yay! its back up! (disk 8 physically disconnected, so is the sata card) thank you Jorge!!!

wait what? i was checking cables for ages lol. i disconnected disk 8, i believe its this cheap sata card i bought off amazon. but i am stressing about disk 6. ok ill do what the check filesystem help page recommends - going into maintainance mode etc. thanks again for your help.

can you tell me which file in the diagnostics i should be looking at to see which SATA port disk 6 is ?

thats the new drive which i put in a sata card for. i will disconnect it, possibly its a bad card. what about disk 6?

its still bad. i believe you that it might be a cable issue, can u tell me what sata port disk 6 is on mate? that'd help me a ton. new diags inc. ps thank u i really appreciate this. storage-diagnostics-20230310-2308.zip

ok, checked cables, its booting now.. i didnt see any issues though, but made sure all firmly plugged in. is disk 6 being 'seen' or is it completely absent, like if i went into the BIOS would it be there?

i did a quick check before but i will again, thanks. back soon

ah yes, i forgot. sorry about that. thanks for your reply!! here they are storage-diagnostics-20230310-2223.zip

hi... i woke up today and saw there's a host of issues on my server. 1 drive 'not installed' and red, another "unmountable: wrong orno file system". i did SMART (quick) scan and all drives are passing, i am doing a read check but its going so slow, at <1 mb/sec so it's saying it will take 180+ days to complete. wth is going on? willing to try anything. only change that's occurred is that I added a new drive and SATA card about 1 month ago. all of these 14tb drives are less than 12 months old. should not be anythign wrong with them physically. theyre not overheating, nothing.

please disregard, its fixed now, i had the wrong sata port plugged in.

Hi. I am somewhat of a noob with unRAID still, and I just powered down and added a data drive (8tb) but when I rebooted the 14Tb array #1 was listed as unassigned along with the new 8tb data drive. Help! I havent done anything else apart from that, I didn't want to damage anything. the array disk is listed as unassagined

yah I know, I have the important stuff on LTO (have about 100 LTO-5 tapes) unRAID has really changed my day to day life. My only regret is not getting into it sooner!

oh i see. i guess it's just my OCD. i'll leave it as it is then, id freak out if i lost data. thanks a lot

Sorry, another question now -- How do I "balance" out the free space on this new drive, to distribute it among the other older drives?
