Sorry I have a lot of devices that I don't want to computer janitor all day every day and pi-hole is the easiest way to do it? And I consider myself fairly willing to putup with CJ headaches. No, it's not the best way to do it but it sure as poo poo is a lot simpler than managing 15+ devices; and its not like it *hurts* from an ad blocking perspective, either.

RGB would be more interesting with 40 strands of it in wild knots around coolant tubing filled with different fluorescent dyes, pulsing to whatever music's on. But instead they put it around fans or whatever.

My sister's Synology DS916+ (4x8TB in RAID6) is reporting a degraded status with 1 disk failing. We had been planning on expanding her capacity soon anyways since her drives are nearing the 4 year mark. I was wondering whether it would be better to replace the failing disk with another 8TB one, and then after it's healthy again then we do the expansion with 12TB disks. Or is it possible to just replace the failing drive with a larger one since we are going to replace the other drives anyways?

Swap it with the bigger disk and then you've finished upgrading that disk AND it isn't degraded anymore.

Yeah, but the OP wants to expand anyways with 12TBs across the board from the sounds of it. They should be able to just slam in a bigger drive and have it rebuild the array - although you won't realize any of the extra space until all drives are upgraded via the same method (rebuilding between each disk). That is my understanding at least - that was my plan to upgrade my 3TBx4 RAID5 array in my synology to 8 TBs - just swap the drives one at a time and rebuild the array between each.

I'm not moving to reddit. In other, surely absolutely shocking, news, the WDN0EFRX line that was quietly pulled from stores a few months ago, is one of the drives that's being reintroduced as ~guarenteed-to-be-CMR-Red~, despite the fact that Red Pro already exists. No word yet on the premium it'll sell at, but I imagine it'll be even more worth it to shuck as a result of this.

It will run 24/7 but under very little load, so it's gonna be NAS HDDs, but for the moment I won't mind if it goes down for a day or so, so I'll skip RAID and just set up rsync backups. Why not just plug a USB thumb drive into it and read from there For a tiny personal webserver that's probably reasonable. You can get reliable 128gb thumb drives all day long for $50, and there are some sketch looking 1TB drives for $40. And then setup some sort of S3 backup of critical files and serve from there

I know you should disable cache before doing a big data move but theoretically what happens if an unRaid cache device fills during a file transfer/operation?

cr0y posted:I know you should disable cache before doing a big data move but theoretically what happens if an unRaid cache device fills during a file transfer/operation? It depends on the settings you made for the cache drive. It'll either stop because it's full or it will start writing things directly to the array after the cache drive is full. Edit: I'm not home so I don't have my setup in front of me, but this table has the idea: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/46802-faq-for-unraid-v6/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-537383 8-bit Miniboss fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Jun 26, 2020 |

Does Unraid really have no better option for creating a bootable USB under Linux than the very unreliable make_bootable_linux script? I managed to use it successfully once before but now even after several retries the USB just isn't bootable despite the script saying it executed successfully. Also, does anyone use ZFS with OMV or is that a recipe for disaster?

Hadlock posted:Why not just plug a USB thumb drive into it and read from there Well I don't need a lot of storage but I do need more than that. If I'm going to go with unreliable storage + backups, external 2.5 HDDs beat thumb drives in everything but noise and size (neither is a particular concern). I have decided to go with that, in fact, so I just bought another Maxtor 4TB drive. I will mitigate the 'it takes a week to restore from the cloud' problem by adding a thumb drive to back up the docker-compose + Caddyfile and some smaller paths like the Bitwarden database.

That's probably still not a bad idea with only 4 drives. Those are 200 instead of 150 but if they're actually built for NAS then there's some added value/safety there. I'm pretty much rolling the dice on getting decent drives and praying that 2 drives of parity would save me if a dud does sneak through. Is there any kind of overall health check you can do on a new zfs pool before you start writing data to it beyond just S.M.A.R.T. and that would complete in less than a week? e: fletcher posted:Aw dang, I thought I fixed the bug! Yeah if you are still seeing that issue with my latest changes, I can add in some automatic retries Since things are still up in the air, could I get a hand with this? I was using the Chrome plugin SA Archiving Tool, and while it does ok for smaller threads it's choking on megathreads like the Retro FPS thread. I got it installed with the pip command, but then realized I was still on Python 2.7 or whatever. Upgraded to 3.8 and tried running the install command again but the files still just show up in .local/lib/python2.7 or similar. What do I need to do to reinstall under Python 3.8?

I thought I'd seen it mentioned in this thread, but Reddit seems to agree. Also this guy: some user comment on bestbuy.com posted:There are WD Red drives inside with NASware 3.0. Be sure you get the drive manufactured in Thailand not China. The Thailand drives have a 256mb cache and the China ones are allegedly only 128mb. I found this out from a YouTube video by JDM_WAAT published on 7/26/2017 titled "Western Digital Easystore 8TB (WD Red inside) unboxing and shucking. I verified the 256mb cache on my Thailand drive (WD80EFAX-68LPHN0). The video shows how to open the enclosure without breaking it and shuck the drive in great detail. A+ would shuck again. D.

My 'system' in this case is a Pi 3B, and I'm not quite ready to get a Pi 4 yet just for the USB ports. I'm sure between my Windows and Linux machines I've got some USB3 ports somewhere, is a badblocks test really that beneficial? Conveyance doesn't seem to be an option with the EasyStores I've been getting, according to smartctl -i. I had to jump through a few hoops to get the drives to mount at all, I had to install an NTFS package before I could mount the drives and need to add a '-d sat' to all the smartctl commands

Your Python 3.8 installation may require you to use the command pip3 if pip is for 2.7.

Let me know the threadid as well, makes it easy to reproduce issues. I am too lazy to write proper tests. I fixed several issues that probably led to 0 byte pages so be sure to double check any existing exports you may have created, also fixed some issues with downloading images. Instructions for how to upgrade are in the readme. I'm a bit hesitant to broadcast this tool to a wider audience, probably wouldn't be great for the SA servers if too many people were using this.

Also this guy: That supposed fact is complete hearsay though, with no statistics behind it, so I'm just going to disregard it. If people don't back up statements like that with statistics, they're usually making poo poo up - possible to fit their per-conceived notions. Conveyance test missing usually indicates a terrible binning of the underlying product, so I hope you've got mirroring or something like that setup, and that you practice safe backup strategies (ie. do you test your backups? If you just backup and assume it'll work, there's a pretty good chance that it won't; case in point, the best way to do it is to automated the whole backup and checking, and have it alert you if it fails). fletcher posted:Was it just timing out and hanging forever? Might be due to the HTTP requests lacking a timeout, I added a fix for it here: https://github.com/fletchowns/awfulutils/issues/13 The switch for tuning timeouts is highly appreciated though, since I'm on FTTH with my own DNS, if something isn't working fairly fast, I know it's not going to work within a reasonable timeframe. Oh, I've already mentioned it in another thread, possibly also on a discord. orz FWIW, it doesn't really hammer the servers that much with the way you've written it - at least based on my understanding of the code. It's a lot better than curl, for example.

Also the warranty for the 1515+ was extended to 4 years, so if it is just over 4 years, than it would be out of warranty. They added a year on the default one, so 3 for DS415+ 4 for 1515+ and 4 for 1815+

If it's just over the 4 years, you may have luck contacting your retailer to get it in under the wire, too. It's worth a try, at least.
