unRAID Server Setup & Management Guide (using an HP MicroServer)

<< < (2/5) > >>

XEntity:
Hi mate, are you still using unRAID?

Any issues to report, I'm surprised there are no comments on here TBH!! :)

Adrock:
unRAID has been perfectly stable for everything I've done with it. Never had any issues.

Clock'd 0Ne:
Yep, it's working a treat for me, the only issue I have is one flaky HDD which I think I will replace as it keeps copping out, I think it's not spinning up properly. Any time now there's going to be a final release so it will be out of beta, i suspect it will get a lot more attention then, although there is still the time needed with configuring it that probably puts people off a bit. I do need to finish off this guide at some point too!

bytejunkie:
so what use is this unRaid server then?


I'm guessing you set it up, then create cifs or nfs shares on it for storing your stuff?

do you then map drives to the shares so that various devices in the house can read/write?

one thing i tried was dlna against FreeNAS. i could not get it to show up in the ps3 and this is the way i wanted it to work if im honest.
alternatively, i'd be happy with streaming to the pi from plex, but not sure if i'll ever get that working either.

would i be better off looking at unRaid or do i just need to build a HTPC using ms software?

Adrock:
I use mine with SAMBA shares and basically use it as a storage box. I did have a plan a while back to do lots of things with it but I haven't had the time to do it and losing the storage could be a disaster in the household as the kids use it all the time.

You can get add ons for the unRAID system to do things like SABNZBD and quite a few other bits too but I've not really use those features much. I think unMENU would be the place to start as that collates everything you should need. One thing to note though, which isnt much of a problem unless you're gonna start sticking tons of things on it, the system in its default configuration (no extra memory) takes a good while to unpack stuff I get from usenet. It could cause issues if you begin to rely on it for playback of media as well as downloading, storage and whatever else you can think of.
