    have you defined the bucket name?, from my readme:-

     

     

    Thanks, I re-read that so many times because I thought I was crazy and missed something, turns out I was. 🙂

     

    I did figure out from another one of your posts I can just make a new mount point in the container and use that instead of media so I just make one my bucket name and that works too.

     

    Edit: Oh, i didn't see the readme, I was looking at the FAQ and it's not mentioned there: https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/rclone.md

    Each license is associated with a specific flash drive GUID. To use a license on a different flash drive, it has to be transferred to the new flash GUID, and the old flash GUID is blacklisted.

     

    Is this a pro license that you already had before you had the problem in that thread you linked?

     

    So I don't want to lose a license, I feel like if I transfer the Pro to the Plus drive I will lose the Plus license. Maybe I should just get a new usb drive and transfer the pro to that?

    The problem is the plus license is the one in my main machine now and it has the drive limit so to avoid a similar issue I want to just use my pro license instead.

    You have a plus license with 13 devices connected, it won't allow you to start the array unless you upgrade to Pro, note that if the array is started with 12 or less devices it will allow you to connect more and it will work until the next time you need to start the array again.

    Yes, I get that, but that's not my question. I was able to start the array multiple times with these 13 devices while I was home replacing the drive and it allowed it. Now it won't when I'm not physically there, why was this?  Also, I would think a basic warning when stopping the array "You have too many devices connected, you will not be able to start the array...." would be shown to prevent this situation. Now my array is stopped with no way to start it again since I'm not physically at home so I have no way to get my files. The worst part is I have a pro license too, at home, not in use...I'm starting to wonder if it's time to look at other options.

     

    Besides paying for an extended license which I don't need is there any way to "remove" a device so I can start this array back up?

  4. So I had a issue where two drives "failed" and I had to rush to replace them

    I put a new drive in and put the old one attached as a usb drive so I could copy files over, reboot and eventually rebuilt the new drive with data. My parity drive was still broken though so I just stopped the array to start to pre-clear it and now I can't start it again. I get what the message is but I'm confused on WHY it let me start it about six times over the past weeks and now all of a sudden it won't. I'm physically away from the server for a week now and can't just unplug something, is there a way I can get this back online (I need to access these files) without physically being there? Why did this just happen, it's frustrating it let me stop the array knowing I couldn't start it back again without any changes!!

  5. The rebuild went fine and just like the emulated drive it was missing a lot of files. I used an external usb HD base to connect up the old drive and I've been copying files over for days now (so slow...). All the files appear to be fine on the old drive which makes this even more confusing but this approach does seem to be working.

     

    Is there anything we can do to protect against this? Is this common, seems odd it's this easy to lose data in a protected array

    That was not the right thing to do - and you have probably caused the physical drive (that was OK) to be overwritten with the contents of the emulated drive (which was not).

     

    EDIT:  actually on reading more carefully if you did not start the array with the disk unassigned you may be OK as that is the point at which Unraid commits drive assignments, and you also did not mention a rebuild starting on he drive.   I would try unassigning it again and checking that it can still be mounted by UD.   If so keep it unassigned until you get further advice.

     

     

    Stopped array again, changed to 'no device' in dropdown (didn't start array) and the drive was mounted in UD correctly. I can browse the drive fine in ssh. I copied some files around and scp'd one locally and it was fine. Again, not sure if everything is there but it appears to be working.

    Can you mount Unassigned Disks without the array started? I've never tried.

     

    If the array was never started while the disk was Unassigned then maybe it doesn't start rebuild. Unless you mounted it read-only in UD it will be slightly out-of-sync though.

     

    Post a screenshot and new diagnostics.

     

    I didn't mount it read-only but it doesn't appear to be re-built.

    one option is to try and mount the original disk using the UD plugin to see if is in a better state than the emulated one (one reason not to rush into a rebuild over its contents).   You may have to use the option in the UD settings to change the UUID on the drive to avoid it clashing with the emulated dtive.

     

    I use UD to just mount with the array stopped and I can browse the drive without issues. It's hard to tell if anything is gone though as files are so fragmented on the drives I'm not sure what should be here. Is there a way to put this drive back in operation and see what happens?

    If the lost and found is showing everything I can live with it being gone, but I'm confused why I'm losing data if I should be able to withstand a 2 drive failure. What did I do wrong here?

    Yes - go for the repair and if prompted for it add the -L option.

     

    if the repair goes well then when you restart the array in normal mode the disk should mount and you should see all your files.   If that is not the case or anything unexpected happens then report back for further advice.

     

    For the parity drive it is a case of rebuilding it to remove the disabled state.

     

    as to what caused the original problem it could be anything and just a momentary glitch, particularly if a cable was not perfectly seated.

     

    Okay, I think that helped. I ran the check and it repairs a bunch of stuff then after running the check again I got

     

    Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
    Phase 2 - using internal log
            - zero log...
            - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps...
            - found root inode chunk
    Phase 3 - for each AG...
            - scan (but don't clear) agi unlinked lists...
            - process known inodes and perform inode discovery...
            - agno = 0
            - agno = 1
            - agno = 2
            - agno = 3
            - agno = 4
            - agno = 5
            - agno = 6
            - agno = 7
            - process newly discovered inodes...
    Phase 4 - check for duplicate blocks...
            - setting up duplicate extent list...
            - check for inodes claiming duplicate blocks...
            - agno = 0
            - agno = 1
            - agno = 4
            - agno = 3
            - agno = 2
            - agno = 5
            - agno = 6
            - agno = 7
    No modify flag set, skipping phase 5
    Phase 6 - check inode connectivity...
            - traversing filesystem ...
            - traversal finished ...
            - moving disconnected inodes to lost+found ...
    Phase 7 - verify link counts...
    No modify flag set, skipping filesystem flush and exiting.

     

    And the drive shows up but it's still disabled. I did a couple checks and the files list out but I think it's still emulated?

    A rebuild will not clear an ‘unmountable state - the rebuilt disk would also be unmountable.

     

    Handling of unmountable disks is covered here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI. 
     

     

    Okay, so I think I should try a repair first on disk3. I ran the check and got, should I remove the -n and try a repair?

     

    Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
    bad primary superblock - bad CRC in superblock !!!
    
    attempting to find secondary superblock...
    .found candidate secondary superblock...
    verified secondary superblock...
    would write modified primary superblock
    Primary superblock would have been modified.
    Cannot proceed further in no_modify mode.
    Exiting now.

     

    What option do I have for the parity drive, it doesn't have these same options? After reading the forums it looks like I can rebuild parity but I should probably get the array stable first, right? I'm nervous that if this a controller issue the longer I have an unprotected array the more likely it will flake out again and I'll start losing data.

  11. Shutdown, rechecked everything (even changed some of the cables around to see if other drives would report bad) and I have the same results.

    It wasn't missing, it was Unmountable, sorry. 

     

    I rate smart on each (fast) and the both checked okay. They also show fine clicking on the disk info icon for each. Should I just start a rebuild? I'm assuming it's a controller issue and will be researching a new one as both of these were on the motherboard controller.

  12. Diagnostics attached.

    Got a warning yesterday morning which I forgot about until I tried to use plex. Logged in to find two drives disabled and a lot of errors on other drives. I rebooted, one drive was the missing and the other parity was still disabled. Decided to shutdown to be safe and ordered two new drives. What should I try before just swapping in the new drives?

  13. Kept getting emails about moved sectors so decided to run a manual backup this morning and any time I try to I get errors like


    cp: error reading 'docker.img': Input/output error
     

    The cable is one of those 1->4 for sata controllers so I can't swap it but I changed it to another open one (and no other drives are giving me issues) but that didn't help. Not sure where to go from here. Docker won't start, VMS wont start, app data is all on the cache drive which hasn't been backed up recently. I can rebuild but ideally the less work the better. New drive will be here tomorrow, is there anything I can try to get the data off the drive before it arrives?

     

    Since my docker.img was on my cache drive too that wouldn't start so I re-created it on a working drive but now the dockers are gone. Is there a way to put these back the way they were or is that config data and template info gone with the image?

    For some reason deluge will no longer download torrents. Torrents just sit there and there is no connections/seeds/peers. I have tried restarting deluge as well as my whole server. I've tried changing the PIA end point and other than completely removing the container and reinstalling it and I'm not even sure that would fix the problem I'm not sure what else to do. Any help is much appreciated. 

    I'm having the same issue, started a few days ago and nothing on the server has changed on months. I can only conclude it's PIA and I've tried every port forwarding server listed so I'm now looking for another VPN provider.

     

    I tried disabling the VPN and it still doesn't work...wonder if that option doesn't work since it's the VPN version?
