  1. itimpi's post in Unable to replace failed drive with bigger drive was marked as the answer   
    Probably better to refer to this section of 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.    It is better to use the documentation for the current release rather than legacy documentation that may no longer be valid.
  2. itimpi's post in 6.12.4 Two drives showing as disabled, replaced drives still disabled was marked as the answer   
    Replacing a disabled disk is not sufficient to remove the disabled state.   To do this you need to rebuild them as if described 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.
     
    Note that a drive being disabled does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the drive.   More often than not it is a problem with the power or SATA cabling to the drive.
  3. itimpi's post in New config screen always pops up after a reboot. was marked as the answer   
    That looks like the standard screen if the array is not started.   Have you enabled Autostart under Settings->Disk Settings?   If you have you should post your system's diagnostics zip file so we can see what is happening.
  4. itimpi's post in Unmountable: Wrong or no file System on several drives was marked as the answer   
    You need to run with -L (and without -n).
  5. itimpi's post in Dockers was marked as the answer   
    You would need the template entry for that app which is stored on the flash drive under config/plugins/dockerman/templates-user to be on the flash drive on the other system for it to show up under Apps->Previous Apps.
  6. itimpi's post in Why are there files on cache? was marked as the answer   
    If you used move from the command line then you probably encountered the behaviour described in the Caution in this section of the online manual.   
  7. itimpi's post in UNRAID works only with the GPU present was marked as the answer   
    Unraid does not need a GPU, but your motherboard might.   Have you checked the motherboard manual?    It could also be a BIOS setting.
  8. itimpi's post in procedure to replace parity drive was marked as the answer   
    This topic 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.
  9. itimpi's post in Where is my checkbox to select files/folders? was marked as the answer   
    My guess is you have the Dynamix File Manager plugin installed on one server and not the other?
     
  10. itimpi's post in Shares showing they are protected even though they are only on a single cache SSD? was marked as the answer   
    Yes - the shares unexpectedly showing as protected have all their files on disk1 and appdata also has some files there.
     
    Note that simply changing the primary storage to a pool and removing the secondary storage does NOT automatically transfer files onto the pool.  To get the files into the right location you will need to:
    stop docker and vm services under settings as these will stop any files they have open from being moved. for the shares you want to only be on a pool set the pool as primary storage and the array as secondary storage. set the mover direction to be array->pool manually run mover from the Main tab to get files moved onto the pool. when mover finishes you can remove the secondary storage=array as it is no longer needed re-enable docker and/or vm services (optional) enable the option to use Exclusive mode shares under Settings->Global share settings.   This gives better performance for shares with all files on a pool by by-passing Unraid’s fuse layer for such shares.
  11. itimpi's post in Unmountable : Unsupported or no file system was marked as the answer   
    You need to rerun that check without -n and add -L
  12. itimpi's post in Start/stop syslog server from command line was marked as the answer   
    You should be able to copy the syslog files without shutting down the syslog server.
  13. itimpi's post in Unraid Crashes at same time once a week. was marked as the answer   
    That shows something is actively configured to issue the shutdown command, so it is not a crash.
     
    Have you checked that you have nothing configured to run at that time?  Feels like it could be a User Script.   One small clue is that is using the ‘powerdown’ command to do this rather than the ‘shutdown’ command.   Have you tried looking at something like /etc/cron.d/root to see if it contains an entry for that specific time?
  14. itimpi's post in [Unraid 6.9.2] Slow parity check and stability issues + poorly timed drive replacement was marked as the answer   
    There is no way to tell what the parity check is doing in terms of any files that might be affected (parity does not understand the concept of files).  It just knows how far through the check it has got and it tells you that in the GUI.
     
    Chances are that since disk2 is a new large drive all new files are going to it thus explaining the write behaviour.
     
    Probably the best thing to do at this point is to run a check filesystem on all array drives to check there is no corruption at that level, and assuming it all looks good run a parity check with the option to correct errors set.
     
  15. itimpi's post in Which instance is creating /mnt/user shares? was marked as the answer   
    Have you tried unsettling the option in the pool settings to allow it to be used for User Shares?   Nor sure if that would work or not?
  16. itimpi's post in Just bought a license, it didn't work, can no longer purchase for GUID was marked as the answer   
    Have you rebooted since trying to install the purchased licence key?
  17. itimpi's post in High read/write on one drive only, new unraid build was marked as the answer   
    Looking at you share settings what you are seeing is expected behaviour.
     
    With you largest data drive being 10TB and using high-water allocation method then the points for switch drives occur at the 5GB, 2.5GB, 1.25GB etc points.   You are currently in the 2.5GB zone, and since disk1 is down to 1.25GB free Unraid has switched to disk2.
  18. itimpi's post in Can you have multiple RAID cache pools? was marked as the answer   
    Each pool can be configured independently both in terms if the number of drives in it, the type of file system and any raid levels.
  19. itimpi's post in [SOLVED] FREE SPACE NOT CHANGING DURING DISK TO DISK MOVE was marked as the answer   
    If you have hard links then the space will not be released until all such links are deleted so there are none remaining for any given file.
  20. itimpi's post in cannot login to gui after update was marked as the answer   
    For security reasons a password is now mandatory even when logging in locally.    You could always set your browser to remember it.
  21. itimpi's post in Mover doesn't seem to work was marked as the answer   
    Try removing the Mover Tuning plugin.    Been quite a few reports recently of it causing this sort of issue.
  22. itimpi's post in Mover not invoking was marked as the answer   
    You could try uninstalling the Mover Tuning plugin and see if then woks as expected.
  23. itimpi's post in Closing disk configuration gaps? was marked as the answer   
    Leaving a gap is not a problem.
    If you want to close the gap then it would involve rebuilding parity to match the new drive assignments which you say you do not want.
     
    FYI:  If you only had parity1 then this could have been done without a parity rebuild as parity1 does not use disk number as part of its parity calculations whereas parity2 does.
  24. itimpi's post in XFS First 128 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer was marked as the answer   
    Yes to Maintenance mode, but no need to use terminal as you can do it from the GUI by clicking on the drive in the GUI as described in the link and this is recommended as less error prone.
  25. itimpi's post in Shares not listed in user card was marked as the answer   
    You have Export=No which means they are not available via the network.   for security reasons this is the default setting and you have to explicitly set it to one of the other options.
