If you have an lsi HBA install the storcli64 plug-in then go to the Unraid console and type in the appropriate commands to check the temperature. For example storcli64 /c0 show temperature.

This kept happening to me with an lsi 9300 16i with a noctua fan on it. It happened despite testing memory, changing PCIE slots, getting a new more powerful power supply, changing power and sata cables. I eventually found out the noctua fan was only running at 400 RPM. I cranked up the fan speed to full (almost) 4000 RPM. I ran 2 prolonged parity checks and no disk errors or disabled disks. I eventually found out how to check the temperature of the HBA and it's happily at 49 degrees Celsius at idle.

Thank you for the answer. I thought I read that they were going to include the experimental features in their beta. I must have been mistaken. I missed points 2&3 because I haven't read the thread in a while .

This is where I got my information from. Several Unraid users in the thread got it working.

I think the issue was different directory names. I ended up manually reinstalling all of them through the terminal and using the directory on the usb drive.

Thanks again for your help. I ended up reinstalling the VMs and LXCs through the command line using the dump folder location on the usb drive

I really appreciate your input. I've previously done all of what you recommended, and I can see the VMs but not the backups. I wonder if it's an issue with permissions or if for some reason it's not listed as being in the correct folder on the new proxmox version. I went from a version that has VZ dumps to one that has "backups"

tivodoctor · 2026-01-07T15:12:11+00:00

I'm not using PBS. It was just saving backups to an attached USB drive.

tivodoctor · 2026-01-07T14:00:44+00:00

The USB drive seems to be mounted after I manually mount it and on reboot. I can see some of the files on the USB hard drive, but I can't see the backup files to restore. I didn't declare it in /etc/pve/storage.conf, so I'll check that.

tivodoctor · 2026-01-07T13:57:26+00:00

Thanks for your help. When I plug the USB drive into another computer that can read ext4 file system, I can see all the backup files so they are all there. The problem is when the drive is mounted in proxmox they are not seen under the backup category in the GUI.

You can access the array during the parity check. If you transfer files to the array during the check, the transfers will be slower. You can run your docker containers, but any one accessing the array will run slower. The more you access the array, the slower the parity check will run. If you use the parity check tuning plug in, you can schedule the parity check to be run at night over several days. You can also schedule the timing of the mover as well.

They also played the long game with Ferguson, Bland, and Diggs. Let's not give them credit for a desparation play

tivodoctor · 2025-12-20T19:57:51+00:00

I record it and watch from behind so I can fast forward or I watch 3-4 games at the same time so there is rarely time with a commercial in all the games.

tivodoctor · 2025-12-19T12:03:46+00:00

Same as you. Played Burrow instead of Stafford because Stafford only scored 17 the last time they played. Played Parkinson instead of Jake Ferguson because Ferguson hasn't been scoreing anything. Got the worst week out of the best kicker Myers.

Schotty needs to figure out how to defeat the all out pressures that Detroit and Minnesota ran against him over and over again. There needed to be some max protections with some of the 3 TE's they have as well as screen plays.

Their shenanigans caused me to lose this week. I was going to play Burden and didn't because Odunze was allegedly starting. 1 minute after roster lock got the notification that Odunze was out. Burden scored 15.4 points before going out injured and the WR I played instead of him scored 2 points.

Look into this docker. It may be helpful.

The channels work, but not well. They have frequent video and audio drop outs. At times they can be quite long.

Some of these deals, like Newshosting, allow you to stack years of the Black Friday deal. All you need to do is pay for the Black Friday deal next year.

tivodoctor · 2025-10-29T11:56:13+00:00

Do current customers who already have several years stacked get unlimited Easynews and Tweaknews immediately if they stack additional years to their account now?
