  1. I just had this same issue and knew it had to be something simple. Thank you so much for the help!
  2. Hey guys just wanted to give a status update. I got my new drives in today and was able to swap the dead drive with the parity and my new 4 Tb as the parity. Just hope the rebuild goes well For some reason it just didn't want me to move Cache drive to parity...anyway thank you so much for all of your help!
  3. I had actually wanted to upgrade to the latest OS but figured I should wait to get the drive replaced. We'll see what happens when I get my new drives in.
  4. Trurl, That is correct. I started the array after the Cache drive was unassigned, then stopped again to try adding it as the Parity. Same results. I did it again to make sure I didn't make a mistake but made no difference.
  5. Hi Trurl, I did as you suggested but still displaying the same issue with it showing "Wrong".
  6. My steps are as follows: Currently the array is stopped. I unnassigned both the parity drive and the Cache drive. I assign the 3Tb cache drive as the Parity and the old Parity drive as Disk 5 (which is the drive that died on me). However, as soon as I assign the cache drive as the parity it shows up as "Wrong" under Parity and will not continue once I hit copy. I'm terrible with words, I hope this makes sense.
  7. I don't see anything that stands out other than: "unRaid kernel: md: disk0 wrong" That's what it shows in the screenshot as well. Doesn't seem to want me to use that drive as the Parity. I've got two new drives on the way, should be here tomorrow. Hopefully that will clear up the issue. I appreciate the help guys and I'll give a status update once I try the new drives out. If you have any other insight it would be appreciated, thanks again!
  8. Yep I tried that but it doesn't start the actual copying. I'm thinking it's because it's not a brand new drive and the cache still has some folders on it.
  9. When I said I've been out of the loop on the UnRaid scene, I meant I haven't kept up with anything including the actual OS updates. Which is why I'm still running an old OS. Crap out meaning the drive is dead. I found my answer in the wiki as you mentioned with swap-disable, thanks a lot for the help! Edit: Hrm, unfortunately it doesn't seem to want to work. I followed the instructions in the wiki but it doesn't like me swapping my cache drive to the Parity drive. Do I need to reformat/clear the Cache drive before I can swap it? attaching screenshot below http://postimg.org/image/vhbw1j7ot/full/
  10. I just had one of my data drives crap out on me and was hoping to get some advice on what to do next. My current setup is 6 2TB drives and a 3TB Cache drive. One of the 2TB data drives died and I'm looking into getting 2 4TB to replace most of what I have. With a dead drive in the array will I be able to swap the existing parity drive for a 4TB without losing data from the dead drive? I really don't want to buy another 2TB drive if I'm looking to replace them with higher capacity drives. Not if I can help it anyway. I've been out of the loop on the UnRaid scene for a while now and will need to brush up on my knowledge. In the meantime I would really appreciate whatever help/advice anybody can give. Thanks guys! edit: Sorry I guess it's worth mentioning that I'm currently running unRaid version 5.0 beta 14
  11. I'm currently looking to upgrade my server to hold more hard drives. Right now my current case can only support 6 (never thought I'd use more than that). I kind of jumped the gun, and ordered some 5 in 3 drive bays from here: http://www.moddiy.com/products/5%252din%252d3-Device-Module-Hard-Disk-Cage-SAS%7B47%7DSATA-Expander-Enclosure.html I have yet to choose a case but I'm looking for a a full tower with 12x 5.25 bays. The issue is I am not certain what type of cables I will need to eventually connect 20 hdd to the motherboard. My current motherboard is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131764 I'm guessing that I need some type of expansion card like this: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=AOC-SASMV8&title=Supermicro-AOC-SASLP-MV8-8-Port-SAS-SATA-Add-on-Card The different cable types are confusing with SAS, Reverse Breakout Cables etc... Can anybody offer some suggestions or advice as to what cables and what cards I will need? Thank you! Edit: Oops just noticed this is wrong forum for this. Sorry.
  12. I was finally able to get the IP Address and get to the server through the browser. Example xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 works but when I try to use Unraid:8080 it doesnt like it. Not sure how that got screwed up. Strange.
  13. My server has been working fine for a while until today. I had spun down all the drives to prepare to move it to a different house. After they spun down I was unable to access it via the browser. I am currently running UnRaid 5.0 beta 14. I moved it to a different house and still having the same issue. I know that I have it set to obtain IP address automatically but have no way to tell if it's actually pulling an address from the router. I don't have a way to get access to the server to post a syslog unless anybody knows another way? I hope my server didn't just completely die, can anybody provide some insight? Thank you. Update: Ok I hooked up a monitor and keyboard to the server and it looks to be booting up with no issues, just cant access it from the browser.
