thanks itimpi !!

I have a disk (which is the sole survivor of a previous unraid server disaster in which I managed to fry 6 disks with a faulty PSI).
The disk does have data on it, which I am happy to scrub in a format.
The device is ahown as "Dev 1" below.
The current issue is that the option to add this to the array is not present. See screen shot attached.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks.

I have a share structure that I want to change to accommodate Plex.
Current structure:
mnt/user/Movies1
mnt/user/Shows1
mnt/user/Photos
Target structure:
mnt/user/Media/Movies1
mnt/user/Media/Shows1
mnt/user/Media/Photos
I'll then create a share for Plex as:
mnt/user/Media
How can I effect this ? Is there a plugin to do this ? Or do I have to create the new folder structure in Windows ?
Thanks.

Thanks again. Very helpful.

OK. So having given this some more thought:
Does this make sense?
Parity - WDRED Plus 4TB- 3.5in HDD
Cache - WDRED 500GB SA500 2.5in SSD
Drive 1 - WDRED Plus 4TB- 3.5in HDD (Older / Archive)
Drive 2 - WDRED 1TB SA 2.5in SSD (Current Stuff) - ?? Maybe to sit outside of the array ?
Thanks.

Thanks for this.
QuoteSometimes you can get a burned drive to work again by replacing its board with one from the same model.
Question: Would it be sufficient to repair the Parity drive ? Could I then rebuild the data in new drives, without repairing the old data drives ?
QuoteAll of those old SSDs including cache are too small to be useful IMO
This really would be a temporary situation...a few weeks; until I can get some breathing room.

TLDR; I burnt out the logic boards on 4 out of the 5 hard drives, including the parity. Complete loss. (Make sure you have a big enough PSU - don't keep switching it off and on).
Devastated. Looking to rebuild. I don't have oodles of cash to spend on a drive array that has no data. I figured that I would buy new drives as and when I need them / when they come on sale.
My data storage needs have been reset to zero.
Data needs;
Photo's: < 1TB
Shows and Movies over the next year: approx 2TB
Other Stuff: <500GB
Practical Needs => Serve up Shows and Movies to Kodi. Want to ensure that there is little to no lag (snappy and responsive)
I am thinking about this drive config and would like some feedback:
Parity: 6 TB WD Red Plus
Cache: 64GB SSD (Reusing old drive)
Drive for Current TV Shows : 60 GB SSD (Reusing old drive)
Drive for Unwatched Movies: 60 GB SSD (Reusing old drive)
Drive for then storing Watched TV shows and Movies, Photo's and Other Stuff : 6TB WD Red Plus
Hardware: Old i3 CPU + 8 GB RAM + Gigiabyte H77N MB (all 12 years old)
If I lose the 60GB SSD's then no sweat.

Continuing to try building temporary unraid server after main one failed. Using same GUID flash drive.
I have tried to read up on this error message with no much luck;
Read the hpa threads; although I have a gigabyte motherboard, I can't find any options as those described.
My current setup;
Parity -250gb hdd
Disk 1 - 60gb SSD
Disk 2 - 60gb SSD
Previous setup;
Parity - 6tb red
Disk 1 - 3tb red
Disk 2 - 4tb red
Disk 3 - 3tb red
Seems like it is reading the old array ...
Can you please lead this horse to water !

No way for anything to know that, and it doesn't matter.
What matters is the flash drive. The license is registered to the GUID of the flash drive.
If that is the same flash drive you were using before, no reason you need a trial key. You can probably get most of your configuration working again on that old hardware. Did you already wipe it out? Do you have a flash backup?
I did have a backup of the flash drive. I'll give it a go. Thanks

In trying to obtain a trial license key. In trying to obtain the radiation key, I am receiving a message that the GUID is already registered with another user.
Context: I am a long time unraid user. My motherboard failed yesterday... I need to source a new motherboard, CPU and RAM; an event I wasn't prepared for.
As a temporary measure, I am using an old box on which I'm attempting to install unraid. This may be a box that many many years ago had been running unraid, I'm not certain.
Any ideas ?

I often experience large variabilities of file transfer to my unraid server. Attached is a video showing a file transfer; the speed starts off at 90 MB/s then dips down to 3 MB/s, going back up to the 30's then 50's then back down again. Sometimes it can grind to a complete stop then run at less than 1 MB/s for sometime.
Can I address this without adding a cache drive ?
Hard Drives:
Parity: WD60 EFZX
2 X : WD30 EFRX
1 X : WD60 EFRX
Thanks for any help.

OK... I solved the issue myself....

My unraid server has been up and running for years and years. Fantastic system. I use it for hosting my Kodi media system. From time to time, I have received the message ""Connection timed out" when I try to read a media directory, but with a bit of patience, it would finally connect.
Currently, this is a persisitent and unending state of affairs. When I try to connect via the browser, I receive the message "This site can’t be reached".
I checked the cables and the switch.
I had recently switched ISP to Bell. There may be some complications arising from resolving subnets / IP address ?
The UNRAID server has a fixed IP address in the range 192.168.86.XXX
The PC that I am using to psot this has a dynamic address, currently reading as 192.168.87.XXX
I thought to change the IP address of the Unraid to 192.168.87.XXX, thinking that I could do this via the USB flash drive, but for the life of me, I can't remeber how to do this ?
What are my next steps in resolving this issue?
Thanks.

Thanks. I read through the parity swap procedure. I think that I get it

Hi,
I have the be following array. I wish to add a new WD plus 6TB, replacing the 2TB duvet. I have a total of 4 slots.
Am I correct in saying that I should do the be following;
1. Run a pretty check
2. Stop the array
3. Remove the parity drive
4. Replace with the new drive.
5. Wait for the rebuild to take place.
6. ?? Remove the 2tb drive.
7. Replace with the previous parity drive
Current Array
Parity - (sdb) - 4TB
Drive 1 - (sdc ) - 3TB
Drive 2 - (sde) - 2TB
Drive 3 - (sdd) - 3TB
Are there any steps that I have missed ?
Will this work ok ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yesterday, I went to updae to 6.8.2. I received an error -
plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1
I searched the forum
=>suggestions were to download the update and manually apply by copy paste.
My actual solution was to switch off the VPN.
Once I did this, then re-tried, it worked without a hitch.
Hope I might have helped.
How do I change folder structure
in General Support
Posted
I would like to add a folder "Media" in order to create a structure of:
/disk1/media/Movies1
/disk1/media/MoviesCurrent
/disk1/media/Shows1
/disk1/media/ShowsCurrent
Currently the structure is:
I have files and folders within these folders right now.
What is the best way to make these changes ?
I have a cache drive right now which includes these folders
Presumably I would clear the cache first ?
Thanks for your help.
