Thanks I have done that now, it took 2 days lol. I have a heap of data in the Lost and Found directory. A question I have is would an alternative have been to swap the drive out and have it rebuilt from Parity? Or is the invalid rive content also reflected in parity? I've realised I've lost most of my files. It's awful. I would really like to know what has caused this and whether there is something I should do differently if it occurs again. I always thought if a data drive failed the parity drive was there to rebuild the content of that drive. In this case I did not do a drive rebuild obviously, but Im thinking I should have.

I realise this situation Im facing is a bit different to past. I normally get the Red X but in this case my 6TB data drive is showing as unmountable. I note that my entire Music share is gone, which is really odd as it should span all my drives. That aside, I thought the FORMAT option might be my way out but I believe that writes the blank drive to parity so no way I want to do that. Can anyone advise any troubleshooting steps for this?

ok thanks so its probably not directly contributing to my issue. Any thoughts on what the output of the check means?

Thanks for both replies. I guess I should so some more digging first. I ran the reiserfsck on the disk in question and got the below output. This NAS has been out of action for a while, and I've lost track a little of the whole unRAID solution but I read elsewhere I should not be using reiserfs? Ill add diagnostics shortly. tower-diagnostics-20211226-1443.zip

I did a search but didnt get the answer as most threads are very specific troubleshooting scenarios. My basic question is does the SATA port determine the drive assignment location in unRAID, or is it something specific to the HDD like a serial or UID type of thing? The reason I ask is I have either coincidental drive failures on sdi, or there is some other hardware fault in play. It's probably been 3-4 drives over 7years. I've swapped the cables out more than once, and today I have another failure on sdi with a <1year old 6TB WD Red. I'd like to simply put that drive onto another SATA port or a port on my SAS card. Both options mean swapping that port with another existing data drive. Is this risky? Thank you.

Im not familiar with those terms, are they processes I should be following to obtain information? The error screen is a black screen that says "Boot Error". I'm thinking I need to just start all over again, assuming the data on my array is safe.

Hi All, I recently tried to update from the GUI, from 6.8.1 to 6.8.2. Since then, I cannot boot the server. I have connected it to a monitor and can see that immediately after my SAS>SATA controller detects drives OK, the Unraid boot goes immediately to "Boot Error". Nothing else to go on. I checked the USB in a PC, and followed a couple of threads, specifically: 1. Download old version and copy bzroot, bzconfig etc 2. Copy entire contents of previous folder on Flash drive to Root. Neither of these have worked. I don't want to say this publicly, but before anyone asks, my last backup of unRAID is on my last PC backup, which is on the array. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah Im just trying to replapce the ca-cert.crt bundle in /usr/share/curl . That seems to be the path set when using the command to verify the SSL connection to the site, and the cert is clearly expired. IN other words, Im winging it! Thank you for your replies too.

Thanks for this. Well yes I do connect to it via my browser pretty much daily, and especially now my automation is broken. It seems odd how it coincided directly to my backup/restore of app data. Currently I'm using a Chrome addon on my main PC to send torrents from HD-Torrents site to Transmission on Unraid. Same command as shown in screenshot below from my PC on the same network is successful. SO I think its Unraid server issue?

HI All, I have an issue with Jackett, I just did a cache disk swap and restored my appdata and most docker containers are working as before, however Jackett I cannot add my indexer (hd-torrents.org) I use Sonarr, Jackett, Transmission in my setup. When I add HDT and enter my username password then click OK I get an SSL failure as seen in the attached capture. I can see the certificate has expired butI find it confusing that this certificate error occurs, and where this failure is caused as it only seems to affect Jackett. I felt it might be my browser or something local to the PC I was using so tried other laptops and its the same error. So, I'm pretty confused and am hoping someone can help me. I think I need to somehow renew the certificates on my Unraid server. Thank you in advance. This is the log - https://pastebin.com/HpFjmmw5

Hi there, do you mean no one uses easy-rsa? I don't know if it comes as a container but it used to be a part of the openvpn install by default. If there is another way to achieve certificate based authentication via openvpn I'd more than happy to go with that? Cheers

Hi All, Can anyone please tell me how to get easy-rsa installed to suport my openvpn-as install? I have the vpn working fine with login credientials but want to move to certificate based authentication. Also for my understanding, are the certs in the WEB SERVER menu of openvpn specifically relating to the Web UI and not related to Server/Client certificates for VPN users? I need to be able to issue certs for VPN users on mobile devices. Cannot seem to get easy-rsa working. THanks Simon

Hi All, A terribly bad question I'm sure but Im trying to setup OpenVPN and wish to set it up as a CA. I've installed the container, and can access the admin page. I am following the OpenVPN setup guide here - https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#install - but am unable to locate the easy-rsa directory in my Unraid server. I assume as it is installed as a docker container the instructions on the setup guide are probably not 100% accuate but I cannot seem to find any easy-rsa directory and hence cannot proceed with generating certificates etc, Can anyone point me in the right directions please? The version installed is 2.0.20, so I *think* easy-rsa should be included. Thanks

Thanks dirtysanchez, Until the first set-inform command was issued the AP did not show in the Unifi controller. Once the command was run it appeared and I clicked Adopt. Unfortunately after about a minute (maybe longer, the log file shows the exact timing) it would simply fail and show as 'Disconnected' in the Unifi controller. The status of the AP obtained via ssh at that point was "Server Rejected". This is what I mean by 'failed outright', it never got beyond 'Adopting'. I do agree - in fact after running set-inform the first time it tells you in the terminal to run it again after adoption. The way I read that is running it a second time assumes successful adoption of the AP first. Maybe something that hasn't been documented clearly is that it needs to be run again at a specific time, such as when the AP changes from adopting (orange) to Provisioning (green), though mine simply went straight to disconnected (red) several times. In any case my keyboard mashing method did seem to hit it at the right moment. Please note I am not debating anything here just exploring the issue. Thanks for your input.

That sounds plausible though it doesn't explain why adoption fails outright in the first place? Until doing this adoption was never possible...I still cant figure out why the server rejected message was coming back. Now to do Unifi Video container.
