    I'm a beginner so obviously I've got a doubt: in the following step "Click on Shares and change to "Yes" all cache shares with "Use cache disk:" set to "Only" or "Prefer". - I've clicked on my share--> appdata everything was already setted as the image attached.... I suppose there's something wrong because I can't set "Use Cache disk" in anywhere.819832787_Screenshot2022-10-31alle15_12_44.thumb.png.ea05aa20c5f0b4679c787bbbba8ec211.png

    Replace Cache SSD with M2 unit

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by Alcarimon

    HI to everybody

    I'd like to change my cache drive from the actual SSD to a M2 one, and with this shot I'll get free a Sata slot and I'll improve my unraid storage with another HDD, but I'm afraid to do a big trouble. 

    I use cache drive for dockers only as you can see on the images attached, so have I to copy the folder from my old SSD to the new one and stop or have a to do something else? is it better a clone of SSD? 

    TKS

    Hi everybody

     

    I suppose my problem is very stupid but whatever i need your Help .

    i installed the app YAClibrary (server for comics reader) but durinng the first setup i didn’t able to share my file so i created some folder to find a solution but nothing… the app doesn’t find my files. So i choose to delete all “test folder” but system tell me that i’ve not the authorization: “myunraid/nobody”. On the test folders there’s another folder created by the app but obviosly the system denied me to delete it 

    so i tried to unistall the app but the issue remain.

     

    sorry for my terrible english

    Parity Disk and replace for a new disk

    Hello @Alcarimon,

     

    No, as stated by the others, you don't HAVE TO, it is easier

     

    If you want to replace a drive, you can :

    • remove the old drive and the new drive to the array
    • mount the old drive with the Unassigned Devices plugin
    • copy the data disk to disk with Midnight Commander (mc in the terminal), Krusader or another file management docker

    There is a misunderstanding here. The Parity drive(s) need to be as large or larger that the largest Data drive of the Array.

    So if we imagine an array with Data drives like this : 1x 1TB, 3x 2TB, 1x 8TB, 1x 12TB. The Parity drive(s) need to be 12TB or larger.

     

    And don't worry, we all needed time to understand those topics, and your english is good enough to be understood. We are not all native english speakers here, I am not. ;) 

     

    Do not hesitate if you need more details.

    Great!! Tks you too!!! It is very rare to find patient and available people into the forums... mostly into the Italians one!!

    Parity Disk and replace for a new disk

    Unraid works best if you have a parity disk. It makes replacing data disks much easier and offers some protection against disk failure. If you don't have a parity disk you can add one but it can not be smaller than your largest data disk. So, if your largest data disk is 4 TB, you can add a parity disk of 4 TB or more. You don't need to try to find a 25 TB disk!

     

    If you want to replace a data disk with a bigger one and have a parity disk, the new disk can not be bigger than the parity disk. So, choose your parity disk carefully.

     

    If you want to replace a data disk with a bigger one but have no parity disk, you must copy all the files from the old disk to the new one manually. You can use the command line or mc (Midnight Commander, which is built in to Unraid) or a docker container, such as Krusader to access the disk instead of the share.

     

    The best solution would be to add a parity disk first. Then replace your data disk.

     

    WOW!! Tks you.. you've explained everything really clearly! I'll go to purchase an HD for my parity disk.!!

     

     

    Parity Disk and replace for a new disk

    HI everybody,

    I'm a beginner so I've got some (for a lot of you) stupid questions (and my english is terrible too, sorry):
    - To replace a disk to mount a bigger one have I to got a parity disk?? If no... I have another question: my share include all my seven disks, so how can copy the files of only one of them??
    - I would like to mount a Parity disk, but I'm not sure if I understood correcly: Must i mount a disk big or ugual than all my Raid? Now my Array device has 25TB , so for a parity disk have i to mount a 25TB Hard Disk????  

     

    Tks for your help!!

    Bassa velocità di trasferimento

    Ciao,

    scusami, leggo solo ora la tua risposta. 

    Ho provato sia WIFI (gigabit) che LAN ma niente.. suppongo che il problema sia dovuto dal fatto che utilizzo i power lan... ora sto per cambiare casa e cablo tutta casa... magari risolvo sto problema,

     

    Utilizzo il mio Unraid solo per storage ma comunque avevo settato la cache  per il trasferimento dati... purtroppo però non era cambiato niente!

     

    Grazie per l'aiuto!

    Infact, i’m afraid that my lan has a problem and is enought for 1080 or 4k buffer. 
    is there a program to check on the lan quality.. ? i think that my lan hasn’t a regular quality and this make the buffering issue. 
    i’ve got a gigabyte lan but Tp-link power lan

    Hi Squid

     

    how do you mean “directly”? for your opinion is a source’s issue? Does it possible that the problem is my lan? Doesn’t give me this problem 10 days ago! 
    I don’t know Unmanic…  i’m a beginner!
    Sorry

    maybe have i to restart my unraid?? It works since 25 days

    Hi everyone,

     

    since some days for watching a film with Kodi, the quality of video seams to be worse quality, like low bitrate. I found the similar problem with plex, and with it the video stunning also
    I’ve thought that the problem could be my lan connection. But how can check on it??

     

    tks! 

    (SOLVED) No Access to my folder

    in Security

    You probably need to clear the Windows credentials associated with your unRAID server in the Windows Credential Manager.

     

    Windows only allows one user access to folders via SMB and it is probably still storing your old Guest/blank credentials for non-secure access.  Until you clear those from the Credential Manager, even if you enter a new secure user and password, it will ignore them and continue to use the stored credentials.

     

    I don't know if MacOS has something similar.

    I think I cleared all credentials, but nothing. When I put user: root and pass:xxxxxxxxx Win tell me access denied 

    Anything wrong?

    Solved

    HI, 

     

    i red some guides and I setted my folder share in Private to increase my security  but now I've not access to them by Mac or win10. When I try to open one folder, Win10 ask me user and pass, I put it correctly but nothing. Same problem with MacOS. 

    With KODI, instead, I've no problem: Kodi ask me the credential as WIN but in this case no problem!

     

    WHY? 

     

    Tks for the help

    According to those diagnostics your system share is all on cache now.

    You're GREAT!!

     

    So now is it normal that SSD writes all times  during plex inactivity also? For plex inactivity i mean that it works the server but i'm not watching any video.
