Hi all, looking for some advice on how to handle long wake ups during the night when its not feeding time.

After reading Precious Little Sleep a while back, we transitioned from boob to sleep, to boob, bath, lullaby+rocking 50 times, then sleep (and also using the same lullaby+50 rocks for naps and overnight wakeups when it wasnt the right time for boob)

This worked great for 2 months. Now our daughter is 11 months old, we decided to try shifting to boob, bath, books, bed. Putting her down in the crib, sitting up, with the lights on, turn off the lights and leave the room. She's been absolutely amazing with this, and passes out after ~1 minute of fussing. Normal bedtime is 6.30-7pm (its pitch black here at that time)

But! She's also been waking up every night sometime between 9.30 and 10.30, and has kept crying most nights for an hour, before mum decides she needs to go in and either rock or feed her to sleep.

For daytime naps, we're aiming for 6am wakeup, 9am(ish) nap for 1 hour, and 12-1pm(ish) nap for 1-2 hours (depending on when she wakes up). We're still doing lullaby and rocking for daytime naps.

So, my question is, what can we be doing better to avoid the 9-10pm wakeup? I'd REALLY love it if she didnt wake up till around midnight for a feed. Then we can start working on cutting out the 3am feed, and ideally to full nights of sleep!

And, if she does wake up when its not a good feed time, any tips on how to get her to settle? or do we just keep leaving her to cry it out (even if its an hour+) and let her figure it out herself.

Thanks for all the help! This group has been fantastic as a resource for so much of our sleep training journey!

I'm pretty new to all this, and luckily came onboard just as Unraid started allowing internal boot!

I've opted to set my Beelink ME Mini Nas' internal 64gb eMMC as the internal boot drive. It is otherwise not being used for anything else.

I'd love to know though if anyone thinks this is a bad idea. It would be great to avoid having to otherwise buy an additional SSD NVME drive just to use for the internal boot though!

I'm running into an issue during the install of SpaceInvaderOne's homeassistant_inabox. It appears to be setting up the docker container and the VM, but the VM wont start, and throws this error:

operation failed: unable to find any master var store for loader: /etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/be0c8431-b62c-4a41-9faa-8fb8701aea6e_VARS-pure-efi.fd

I'm an amateur with all things linux and this is my first unraid install. So any assistance would be awesome!

On a side note, I'd like to ensure the VM's and Docker containers are all running on my cache drive. Is this as simple as changing the setup paths from /mnt/user/domains/ to /mnt/cache/domains/ ?

I currently have only the emmc and a single nvme drive setup (as a cache pool), with the emmc set as the internal boot drive.

Thanks!

So, I'm new to this, and find myself with a beelink me mini (n150 with capacity for 6x nvme's).

But, with the current price of nvmes I'm not ready to commit to buying big drives just yet!

My ideal setup would be 1x 2tb parity, and 2 or more 2tb drives in raid 5, with an extra 256 or 512gb drive as cache.

For now though, I'd like to start with just the cache drive, which will allow me to setup a docker for home assistant, plex and torrenting, and I'll just connect an external ssd drive for media storage.

Is this possible? I imagine what will happen is I'll just set the 256gb drive as a primary drive for now with the dockers, then later add bigger drives and set them as parity and raid drives.

Will I then be able to switch the 256gb drive to cache without having to reflash it? No worries if it has to be flashed at this point though.

I guess I could also just setup the dockers on the beelinks 64gb EMMC too. I've just heard in the long run it's best not to rely on it.

While we're at it. Anyone got any spare nvme's? 😂
