It ended up being my go file from when i was messing around with tailscale for automated backups and plex failover.

I booted into Safe mode: no plugins I was watching the bootup sequence, but it went over to this before i could see if emhttp started I can get into the webui just fine in safe mode. Server seems responsive, array is stopped. I previously had a cold spare drive installed and sitting in Unassigned Devices. On the hardware/case swap i didn't install the cold spare. Just thought id mention it. edit: i threw the cold spare in and nothing changed.

On 7.2.2 I just swapped cases and motherboard/cpu and on my bootup it never makes it to Tower Login, it just sticks on emhttp: Starting emhttpd... all hardware was moved over, but i had a cold spare that was sitting on unassigned devices that i didn't install, just fyi. But, i can still get into the webui just normal and everything appears to have booted just fine. Attached are diagnostics. Any ideas? Unraid diagnostic 121625.zip

I checked the bios and within the unraid ui and its correct. I'll fire it back up and check again. Edit: Confirmed to be correct on the unraid ui Also, now when i try to start my 30 day trial, and it opens the web site and click start Trial, it says "Trial Start Failed"

i tried shutting down and did a quick format of the flash drive and recreated the boot drive. Same thing.

I'm trying to verify if a new system is going to work for my needs before i move my main server over. I finally found a flash drive that hasn't had unraid installed on it and when i go to start trial i get this I went into bios and made sure that my clock was correct and did the same within unraid. I did get the email from unraid with the trial key info. I probably have another key linked to this email if it matters. Attached are diagnostics bigbitch-diagnostics-20251210-1526.zip

Happy to say that everything went just fine with the swap. Was transfering at 1.5gb/s from ssd to ssd. Trasnfer took around 90min and verification took about the same. Removed the Raid0 pool and assigned the intel u.2 drive as the cache and everything was back perfectly.

And when i select the new intel u.2 as the cache drive (after the transfer and removing the 2 Raid0 drives from the pool) it'll just pickup and run normally? Here's the command i'm going to use. Look reasonable? rsync -avh --info=progress2 --inplace --no-whole-file /mnt/cache/ /mnt/disks/PHAC431600G5XXXXXX/

I've got dual 990pro's in Raid0 and i want to upgrade to a Intel U.2 drive. When i upgraded to the 990's, i did the standard: Mover from Cache to Array and then Array to Cache. It took a long time....i've got 7tb on the cache pool now, so i'm guessing it would take 12-16hrs to move? So i'm wondering, since i've got the 990's and the Intel U.2 installed in the server. Can i just move from SSD -> SSD directly? I'm guessing it would be a helluva lot faster! I was thinking about: Stopping everything, doing an rsync to copy from the cache to the new drive, then assigning the Intel U.2 as the cache drive. Not sure if i'd need to a new config or something. Thoughts?

So far no, i did have one file that was opened a ton of times, but i think radarr was trying to import it. I just went ahead and deleted it to see if that was the issue. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if disks are still spinning up. Thanks for this. I'll go ahead and set a secondary storage for those shares to the array and set the mover to move Array ->Cache.

Thanks! So i went ahead and set the appdata share to cache only and ran the mover (after shutting down the docker engine). It still left a binhex-radar and binhex-sonarr with nothing in it, so i went ahead and deleted them. Domains and Transcode shares dont get used, so that shouldn't cause the spin up issue, but i went ahead and fixed them anyways. I removed nerdtools but left the mover.tuning. I believe the other mover tuning doesn't have a "smart cache" feature where it will keep media on the cache as long as it can and move oldest media onto the array when needed.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my disks keep spinning up. I have spindown set to 15min. I run a large cache so that disks wont get spun up unless media older than 2 months gets requested. Using the File Activity plugin, under Disk Activity It looks like something is opening a file 3 times Apr 10 08:46:31 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 1}/{Movie 1}.mkv Apr 10 08:46:31 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 1}/{Movie 1}.mkv Apr 10 08:46:34 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 1}/{Movie 1}.mkv Apr 10 08:46:43 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 2}/{Movie 2}.mkv Apr 10 08:46:43 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 2}/{Movie 2}.mkv Apr 10 08:47:03 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 2}/{Movie 2}.mkv Apr 10 08:48:41 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 3}/{Movie 3}.mkv Apr 10 08:48:42 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 3}/{Movie 3}.mkv Apr 10 08:48:44 OPEN => /mnt/disk4/data/media/movies4k/{Movie 3}/{Movie 3}.mkv Under Share activity, same thing, file being opened 3 times. I'm running the full media stack (plex, sab, sonarr, radarr, overseerr, bazarr....) Diagnostics attached. tower-diagnostics-20250410-0939.zip

Glad you got it figured out. It's working well for me to keep current media on the cache.

So i just made the jump to Unraid 7, i'm having a hard time finding the Auto-Age Threshold moving in Mover Tuning plugin. Maybe i'm looking past it. I see there's a Mover Tuning from Squid and Reynald's. Not sure which one or both have it. Edit: So on Reynalds, i'm trying this settings which seem to work

Thats wild...i have no idea why it would have done an unclean restart..... I only turn this server on to do a backup then shutdown....i'll have to enable the syslog server and try to see whats up.
