    No you can just pass through the unassigned disks as device by id

    I would prefer to use images rather than the physical drives as I want to reduce the number of drives in the system. 

     

    So what's the best way of doing this given my cache drive doesn't have enough room.

    I am wanting to use my Old PC as a VM on my server but it had a number of HDD's in it. C was a 1Tb SSD then there was another 1Tb SSD, 1.5Tb HDD and finally a 4Tb HDD.

     

    I know that to get the best performance the image should be mounted on the cache drive in the Unraid Server but do all the drive images need to be there, the reason that I ask is because my Cache drive is to small to mount them all.

    this happened to me recently too. i had one intel 660p nvme ssd which i started to clone/image to another drive and it died during the process

    it was causing my bios to freeze on the reboot or was u detected

    not much you can do about it. it happens

    if it does not read 2 drives on the same port/slot then it might be a faulty controller port

    you need a different pc or usb enclosure to confirm the actual drive is ok

     

    Died?

    I plugged an SSD from an old PC into the server and it was detected as unassigned drive and I started to make an image from the disk, the image failed and I see that this was because the drive is no longer in the unassigned devices. I have tried removing it and replacing in another slot, rebooting, reseating it etc but it is not recognised. It is the same with another 1Tb SSD which was being found before.

    Any idea what I should look for?

    Cannot see img files

    in General Support

    Posted

    I am in the process of trying to transfer my old pc to a VM on UNRAID and I have been using the qemu-img command to create the img files from the old HDD's. The command seems to run OK but I cannot see the files in the folder via the GUI or via a share

     

    But if I navigate there via the console, they are shown in the folder, what is going on?

    Execution Error on starting/stopping dockers.

    Mainly because there's no real reason for it to be that size.  20G is more than sufficient for 99% of the users.  The other 1% 40G would suffice.

     

    400G means that if everything is configured correctly you wind up wasting ~380G of space on the cache drive.  If you've had problems with the image constantly filling up and just can't make heads or tails of why, then instead of an image, use a folder (Settings - Docker with the service stopped).  At least then it'll grow and shrink accordingly and only take up the space it actually needs.

     

    Thank you so much for all your help, finger crossed things seem to be working again.

    Now I need to set up appdata / VM backup

    As you can see, the appdata folders on the array are also appdata folders on cache.

      

     

     

    So anything that's on the disks that is duplicated on the cache drive can be deleted? 

    Can I delete completely empty folder structure on the disks without checking that they are on the cache drive? For instance on disk25 I have appdata/binhex-plexpass that has 16000 folders which contain 0 bytes...

    Any tools that I can use to compare the cache drive to disks for the cleanup?

    What do you get from command line with this? 

    ls -lah /mnt/user0/appdata

     

     

    There you go.

    I have repaired the file structure on disk25 and re run the mover and this is what I get,

     

    what data is on the non cache drives appdata is a mixture of 

    binhex preclear
    krusader
    Dolphin
    binhex plexpass
    kde
    binhex krusader

     

    The krusader ones can just be reinstalled, pre clear not needed. Plexpass if push came to shuff I could get the DB to regenerate it self., prefer not to if possible.

    Go to Docker in Settings, delete docker.img. Leave docker disabled for now. You will be recreating docker.img later as 20G, and it will be put on cache where it belongs.

    So what you meant was you have been replacing some drives with larger drives, and shrinking the array after moving files off other drives then removing them. Is that it? What method did you use to remove the drives? New Config and rebuild parity, or New Config after clearing the disks?

     

    Post a screenshot of Compute... for appdata.

     

    Then check filesystem on disk24

     

     

     

    Appdata Compute, checked file system on 24 but it has errors
