Yes, two disks are disabled the Parity 2 and Disk 1. I'm running SMART tests on them now. But if all looks "fine" what's the next step in bringing them back online from "disabled"? Stop array> Take the drives out of the "config" by setting them to "NO Device" > Start Array > Stop Array > Put drives back into "config" > Start Array > Rebuild Array Am I thinking that correctly?

What are some next steps you think? I kinda just want to "reset" it and see if it happens again. I plan on building a new server in the next year or so. So I don't want to put too much time/resources into this one. Just need it to last me until then.

I woke up this morning to what looks like a bunch of errors.. I tried to stop the array but it seems to be hanging. I Then tried to shut it down to restart it but also seems to be hanging. So i grabbed the diagnostic files an am going to post them here. I've delt with a few situation similar to this a few times now, but always tried to just tackle it myself and always caused more work in the end. So just going to post up the logs and get some guidance. (I did Tools>Diagnostics>zip file). Let me know if you need something else. fs03-diagnostics-20240326-1033.zip

Yes, it worked and was doing fin until about 75% of the rebuild where both drives became unmountable again. So I then did it all over again and it worked... so running a parity check on it now.

Welp... I take that all back... I was running the rebuild and both drives became "unmountable: Wrong or no file system". again... Not sure what to try next... I thought i fixed it.

Thanks for getting back. I followed the instructions and got the "Mount disk, then unmount it. If it doesn't work then use "-L" tag note." However your link didn't mention how to mount the drive. So I'm putting it in here for the next guy. I followed space invaders 4 year old video. In terminal mkdir /tempxfs (Creates a temp folder to mount to) mount /dev/mdX (x being your drive letter). umount /tempxfs rmdir /tempxfs (Delete the temp folder we just created) run the XFS repair again. Start the array to see if it worked. You may still have "Drive disabled" with a little red X. To fix this: - Stop array (take note of drive configuration) - Select "no device" for effected drive(s). - Start array (Should now say "not installed") - Stop array and add the EXACT disk back in. - Start array which will then initiate a rebuild.

Hello, The server has been off for a few months. I fired it up with no issues until a few hours later where where drive 1 became "unmountable: Wrong or no file system" I then tried to run parity sync thinking that may have helped then Disk 4 became "unmountable: Wrong or no file system". My question is... I have spare drives, can I just swap them? When I say "swap" I mean: shut down array, change disk 1 and 4 to another "Unassigned device", start the array formatting the new drives and rebuilding? - Thanks,

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but will this effect any Timemachine stuff?

It ended up being a corrupt thumb drive for me.

I was noticing a bunch of activities on an "Unassigned drive". After scratching my head for hours i realized the exact drive (Same model number/serial, different mont point) was listed as also in the array..... So when i wrote to disk 2 on the array it would also cause activity to dev 1 in "Unassigned Devices". I've recently did a clean install from 6.9 to 6.10.rc2. I've had a few phantom issues i've been working with and this is either the cause or another one... *** EDIT 1 *** So I guess ALL my disks are also listed in Unassigned Devices... The parity drives or cache are not. I also restarted, and the drive numbers/serials are no longer the same... I've attached a screen shot. *** EDIT 2 *** I've been having issues w/ my cache drive. So i removed everything from them, Stoped the array, removed the cache drives, started the array, did a pre-clear and formattted the 3 SSDs. Then removed "past device history" then stoped the array, added the drives back, did format after starting the array, and it shows the drives as size 240gb, used 3.56mb, free 120gb. WTF..... Maybe related to the above issue... -Thanks,

So I pop in a drive, and want to clone it to a .img file i would use: sudo dd if=/dev/sdi of=/mnt/user/Archives/HardDrive_01.img bs=16M And it would create an image of the hard drive "sdi" and place the .img file called "HardDrive_01.img" in the share called Archives?

Hey all, I hope this is the right area, if not maybe you can point my in the right direction. But, i'm moving onto a sailboat to live full time and am looking for some suggestions on new builds. Below, I have listed out the needs. So i'm looking for suggestions in terms of: - Execution ideas - Part Ideas - Software/configuration Ideas] - ANYTHING i may be overlooking.... ***** Current set up ****** - 48TB across 27 or so drives in rack mounted chaise. - Of the 27 drives - 8 are used, the rest are spun down "unassigned" - Of the 8 Drives - 2 Parity, 3 SSD cache (mixed sizes/speeds), 5x3TB spinning drives. - Using about 10.5 TB total **** New server use/needs ***** - I do video production and photograph, the server needs to be 10GB/s network. - Fast few TB of SSDs or NVMe for "working" space or "online" as we call it in my industry, and the rest slower "Offline" for just storage. - Super super small. - Super super low power draw. **** Few Ideas I have so far ******* - Option 1 - Build two servers, one for "online" working with NVMe drives and a second slower (Maybe spinning drives). Then transfer between the two. This will help save power to not have the spinning drive up and running when not needed. But i don't like the idea of manual copying stuff or like the spinning drives because of the salt air. - Option 2 - Build one server for "online" working, and then a bunch of USB/external drives that plug into it and I turn them on as needed. That way the spinning USB drives are not sitting in the salty environment, and i can store them when not in use. But i don't want to have to mange and track the drive's contents... Unless there is a conviant way to track that. - Option 3 - Build one server with fast NVMe drives for online working, then cheaper slower SSDs for "offline" working. This may have to be the option... it's just $$ and doesn't really reuse anything I already have. Also to save power id like to have the "offline" media disconnected/powered down. But... again, i think option 3 is the best way to go so far. What do you guys thinkg? Ideally, I can buy new stuff AS WELL AS using what I already have to keep price down.... but if option 3, then not really... The other thing to keep i mind although it's not really hardware related... but id like to take my current server and use that as an off site "disaster recovery" running a backup when the boat is at WiFI. Again, just looking to start a discussion and get some ideas flowing. Thanks all!

So, i'm moving soon and have a few old hard drives I would like to make a sector by sector clone of; so i don't need to take the drives with me. Reason being, long long ago, I may have had a BTC wallet on one that may have been deleted during a windows install that failed (Hence the sector by sector clone). Id like the clone the drives then when i get around to it, set up an ubuntu VM to scan the cloned drive's images using a BTC scan tool. (If you're interested https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25091.0 ) What would you recommend for cloning a drive like that? Maybe clone is the wrong word since i'm not putting it to another dive, but looking to have an image file of some sort i can scan later. -Thanks,

Hello, I am doing a clean install of UNRAID from 6.8.3to 6.10-rc2. A few of my devices are listed differently. from 6.8.3. For example, Id like to swap eth1 to eth0 However, the "Network rules" or "interface rules" section is gone... Any reason that might be? Also, anyway to swap device ID w/ it's identification for unassigned Devices? It's an OCD thing as will as help make setting up my VMs and dockers easiere as i took a bunch of screen shots of settigs and the way i configured things.

Hey, I just upgraded and made a post about this over here. Just to keep things simple i'm going to roll back. (I don't need any of the new features or NVidia driver support). But is there a timeline of when this will be fixed? -Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. Can i just roll back using the Tools>Upgrade OS area? What cache settings should i screen shot before rolling back if i'm going to need to manually set them back up. Any update on when it will be fixed?

I just upgraded a moment ago, and now UnRAID is no longer seeing any spinning disks... it sees my SSD caches but nothing else. I'm on Version 6.9.2 I see there is a Restore/Roll-back option under the tools section. I didn't want to do that until i checked here first. I've attached my diagnostic file fs02-diagnostics-20210614-1442.zip

It would be fantastic to just click a button that starts to eject the drive. (Copy files from it to the rest of the array, then removes it and marks it as an "Unassigned Device". You could even take it a step father and "swap" disks. For example you select a disk in the array, select "swap" or something and it copies the data to the new drive and removes the old drive from the array. Right now, having to have to juggle resizing the array is a bit of a pain.

Right, i currently have a SAN connection between unraid and my desktop for video editing (Since it needs block level). Id like to fiber connect unraid (I will have to go direct if i have to since I fiber switches are $$) to a few other machines (Not on the block level) so it's shared. Such as the movies and TV folder. Of the fiber cards only the Myricom card is recognized in Unraid. The rest of the fiber cards are not.

So, I was gifted a 24D Facilis Terrablock server. https://www.facilis.com/technical-specifications/ It's built for video production where it can support up to 6 direction fiber connection to each machine. And allowed quick switching between iSCSI devices (Since some editing software only works on those drives). Anyways... I have been migrating from my DIY homebuilt server into this and things have been going better than expected. The server came with: 3x - Atto FC-82EN Fiber Channel cards. 1x - Myricom-10G Dual-Protocol NIC As well as the two standard ethernet ports on the MOBO. 8x - Fiberstore SFP-10GSR-85 https://www.fs.com/products/11589.html 1x - FTLX8571D3BCL https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Finisar/FTLX8571D3BCL/?qs=%2Fha2pyFadug%2BiGEoi8PKz2LEV0UORDjqf%2Fdvn6n06hmH23rQptDHxQ%3D%3D Since I only have a standard gigabit switches (one manage and the other not). Id like to utilize the fiber cards for speed. What would you recommend for setting that up? I don't mind them being direct connection (Pretty small space) but can't seem to find any good info on setting it up.... I've already pulled the cards and put one of them in my desktop. I do have an iSCSI drive over the network (Again for video production stuff) set up by following a SpaceInvader One tutorial that i use on Unraid. I'm sure i will have to reset that up on whatever route i go... Long story short, any way to directly connect to an unraid server via Fiber cards? -Thanks,

So... the rebuild finished w/ out any errors... Nor did the drive put out any errors. So the eSATA cable was it. It was just my own laziness to not swap it and just shrink it and deal w/ the drive for testing later... So one issue i've caused in doing all of this, is that now i've got duplicated files... I was using unBALANCE to move stuff from drive 5 (The one giving errors) to drive 7. I did the dry run and fixed some permissions, I figured i was good to go. So i started to do the move, but the drive's speed went to shit and started giving out errors, So i canceled it and tried it again. (Happened a few more times). Then we fixed my fuck up.. (Trying to shrink the array). However, now i've got some duplicated files (According to "Fix common problems"). The errors says I haven't done much research yet, but figured i would post here in conjunction with googling around. Any ideas/recommendation on correcting that? -Thanks,

I did stumble across that wiki. And 3 hours left on the rebuild.... no errors..

I did not see that page of the wiki.. thank you for sending it. It does clear up a lot.. I powered down the server, swapped the cable, it hung on that USB error i mentioned in the other thread a few weeks ago. (if you have a solution for that yet). Started the array, and it is rebuilding a 102 MB/S now. I will keep an eye out and see if the drive starts to error out again... -Thanks,

I just swapped the SATA cable.. it's coming back up online now.
