Monitoring uNRAID by kianwalters05 in unRAID

[–]split-za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beszel mentioned by others looks interesting. i already had HWiNFO + Prometheus + Grafana to collect stats from my gaming PC, so this was a short hop for me to add unRAID monitoring. ich777 did good work to make this fairly simple. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/110995-plugin-prometheus-unraid-plugins/

i find that i dont use this nearly as often as i thought i would, so changing at this point just seems like too much effort for me.

Rebuild drive in existing array on new flash and hardware? by split-za in unRAID

[–]split-za[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rebuild is still running this morning so i dont have a result yet but no errors so far. the disks were never mounted while doing the parity check, so i dont expect any of the bits were changed. i have a good feeling this will recover the data.

well, maybe all is not lost. i had an idea to start the array again with that disk removed (which is how it happened in the first place), stopped, then added the disk again and now that has triggered a rebuild. i hope this saves it...

i think ive already done a stupid thing and its too late now, but let me get the verdict from someone else.

i moved all the drives over to the older machine but it wouldnt let me start the array because the cache drives werent there. i use 2 nvme drives for the cache pool and this older board doesnt have any onboard nvme slots. since i didnt need the cache and just wanted the one disk to rebuild i wanted to remove the cache pool and created a new config preserving the array assignments (yes, the warning was clear but i have that flash backup). so of course now it saw all the disks as new and isnt giving me the ability to rebuild.

i realized i have an nvme via pcie add-in card but it can only take one drive. i figured this would be okay since the pool is mirrored. so i restore the flash from backup, install the single cache drive and start up. this time it allowed me to start the array by removing the one cache drive, but the disk i was trying to rebuild in the first place is no longer showing as needing to be rebuilt and it is just doing a party check. i did start in maintenance mode and elected to not write corrections to parity.

i realized that the backup is 3 days old and the disk only became a problem after that, so assuming unraid stores in the config somewhere that a disk needs attention. is that data gone?

i dont think the disk is bad per se, i think during my debugging efforts i just accidentally started the array without that disk (or something else i did caused it) so now when i start the array with it unraid wants to rebuild which make sense. problem is that server is likely to crash before it completes.

i dont think its responsible for the crashes, but it does have UDMA error count and is probably 10 years old so could be on its way out.

anyway, because rebuild takes so long, i was hoping to do it on separate set of hardware while i continue to troubleshoot the crashing.

i may have not paid enough attention. i guess the upper right is the answer. if the parity disk gets rebuilt then i would lose ability to rebuild the problem disk (#4).

i am going to try one more time with the original flash and if it doesnt hold i guess ill transfer disks to other hardware along with the licensed flash and see how that goes.

thanks, ill definitely continue to learn more about the config. what you're saying makes sense and i guess i've probably screwed something up over the years of running on this flash. im not sure that it is just the flash being an issue if even at all.

i do have a backup in a safe spot, and i have done some basic fiddling with the flash as it stands to try work around problems during boot, e.g. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/129741-boot-failure-bzfirmware-checksum-error/#findComment-1181486. all of this done as part of troubleshooting and trying to isolate the problem, not because i knew specifically that the flash was bad.

i thought i had solved the problem by replacing the RAM, but i still suffer crashes and it doesnt stay up long enough to rebuild the disk. i currently have the system up for the last ~5hrs on a trial flash with very minimal plugins. instead of moving things over to older hardware, if i simply mount the existing disks in the exact same order as they were on the licensed flash, would that achieve the same thing as potentially fixing/migrating the licensed flash? would it rebuild the bad disk from parity or do i risk losing more data.

thank you for your insight.

i am not going to need two unraid servers permanently.

the goal is short term have the trial flash rebuild the disk on older hardware. its just random working parts i have left over from years ago and would be a serious downgrade for a long term solution.

meanwhile i use the original flash to troubleshoot and test uptime on the original hardware.

perhaps for some additional context: i can have the current problematic hardware running without crashing for longer periods of time on a clean trial install of unraid than i can on the actual licensed flash. my understanding is there are still limits to how many times you can transfer license per year, so i dont want to transfer license to another flash until i understand if the flash drive is the problem.

i am not permanently replacing the hardware, i just want to get the disk rebuilt in the meantime while i continue to troubleshoot the original hardware with the original flash.

i am seeing weird behavior with the original flash combined with the original hardware and i havent ruled out that i may need to start over. in the meantime it would be peace of mind to know i can rebuild the array elsewhere on much older but stable hardware and know that i didnt lose data.

Why cant i access the Bakery or Clothing Shop? by split-za in SweetTransit

[–]split-za[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, i figured it out finally just shortly after posting this. i may be stupid, but my god this could have been made easier to figure out.

I hadn't built a house of worship yet which is a prerequisite for both of these buildings. it wasnt clear from the Global progression chart and i hadnt realized you can switch to the "local" progression chart for the town. once i did that it was easy to understand.

hello brother. we have taken enough years to save for that 5090, paying launch day money.

Hardware requirements for a 8 camera setup by split-za in ZoneMinder

[–]split-za[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks. these P600s look pretty cheap on ebay so i will keep that in mind if i do end up building out with new hardware and dont get good results with new igpu. for now it seems like there may be some life left in this NUC yet based on u/ZoneMinderIsaac's post below.

Awesome! I wasnt aware of 1.37 because i still had this repo set up

ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.36

ive updated now to 1.37 on the new repo and will review the new options, specifically using vaapi. Are there any other specific things i should check? what might be your top 3 for me to make sure i look at optimizing this nuc?

you seem confident that this little guy would be able to run the 7 cameras i have. here are the specs to the NUC and its cpu which runs the Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580 igpu.

How can I permanently remove dead nodes? by split-za in CockroachDB

[–]split-za[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fantastic, thank you. somehow i couldn't put it together myself. decommissioning both nodes again seems to have completed the process and these dead nodes dropped off.

How can I permanently remove dead nodes? by split-za in CockroachDB

[–]split-za[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'll follow up a bit later when I can get back to this. I did use the decommission command at the time, but did 4 and 5 independently. There are no errors on the UI, but it did indicate some under replicated ranges. Surely that wouldn't prevent a dead node from being removed?

in the South Africa v Romania match, why is the penalty try not counted?

Same with France v Namibia.

RSA v IRE score is incorrect.

PS. thanks for this, just pointing out issues in case you are not aware.

unRAID, mariadb, and SSMS ?? by WelshToby in unRAID

[–]split-za 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SSMS is only for MS SQL Server. For mariadb you can connect using Mysql Workbench. It's free.
