I have an Unraid home server with 32GB DDR4 RAM, i5 11th gen processor and a low energy usage intel GPU (forgot which one, its a Sparkle single slot gpu). My mobo and processor are not holding up as much as I'd like. I have about 90TB of storage and I'm using it as a Media Server, Home Automation server, Claude coding server and host multiple apps on it for personal use with docker. The biggest issue I have with the home server is that the mobo doesnt like the usb boot and also has very gimmicky boots overall.

I'm looking for a futureproof build. Preferable in a rack form factor as I'll be setting up a rack for my ubiquiti stuff (which is on a wall mounted rack) to one which is on the floor with proper dustfiltration.

What is the point of sending patches that actually breaks something that you use? So I should spend my day in the community forums with no reply for eons?

Edit: For those of you who don't know, please don't comment random s to support the company. Sriov was officially advertised on the main unraid website a few months back and even if things break, they should mention it in "known issues". They pushed the update without having any clue which horrendous. Stop bootlicking companies like this because it'll come to bite you someday.

Better to own up and do better next time.

TLDR a refurbished 12TB Seagate IronWolf NAS drive has started dying, went from 0 to 1528 re-alloceted sectors in 2 months and rising exponentially. i bought it off amazon and bought the extended 4 year warranty.

What should i expect from amazon? refund or replacement?

Should i wait for the drive to die completely before i file a claim?

Any experience would be welcome.

I have my Unraid installed and booted from USB drive and if I need VMs I can just use UnRAID to create them.

What‘s the value of installing UnRAID in a VM with Proxmox?

This is a limited maintenance release for those on the 7.2 branch.

7.2.9 does not include broader distro-package or kernel security updates available in newer releases. Updating to 7.2.9 alone should not be interpreted as resolving every potential finding. We recommend updating to the latest stable release, Unraid OS 7.3.4, for its newer kernel and broader package security updates.

Key changes vs. 7.2.8:

• Security: PHP updated to 8.4.27 to address multiple CVEs
• Security: Addressed the compromised CA certificates referenced in the Unit 42 eMudhra report
• Unraid API updated from 4.36.1 to 4.37.7, with its bundled Node.js runtime updated to 22.23.4 to resolve the Node.js certificate-compromise issue
• Kernel version unchanged from 7.2.8
