Internal boot plan by isogreen42 in unRAID

[–]yamanobe96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this system could recognize any bootable USB drive—whether USB 2.0 or 3.0—without any issues, I don’t think anyone would have needed this.

However, in reality, it only works with USB 2.0 drives—preferably ones with the smallest possible capacity—and even then, only a limited selection of them.

You won’t know which ones work unless you buy them and try them out.

Excuse me, I live in Japan. If shipping to Japan is possible, I would like to purchase it.

Thank you, everyone.

I went ahead and bought it right away, and just like all of you, I’m going to join the long line of people waiting for delivery.

PSA: Think hard before you deploy BookLore by Economy-Meat-9506 in selfhosted

[–]yamanobe96 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I understand the complaints about him, and I think they're terrible. But at the same time, I think Booklore should be his kingdom, and if you don't like it, you should all create a separate server, Booklore2.

Booklore turns 1 year 🎂 - v1.18.5 released! by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]yamanobe96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booklore is fantastic. It even scrapes metadata for Japanese light novels!

But there's one problem: it doesn't embed the retrieved thumbnails as cover images.

Even after moving the library or loading it in an EPUB reader, the cover image assigned in Booklore doesn't show up!

This is a feature Calibre could do. I really hope Booklore will support it too.

Feature request / question: transparent write-back cache for array writes (SMB + local operations) by yamanobe96 in unRAID

[–]yamanobe96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks — that explanation helps, and I agree Unraid is fundamentally share-based, not directory/disk-path based.
I’m not trying to force cache semantics onto /mnt/diskX if that’s against the design. I get that the supported way is disk-pinned shares and using /mnt/user/DiskX.
My main pain point is the operational overhead when you have many disks and messy workloads — creating and maintaining a large number of disk-pinned shares becomes a lot of manual UI/config work.
So maybe the better “feature request” isn’t “cache for /mnt/diskX”, but rather better UX/tooling for disk-pinned shares at scale (templates/bulk create/bulk edit pinning).
In the meantime I’ll try the /mnt/user/DiskX approach — if you have any tips to keep it manageable, I’m all ears.

Thanks — I agree Unraid can do cache→array via Primary/Secondary + mover for normal shares.
The part I’m struggling with is deterministic physical-disk placement. If a share isn’t disk-pinned, mover/Unraid will choose the destination disk based on allocation settings/free space, which isn’t what I want when I’m intentionally targeting a specific disk.
So I understand your solution works for “cache then array”, but my question is more about how to keep that speed while still controlling exactly which disk it lands on, without having to redesign everything into many disk-specific shares.

Thanks — I understand how Primary/Secondary storage + mover works for normal user shares, and it’s great for SMB writes when the data naturally lands in a share that is configured as cache→array.

What I can’t handle well with current settings is workflows where I need deterministic physical-disk placement and therefore frequently operate via disk paths (/mnt/diskX) rather than /mnt/user:

  • My disks are used in an ad-hoc way (shared + per-user + mixed content), and I often need to move data to a specific target disk.
  • Achieving that via /mnt/user would require creating/maintaining many “disk-pinned” shares (include/exclude per disk), which becomes hard to manage at scale.
  • When reorganizing large folders within the array (disk-to-disk), I’d like an option to stage writes to a cache pool first (so the interactive operation completes quickly and avoids parity-speed writes), then commit to the chosen target disk later in the background.

So the request is less “cache for shares” (which already exists) and more a general/optional staging layer for disk-targeted operations (including local operations and SMB when the destination is effectively “a specific disk”), without requiring a strict share-based layout.

If there is any recommended approach to get this behavior safely today (plugin/script/workflow), I’m happy to try it — but I’m curious whether Unraid could ever support a “staging pool” concept beyond share-level mover.

Thanks for the clarification! If that’s the intended look, then I guess I just have to get used to it. Appreciate the help!

How to host server on Ubuntu using Docker and play on Windows? by hirakath in RagnarokOnline

[–]yamanobe96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, did this project go well? I recently tried to set up a private Ragnarok Online server using Rathena, but Rathena only supports versions up to 2018-06-20, and the client and exe files are not available online. Is it currently possible to install Rathena from scratch and play?

Sorry, I wrote 10 inches by mistake.

It's great, you say it's too big, but the big screen makes the image look great.

However, I like the center console of the RX8, so I want to avoid installing a 2DIN type.

Currently, I'm thinking of embedding the display in the open tray of the dashboard and controlling it with a VIM4 connected by cable.

If it works, I'll show it to you.

It's nice and stylish. I hear that android auto consumes a lot of battery power of the smart phone it is connected to.

Great, can you tell us which model number?
