  1. You can use the New Config tool to reset the array as described here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page.   I recommend that you start by using the options to keep all current assignments to reduce the chance of error and then return to the Main tab to remove the drive before starting the array.   Since you have removed a drive parity will need to be built sgain.

    when/how often are new releases usually slated?


    This has in the past been nothing like a fixed time.   I seem to remember it varying between about 3 months and 12 months.     Whether this will become more predictable (and if it does what the intervals are likely to be) I have no idea. 

     

    Limetech have improved over their initial suggested offering (as you noticed) in that you are still entitled to any patch releases that are produced for your current release even if the support period on your licence has expired.

    If the drives are connected through USB will I able to add them to the existing array where I already have 12 drives? Basically go from 12 to 20 drives in the same array with 8 hdd connected via usb in a jbod.

     

    From what I was able to find online, it seems that you are forced to create a separate pool with the jbod drives, is that true?

    As long as the JBOD exposes each drive individually to Unraid with their unique serial numbers then you can treat them just like any SATA connected drive and use them for any purpose supported by Unraid.
     

    As was said earlier the potential issues would be:

    • Problems if the drives have a tendency to disconnect and then reconnect as a different device ID (as many USB connected drives often do) as Unraid arrays are not hot-plug aware.
    • performance bottlenecks due to putting multiple drives through a single connection to the host.

    I have

    /data/media/

    /porn/

    /tv

    /movies

    /games

    and so on

     

    I want to share my /media/ dir, excluding /porn/, with my brother on the LAN, how do I do this because there doesn't seem to be a way to exclude locations in a share to certain users, they either have top-level access or nothing.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    The Unraid security model works at the top level of a share - it is not granular enough to apply to sub-folders within it.

    Should I just manually copy paste the bz* files? Can this be done with server running?

     

    This cannot (in the latest releases) be simply done with the server running.  Best to do it on another machine.

    Does this mean that the data on disk 1, which for some reason is not emulated

     

    Have you tried following the procedure documented here in the online documentation accessible via the Manual link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI.  In addition every forum page has a DOCS link at the top and a Documentation link at the bottom.

    So there's no other solution unless I upgrade the motherboard in the future?

    You can try USB and some people seem to use it successfully.    However other experience problems and it is difficult to predict which camp any particular user will fall into.

     

    If you must use USB then you might be better off running without parity and ensuring that you have a good backup strategy in place to handle any drive failures.

  8. In theory reallocated sectors are not a problem as long as the number remains stable, but they are never a good sign, and if they continue to increase the drive will need replacing.   Definitely want to keep an eye on it.    Might want to consider running the extended SMART test on the drive as that is a good way to test it’s health.

     

    if you click on the orange icon for the drive on the Dashboard and select the Acknowledge option Unraid will only notify you again if it increases.
