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.
