Hey all. I've been running UnRAID for years now. I recently upgraded to a MSI B760 motherboard and an i5-13500 on my main rig.
I took a backup of my flash before I changed equipment. I got the system to boot with the new hardware... as it should, perfect! I added two 8TB drives to my already existing four 16TB drives. Everything good so far... keep going. I upgraded from 6.9.2 to 6.12.4. Then I started having stability issues. Freezes, etc. Disabled c-states, changed over to ipvlan. I thought I had her licked. Get up this AM, can't ping the system again. Hit the power button on the system and it immediately turns off. I try to reboot, the system kept going into the BIOS. I put the Kingston 8GB flash drive into a Windows system.... nothing on it nor can it be formatted. "No Media" D.O.A.
Here's my problem: with all my troubleshooting for freezes and such, I forgot to take a backup of the flash after I added the two 8TB drives! Stupid!!
I've restored my 6.9.2 to another USB drive.
Issue 1: I've never transferred a key from one drive to another, so I need to figure that out. ( I do have my 6.9.2 flash backup )
Issue 2: I don't know what the 8TB drive slot allocations were. (either Disk 4 or Disk 5)... and I'm scared to start the array with them out of order in fear of corrupting the array. Can they be out of order?
Issue 3: Should I just create a new USB with 6.12.4? I do know the parity and cache drive allocations... I just don't have where the 8TBs were.
I'm hard down here, I'm a little frazzled, frustrated with the hardware issues and stability problems I'm having. I can't believe the perfect storm with the flash drive exploding. I've been in I.T. for over 20 years so of course my wife is giving me the business because I should know what I'm doing.... "Why aren't the security cameras up? Why isn't Plex working?"
Can anyone give me some advice? 64TB array in jeopardy!!
