This is not possible. No parity drive can be smaller than the largest data drive. it is normally recommended to NOT have SSDs in the main array as when configured there they cannot be trimmed which means their performance may degrade over time. Depending on what you want to use the SSDs for you may be better having them in a (possibly redundant) pool external to the main array. This is not atypical if they are going to be used with VMs or Docker containers. it is probably worth getting to the bottom of why you cannot connect to your server locally. Have you tried via it’s IP address? Have you tried using http rather than https?

Are you planning to replace the existing drive or are you intending to keep it and add more drives? If the latter then simply add them to the array and Unraid will treat them as additional space.

This works fine.

Do you have an ad-blocker installed in the browser? If so then try whitelisting the Unraid server.

Thinking a bit more about it - when assigning it to a VM I think you are limited to defining local files - not remote ones as you define a connection method (e.g. virtio, sata, etc) that is not network aware. If you want to use a network location it would have to be assigned within the VM after starting it.. Be interested if anyone HAS managed to assign a network location as a drive to a VM at the Unraid VM definition level.

I think so to, but I also think it is a bug I see no reason why the Minimum Free Space value for a User Share should be used to decide if a file should go to a pool (cache) - in that case the Minimum Free Space value for the pool should be used. The Minimum Free Space for a share should only be used when selecting an array drive for a file.

I would start with this initially as the recommended value for your CPU as any instability is bad in a server. If that proves stable you can always later try a slight overlock to see if the system remains stable.

Apparently nobody reads the documentation All the necessary steps are covered in this section of the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI.

The data on any array drives (that are not damaged) should be intact. Do you have a recent backup of the flash drive? If not then you can follow these steps to sort out your drive assignments. If in doubt ask for further help.

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread so we can see what is going on.

Not sure quite what is going on, but there appear to be some strange results in the diagnostics. I would suggest rebooting, making sure the array is started and then post new diagnostics. Before you do there is some tidying up that might help with interpreting the diagnostics. Remove the nerdpack plugin as I believe it is incompatible with 6.11,x Unraid releases. Make sure that all the files on the flash drive under/config/shares correspond to shares you actually have and are not legacy from previous activities. You can delete any superfluous ones. I would avoid using the drive include/exclude options on any share if you want to include all drives (the default) as this avoids the chance of forgetting later to change them when adding a new drive. Also only use EITHER the Include OR Exclude entries - not both. I noticed a share with include drives set but Use Cache set to Only for the Use cache setting - in such a case the Include drives makes no sense and is redundant.

You would need to set the share name explicitly having changed the drive.

Not explicitly. You can perhaps do it indirectly by limiting the drives the share is allowed to occupy.

Have you stopped the array? It needs to be stopped to change the network settings.

Did you update the VPN settings on the remote devices (the peers) after you changed the settings at the Unraid end?

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread.

I assume you used Unassigned Devices plugin to mount that remote share? Can server 2 list the files on the remote shard at all?

How files are distributed depends on how your shares are set up. You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread so we can see details of your system. it is normal for a drive to not display temperature if it is spun down.

If that is the case then it should be possible to assign the USB device to the VM simply by editing the VM settings.

Is the USB drive the same model as that used by the host? It is much more convenient if it is not.

When you set up a WireGuard tunnel you define what can be accessed via that tunnel. If in your case that means everything on the LAN it will be because that is what you configured to happen.

For some reason the phrase Parity Swap is not acting as a hyperlink to the relevant part of the documentation, so here is the link.

Although this might be theoretically possible my guess would be that it is deemed a bit difficult to implement reliably. It could also provide an additional check that both parity drive agree on what should be on the rebuilt drive, although whether this is actually used I have no idea.

You should also consider setting up the syslog server so you can get logs that persist across a reboot.

No, the process given works regardless of whether you have parity. As far as parity is concerned formatting a disk is just another write operation. The only time you need to zero the disk is if you are intending to add or remove it from a parity protected array without invalidating parity.
