  1. itimpi's post in Disk failure was marked as the answer   
    What type of SMART errors?    Some errors (e.g. CRC errors) can mean the disk itself is fine but there is an issue with the cabling or power.
  2. itimpi's post in Unraid server becomes unresponsive was marked as the answer   
    Just a thought - are you up to date on the Connect (MyServers) plugin?    That looks like a message that would be generated by that plugin.
  3. itimpi's post in (SOLVED) Did I make my life extra difficult? was marked as the answer   
    If you are replacing a data drive then you can use the Parity Swap process to update a parity drive to 14TB and use the old 10TB parity drive to replace the data drive.
  4. itimpi's post in License restoration situation was marked as the answer   
    You normally get a response within hours from support so it definitely cannot help to try again.
  5. itimpi's post in Exclusive Mode Deactivating on Reboot w/NFS Sharing was marked as the answer   
    You would need to add Limetech.   I assume there is a good reason as otherwise I do not see why they would have specified that. limitation.
  6. itimpi's post in What was the Default Docker LOG maximum file size? was marked as the answer   
    Looked on my test system and that is set to 50MB so that is probably the default as I cannot think why I would have changed it there.
  7. itimpi's post in Unraid not working after upgrade to 6.12.8 was marked as the answer   
    That looks like you do not have a genuine licence.
  8. itimpi's post in Issue Swapping Parity Drive and Adding New Drive for Expansion was marked as the answer   
    You have to make these two steps and let one complete before attempting the other.  I would recommend upgrading the parity drive first.
     
  9. itimpi's post in Unraid Server rebooting randomly was marked as the answer   
    Do you really mean it reboots rathe than just freezing so that you have to manually reboot?
     
    if you really mean it is rebooting then it is almost certainly hardware with the most likely culprits being the PSU struggling or thermal issues such as CPU overheating.
  10. itimpi's post in Paritiy Check Tuning Incompatible? was marked as the answer   
    You must still have the standard parity check set to the schedule when you want the parity checks started, but you must set the Cumulative Parity Check setting to No if you are using the Parity Check Tuning plugin to handle pause/resuming of increments. 
     
    I'll reword that message to make it slightly clearer.
     
  11. itimpi's post in Unraid unable to stop array (randomly) was marked as the answer   
    I see this in the syslog
    Mar 13 03:40:01 PolaFlix kernel: XFS (md1p1): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_dinode_verify+0xa0/0x732 [xfs], inode 0x200000b7 dinode Mar 13 03:40:01 PolaFlix kernel: XFS (md1p1): Unmount and run xfs_repair You should run a check filesystem and repair on disk1 to fix this (via the GUI).
     
    Less important I see this:
    Mar 12 14:27:00 PolaFlix root: Fix Common Problems: Warning: Share La Biblioteca de Pola set to not use the cache, but files / folders exist on the cache drive which you probably also want to fix.
     
  12. itimpi's post in [6.12.8] Having problems hosting a game on a Unraid VM was marked as the answer   
    You should consider posting the xml for your vm so we can see how it is configured.
  13. itimpi's post in Disk Spin up Help was marked as the answer   
    The SMART checks happen BECAUSE a drive has just been spun up so this is a symptom, not a cause. You need to identify the cause by a process of elimination by disabling everything that could access the disks (docket, VMs, LAN clients) and then bringing them on one at a time.  
  14. itimpi's post in Help!! Files moved with Krusader wont move to array. was marked as the answer   
    Make sure that you do not have things set up so that you are falling foul of the behaviour mentioned in the Caution in this section of the online documentation accessible via the Manual link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI.
     
    If you think it is not that then 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.
  15. itimpi's post in Lost 2 USB drives in 6 months and I don't know why was marked as the answer   
    Have you tried plugging the flash drive into a PC/Mac to see if it can still read it?     If so then rewriting it sometimes helps
  16. itimpi's post in My HDDs dont spin down was marked as the answer   
    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. The Unraid OS->Manual section in particular covers most features of the current Unraid release.
  17. itimpi's post in Pre-Clear failing was marked as the answer   
    Do you have any spare Molex connectors on the PSU so you could instead use some Molex->SATA splitters?
  18. itimpi's post in Not having the full size of my disks in the pool devices was marked as the answer   
    Btrfs does not accurately report space when using an odd number of drives.  I believe that the Used is accurate, and that the Free space gets closer to being accurate as the pool starts filling up.
  19. itimpi's post in 6.12.8 Flash Drive Failure - Can't boot was marked as the answer   
    You might want to consider 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.
  20. itimpi's post in Tower bricking after a few days runtime. was marked as the answer   
    Your syslog contains:
    Mar 8 12:48:02 Home root: Fix Common Problems: Error: Invalid folder disk1 contained within /mnt but you do not seem to have a disk1.    This means that you have something (probably a docker container) configured to write to disk1 which will be in RAM so could gradually fill RAM up and result in the server crashing.
  21. itimpi's post in Parity Device Disabled After HBA issues was marked as the answer   
    The following will work:
    Stop array unassign parity drives start array to commit change and make Unraid 'forget' current parity assignments. stop array assign parity drives start array to commit changes and rebuild parity drives. Another (but slightly riskier) option would be:
    Stop array Use Tools->New Config with the option to keep all current assignments Return to Main tab and check Parity is Valid checkbox Start array - despite warning this parity will not be built as you ticked the checkbox. This is obviously much faster but if parity is NOT valid then you will not be able to rebuild a future failed drive until you have run a parity check with the option to write corrections to parity ticked.
  22. itimpi's post in Copy not possible although share not full was marked as the answer   
    OK - could not spot anything obvious.
     
    Only thing I note is that you are on not on the latest Unraid release and in some 6.12.x releases there was a bug around having too many include disks - not sure if this affects you.   Might try updating to the latest 6.12.8 release to see if it helps.    If you do this make sure you first take a backup of your current flash drive so that if 6.12.8 causes you any problems you can easily revert.
  23. itimpi's post in Array has 1 failed device. - what's next steps? was marked as the answer   
    At the moment the system should be emulating dis3 and able to show its contents?   If you can get a replacement disk and then rebuild the contents of disk3 onto it the contents you can see on the emulated disk3 should automatically be there.
     
    A point worth mentioning is that if possible you should keep the 'failing' disk3 intact until you have successfully rebuilt emulated disk3 onto its replacement.  This is to give you an additional recovery option if anything goes wrong with that because although the current disk3 needs replacing I would expect that most of its content is still available if needed.  I mention this simply because for warranty you may need to return the 'failing' disk3.
  24. itimpi's post in Kernel Panic not syncing VFS error after clean reboot was marked as the answer   
    That looks like an error reading the flash drive.   You could try out this to see if it helps.  While doing so see if you can copy the 'config' folder off the flash drive as that contains all of your settings and licence.
  25. itimpi's post in Parity-Check Keeps Restarting was marked as the answer   
    Yes - that means start a scheduled parity check every minute of every day!    Not sure how it got like that.
