I have a couple of old 1TB drives that I'm going to replace with larger drives (new ones are smaller than my parity drives). Is it best practice to use unbalance first to scatter the drive, then put in the new, larger drive, or am I better to just follow the guide here (https://wiki.unraid.net/Replacing_a_Data_Drive), and not worry about running unbalance first?

For anyone else having trouble accessing the web client of the EAPController, I found a setting (I think it was under the network settings) that allowed the Ethernet connection to be bridged. As soon as I changed this setting, I was able to access the controller's webpage

I picked up a T3600 for cheap this weekend, and it has an H310 card, that looks like it can be flashed to 9211-8i. The problem is that the T3600 has almost no storage inside. I do have a Sans Digital 8 bay, dual sata connectors that I can use for storage. Is there a cable or converter to go from the SFF8087 to an e-sata cable,/bracket or sata cable that I could wire up the to case, that would allow me to use the card externally with the 2 sata ports (would have to support port multipiers)?

I fixed the issue, in case anyone else runs into it. I had to put in an older card to access the bios, but after a full weekend of trying to figure it out, I made sure the 1060 ran ok on another system (win10), with full drivers, and not sure if it updated the fw of the card or not. Then I forced all of the pci slots to gen3, not auto or gen 2 (auto is default), and it finally accepted the card

I just picked up an E5-1660 with a p9x79-e ws that I thought would be a perfect upgrade to my unRaid box, but I can't for the life of me get the 1060 to be recognized while booting (black screen, vga light on mb, and b2 error code). I thought this would be a great video card to allow for offloading transcoding, and potential VM duty, but this has been a painful 24 hours. Has anyone else run into issues like this, and found a resolution? Looks like my alternative might be to sell the 1060 and go for a 970, as it's closer to the life cycle of the x79 boards.

Picked up the E, with the Xeon :). Will test it this weekend with a windows install, then drop it into my unraid system

I have a chance to pick up a Asus p9x79-e ws and Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1660 3.3 with 16gb ram, or a Asus p9x79 ws I7 3820 3.6ghz with 16gb of ram, to replace my dual core AMD system. Both are the same price. I have an LSI HBA already, but want to get into more processing, possibly run a VM, but not much else. It's used primarily as a media server, and will hopefully be running EMBY in a docker, and possibly Media Center Master in the VM. Which board/chip would be the better choice?

I wish there was an option to automatically move the data and calculate the new parity, it feels safer(maybe just in my head) to have the data moved, before creating a new parity. I have to do this tomorrow with a dying drive, and have plenty of space in my array for the data

problem was solved with a reboot GREAT plugin!!!! Makes unRaid even easier to use.

6.2.4, and everything is updated, fresh install last night.

I just installed unRaid on a new system, and started playing with the plugins, specifically with the "fix common problems", but for some reason, I keep having it tell me that the "plugin update check" isn't enabled. I click on Notification Settings, and have it set to check once/month for plugins version, and have it notify me by browser, and notification entity is all checked. I haven't rebooted the system, is there anything else I can do to fix this?

I don't need any of the data on any of the discs, and it was running 6.1, so I didn't think the migration document was going to help.

By pool, I was referencing the pool of drives that make up my array. I'm starting a completely new system,I don't want/need anything from the old system, just reusing the key and some of the hard drives, but for a completely new system. I'll boot it up and see what happens, I can't screw anything up at this point:)

I'm re-using an existing key on a new system, new pool, etc. I pulled the key from the last system, am I better off to just plug the usb stick into the system and boot just like it was, or should I redo my thumb drive with fresh files? My concern is any pool data that may be on the thumbdrive.

Does the M1015/H310 have any capacity issues(2.2TB max??)

Sort of off topic, but I thought the PERC 6/i card on the T7400 didn't support anything larger than 2.2Tb, how did you get by this limit? I don't see a SAS or SATA card listed in your hardware.

There's another thread here that is dealing with the same issue(s) http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45088.new;topicseen#new

I've "solved" my issue by swapping out the UPS for an XS off of one of my desktops, it's now showing 150 minutes of runtime, and 3% load.

Mine is also missing the nompower setting, I'm going to swap it with an known good XS 1300 once my wife is done watching TV, and see what happens when I plug it into a Windows machine with PowerChute running on it

Posted diag.zip in the other post, this thread can be deleted

Here's my diagnostics, I'm having a similar issue with it not reporting load pct unraid1-diagnostics-20160110-1731.zip

If I'm reading this right, if we got a new install of the apcupsd 3.14.13 for unRaid, would that fix our problem? It looks like it supports Modbus over USB now. http://www.apcupsd.org/

I have an issue where my UPS is not reporting the load usage, so it can't determine the run time. All the rest of the UPS details are showing up, except for load. I thought it might have to do with my unmenu not working, but I fixed that today, and same issue. The only anomaly I can see is that for all my other packages(mail, clean powerdown, etc, they show as currently installed, will automatically be reinstalled upon re-boot. The package for the APCUPSD shows as installed, not downloaded. Here's my ups info, anyone have any ideas?

I just picked up a Back-Ups 550 UPS, and got most of the stats automatically it needs, except for the LoadPCT. Has anyone else run into this issue with the UPS app in 6.1.4?

Thanks again for this plugin, it gives a non-linux user a lot easier way to preclear disks.
