Thanks, unfortunately, I inherited the unit and so don't have a service contract. I had read that Cisco will provide updates to patch security issues, but I didn't have much luck when I reached out to them...

Hi, apologies in advance as this is not specifically related to UnRaid (although my UnRaid is connected to this switch 🙂). Would anyone know how I can get the most recent software for this switch? It's currently running 6.0(2)U3(4) which is close to 10 years old! Thank you!

Hi, thank you…I ran check array and even though it didn’t find any errors, the starting services message is now gone and I’m able to create new shares.

Hi, I’m running 6.12.6 and trying to create a new share. I go to SHARES and click on ADD SHARE. I type in the name of the share and click ADD SHARE. I see the UnRAID animation for a few seconds and the form is cleared and I click DONE. However, at this point, I don’t see my new share. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve tried rebooting, but the same thing happens. Note: I do notice that at the bottom of the screen, it says “Starting services….” And it’s been saying that for a long time. Does that mean something is hanging and maybe that’s why the share is not being created? Thanks

Hi, as an update, I found the issue. It seems the S3 Sleep Addin requires me to add drives outside the array to prevent sleep. I've added those drives and now the system doesn't sleep anymore and things are back to normal. I also enabled the check for NIC activity just in case. Thanks!

Hi, as an update to the above, I now realize the system is not hanging. It seems it becomes unresponsive (no web dashboard and no access to shares) after a period of time, but if I log on to the physical server itself (via the command line via physical keyboard and monitor attached to the server), it will “wake“ the system up and the web dashboard and the shares come back to life. For example, right now, it is parity checking the array and I can see the drive enclosure lights blinking, but after a while, the lights will stop and I’ll lose web and share access. And then when I go and hit enter a few times while logged into the command line, the system will wake and the lights will starting blinking again and the parity check continues. Very strange. Does UnRAID go to sleep after a period of time? That would be very strange given it’s a fileserver, but I have to admit, I am a noob here. Any thoughts on this behavior? PS - if it’s any clue, I find that only hitting enter on the physical keyboard attached to the server will “wake” it up. If I hit enter from the Web cli page, it will not wake it up. Thanks!

Hi, I had been running OS 6.9 for a while without issues, when OS 6.10 was released, I upgraded and started to experience random crashes. I’ve tried to upgrade as new releases come out, hoping it will resolve my issue, and most recently updated to 6.12.3, but my system is still hanging (no access to shares or web page). I use UnRAID as a backup device so don’t keep it running all the time…that’s why I was able to live with the crashes, but figured I should try to find a fix for my problem since I would like to upgrade some of my drives and would hate to have it crash while rebuilding the array. Is there a way to reinstall my system while keeping my current drive setup, shares, settings etc? Or any other troubleshooting tips? Thank you!

Thanks very much for all your help!

Oh, so mover doesn’t stop at the notification threshold? It keeps moving files to the array until it is full?

Thanks…I think that’s my question. How do I copy the files from poolx to the new pooly? I would like pooly to have the same file structure, setup as poolx. Do I need to create everything manually or is there a better way? Thank you for your help and apologies for the noob questions!

Sorry, I don’t understand. My goal is to install 2 new 18TB disks, move all my data off poolx, get rid of poolx and it’s associated 2TB disks. What is the best way to accomplished that? I cannot afford to buy more than two drives at this time…that’s why I didn’t think upgrading the array disks is an option.

Maybe I don’t understand…I had thought if I upgrade my array disks, given my parity disks are only 4TB, that the files on the new, 18 TB disks would not be protected. Also, with respect to keeping some free space, I don’t think I realized that was important when I first setup the server, but now have set a threshold of 15% free….

Thanks. I was thinking of buying two new 18 TB drives and moving all the files I have on poolx to these new drives (in mirrored config), and then getting rid of poolx and its associated drives. How would I accomplish this?

Oops…sorry…no Smart errors on any of the disks.

Hi, thank you for your help. Yes, agree having larger drives is better than having many small drives, and that's what I'm trying to do, but these small ones are what I had on hand when building the server and did not have the $$$ to purchase new larger ones...here is my diagnostic file. unraid-diagnostics-20220717-1451.zip

Hi, what an awesome plugin! Have been using it for one off file renames and moves and its been working like a charm. Have a question when doing large moves (eg., over 1000 folders)...after selecting files (basically everything in a folder), and I enter in the destination path, the Move dialog box says Running... No doubt it's working in the background, but what happens if I close that browser tab by mistake? Does that end the Move operation? If not, is there a way to bring back that Move dialog box so I can see the progress? Thanks!

Thanks…I had already maxed out by main array by the 30 disk limit and hence had to assign the old 2TB drives as a cache in order to expand the storage capacity). I have a 1TB SSD as another cache (Eg., besides the cache made of the 2TB drives).

Hi, when I first setup UnRAID, I used a bunch of old 2TB drives and pooled them together with btrfs as my cache. I did this mostly to increase the storage space of my Server. Now, as these disk age and larger capacity drives are available, I would like to retire these drives and replace them with a new large capacity drive. What is the best way to perform this task? Ideally, given I will also be freeing up a bunch of slots in my chassis, I will like to expand my new cache as more space is needed. Thanks you!

Hi, has anyone tried using a Cisco C3160? Seeing these on eBay…

Hi, anyone have success installing UnRAID on this 60 bay beast? Seeing some on eBay at decent prices. But can’t seem to find too much detail on it of if it has drivers part of UnRAID. Thanks!

Hi, I issued the mover stop command and it’s been 4 hours, but it seems like mover is still running. There is no access to the server and yet the disks are still reading from cache and writing to array. Is there something else I can do to stop the mover so I can reboot the server? thank you.

Hi, whenever my server is under load (for example, using FreeFileSync to mirror a large directory from Windows and deleting a large folder that is on my UnRAID server from Windows at the same time), Windows will return a device is inaccessible error after a short period of activity. Does this mean I need a faster processor or how can I troubleshoot this? My UnRAID server is an i5-3570K with 16GB of memory, LSI 9210-8i SAS card, 45 HDD's, 1 SSD and a 10G NIC. All in a Supermicro SC847 chassis. Thank you!

Hi, so I went ahead and started the array without the bad disk that is in the pool and while the array started, all the drives in the pool are labeled as Unmountable: Too many missing/misplaced devices. I've also tried scrubbing the pool, and while many errors were fixed, some were uncorrectable. The pool is formatted as RAID6, so I'm wondering why a single drive failure can lead to this. Any thoughts on what I should do next to try and recover? Thanks!

Hi, when I try to do these steps: stop array, remove 1 device in the pool -start array, let BTRFS work -stop array, add replacement device -start array, let btrfs work I stopped the array and deselected the faulty drive from the pool using the drop down box, when I go to start the array, it says "Start will remove the missing cache disk and then bring the array on-line." Should I check the box to okay the removal of the missing cache disk to start the array? I can't tell if the message means removing the faulty disk I just deselected (which I want to do) or removing the entire pool (which I don't want to do). Thanks!

Hi, I'm curious to know what it means for the UnRAID Health Status to be green with a PASS for Array Health Report. My UnRAID box is showing green and pass and yet I am getting lots of error on my btrfs pool that are showing up in my logs: Oct 14 12:22:10 UnRAID kernel: BTRFS info (device sdp1): read error corrected: ino 0 off 34270135595008 (dev /dev/sdw1 sector 1209819416) Oct 14 12:22:10 UnRAID kernel: BTRFS error (device sdp1): parent transid verify failed on 34270140792832 wanted 125792 found 120895 Oct 14 12:22:10 UnRAID kernel: BTRFS info (device sdp1): read error corrected: ino 0 off 34270140792832 (dev /dev/sdw1 sector 1209829568) Are these "real" errors and should I be worried? Will a btrfs "scrub" help clear these up? Thanks! Hammer8
