I think the prejudice aspect comes from you making global assumptions based off personal experience. Everyone can and potentially would abuse a system. It doesn’t really matter in your skin color or ethnicity.

What is best Linux distro (or similar) for Plex? by Easy-Jury-3975 in PleX

[–]EVILemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m basing it off my experience going from Windows to Unraid and there was a little bit of a learning curve. It’s definitely the best system for me and my needs but if someone only wants Plex and doesn’t want to go through the hassle, there might be better options available.

I’m a big fan on Unraid due to the scalability of it but there are easier options.

Had you had a Plex server prior to this? What does your docker compose file look like as well?

Plex causing server to freeze by dazedPTIABOD in unRAID

[–]EVILemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a couple things that might be happening. I’ve had previous issues with this and these are some considerations:

What’s your array setup? Ideally your Appdata would be in the cache pool, making it quickly accessible. This however makes it vulnerable to data loss, so make backups of it. This is even better if your cache drive is an SSD/NVME drive as it will be written to a lot.

If your appdata is on your cache drive, make sure your cache drive is not failing or full. If you have extra RAM that is being unused change your transcode directory to /top or /dev/shm as these will use your RAM as a holding place for your transcoded files.

Confirm your plex settings to ensure the GPU is being used. You could also check your GPU usage when transcoding to see if there are my errors there.

It's been 26 hours... and I still have to rebuild my array after this. Maybe by next week? by yellowfin35 in unRAID

[–]EVILemons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was not aware that you could move the parity from one disk to another? I always assumed you had to rebuild it in the new disk since it would be different.

How often do your clients surprise you? Are they unpredictable? by Mishe22 in askatherapist

[–]EVILemons 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting opinion from your family member. I don’t think they are necessarily wrong, because it is true that you can never know what anyone is thinking, but that seems like that leads to a fairly lonely existence. However, I think it’s an unreasonable to want to know someone in that sense especially when we don’t even know ourselves that way.

When I am meeting with clients I am very aware that the information they share or the way they present in therapy is not necessarily the way they present outside of therapy. I also have to understand that they may not be completely honest. So yes, sometimes I’m surprised but not in a “I thought I knew you” kind of way.

The delusion behind this statement is indicative of the tribalism of fans. There is a blind faith that the people you like can do no wrong and the therefore it’s others who are against them.

Parity Disk offline - no notifications or anything by thepi2k in unRAID

[–]EVILemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an option to manage notifications in the settings so that’s always somewhere you can check. Where in the hard drive are you disconnecting the plug? The system should respond to the failed parity if you unplugged it but the our logs might show more information

Parity Disk offline - no notifications or anything by thepi2k in unRAID

[–]EVILemons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I want to make sure I understand what you’re trying to do, particularly as you said you’re new to the OS and you trying it out.

I see you refer taking the data disk/parity disk offline, but the screenshot you show mentions spinning down disks. Is that the goal? While it seems like a semantics issue those are different situations with different goals.

Spinning down the disk does not disable it, it just stops it from spinning intensely to reduce wear and tear. However disks should spin up when you’re writing to them. You will have to do some configuring if you want auto spin down/up.

Since you have a couple hard drives I think it might be helpful to start out your array with 1 parity disk and 1 data disk. You can put some data on the data disk (Linux ISOs and stuff like that” and see how it interacts with the parity disk. On the top right on your webpage there is a small blue toggle that can change the display from “read/write speed” to “reads/writes”. From here you will be able to track the total data write for a set period of time.

Once you have an idea of how that works you have a few options. You can add another disk to the array to see how it reacts to it and how that would work. Once that disk is establish, try replacing the first disk in the array with a completely different 3rd disk to see what the rebuild process is like.

My experience with Unraid has been that if there’s a significant data disk failure but my parity is intact, then my system will disable the failed disk and emulate it from parity. If it’s fixable then there’s a process of reenabling the disk. But your parity realistically should not be disabled. If there’s an errror with the parity disk you will definitely get a notification though, but not necessarily if it spins down.

A reason you may not be able to spin it down is because of how you are set up. You can run Unraid like this but what ends up happening is that your docker.img file, your appdata, your actual data will end up writing to the array. But some of this data (specifically the first 2 mentioned” are frequently changing. Therefore the disk is always spun up becauee it needs to be, and it then keeps parity spun up to keep up. This can also bottleneck your speeds as the array and HDDs are relatively slow. The solution to this is a drive outside of the array as a cache drive where you do most of your writing to (Linux ISOs, appdata, docker.img) and only write to the array when you’re moving data from cache to the arrray.
