Good Day Everyone! I wanted to ask a quick questions and see if anyone else was having the same issue or had a fix... Currently I seem to have an issue where I use SAB and Sornarr and once something has downloaded These two programs then extract and move the file to its correct location on my unraid server via SMB. However... While this works 99% of the time it appears that now and then something goes wrong the and folder permissions are reset. ( for the folder its copying to) Then then only way I can fix access to that folder is to run the "new permissions" on the whole share to make things work again... Then I am good to go.. The odd thing here is... First of all Everything is using SMB and Windows... to read and write to this share.. ( I am not using any of the unraid dockers of features to run that software) Also as I am using the Windows based software for everything there are no Linux based permissions settings I can find anywhere... that I can see would effect this.. I am trying to work out how in the word of pure SMB how these permissions are getting screwed up and how I can fix this problem as its creates issues as you can image.. Anyone else had to deal with this ?

MowMdown : Will do thank you :) I have decided that I am going to split up my storage into two setups, a freenas... That I will use zfs2 on and put my critical data on and then slowly expand my unraid with 8tbs as needed.

In the US, I get 4tb at about 90-100 each.. 8tb I can only get my hands on for around 200+ so price wise about the same same per GB but I am not wanting to spend $200 per pop as I buy them when needed... Also already have lik 26 4tb drives already atm If I was buying them all in bulk at once, then yeah I would do the 8TB but spreading the cost over time to keep the outlay cheaper and as I need it

no worries, I could use bigger drives and drop the numbers down but the reason why I am not is cost 4tb are a lot cheaper then 8tb my goal was... 2x 4TB parity and 34 x 4TB data. But as you said that past the limit of what I can do with unraid it appears with one license .. and to be honest getting another license is not really a big deal there, what is crappy is the whole new server and having to split my storage etc etc.. Using a hardware raid would negate the purpose of using unraid.. If I was going to go down that path I would just use free NAS again. The Only reason why I use Unraid is the flexibility of the way it dose its storage. I know that the ZFS roadmap now has features coming that will enable it to act a lot of ways like unraid with adding an removing storage but that is not until 2018 and I would also wait to see if freenas took it on. but for right now I think you have given me a good clear answer thankyou!

Damn I was afraid of that... So I am going to have to buy another version of unraid, setup another server with another set of network shares and divide up my storage is there no other way around this ?

Also dose anyone know how to make the location disk light flash on a disk away for a disk you want to find.... So if I want to replace a failing disk etc.. with out having to pull all he disks just to find the sn ?

Hi there, I am sure this has been asked before but wanted to just get a quick answer as it seems to be mixed. I currently have 36 4TB Sata disks that I want to use on with unraid server, While I have the full version and I believe there is no "disk Limit" what is the real limit when it comes to having this array setup with so many disks, Can I use all 34 disks with 2 parity disks and still have protection ? Do I need more then one copy of unraid ? or can I have second pool ?

would you like me to remove this post ?

Yep it was a config issue on my end... User error!

haha The more you know. My bad looks like I have some work to do then to sort out why mine are always green! Thanks for the information!

appears I might have by the sounds of it... In a way w00t... means the feature is already there haha, Is there a Bug section we can move this thread to ?

Nope Alas... and attached

Hi Folks! One of UNraids big features is that the disks are only used when needed etc, Maybe add a status icon to the disk to advise if its spun up/down? Stuart.

Interesting so I did the docker one... But I could not access any of the settings in the VM Menu because I get the hardware is not supported... I am guessing that if the hardware is supported then the setting option appears to disable ?

Understood and these are good points with the low writes/reads this is less of an issue I guess, My setup is a little more out of the box then normal so I can see that being a factor for me as well, But it would also be nice to see unraid be a more portable so to speak, I am not talking all hardware support etc just the generic out of the box support.
