I noticed this a while back. Every Sunday night I get notifications that something is going on with my appdata backup. After a little digging, I noticed that the backup is unable to stop certain containers to back them up. At first, it tries to send a graceful shutdown of the container and it waits for like 30 seconds, fails, and force quits it. That's when I get the notification. It's happening with prowlarrr and UMTK. I was able to fix UMTK but adding --init to "extra parameters". Adding that to prowlarr though causes it to not start at all. Any ideas? I've checked syslogs AND watched the container logs while shutting the container down and I didn't see anything. When I hit "Stop" on prowlarr, it will just spin and spin and spin and eventually say "Application Error" then it will force quit. Any help would be appreciated. If there's anything I can post, let me know if it makes it easier to track down.

I just need a simple flow that strips away all non-english subs and non-english audio.

My cleanuparr is going crazy trying to re-download episodes that are just .exe files. I have QB to skip all files that aren’t mkv so it’s not getting downloaded. After QB skips all files, cleanuparr looks for a different release. This going on and on. How do I not allow any downloads until the episode is officially released? Radarr has “Minimum availability” but sonarr doesn’t have that option.

EDIT: HOPEFULLY PEOPLE READ THIS. THE ISSUE ISN'T DOWNLOADING MALICIOUS FILES, THE QUESTION I'M ASKING IS "HOW TO KEEP SONARR FROM TRYING TO DOWNLOAD EPISODES BEFORE THEY AIR"

Edit#2: u/stevie-tv says "Minimum Availability" is getting introduced in v5 of Sonarr. This is exactly what I needed to know.

A couple months ago, I bought a Dell Wyse 5070 off eBay for like $30 because I wanted to set up VLANs on my home network. I bought a RTL8125B A+E key to gain a 2nd interface (which I use as my LAN interface). I wanted to get away from my consumer router/ap combo and instead use a dedicated machine for a router. I also bought a managed switch and AP capable of tagging traffic for VLAN management. Everything seemed to work fine for a month or so and then all of the sudden I'm losing the ability to connect to anything. I've been troubleshooting for quite some time. At first, I had no idea what was going on, all I knew was that none of my devices had internet connectivity anymore. I'm still not exactly sure what's happening but whenever it does, running ifconfig re1 down ifconfig re1 up fixes it until it happens again. I'm honestly to the point now where I just want to buy something else to run OPNsense on. I know freeBSD doesn't have the best track record with realtek NICs. I also throught about running a script that runs on a cron schedule (every 60 seconds) to ping a device on my LAN network and if it doesn't respond, it runs ifconfig re1 down sleep 5 ifconfig re1 up. I've turned off hardware unloading in OPNsense, and I've added this tunable. "hw.re.msi_disable="1". I haven't implemented the cron script yet because I was waiting to see if hw.re.msi_disable="1 will help at all. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. I don't know what else to do. If suggesting a different machine, I need something with INTEL NICs, (1 LAN and 1 WAN). WAN can be 1Gb/s, but I would like for one of the ports to be 2.5Gb/s), low power (thats the main reason why I opted for the wyse 5070 because it uses like 6 watts).

1. Yes, I've installed the os-realtek-re plugin. (even tried different versions of the driver)

Back when I initially started, I didn't know all the ins and outs. All my media is in my /data share. My overall goal is to keep tv shows and movies together. I've noticed that a movie resides on one drive, but the movie folder resides on a different drive. I've tried using split levels to keep everything together but I think my TV Shows and Movies folders are at different levels so if I choose level 4, it doesn't work for movies and if I use level 3, it doesn't work for TV Shows. Is the only way to fix this to create a new share and add a placeholder to movies so TV Shows and Movies exist on the same level? I originally allowed splitting the top 4 levels, but it seems like all new media was being sent to a single drive and not applying the "high-water" concept.

Movies: /data/media/movies/*movie name folder*/*movie file*
TV Shows: /data/media/tv/*TV Show Name*/Season/episode.mkv

I've been recently having issues where it seems the router just craps the bed around a certain time every day and I was trying to figure out why today by going through the logs. After about 30 minutes after rebooting the router (to fix the daily issue), I can no longer connect to the webui. It's always worked in the past and I haven't made any changes yet. I have OPNsense listening on several interfaces (MGMT VLAN, Main VLAN, and LAN) so I wouldn't lock myself out while I was setting up my network. I recently did some segmenting with VLANS but everything has been working great up until about a week or so ago. Any idea what's going on or do I need to add any more information? I didn't get a good look at the logs yet. I've tried to ssh in but I don't think I've enabled ssh on the router yet.

I forgot to add, all devices work fine and have internet currently while I can't connect to the webui. It's just the OPNsense webui giving me issues.

I just got a managed switch and AP (SG2210XMP-M2 and BE11000) I have the controller running as a container in my unRaid server. I've read the documentation, I've read guides, I've watched videos, but for the life of me I cannot get the switch and AP off of the default VLAN. I think unraid is making it a little bit more difficult, but can someone please explain the correct steps to take? I've tried assigning an unused port the management VLAN profile and then set the IP of the AP and set the VLAN interface of the switch to the management VLAN. After I change them, I plug into the newly configured port and change the IP address of my unRaid server, and both the AP and Switch show up as disconnected. I'm at a loss. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't want to spend another $100 on a hardware controller. Oh, I've tried the url thing and that didn't work either. I forgot to mention, I use OPNsense as my router/firewall, not an Omada router.

I've been trying to get my home network properly segmented and I'm hitting a wall that I suspect others have run into too.

My setup:

• OPNsense as my router/firewall
• TP-Link managed switch + AP (both VLAN-capable)
• Omada controller running as a Docker container on Unraid
• Management VLAN target: 192.168.10.0/24 (VLAN 10)

The problem:

Every time I factory reset my switch or AP, they come back up on 192.168.0.0/24. I can see them in the Omada controller, push my config, and the second I move them to VLAN 10 — they disappear. Controller loses them entirely. I've tried every order of operations I can think of and nothing sticks.

For context, my OPNsense VLAN setup seems solid — VLAN 10 is defined, the trunk ports between the AP, switch, and OPNsense are configured correctly, and I have firewall rules allowing traffic from VLAN 10 to my other subnets.

The Omada controller running on Unraid. Unraid's networking behavior with bridges (br0) seems to cause issues where newly adopted devices take forever to get a DHCP lease, or never get one at all without a manual /release /renew. This makes the adoption-then-migrate workflow nearly impossible to time correctly.

Someone in another thread mentioned DHCP Option 138 as a way to point devices directly to the controller's IP regardless of what subnet they're on. Is this actually the magic bullet here? Has anyone successfully used it within OPNsense's DHCP server to keep Omada adoption stable across a VLAN migration?

Would love to hear how others have tackled this — especially if you're running the controller off something other than a dedicated machine.

Edit: Updating this in case anyone stumbles on the same problem in the future even though my problem was very specific. The controller was pulling the IP address from my Tailscale interface instead of my private IP address. When I sent the devices to the new VLAN, tailscale doesn't have any firewall rules so it wasn't table to see the devices. Once I switched the controller to 10.10.100.100, the controller picked up the devices when I changed their address.

I recently upgraded to an 8-port switch with dual SFP+ ports to bridge my 2.5GbE network with a 10GbE link between my Unraid server and my Windows desktop.

Both machines negotiate at 10GbE, and I have verified the pipe using iperf3, which shows ~9.5Gb/s. Furthermore, when I use robocopy with /MT:32 /J, I consistently see speeds around 1.7 GB/s, confirming that my hardware, NVMe drives, and 10GbE link are fully functional.

However, whenever I perform a standard "drag-and-drop" file transfer via Windows File Explorer or Double Commander, the speed is hard-capped at roughly 160MB/s.

Here is what I have checked so far:

• Unraid Settings: "Enable SMB Multichannel" is set to "Yes".
• Share Settings: The share is configured for "Exclusive access," utilizing only my Gen4 NVMe cache pool.
• Desktop: The PC is also equipped with a high-speed NVMe drive.

It seems the network and server are capable of saturating the link, but I am hitting a bottleneck when using GUI-based file managers. Is there a specific Windows registry setting, SMB configuration, or group policy that I am missing to allow GUI transfers to utilize the full bandwidth?

I am new to 10GbE networking, so any advice on why the GUI performance deviates so significantly from robocopy would be greatly appreciated.

I'm fine-tuning my Unraid server's spindown timers and trying to figure out the right approach for each drive. Some drives are used infrequently enough that spinning them down multiple times a day makes sense, while others might be better left spinning continuously.

To help figure this out, I want to monitor what's actually waking my drives. I'm thinking about writing a script that polls drive states every 10 seconds and logs the active processes whenever a drive transitions from spun down to spun up.

Has anyone tackled this before? I'm open to better approaches — this is really just about fine tuning and optimizing my setup, not about drive wear and tear concerns. Would love to hear what others are using!

This is what I'm trying to accomplish.

I have Xfinity as my ISP and they do asynchronous speeds. 1Gb/s down 41Mb/s up. Download bandwidth is never an issue but upload is since I share my Plex server with friends/family. My friend text me this morning asking if something was wrong with my server because it was buffering constantly and I saw the reason was because a bunch of Linux ISOs were seeding on Qbittorrent @ 32Mb/s and the movie he wanted to watch was 16Mb/s. I need something that allows QB to use whatever bandwidth it wants if nothing else is using it, but the second someone tries to start watching something off my Plex server, it throttles qbittorrent's upload traffic. I tried creating some pipes in Firewall>Shaper along with rules and queues, but it seems like it was just throttling all traffic (even speedtest traffic) when nothing was being seeded/watched remotely. I only want this traffic shaper to come into play if the total upload is hitting the 41Mb/s or close to it (35+). Can someone point me in the direction of some guides/videos/forum posts on how to set this up? I do not want to just limit the upload rate in QB itself, because I want it to be able to use the full 41 if nothing is happening on the network. Is this even possible with OPNsense? I got some AI replies after googling telling me to use HSFC but after doing a little digging, apparently that's not available on freeBSD?

Hey all. I have an APC BX1500M UPS. I have unraid set to power off when UPS drops to 50% of battery remains or 15 minutes runtime left, whichever comes first. I also have the UPS to shut down after my server powers off. The thing I'm wondering about is, will it power back up automatically or do I have to physically power on the UPS after it shuts itself down? My BIOS settings are set to "Power on after AC loss" but I think unraid performs a clean shutdown and that bios setting doesn't come into play for this, correct? Basically, I want everything to come back on automatically in case I'm out of town or something.
