" log_files="1" remote_server="" remote_protocol="udp" remote_port="" syslog_flash=""

That sounds like what's happening, thanks! Not sure I even have room for a new nic but I'll check. If not maybe I'll have to downgrade. For the Samsung SSD, it works great if I have it on one of the Raid controllers. I know I've swapped cables and ports and the issue has followed that device. I guess I'll try again.

So I've been having an issue the past 2 days with network dropping out. The server stays up and appears to be working as normally but no external network access in or out. It seems to happen randomly. Last night booted at 10:43 and it went out at 11:14 (syslog7-1-19), booted backup and at best guess it went out around 3:00am. Booted it around 7:45am and it's been up since (syslog 7-2-19). It's an older AMD fx-8350, at least 6+ years old. I was on 6.71 yesterday and updated to 6.72 and the issue persisted. When going to 6.7 I did have odd networking issues and had to get rid of static and go dhcp to get it to work. If I manually added a default route at the time it would work with static. unraid-diagnostics-20190702-1418.zip syslog7-2-19 syslog7-1-19

Had the same issue with the route. Worked when I added it manually but after starting array it would clear it out. Ended up just setting it to dhcp with a reservation and it worked through the reboots.

I run Unraid as a guest to ESXi still. I've been running it this way for years so before unraid had kvm. I was hesitant to switch because I used to have issues with Unraid locking up during large file transfers and becoming totally unresponsive and was worried that would affect the VMs as well. Also the idea of Unraid needing to be up kind of bothered me. They've resolved the unresponsive UI issue and I think there's actually more flexibility with KVM/Unraid as far as device pass thru. My next upgrade I'll probably try it with KVM just to see but won't be surprised if I go back to this way. If I were you I wouldn't build a secondary server, maybe just rely on cloud backup if you're concerned with the data. Google drive unlimited is only $10 a month which is probably at least what a new server would cost in power every month. Just add another DC to Unraid and see how it performs, if it works well shutdown the old one.

If you're looking for more feedback.... I agree there is a scaling issue on lower resolutions, on my 1080p laptop I need to scale down to 75% to get more then one post on the page. Also I appreciate the white theme, it's much easier for me to read. But if you're going to look at more theme options I would consider lightening the dark black stripes on the white theme. To me it's almost as jarring as the black on white theme on a laptop. Probably due to reflectiveness of touch laptop screen.

These are down to $160 for Black Friday, I assume through Saturday.

You may want to check this thread, I've only used SSD cache drives but stopping using btrfs solved my issue. This was plaguing me for at least a year or more, if multiple things going and moving a file over 10GB would hose everything up until it was complete. I only have 1 cache drive so going to xfs was easy.

After seeing that guy on reddit who got 22 I scooped one. Just shucked it and it's a WD80EFZX.

Maybe this one http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=53153

Probably not the right place to put this. But after starting docker with unraid and now using it on other systems, Unraid has spoiled me. The interface they have setup is awesome and works great. Not that setting up dockers and updating is hard, but it is kind of a pain. You can't just update an image, you have to pull it, clone it, delete it, rename it, rerun run command, blah, blah, blah.... Having all that stuff done via automated scripts makes everything so quick and easy. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or have missed it but is there a decent web interface like unraids for docker on other systems? I'm going to give docker-ui a try, but at first glance nothing appears to be as seamless as unraids built in interface.

Happened to see your post in the 1.1 thread and looked at your log. You are getting the avahi not found error. Nov 3 10:36:23 TMCINAS02 root: Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -D Nov 3 10:36:23 TMCINAS02 avahi-daemon[9528]: Failed to find user 'avahi'. Nov 3 10:36:43 TMCINAS02 root: Timeout reached while wating for return value If you follow John_M's advice I bet it fixes it for you. If they don't exist just add the 2 avahi lines at the bottom. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=50635.msg488473#msg488473

Check your logs for avahi errors.
