    unrelated to the question, but I see on the syslog few following lines

     

    Jun 30 16:40:21 Vault kernel: critical medium error, dev sda, sector 15589184 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 1 prio class 2

     

    Also, this week the server once refused to recognize flash as boot device.. 

     

    What should I do? Replace the flash drive? What is the procedure?

    You just connect the disks to another computer, Unraid is mostly hardware agnostic, this might be a problem though:

    If it's really a RAID controller disks might not work correctly on a different one, one of the reasons RAID controllers are not recommended.

     

    Given there are no disk failure, I can connect the disks one by one right and copy its contents..? 

     

    Sijce current capacity of HD drives, I believe the new server will be much smaller

     

    Re: Raid controller, that's Adaptec HBA SATA/SAS.. Sorry

    Hi

     

    is it quite straight forward to recover from simple disk failures and perform upgrades with unraid, and wiki exists.

     

    My question is more about HW failure of the box itself. I have quite a monster server with 20 bays, raid controller, server motherboard and 64 GB RAM

     

    However, today since most of movies and audio I stream from the Netflix and Spotify, I mostly use unRaid for home production and documents backup (I still have 36 TB of archive though)

     

    Anyway, the question is what happens if I decide to scale down and move to a smaller box once the unraid server fails.

    What do I with the disks?

     

    I do have CrashPlan Pro for everything, but I never tried it for recovery, honestly I am thinking also to buy some external 18 TB HDD to backup the documents and the home works and keep it with the parents

     

    thanks in advance,

    Michael

    Sounds like you solved it.

     

    hmm, it is part of the NerdTools, and seems like I enabled it, but I don't remember why 🙂

    I think I was then tried to resolve that spin-up disk issue with 6.9.2

     

    Would you suggest to disable it?

    Or increase the RAM drive? but I don't know where do I define its size..

    Your diagnostics will provide more information on what is filling your logs and possibly how to fix that.

     

    Which logs? where are these located?

    on bootable flash? there is nothing there

    I started to get some errors on disk on top of the not spinning down, so I downgraded today to 6.9.1 and everything works perfectly again.

     

    I wonder why there is no quickfix for this?

    It is kind of breaking showstopper, isn't it?

     

    Weird..

    I 'fixed' mine by switching off SMB 'Enable WSD' settings temporarily. This prevents you from 'seeing' your server on the network whih may or may not be an issue for you. It was for me, i am used to dipping in and out of each individual disks contents on a windows pc. So, i re-enabled it and to date disks have spun down as expected. May be worth a go ...

     

    I disabled it, but it didn't help. 

    I still see disks spun down, and then awake again. 

     

    What did you mean by 'I re-enabled it' above?

    LT is already working on v6.10 which should be out soon™, don't expect any more v6.9 releases unless there's some serious data or security related issue found.

     

    Hm.. I remember somebody said we should expect now more frequent releases,

    This is still a problem for me, drives permanently in an 'up' state ... diagnostics attached as requested.

     

    Update .... my drive spindown is being interrupted by SMART reads to each disk every hour which spins them back up. What controls this timing? I'm assuming i dont need SMART checks every hour on the hour but cant find a setting to adjust anywhere???

     

    I have same issue since 6.9.2

    drives spun down, and then up.

    the only thing I see is smart access by the GUI layer

    See if downgrading to v6.9.1 helps, there are some known issues with v6.9.2 and spin down.

     

    this makes more sense to me, but I will wait then for the next version.

    Should I open a bug, or there is already an open one?

    I don't think this is folder caching.

    -- I disabled it, did not help

    - re-enabled, and enabled logs -- don't see the cache task running

     

    but I do see this again

    Jun 1 14:33:45 Vault emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdj

     

    disks are spinning down.. and then immediately spinning up.

     

    what is emhttpd? the GUI? Why does it access SMART? Does it spin up the disk?

    There's something in the support thread about not having it scan user shares (only disk shares) to prevent disk spinups incurring.

     

    Did not help:
