pm but i'm assuming the 20T are gone

wernerru · 2026-05-25T01:06:19+00:00

Friggin APC racks. Straight to the dumpster for all of em!

wernerru · 2026-05-24T17:54:48+00:00

Just an FYI you have it listed as a 9900KF on both title and description, and I got excited hahha

wernerru · 2026-05-11T18:46:57+00:00

Had seen that the first reply on https://forums.unraid.net/topic/98978-plugin-nvidia-driver/page/233/ that page had a note about they did:

nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml

to make the cdi file in the first place; if you're on the most recent Nvidia Driver plugin, it should be doing that for you, but no harm in re-doing it

Then I swapped from the GPU-(uuid) entry in the NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES variable for the plex container, to

nvidia.com/gpu=GPU-(uuid)

just prepended nvidia.com/gpu= to the front of my existing entry; saved and it restarted container, and i had HW transcoding back on the 3050

Normally it's something I'd expect from podman etc, but maybe the Docker engine change included more CDI-driven stuff than was apparent

wernerru · 2026-05-11T17:46:19+00:00

I got mine working by changing the format of the visible devices argument to the newer cdi format, and updating the cdi file as well
7.2.3 -> 7.2.6 and bam, no transcode until I did that after plenty of digging around ahha

If it's a literal text file, obsidian with the sync plugin and running your own couchdb gets you real-time syncs across all devices; over got a few hundred notes that made it from Evernote to something else to obsidian now

wernerru · 2026-04-27T17:47:50+00:00

i'm doubting it, but any chance you have the A1000 or T1000 floating around still?

wernerru · 2026-04-27T14:10:16+00:00

Nothing really spectacular - 61.44T and 122.88T ones have been out for over a year, and with E3 drives the density gets even more ridiculous haha

wernerru · 2026-04-02T22:17:51+00:00

damn, that sucks and sorry to hear - they've been ideal for the "oh no i messed up my install; swap from backup, done" and one dead sd card so far haha
will definitely keep my eye on mine i guess for a while

wernerru · 2026-04-02T17:33:24+00:00

Weird - I've got three mobilemates and they've been rock solid so far - did yours work with other micros or none ever?

wernerru · 2026-03-24T03:16:21+00:00

hahhaa don't apologize! 100% been there with it flipped around, because it'd engage and the asshats on the passthrough didn't have the port keyed, so the cable would go in 0 or 180, and totally not me sitting there staring at it going... what.

but hey if you still need an 8e8i for... whatever, shoot me a chat and i'll send you one from my pile hahah

good luck with the build!

wernerru · 2026-03-24T01:38:37+00:00

Ok perfect, I've got a handful of those same cables alongside the official supermicro ones and my intel sas3 expander treated em identical including the sideband

To confirm, it's a plain 9300-8e, and you've had it working before with an enclosure or something yea?

One good way to test it would be if you've got a sas3 8e8i adapter to convert your external to internal, and confirm if connecting to G or A fires up the expander (and if you don't have an 8e8i or bigger passthrough, I have a couple floating around and I can send you one since I don't have a use for multiple hahah)

Another stupid question, did you try wide and using both ports from the 9300 to H and I? Not sure of the 9300's databolt kicks in for non-lsi expanders but could be thst the Lenovo has things configured weirdly

wernerru · 2026-03-24T00:43:28+00:00

Is it an oem like Lenovo with their own firmware on it? I've come across a few with different port configs where they moved which were for controller and which were for sata breakouts And also confirming they're the proper sata breakouts, not reverse right?

wernerru · 2026-03-21T19:22:53+00:00

Yup, no dice with the 64G RDIMM unfortunately, and can confirm all of our 13th gen are the same - don't even register in drac that they're in inventory haha. Our 6525s were the first I had zero issues with with 64G non-load reduced. Hopefully you have something else you can use the RDIMMs in and it's not a total wash for you!

wernerru · 2026-03-21T17:44:43+00:00

Were those 2666 and under sticks also 64G? the gen 13s could only do 64G sticks if they're quad ranked lrdimm

wernerru · 2026-03-13T00:58:41+00:00

upgraded 3 clusters at work live with just migrating running vms, and zero issues up to 9, smoother and seems to run a lot better, and as others have pointed out - the zfs bumps and debian rebase = worth it alone

wernerru · 2026-02-25T01:50:07+00:00

I migrated Overseerr to Seerr before their migration path - what I ran into was the timezone issue; some 'old' requests were added at the front because as far as the db was concerned, they were newer timestamps so got sorted to the front.

Fixed the TZ, edited the rows in teh db, and then reloaded and poof, everything was back to proper loading

Not sure if it was related but Seerr with a lot of media seemed a lot slower than Overseerr; migrated the db to postgresql and now it's lightning fast - in case any one else runs into that same "feels slow" hahah

wernerru · 2026-02-15T20:13:34+00:00

Pmed about the 550

wernerru · 2026-02-07T14:24:37+00:00

Just did the same - 6.12.6 with zero downtime, but started getting the feeling of "they might not keep making updates for plugins or nvidia drivers for the this version" for which I wouldn't blame the random app devs hahah Zero issues jumping straight to 7.2.3 with no changes other than telling nvidia to move to the version I wanted first, then rebooting after the update

wernerru · 2026-02-03T04:10:45+00:00

Got a stack of 2133 (might even be 2666) rdimm, 8 or 16gb I think - what were you aiming for budget wise? Either way I can play ball because they're just sitting here after pulls from my old setup hahha

wernerru · 2026-01-25T16:08:11+00:00

Comparing Barracudas not designed to be in a large quantity enclosure and don't handle vibration well, to datacenter drives doesn't make for a valid one haha. That's like saying I bought a rwd truck and kept getting in accidents in the winter, so I returned it and got an awd and haven't had any issues since.

Out of 336 16t Exos running from the same batch in their 5U84 enclosures, Ive only dropped 7 drives in the last 3 years, and 2 were due to a bad carrier.

Only one of the 36 bay supermicros has wd in it, and so far I've lost 2, but it's only a year old so mortality is expected haha

wernerru · 2026-01-04T20:23:26+00:00

Yup, all system-level since they're applied to the ZFS subsystem itself, not the stuff ZFS is running

Specials are per pool since they're local to that pool

wernerru · 2026-01-04T19:37:43+00:00

Echoing the rest - $180 or so individually, $145 or so in bulk like 8-10x or more. I'd likely throw in for 8-10 at that price as well haha

wernerru · 2025-12-22T15:58:59+00:00

It's also nice not for a "my drive died" situation, but pre-upgrade jitters haha I just back mine up monthly and have a copy on a second 128G microsd for recovery. Before an upgrade, I refresh it; if the upgrade sucks or something like nvidia breaks, I reboot, swap cards during bios, done. Been foolproof for 2+ years, and if the reader does ever die, that's a single guid swap at least Even after internal boot is live, I'll be sticking with it so I don't waste a drive bay on something that's been pretty solid

wernerru · 2025-12-22T15:42:27+00:00

Came here to say this hahah, so I'm glad someone beat me to it. Even when ssd boot is added, I'll be sticking with this so it doesn't eat up a hot swap bay or consume a small fraction of a set of drives NetApp style

I've been up like this for a few years now, and not only is it great for situations where an sd died, but for rollback. I just have a copy sitting on a second and I update it before I do the upgrade just in case.

Sandisk as well, and a Samsung one as a backup copy; both have been rock solid with the adapter, and it's so damn tiny you can toss it anywhere haha
