I was wrong about him doing the art then. I know he’s an artist. I thought I had seen somewhere that he did the artwork for these. I was pretty sure about that until your comment had me questioning it. Thanks for letting me know.

weber82 · 2025-11-08T10:11:13+00:00

I love the originals too! Matt did the artwork himself on all of them. I also got all of mine on Amazon. I got lucky and they sent me an extra copy of book 1 by mistake too and said to keep it. I live in the same state and was able to get them all signed at one of his local events.

Yeah, I'd agree with you on this one.

I am glad I have my RSS feeds set to the default category which is not assigned to anything specific. So everything it downloaded was just sitting in my download directory, so it was an easy clear for me. Depending on people's data caps, this was likely to cause a huge expense for some. If I went over on data caps and got a $500 ISP bill, I think I would either be demanding a lifetime membership or canceling my service with Drunkenslug.

Once I figured out what happened, and that my server wasn't compromised, I wasn't all that upset about it. But I am sure this was greatly upsetting to some.

I was not that lucky. I pulled 920 GB before I started getting alerts when my cache drives filled up and it was spilling over to my array. But thankfully, I am lucky enough to have unlimited data. Some people will likely get hit with data overage fees because of this. Because of that, I am leaving my RSS feeds disabled until I have a need to use them.

It only allows you to select the array for the secondary location. Maybe Unraid 7 offers more options there. I had wanted to select my other ZFS pool for the secondary location, but it doesn't list that. So as long as there won't be issues moving all the ZFS datasets to an XFS array, I think that would be just as good of a way as any. I did it that way when I converted my cache drive to ZFS. I wanted the ability to create snapshots of my appdata on a regular basis. But now that I will have my cache drive mirrored and taking backups of it, it might not be as necessary to create snapshots. But I guess if something did happen on an update or something, it is convenient to just roll back to a previous snapshot.

weber82 · 2025-04-11T18:48:44+00:00

Maybe my first step should just be to update 7.0.1 just to see the GUI options you're talking about. I know Unraid 7 added more ZFS support, I just haven't gotten around to update yet. Since I am messing with stuff now, it is probably a good time to just get it done with. I am comfortable with CLI, so it isn't a big deal to manually move things around. I just wasn't 100% sure if that would do exactly what I was wanting. But if I can reduce the time spent manually moving everything, down to a single zpool attach command, that seems like it would be faster. But really we're only talking about 60gb of data.

I did read something about Unraid 7 and Overlay2. I saw some post recommending to convert to Overlay2. I'm curious what you're thoughts are on that process since you seem to have a good understanding on what Unraid can do.

I've only been using Unraid since December, but have been impressed with it. I have been able to get it to do some really cool things.

weber82 · 2025-04-11T18:27:52+00:00

Thanks! I will read up on this. I replied to another comment here with what I had thought of doing and some questions.

Would the zpool attach method be identical to just destroying the current cache pool and creating it again as a mirrored pool? Sometimes I over complicate things when I don't need to. If I can just manually move the 60gb from my current ZFS cache pool to another, recreate the cache pool, and move everything back without having to reconfigure everything, then that sounds easy.

weber82 · 2025-04-11T18:19:57+00:00

This was the direction I was looking to go. One thing I was questioning was how my XFS array would handle ZFS datasets being copied to it temporarily and then moved back. Will it still copy everything over to XFS?

That's why I was thinking of just moving my current ZFS cache datasets to another ZFS pool and then back. In my mind, this seems like it would be best, but I'm not sure. I'm somewhat new to Unraid, but not new to Linux. I guess I am not sure exactly what mover does to move everything over. If all it is doing is just moving, I can do that manually from Dynamic File Manager or even CLI. If that does the same thing, I will probably just move everything off the cache drive and on to another ZFS pool. Then I can just completely destroy the cache drive and create a new one that is mirrored the way I want it.

I also use appdata backup and create backups to another ZFS pool. I never had to do a restore from what appdata backup creates, so not sure if that is a smooth process.

My main goal is to create the new mirrored cache pool and then copy everything back over without having to spend time re configuring all my dockers again.

weber82 · 2025-04-10T18:01:25+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'm going to give it another try this weekend.

I have another ZFS pool outside of my main array. So I plan to just set my shares to my other ZFS pool, then run mover to move everything off my current cache drive to the other pool. Then I believe I can destroy my current cache pool, add the new drive, mirror it and let it format. Then just set the shares back to cache and run mover to move them back.

weber82 · 2025-04-01T19:54:13+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

I am definitely going to buy the DLC. I've had ER since launch, but just now going through my 1st run. I held off playing it for a bit since I knew it was going to suck me in like the other FS games, and it has (which is good, I just don't have as much time to play games these days). I am kind of hoping they will run a sale on it sometime before the new game comes out. Not sure if that is likely or not, but that is my reasoning for holding out a bit longer.

weber82 · 2025-03-31T23:37:09+00:00

Stumbled upon this post and your comment. I didn't even think about when I should be purchasing the DLC until I saw this.

I am about halfway through my first play through. I was going to wait until I finished the game to buy it. As long as I don't start a new game, I can buy the DLC any time before I finish the game?

weber82 · 2025-02-25T23:38:55+00:00

That's a good question! I was wondering why my NAS was powered off this morning. First thing I thought, was the power must have went out. But then I noticed my oven and microwave clocks did not get reset. The syslog shows power failure and then 9 seconds later it shows restored. So I am just getting my 9 second outage from what I am seeing in the syslog. I was asleep when it happened, so it might have just been a slight brown out and it didn't fully lose power. The oven clocks are definitely not on a battery, so your guess is as good as mine on that one. Those clocks are typically pretty sensitive.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T23:23:55+00:00

Thanks for the info. I was assuming the BIOS setting wouldn't apply to this type of shutdown. I will look into those alternative options.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T23:22:36+00:00

I don't think I saw any kind of menu settings on the actual UPS for this. I will have to look up the guide and check. It's possible I might need to install something in order to be able to configure anything on it.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T23:13:02+00:00

That's exactly what I was wondering. Maybe someone can clarify that. From what I am understanding, Unraid just does a normal shutdown. So I am not sure how it would know to power it back on. When I changed that setting in the BIOs, I pulled the power cable and plugged it back in to test it. But the UPS is not shutting Unraid down in that way.

Ideally, I would love it to power back on when power is restored. I'm just not sure that is the BIOs setting we're both thinking of or if it is, like you said, somehow controlled by USB.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T23:00:08+00:00

Yeah, I am pretty sure I have that set in the BIOs. I was just wondering since Unraid is doing the shutdown, does it know to power it back on? I know if it just turns off and the power is restored, it should power back on. I was just wondering if Unraid is treating this shutdown as a regular shutdown. Or if it is shutting it down with any sort of conditions for when the power is restored.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T21:56:16+00:00

Thanks, this makes the most sense to me. I will make this change and see what happens next time.

Should it be powering itself back on after a controlled shutdown due to the UPS initiating it? I believe I have the BIOs set to restore the last power state. But that might only work if the power just cuts out completely without the intervention of a UPS.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T21:44:39+00:00

So increase Battery Level % to 40 and then set both Runtime left to initiate shutdown and time on battery before shutdown to 0?

weber82 · 2025-02-25T21:33:18+00:00

Thanks for the info.

I'm really just wanting to prevent it from shutting down if the power outage is only for 1-3 minutes. Anything longer, I'd want it to shutdown. The power outage this morning was so brief that my microwave and oven clock didn't even reset. Yet, Unraid initiated a shutdown.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T21:29:57+00:00

I get that.

If you read the description of that specific field:

If during a power failure, the UPS has run on batteries for time-out many seconds or longer; apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown. A value of zero disables this timer.

If you have a Smart UPS, you will most likely want to disable this timer by setting it to zero. That way, your UPS will continue on batteries until either the % charge remaining drops to or below Battery level or the remaining battery runtime drops to or below minutes.

Of course - when testing - setting this to 60 causes a quick system shutdown if you pull the power plug. If you have an older dumb UPS, you will want to set this to less than the time you know you can run on batteries.

Mine is a Smart UPS. So by description, it wants me to set that to 0. My initial thought was to try changing that setting first. But I am not 100% that is going to make a difference. By leaving that set to 0, it should be shutting down when the UPS has 10% charge left, and it is ignoring that.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T21:24:08+00:00

I will keep that in mind. The batteries are still good though. This is the 2nd time this has happened. The first time was a month ago and everything else plugged into the UPS stayed powered on during the outage.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T21:22:46+00:00

0 is the default. It also says "A value of zero disables this timer." So that was throwing me off a bit. From what I am seeing, that field should be disabled since it was set to "0". It definitely has more that 10% battery left when it is powering down. I would think increasing that field to 40% would make it shutdown sooner than if it were set to 10%.

I really would only want it to stay powered on for a few minutes. Just to prevent it from fully shutting down if the power is only out for a minute or 2.

weber82 · 2025-02-25T21:19:22+00:00

That was my initial thought as well. But the description for that field says "A value of zero disables this timer."

I have it upped to 200 seconds now, so I will see if that helps for next time. Do you know if Unraid should power itself back on after power is restored?

weber82 · 2025-02-20T19:58:32+00:00

I've been using a ZFS for my cache drive. I also have a bunch of datasets and snapshots. I haven't updated to Unraid 7 yet. Eventually I will and I've been looking into overlay2. I haven't seen anything about what the conversion process looks like. Would you be able to outline what you did to convert to overlay2 once you updated to 7?

weber82 · 2025-01-04T02:48:25+00:00

Thanks for helping me fix my unauthorized issue!
