ridley

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.

Died?

Disk 9 seems to have had a glitch (wires?) and is in the process of rebuilding. No SMART warnings on the Dashboard. I cannot see any sign that the SSD is detected in the logs, but then again I don't really know what I am looking at. tower-diagnostics-20221021-2221.zip

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? tower-diagnostics-20221021-2221.zip

You're right. Wrong settings for the share, thanks for that.

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?

I have had a disk show up as a red cross and disabled. Does it look OK for a rebuild or more serious? tower-diagnostics-20221019-1031.zip tower-smart-20221019-1040.zip

I have had to reinstall Binhex-SabNZBd and now I cannot access the WEBUI. I have been through the thread and this does not seem than uncommon but I cannot find a solution, any ideas?

How do you do this?

I have a new PC and would like to install my Old Desktop into a VM. There are several HDDs in the old PC, a 4Tb, 1Tb SSD and a few others. Any clues on how to do this?

TDARR keeps telling me that it cannot register the node as it is already in use/registered even though it isnt. I can rename the NodeJSONDB folder and that sorts it out for a while but then it comes back. Any ideas why?

Is it possible to use an Nvidia GPU for both TDARR and VM? I have read that using the Nvidia Driver plugin will lock the system if you then try to use a VM, read about this after my server locked when trying to run Nvidia Driver plugin and a VM......🙄 So can I?

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

BTRFS or XFS? Why 20G when my old one is 400Gb in size?

there you go tower-diagnostics-20220816-1910.zip

OK , what now? Presumable rebuild the docker image?

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?

There you go

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.

Disk 24 File Check

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

I cannot remember now, it was some time ago. I think it was the former.

I am trying to reduce my number of disks down to 8 in total so I do not need to power up the diskshelf. So the 3 , 4Tb and some of the 8Tb drives will be going. I have a 14Tb and another 18Tb to add. What sort of corruption on disk24? I have looked at what is on the other appdata folders on non cache drives and they appear to be (almost) empty, just a folder structure. The system folder on Disk 2 is a folder called docker with 400Gb docker disk image file in it, the docker folder on the cache drive is empty.

8-15 you mean? I removed them and replaced them with larger drives after a bit of unbalancing.
