Yes, that was/is Disk 5.
I just figured it would be simple to shrink the array and deal with the drive issues later. Maybe buy a new one who knows.. just a later time project.
I just didn't like a bunch of errors happening on that disk.
-
All i did was stop the array like you recommended.
Here are the new logs.

Is disk5 still installed? If not, go to Settings - Disk Settings and turn off autostart. Then shutdown, reinstall disk5, double check all connections, boot up again but don't assign disk5 and don't start the array. Post new diagnostics so we can check the health of disk5.
Disk 5 is still in the server. (I have not physically removed any drives).
The errors from disk 5 were UMDA errors. And from my understanding it's a hardware issue (Bad cable or something along those lines).
So the plan was to just remove the drive from the array, then when i got more time go in and take a physical look.
- I shut down the array like you said.
- Disk 5 is still in here.
- Auto Start is already set to "no"
** EDIT** The advice was a culmination of reading online from different places like the wiki. So i paraphrased as best as i could here to make sure i understood it correctly. Apparently, not...
-Thanks,

Where did you get those? Both options are wrong and totally confused.
Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete diagnostics zip file to your NEXT post.
I ended up starting the array... but paused it as soon as you posted...
Attached is the zip.

So, I know this has been covered 1000s of times all over the web. It's just that there are a few scenarios/options out there and want to make sure I understand them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** The Set up **
- 8 disks in the array.
- 1 parity, 7 data.
- As well as few empty bay slots.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Disk 5 started throwing errors.
** Option 1: Shrink Array - Less safe**
Rather than replacing disk 5, Just shrink the array to 6 Data disks and 1 Parity.
- Stop the array
- Select Disk 5 as "unassigned" under the "Main" tab
- Start the array
- Stop the array
- Tools > New Config > "Preserve current assignments: ALL" > Apply
- Main > Start array.
- **(One worrisome thing I see is that next to the parity drive; it says "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started").
- ** I'm assuming it means JUST the parity drive? Because to make the new array it has to redo the parity right? But no data on the array will be lost? Right?
- Completed after rebuild.
** Option 1: Pros and Cons **
- Pro: It's fast and easy.
- Con: It leaves your array venerable during the rebuild process. And since the rebuild process is more taxing than normal; another drive may fail.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Option 2: Failing Drive - Shrink - More safe **
- Use something like unBALANCE to move data off disk 5 to the other drives.
- Then follow steps in Option 1.
** Option 2: Pros and Cons **
- Pro: Doesn't leave it unprotected like Option 1.
- Con: Takes a bit longer to transfer the files off. Esp if the drive is failing and has really shitty speeds... (My situation).
Does this all sound about right? I'm currently about to start the array again. But seeing the "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started" Warning scares me. So just want to double check.
**EDIT** Or should I stick Disk 5 back in and do something else? I did start to use unBALANCE, but the speeds would drop too slow and i would have to cancel it. I also then got some "Duplicated file errors" from the "Fix Common Problems" plug in even though i was using "move" and not "Copy" in unBALANCE... But figured that would go away once disk 5 was out of the picture. No?

Any luck resolving this? I have the same problem.
No, not yet... it has only done it twice several days apart.. so waiting for it to happen again so i can pull the log and post it back up here.
-
The beauty is... I have no USB3 ports ha. And the USB stick is a USB2 stick (Same one I used for xenology for years). I have more sticks I could try, but unfortunately since i'm on the trail i can only test a new stick when i purchase it. PLUS if it still doesn't work I can only try one more for 12 months. (From my understanding).

What happens if you boot in SAFE mode?
I have not tried it yet. Been just focusing on moving all these files over. Currently running two Synchronizations on drives. One to confirm I can wipe/add the drive to the array and the other over the network. It takes many hours as i'm sure you know which I can't pause/restart..
When/if it happens again I will give that a shot. I will also get the logs before I log into safe mode.
One other issue you may be able to help me w/ is hanging on boot. I was going to post it in a new thread.. but maybe i should just try here..
- When i boot using the USB ports on the back of the MoBo 9/10 it will hang on the following.
USB 1-4: reset highs-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci
- When I use the USB ports on the front (So from the MoBo header) it hangs 1/10 times.
- The fix is to pull it out and reinsert it. (Not even rebooting). Then it starts right up...
-Thanks,

No, I boot to the default (Unraid OS) and then access it from computers on the network.
Maybe because I updated Nerdpack today?
-
I installed Nerd pack while following a tutorial to set something up. Granted... I don't remember which tutorial, or what i was trying to set up...
But, all I've needed to do is copy files from one drive to the Array using Krusader.
However, when I go in and look it says I'm only running 4 or so.
Where can i see what you're seeing?
Thanks again for taking the time!

No, router #1 has port 1 as a DMZ that router #2 is plugged into. Then everything behind that.
Thanks, diagnostic log is attached.

So i've been running the trail of Unraid for 10 days or so now and am really loving it! (Probably going to switch from Xpenology).
It's seems like a great community and look forward to being a part of it.
The issue at hand... the last few days Unraid has been taking down my network.
- Few days ago randomly (Wasn't doing anything but transferring files to Unraid. No different than the days prior).
- The internet speed (not LAN) went to shit... restarted routers reached out to ISP still nothing. I then tried to take all the devices off the network but 1 and things went back to normal.. come to find out it was Unraid. Restarted it and things went back to normal.
- Woke up this morning 2 days later and same thing... shit internet (1.2 mb/s). Unplugged the server and it went back to normal (80 mb.s). Plug it back in and it goes to shit. Only a restart of Unraid fixes it.
- So I started looking at some logs on the router.
- Had over 4000 active ip connections... (All to/from Unraid).
- I have attached a few screen shots.
- At first i thought it was an external attack. But because it ONLY goes away after unraid gets restarted (Not even the modem/router and getting a new IP from the ISP) it makes me think it's an Unraid issue...
- w/ Xpenology i had two ethernet lines bonded for improved speeds.
- I have not touched anything network related aside form giving it a static IP during the initial install/set up.
- I noticed Unraid seems to have already bonded the two lines?
- In terms of my network set up: From the ISP a router/modem that runs the main part of the house then one of the ports is set to a DMZ where i have another router (House out back) that runs everything out here. (unraid, desktops, ect). This way i can do what i need to do out here without effecting the main house. Granted... unraid even takes that part of the network down.
- I'm not sure how to proceed.. anyone have any suggestions?
- I'm assuming you may want the server logs. Do i just go to tools>System logs>Download? Granted this would be after the restart...
- Unraid ip address is the 192.168.2.70
-Thanks,
Failing Drive - Shrinking Array.
in General Support

Doing that now.
I agree, the data is still on disk 5. And the disk is 90% probably okay..
I am doing what you said now. This is what i figured i would have to do if i was unable to shrink it.
I will post the logs back up in the morning.
HOWEVER - hypothetically speaking... if a drive dies. (100% dead). And you don't have access to another drive but don't want to be unprotected. What would be the best way to shrink the array without that drive?
-Thanks,
