  1. itimpi's post in Upgrade licence was marked as the answer   
    No - you DO get all Unraid features (including VMs and Docker) and keep your lifetime update status.   All releases of Unraid are functionally equal, and the web site should make this clearer.
  2. itimpi's post in Unraid stuck on mounting drives was marked as the answer   
    Looking through the diagnostics it seems the parity1 drive has gone offline and as a result there is no SMART information for it.   You might want to check the power/cabling to the drive.
  3. itimpi's post in No parity, but write certain folders to all drives for redundancy was marked as the answer   
    The User Scripts plugin can be used to initiate the scripts on a selected schedule for devices permanently available.   Alternatively the Unassigned Devices plugin allows you trigger a script when a particular drive is plugged in.
     
    The content of the script will depend on exactly you want to copy and to where.
  4. itimpi's post in Why does Parity-Check keep initiating spontaneously? was marked as the answer   
    Those look fine from a scheduling perspective.   
     
    We do normal, however, recommend that the automatic scheduled checks are set to be non-correcting so that if you have a drive playing up it does not end up corrupting parity before you realise there might be an issue.   Then it is only the manual checks that are set as correcting after you have fixed any hardware related issues that might have caused parity to be partly invalid in the first place.
     
      
     
    You can get to the flash drive by clicking on the Boot device on the Main tab.     If you want it to be visible over the network (by default it is not) then you need to set the SMB settings to allow this (in which case if shows up as the 'flash' share.
     
  5. itimpi's post in Disk rebuild frozen when replacing a disk to increase capacity. was marked as the answer   
    The end of both logs finishes with errors along the lines of:
    Apr 22 08:33:48 Tower kernel: ata14.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 Apr 22 08:33:48 Tower kernel: ata14.00: irq_stat 0x40000001 Apr 22 08:33:48 Tower kernel: ata14.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:01/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 7 dma 16640 in Apr 22 08:33:48 Tower kernel: opcode=0x12 12 01 80 00 ff 00res 00/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x3 (HSM violation) Apr 22 08:33:48 Tower kernel: ata14: hard resetting link Normally we would think these were power/sata cabling related but the fact it has occurred at the same point twice suggest it may really be a drive problem if ata14 is the new drive.
  6. itimpi's post in I need help to identify the parity disk after replacing a dead usb flash drive was marked as the answer   
    You can use the procedure documented 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. The Unraid OS->Manual section in particular covers most features of the current Unraid release.
  7. itimpi's post in Possible file system corruption, need help understanding test results was marked as the answer   
    That is a clean looking check with no errors reported so I would expect all data to reappear after running the repair.
  8. itimpi's post in Unsupported or no filesystem was marked as the answer   
    This would have also formatted the emulated drive thus wiping its data.    You would have needed to run the procedure for fixing disk1 to make it mountable before attempting any format.
  9. itimpi's post in XFS (md3p1): Metadata CRC error detected at was marked as the answer   
    You need to run without -n and adding -L
  10. itimpi's post in Question regarding split level was marked as the answer   
    No, it is always based on the number of folders in the files path.
  11. itimpi's post in Share / File Permission Issue since 6.12.10 was marked as the answer   
    You have the Minimum Free Space setting for the 'domains' share at 195GB and none of your drives have that much free space.
  12. itimpi's post in Unmountable: Unsupported or no file system was marked as the answer   
    Rebuilding a drive will not clear an unmountable status.    The procedure for this is covered 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. 
  13. itimpi's post in Expired trail, can't purchase a licence was marked as the answer   
    You can do a manual upgrade to the current 6.12.10 release by 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.   The Unraid OS->Manual section covers most aspects of the current Unraid release.
     
    Having done that the purchase option should now work.    If you still encounter problems you will need to contact support as they handle all licencing issues.
  14. itimpi's post in Problems with pre-clear was marked as the answer   
    I would certainly recommend removing stopping the array as with disk4 playing up it will take forever 😞
     
    It is your choice as to whether you want to try and resolve why disk4 is having issues or initially just get disk3 up and running?  It is possible that disk4 just has a cabling issue (power or SATA) and the drive is physically OK.
  15. itimpi's post in Unable to access Share's After changing the nic card. was marked as the answer   
    You should post your system's diagnostics zip file in your next post in this thread to get more informed feedback.  It is always a good idea to post this if your question might involve us seeing how you have things set up or to look at recent logs.
  16. itimpi's post in webGUI unaccesable after update 6.11.5 -> 6.12.8 was marked as the answer   
    I would say that it is definitely your flash drive as the messages mention [sda] which is standard for the flash drive.
     
    I do not think it will help in this case, but the key point of Safe Mode is that it stops plugins from being loaded (plugins can change system components) and that applies regardless of whether you are in GUI mode or not. 
  17. itimpi's post in Flash drive crashed backups unavilable do not know drive assignments was marked as the answer   
    Do you know which drives(s) are parity drives?   You will only lose data if you accidentally assign a data drive as a parity drive.   If you are not sure then follow 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. 
     
    Having said that you say the backups are on an unassigned drive?    Even with nothing assigned to the array I think you can still download the Unassigned Devices plugin and then mount such a drive to get at your backups.
     
  18. itimpi's post in Which is quickest, recheck parity or preclear ? was marked as the answer   
    No.   The disks will be Cleared so that parity is unaffected.
  19. itimpi's post in Unraid keeps switching interface to 100 mbps was marked as the answer   
    A gigabit LAN silently downgrading to 100Mbps normally means that there is at least one twisted pair not making connection in the cable between the router and the server.   This can be either a broken wire within the cable or a pin not making contact at either end.  I would suggest trying different cables and/or ports.
  20. itimpi's post in How to make Virt-Manager default for VMs was marked as the answer   
    You can always use the Custom TAB to add anything as long as you have a URL for it.   I personally use it to add a DOCS tab there.
  21. itimpi's post in Flash died, waiting for new Pro key, can I start with trial and switch? was marked as the answer   
    Did you copy across the contents of the 'config' folder from the old flash?    That should have gotten the plugins and docker templates back just as they were.
  22. itimpi's post in Disabled Device Options was marked as the answer   
    It is definitely possible to move the data.   
     
    However are you sure the drive has failed?   More often then not a drive is disabled (because a write failed) due to an external factor such as cabling or power.  You should post your system's diagnostics zip file in your next post in this thread to get more informed feedback.   You can also try running an extended SMART test on the drive as if it passes that the drive is probably OK.
  23. itimpi's post in Making disks unassigned again was marked as the answer   
    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.
  24. itimpi's post in syslog server local - FIXED was marked as the answer   
    You need to set either the “mirror to flash” option or set the “remote syslog server” to be your Unraid server to get anything recorded as mentioned in the syslog server link.   The settings you have just set it up in ‘listen’ mode
  25. itimpi's post in Reallocated sector count notification was marked as the answer   
    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.
