Oh, like each as an `xfs` (my disk settings) FS installed?? That's interesting, never knew that. Well, if so, that'll be cumbersome, but manageable. Thanks for tip

Hello there! I've been using UnraidOS for the past 5 years. It was brilliant for my use cases. But, as I grow my home-lab, it is more and more obsolete in my case. So I decided to move out from UnraidOS to a NixOS / Arch server with a Kubernetes Node on it. I have one issue to resolve before moving out, how to get my data out. I currently have a 4 HDD disks, with 2 parity (x2 4TB) and 2 cache drives (1 parity and one 1 as storage). I have around 10TB of data (10TB as primary and around 500GB as cache) and I can't afford to buy a huge disk to move my data out and put it back in when my new server is set up. Is there a solution for it? My guess is that, if I just unplugged UnraidOS, just plugged the drives into another computer, I might miss some part. I don't know what type of software parity unraid is using (I would guess something like RAID 6). Thank you! P.S: Thanks to the UnraidOS team for bringing an awesome solution in the home-lab/nas ecosystem!

Hey! I've been using user.scripts for triggering my backup script ever 3 days, but I noticed since I upgrade to unRAID v6.10.3 (I haven't check before this version bc it was working, I guess) that I get 2 behavior with it. One is doing what it's supposed to do via the run script button, another one when it's in running in background or via the run in background button. I'm more interested in the background method to automate my backups. To be more specific, I'm using "rclone" and "restic" to backup everything to "storj" data center. rclone has its configuration working and stored as file in $HOME/.config/rclone/rclone.conf which is setted up automatically by another script, and a simple script to backup everything: #!/bin/bash echo $(rclone config file) export RESTIC_PASSWORD=ABEAUTIFULPASSWORD export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rclone:storj:SERVER/LOCATION echo "Starting backup..." restic backup --exclude-file=/boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/backup_data/excludes.txt > restic forget --keep-last 2 --prune echo "Backup finished successfully" Everything is working as intended with run script or by using bash /boot/config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts/backup_data/script But when running in the backup I get this output from the script run Script Starting Oct 01, 2022 12:04.54 Full logs for this script are available at /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/backup_data/log.txt Configuration file doesn't exist, but rclone will use this path: /.config/rclone/rclone.conf # <======= debug line to test if rclone detect the config file in the context. It should point to /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf. Command "rclone config file" Starting backup... rclone: 2022/10/01 12:04:54 NOTICE: Config file "/.config/rclone/rclone.conf" not found - using defaults rclone: 2022/10/01 12:04:54 Failed to create file system for "storj:cronos/backup": didn't find section in config file Fatal: unable to open repo at rclone:storj:cronos/backup: error talking HTTP to rclone: Get "http://localhost/file-5577006791947779410": unexpected EOF rclone: 2022/10/01 12:04:54 NOTICE: Config file "/.config/rclone/rclone.conf" not found - using defaults rclone: 2022/10/01 12:04:54 Failed to create file system for "storj:cronos/backup": didn't find section in config file Fatal: unable to open repo at rclone:storj:cronos/backup: error talking HTTP to rclone: Get "http://localhost/file-5577006791947779410": unexpected EOF Backup finished successfully Script Finished Oct 01, 2022 12:04.54 I noticed that when running in background, rclone doesn't use my configuration file (like it doesn't exists) and as fallback try using the /.config/rclone/rclone.conf which is not right as rclone default behavior should look up at $HOME/.config/rclone/rclone.conf Any idea why I get 2 behavior with the script? Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the info ^^. So, how should the .tgz archive build (can we put binaries, or only plain files, etc) ? The V5 doc isn't really explicit on what should be in it and its architecture 😛. Thanks !

Hello there! I was browsing the documentation about the flash drive's folders and I came across this page https://wiki.unraid.net/Files_on_v6_boot_drive . I saw the folder ` /extra - optional; any packages here will be automatically installed at boot ` but I can't find any documentation about it. I wish to use to included binaries of my own and 3rd party ones (like small utility tools). Does anyone know how this folder works ? I've seen one the v5 doc that it should contains .tgz archive, but nothing more. Thanks !

Thanks for quick reply as always :). I'm not sure why the drive failed but I suspect this is related to a thread I've made a month ago: topic . I've updated my BIOS firmware and the problem went away. I'm hoping that if I remove this drive, it will be more stable and hopefully no other drives would spin down. I'm gonna move my data to another disk and then remove it as you suggested in other posts. Tho, if you have time to analyze the diagnostic, I'll gladly take it :). Here's the diagnostic. cronos-diagnostics-20211215-1529.zip

Hello there! I've been looking for a solution on how to remove a failed drive. I've found this link but also few post in the forum saying to move data out of the drive then remove it with a new config. I don't plan replacing the drive any time soon. If I'm following the link instructions, will my data be lost (I guess not) ? Thanks !

Update: it's been almost 10 days without disk failure after a BIOS update. I guess the BIOS update did solve the problem for now. But I'm still gonna checkout other possible issues. Thanks for the help guys !

I've updated my BIOS. It was outdated from 1 major version. I'll see in one week if this is fixing the problem. Else, I'll just troubleshoot the PSU splitter cable and then if not successful, change my motherboard (as it needs to be upgraded either way). I'll keep this post up to date ^^.

@JorgeB arf, I was really hopping that wouldn't be motherboard related... Well, gonna check tonight for BIOS updates. I don't any (yet) other SATA controllers.

@ChatNoir One with 4 3.5" server grade drives and 2 one another one (one SSD and a "normal" 2.5" HDD)

Thanks for the quick response :). Here's the power supply : "Corsair RM850x (v2), 850W" I'me using a simple Nvidia MSI GeForce GT 710 + an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. I'm gonna try tonight to remove the GPU and wait for a another week to check if something is happening. The drives are simply connected with the base cables given with the power supply (like this).

Hello there! I've encountered many issues with disks disabled this year. Every weeks or even shorter (approximately), I have a disk disabled on my server and the whole server's applications (docker, VMs, etc...) are going down (simply nothing work). I simply remove the disk from the array via the main tab, start the array, stop it again and then add the failing drive. IF stop the array failed (the drive couldn't be unmounted), I simply restart the server and continue the previous explained steps. What is weird with this issue, it is not specific to a drive. All drives are subject to this issue. I've already replaced my SATA cables, but it doesn't solved the issue. So I was wondering if someone can help me diagnose this thing :). I think it is a hardware issue (almost sure) but, as said, I've already replaced my SATA cables (which was the least expensive action to do). After, if I need to repair more expensive stuff life MB, drives power supply, I need to be sure this will solve the issue ^^. My though is that I might have a problem with the motherboard SATA sockets. Last option, a power supply issue (but I don't think that would occur a such error). I've attach the latest diagnostic after a drive was disabled (~5mins before). Thank you in advance ! cronos-diagnostics-20211027-1437.zip

I also had this error today. Restating with unraid-api restart worked like a charm. But what is the cause of this (except from the apparent Graphql offline) ? Is it because of the plugin update that needs a restart each time or is it a known bug ? Thanks
