Thanks that's it fixed now.

Yes I looked and that is the case, there is an empty "Work" folder on disk 3. Would deleting the share and then re-adding it sort it out?

The share "work" is only assigned to disk 5 (2TB encrypted). I clicked compute for the "work" share and another one and attached a screen grab. There is nothing in the work share yet so 0B is not an error.

Here they are. ubuntuserver160-diagnostics-20210310-1645.zip

I found a thread here about my concerns https://github.com/dlandon/unassigned.devices/issues/53 So 1) yes it is encrypted but unraid stores the password and if you click mount then it mounts. 2) No, just that encrypted unassigned USB drive. If the disk alone gets stolen then that's fine but what if the server and disk were stolen?

Can anyone tell me the scenario(s) under which the passphrase would need to be re-entered in order to "unlock" an xfs encrypted drive. I have tried rebooting, powering off, powering off and disconnecting the drive's USB connection and every time I reboot, the drive mounts in UD and can be read on the network. I have a similar setup on OMV but moving everything to Unraid. On OMV the drive has to be "unlocked" after any reboot, which I thought was the point. Thanks

Hi I think I know the answer to this question but I'm a noob at this and just wanted to make sure. I have an encrypted LUKS disc in a USB enclosure that I created with OMV (Open Media Vault). I thought I could just plug it into my Unraid box and it would show up as encrypted, then enter the passphrase in Unassigned Devices etc. But it shows up as a new disc with no padlock and the only option is to format it. The file system on the OMV disk is ext4 so is that the reason? For Unraid it needs to be xfs or btrfs? Thanks Unraid 6.8.3

Thanks, yes I can see the problem. I will probably just end up deleting most of it.

Ok what about the stuff in lost+found? (sorry I just edited that in)

I ran the check on Disk 1 and Disk 3 and everything is working again. Trurl and JorgeB ....and Frank1940, thank you very much for your guidance with this. I have lost some data but that is to be expected in this situation? I wish there was a way I could buy you guys a beer. One other thing is there any use for the original disk 3? Oh and there is stuff in the lost+found, do I just manually copy that back to where it belongs?

Rebuild completed with no errors. I have attached a screenshot of how the 4 data drives look. The newly rebuilt drive says 3.96TB used but when I click to view what's on the drive there is nothing there. There are plenty of my files still in the other drives but the shares only show what is stored in the cache drive. I have also attached the latest diagnostic. I never rebooted, this is straight after it has rebuilt disk 1. ubuntuserver160-diagnostics-20210225-1113.zip

Thank you, trurl. I will report back when then rebuild is finished which will be 1 day and 2 hours. I will also educate myself a bit more about parity and arrays in the meantime. Thanks for your help.

Yep I have it. There are no errors.

Thanks for the responses. This is the first diagnostic I have created so I guess valuable information has already been lost, my inexperience to blame. The scenario you mention, trurl, looks very likely. I have attached the diagnostic zip file, thanks. Should I let it continue rebuilding disk 1? There are no errors with the new cable so that seems to point even more to a bad connection that has caused all this. ubuntuserver160-diagnostics-20210224-1246.zip

Hi All I'm new here, never had to use the forum as my Unraid setup has been running just fine for almost a year...that is until now and, I can't figure out what has went wrong. Hopefully someone will have the patience and point me in the right direction. So, 48 hours ago my setup was 1 Parity disk, 4TB SATA spinner Disk 1, 4TB SATA spinner Disk 2, 2TB SATA spinner Disk 3, 2TB SATA spinner Disk 4, 2TB USB2.0 spinner....ye i know but it has been no problem. 1 cache 240GB SATA SSD and of course the thumb drive with the system on it. So disk 3 was 10 years old and I got a new 4TB disk to replace it with, just because it was old and I needed more storage, it wasn't malfunctioning. I replaced the disk according to the standard procedure and the data began to rebuild onto the new disk. All fine at this stage and it was going to take at least 1 day so I went off and let it do its thing. When I checked back in 6 or so hours disk 1 was reporting lots and lots of errors, at this stage 109,606,305 errors. The process was still running but I was obviously concerned but decided to leave it to complete anyway which would still have been well into the next day. The next morning, to my surprise, the rebuild had already completed but disk 1 was showing almost 1 billion errors. The rebuild had completed far too early and I had all these errors so I just restarted the system anyway. When it booted back up I initially thought everything was fine because disk 1 was now reporting 0 errors and I could see all my shares on the network. However it was then that I found there to be a ton of missing files in those shares. When I clicked on the individual disks I could see all my files and folders but it seemed that the disks were not being formed into an array and I also couldn't copy any files into shares, Windows just reported the shares as not accessible. I had a look around and it seems as though my situation is "Disk failed while rebuilding another". I also found that because a lot of the errors were CRC errors that it might be due to a bad cable so I replaced the cable for disk 1. Somewhere in-between all this the system then decided to disable disk 1 with a red cross and so I ran the SMART extended self-test overnight and this morning the results are "completed without error". I have shut down and removed disk 1 then reinstalled it as a new device and it is currently rebuilding without any errors being reported. Also disk 1 is now being "emulated" but a lot of my shares have disappeared from the shares page and the two that still exist only contain a few files that are present on the cache drive. So none of the files on the disks are present in the shares on the network but they do exist on the actual disks. If you have read this far can you give any advice? Or even where to start fixing this? I'm ready for the worst case scenario, wipe the lot and start again. The machine is only used as file storage. None of the files are irreplaceable but I done all this by the book (I think) and I'm still screwed. Many thanks
