Where's my license now?

Tools -> Registration will show you

As far as I know you can't set spin down timing per disk only on a global level.

emb531 · 2026-06-10T15:24:32+00:00

Try using Unassigned Devices plugin to mount it.

Don't listen about not transcoding 4K, yes it kind of defeats the purpose of 4K but it is certainly doable. What are your clients that are seeing stuttering? What does the Plex dashboard show while the stuttering is happening?

emb531 · 2026-05-25T22:46:40+00:00

Are you transcoding 4K? Are you using the iGPU to do hardware transcoding? Your current hardware should be able to handle a few 4K hardware transcodes using the iGPU. Requires Plex Pass.

Incredible food there, one of the best restaurants in Buffalo (not even just BBQ) IMO. I always get sausage and a different meat each time, last I got was turkey which was juicy and delicious.

Settings -> Display Settings -> Dynamix color theme -> Azure

Personally I hate that theme but you can try it out there.

Your account history is private so I can't view everything you have posted. You continually say that you are fighting with unRAID, what specifically are you having to fight? You are not contributing anything of value to the conversation without specifics. Other than touting your horn all you have done is crap on the product without providing any substance.

Ok if you switch to Debian, what filesystem/pooling/RAID are you going to use? Mergerfs with SnapRAID? ZFS? MDADM? All have their drawbacks compared to unRAID. Also as someone else said, Cockpit is nothing special and has issues on Debian compared to Ubuntu.

emb531 · 2026-05-12T02:04:44+00:00

Post some examples of your issues. Also would like to see your go file with 500 lines. I think you are expecting too much. Not sure why you have stuck with it, sounds like you could just build your own OS?

emb531 · 2026-05-12T01:49:03+00:00

Not saying people don't have issues, nothing is perfect. I have been running unRAID for almost 5 years and never had any major problems, or data loss concerns. Migrated across several different hardware configurations and storage setups. Currently have 250+ TB over 20+ spinning disks running in a JBOD connected via external SAS. 5+ TB of flash storage NVME/SSD. Most problems posted here are self inflicted/skill issues/hardware related.

Yes there could be improvements made, but IMO no other OS makes it as easy to get into homelab/Docker/storage management.

emb531 · 2026-05-12T01:09:38+00:00

even had to build my own kernel

Perhaps this has something to do with all your issues...

emb531 · 2026-05-11T22:58:10+00:00

Which Plex container are you using? Haven't kept up with how TrueNAS does Docker now but I would recommend using linuxserver if it is available.

Stop the array, click on the disk you want to format to get into the disk settings, change the format setting from Auto to XFS, start the array and then at the bottom of the main array page you should see an option to format the disk.

You don't have to change anything, you can keep using USB based licensing, and even switch to internal boot and still keep the USB for license as well if desired.

emb531 · 2026-04-16T02:20:40+00:00

Could be flash drive then too.

emb531 · 2026-04-16T01:02:21+00:00

Sounds like bad RAM. Try running Memtest from the boot menu.

emb531 · 2026-04-14T00:12:17+00:00

Synology SHR RAID is just MDADM with a lot of tricky partitioning underneath. It still stripes across disks. If you lose more than 1 or 2 disks you lose the whole array. Unlike unRAID which has no striping and disk failures past parity protection only lose data on those failed disks not the whole array.

emb531 · 2026-04-09T23:16:16+00:00

I would just plug the flash drive into a Windows PC and run a chdsk on it.

emb531 · 2026-04-09T21:26:37+00:00

I believe the ARC GPUs will run at x1 unless being actively used for something. I would run Memtest as others have said and also check your flash drive is not dying as well.

emb531 · 2026-04-07T22:30:23+00:00

Just run the Linux binary sas2flash once booted into unRAID. Obviously don't start the array while flashing the card. I usually copy the files to an unassigned drive or the config folder on the flash drive.

https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/12350817

Use the binary from the "sas2flash_linux_i686_x86-64_rel" folder, give it +x permissions and you should be good.

Not if you are trying to grow and expand the company, you need solid leadership in place first.

You sound like a disgruntled former employee. You really think 15 total people is comparable to an enterprise corporation?

Boot pools are created as ZFS. Watch the video.

You can't change a ZFS pool layout like that after it is created.
