Did you enable it (right hand side of the config section)?

In general I try to keep updates as seamless as possible, but this was such a big change that was always going to be practically impossible. If v2.0.0 wasn't only released less than 3 weeks ago this would have been labelled v3.0.0, which would have better conveyed the possibility of breaking changes. There shouldn't be any such breaking changes again, at least not in the v2 series.

You also need to make sure you are running the latest version of the docker, there have been several releases since yesterday

You need to click "Update Apps List" in Items list, then you need to go to each item and make sure the correct application type is set.

Sounds like a good solution, I didn't know nextcloud worked that way

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/trigger-commands-on-file-or-directory-changes-with-incron/ (though not sure how you would install it) in addition to something like docker exec -it nextcloud php /path/to/occ files:scan

I think we are all waiting for you to build it.

nextcloud is a fork of owncloud. Iirc most of the owncloud staff moved to start up nextcloud. Seafile is based in china I think, which might be a concern for some people, but if not it's supposed to be decent, I've not used it myself, but you are probably going to have issues with anything if you are having issues with Nextcloud. If you want to move files onto nextcloud the easiest way is to manually move them not using a browser or the app, then just commandline in and tell it to scan for files.

You can also just use duplicati with a cloud backend such as backblaze or google

I got an 8TB ironwolf from ebuyer for £189 a few weeks ago, they are £198 at the moment though - https://www.ebuyer.com/760589-seagate-ironwolf-8tb-3-5-nas-hard-drive-at-ebuyer-com-st8000vn0022

What was the failure in the post read?

Yes, I was wrong thinking an "empty" disk was actually empty. The real takeaway, and answer to my original question, is if you want to remove the disks and keep parity valid you need to zero the drives manually while they are part of the array. *edit* might be a nice feature to have, if a drive is empty have a "Remove this drive and shrink array" button, which zeros the drive and unassigns it from the array.

Also @trurl, I understand perfectly how parity works, if you don't understand how 2 identical drives removed from an array would mean parity is still valid then maybe it's you who doesn't understand parity. The issue at stake was whether the drives being empty *were* in fact identical, that's what I wasn't sure of, I wondered if formatting would help, it wouldn't as @jonathanm explained, so I played it safe and am doing a rebuild. *edit* I was being a bit facetious there as I'm sure trurl does understand how it works, but for anyone reading this who doesn't understand how removing 2 identical drives would mean parity was still correct and wants to know, I'll try to explain Imagine you have 4 drives, you want to remove 2. As long as they are *absolutely* identical they cancel each other out in terms of parity, in the example below 3 and 4 are the identical drives 1 2 3 4 P 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 So if you remove 3 and 4 you are left with 1 2 P 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 As you can see parity is exactly the same. The reason for this is the value for parity is always whatever is needed to make the sum of the drives even. The sum of 2 identical drives is *always* even (0+0 = 0 | 1 + 1 = 0), so removing them can't have any effect on the parity value, if parity is 1, then 1 + 0 is still 1 and if it's 0, then 0 + 0 is still 0. How you can be *absolutely* sure they are identical is another question, as if they aren't 100% identical you will have invalid parity, so it's very dangerous

I don't mean there are no files because it's been formatted, I mean there are no files because the drives are empty... Regardless though, I've done as suggested, removed the drives and a "Parity-Sync/Data-Rebuild" is in progress.

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Yeah, the rest are all good, I was only trying to avoid doing another parity rebuild because I've already done 3 this month (the monthly scheduled one on the 1st, and another 2 when I removed 2 x 1TB drives - not at the same time, or I'd have done it in 1 go, which is what I should have done) + the next scheduled one is in 6 days *edit* There are no files though, the drives are empty

I read somewhere on here if you make an exact copy of a drive you can remove both and parity will still be valid, but it wasn't really explained how to do that. I've just moved the contents of 2 x 1.5TB drives to a 4TB drive, so I now have 2 empty 1.5TB drives that I want to remove, which made me think of that procedure, so I was wondering if I could format both to xfs (they are both currently reiserfs) so that they are both definitely clear and then remove both and tell unraid that the parity is still valid? Or is there more to it than that?

I'd agree with johnnie.black, SMART looks perfect. I read somewhere that connection errors usually show up under 199, but that is empty as well.

Comically late to the party, but I'll throw these in here as a very simple concept. and It's just a simple logo that could be used to brand unraid, with the blocks representing parity, it would work at any size, and would be dead easy to render as a vector. At this point though I'm sure something much better has been designed, it just stuck in my head.

Latest version should fix the nzbget bug. Also master version now opens in a new tab, so it will be in the next version

There is one, I think CHBMB is just dragging his heels
