So I can get unraid to boot on a clean install but as soon as I swap the config file over it just doesnt want to boot off the drive. So I was thinking about just moving over select files and see what I can get to work. What do you guys think I can get rid of? Besides my pro key, i would like the drives in their order and shares data. I don't mind reloading all the docker images if i need to.

I have been putting this off but things are starting to break/wont update so I have no choice. I removed the USB drive and copied everything over to my PC. If I gnome-disk-utility the USB, remove the partitions, format and run the standard install process with the downloaded zip off the unraid website, how does unraid know the usb stick is the same one? I was tempted to swap the USB drive I am using out for a new one thats of better quality (the one im using is kind of old now) but I didnt want to kill a license until my drive failed. That got me thinking that if I did this how is unraid going to know the USB stick is the same once I have formatted everything? I am guessing all (most) USB drives have a number like a mac or just a S/n that unraid ties the license to?

any ideas?

I need some help with my Docker NextCloud setup. So I used the tutorial a while back from spaceinvador and everything has been working fine until it got outdated. I think it was a php error. I didn’t know when you update the container it doesn’t actually update nextcloud. Now I know. So I found and ran the update commands but it app got stock on update files and I couldn’t figure out how to kill the process to start over. (if you know how to do this I would still like to know even though I have a different issue now). In my wisdow I though I would just uninstall nextcloud docker and reinstall but it still showed up as updating. Then I found a post saying to remove the app data. Sooooo I did that. Then I got a clean install but now I cannot get my files / nextcloud share to show up. I tried creating the same username but nextcloud said I already had that name and use but also wont let me log into it. I don’t care about the user name. I just need nextcloud to access the original share.

My unraid has been working great but I have not updated yet. Reason is that when I first made my server I made the boot flash drive only 1.1GB in size. Its a 15gb drive. No idea when, why, or how I did that but is it possible to expand that so I can have enough memory available to update the server? Also, all my computers are Linux based so I don't have access to any windows programs. F-disk for me.

I'm convinced, Just created a my second pool instead of using the unassigned drives.

For the pools. Whats the additional benefit for letting unraid have management of the drives instead of keeping them unassigned? My perception of pools were just for fast data transfer to be stored on the disk with mover later on. Which works great. Will pools for OK with standard disks not SSD?

Yes you can and I apologize, that's was not my intention.

Sorry. Yea they are both me. I didn't have access to my password manager/email and I made Ineedcoffee for my phone to give a quick response. This is my main account.

So on a different issue but kind of the same. I added those two disks 10 and 11. I purchased those to do a shinobi docker setup. I had added those disks to the array but in the videos I see spaceinvador uses the unassigned drives plugin. GREAT!!!!! I didn't know that plugin existed and it would make since to me why you would set it up that way because you don't need a parity of the all the recordings all the time. So now how do I remove two disks from the array? I assume I would remove the 2 disks and the parity and just rebuild the parity again off of the 3 disks and leave those two unassigned? Is there a special way or order I should do this in?

Yup, Sorry, I didn't know the logs were different. Here is with the array running. Disk 1 was the drive I ejected on accident. I was trying to get the trays out to attach disk 10 and 11 which are the newest drives. 10 & 11 just finished the preclear processes. tower-diagnostics-20210803-2348.zip

Can you give me some insight into what your looking at? I am interested to learn.

Sorry Trurl. Here it is tower-diagnostics-20210803-2134.zip

So how would you go about rebuilding this. As I was looking I found the new config tool. Would that work in this instance?
