All 8 of mine are set to default as well.

trurl, I ran the command last night, and had 1 thing listed, an images folder in an installation folder for some mac software I downloaded at least a year ago and haven't touched since. I deleted the entire parent folder. I checked the tower first thing this morning and all of my drives were still spinning but the command didn't show anything being accessed.

Well it turns out I got a little excited too soon. I left for an hour with just no pcs connected to the tower, and yet all my drives are still spinning. My spin down time is set to 30 minutes.

Frank, background polling is set to 'no'.

OK so I boot into safe mode and then spun down all the disks using the spindown button. They all spun down for about 10 seconds and then gradually started to spinup again, even without any interaction with the tower. I have three pcs in my house, all Windows 8.1, and all three map my user shares as network drives (movies, music, documents). I shut down two of the pcs and removed the shares on this PC and have been going for about 10-15 minutes without the drives spinning up. That's the longest I've seen the drives stay spun down. Is this expected behavior from mapped network drives? Any way around this?

my go file has not been modified and is identical to the go-safe file. I assume this means I'm essentially always running the equivalent of safe mode, is this correct? Anyone have any ideas what this can be? These disks just keep spinning all day long.

I am having trouble getting any of my disks to spin down. On their own, they will never spin down, but I can click the disk on the main page to spin them down. When they do manage to show the spun down icon, the drive is back up and spinning within a matter of minutes...even with no use.

Ahh man, I just remoted home to check on the model. It looks like Amazon did indeed send me a 2TB! I ordered it earlier this year after a sale and only put it in the server a month ago. That's what I get for not being on the ball I guess. Thank you fro the help.

I've upgraded disks many times before and have never had a problem with the drive showing the correct capacity. I recently replaced a 1TB with a 3TB, unraid saw it offered to proceed with the data-rebuild. I went through and and now I'm running low on space again. I just noticed the 3TB is showing as 2TB on the Main Unraid tab. I'm running version 5.0-rc16b. My parity is a 3TB as well. Does anyone know why this would have happened and what I can do to fix it?

Rob, I went ahead and downloaded the latest RC, and reformatted my flash drive for it. Then dropped back on my shares and key and it's back up. Thank you for your help, if you notice anything else off in the log please let me know.

Rob, I should have specified, I tried both URL's and I tried both of them again and receive a 404 for both. I appreciate the AHCI tip, that should work well.

Rob, I switched to AHCI and tried again but got the same result with http://gtower/main and \\gtower in Windows Explorer. I grabbed a new syslog, it's attached. syslog.txt

I was having some trouble getting one of my plugins to start so I restarted my tower today for the first time in a month or so. I tried going to the ip and web address http://gtower and it would not respond. So I then plugged a monitor in and rebooted and did not see anything alarming, it still went to the login and started up sickbeard/sabnzbd/couchpotato. I removed the flash drive, renamed extra to extraOLD, and config/plugins to config/pluginsOLD, and made sure the go file only had the 3 defailt lines in it. Still booted just fine, but I cannot access it. I'm attaching the syslog in hopes someone can help me out? Thank you syslog.txt

Joe, I saw another thread you were helping on where it turned out to be memory. I have stopped all custom scripts outside of vanilla unraid and default unmenu from booting in the go script. I then restarted and ran the samba start command.

OK, I'm not sure where there is a 'Start Samba' button on the official interface though.

I use the default username (i guess it's root), but I have never typed in a username within windows. I just remembered I have unraid installed so I went to gtower:8080 and am greeted with SAMBA is STOPPED, Shared drives will not be visible on the LAN.. In array management there is a button for 'Start Samba' but it does not work.

I'm using Unraid 4.7. Log file attached I keep my iTunes catalog files on my unraid servers. I was having trouble last night with permissions, itunes constantly told me I did not have the appropriate permissions to save the catalog. I then opened windows explorer, navigated to the itunes folder on tower and clicked properties --> security and granted full control for everyone. This did not fix the problem. I then restarted the server. When it finished booting I tried to navigate to \\tower as I normally do and the path is not accessible. I can view http://tower and everything looks fine from the web interface but cannot view anything through explorer. Does anyone have any ideas what could have happened? unraidlog.txt

I have been having major trouble with my server ranging from speed to dropped connection, with the only thing left to do is to restart. After doing some reading on the dropped connection it looks like a new NIC card might help alleviate the situation (and maybe help out on the speed as well). Does anyone have a NIC card they have been using with great results?

I tried this card out with 4.4.2 and it works perfectly, even with 1tb drives.

I've got it doing a full parity calculation with disk8 in the disk5 spot. Thank you guys for the help!

I've posted a picture of where I am at. I have removed all of the data from disk5, stopped the server, removed the disk and restarted. If I read you right, At this point I can go to devices and move disk8 to disk5 without losing any of the data on disk8. I will then press restore and after a parity check everything will be back to normal?

I am in the process of upgrading my motherboard. My current motherboard has 2 PATA and 2 SATA with a 4port SATA card. I am upgrading to a 1 PATA and 8 on-board SATA motherboard. I currently have 4 PATA drives and 5 SATA hooked up and need to get rid of the two smallest (both PATA) because there is no room for them on the new motherboard. I have removed all of the data from the smallest drive and have disconnected it. UnRaid tells me I have a missing disk. How can I tell unraid I do not want to upgrade the disk so I can move on to removing the second PATA drive? Thank you for the guidance!

I have an unRaid pro license. Can I change out the motherboard, yet keep the same flash drive and still be covered by the license? My original motherboard only had 2 SATA and I have been adding PCI to SATA cards. I'd like to move to a motherboard that has most of the ports I am going to use on the board itself.

Thank you for all the help today Joe. Do you know if there is anyway to see if the shfs process is taking up memory? It's been running for about 5 hours now

I can still access disk5/Movies, disk6/Movies, disk7/Movies and disk8/Movies and the contents inside. I am praying that doesnt change! I did use the rm -r Movies command previously but it doesnt seem to have fixed anything. Will the loop eventually stop?
