This totally seemed to have fixed it for me as well. Over 300GB in a few hours, where earlier I would barely see a few GB before it seemingly crapped out. Thanks for the tip!

Edit: Never mind, I guess I wasn't logged in the first time I tried to download the script. It worked now. Thanks! -Christian

I thought this might be the case, but I didn't see this behavior on the 8TB drive I added for conversion of a different drive and yet another 2TB drive used for conversion. Oh well, I'll just ignore. Thanks for the quick reply! -Christian

I want to convert another drive in my server to XFS, but the WD 3TB drive I added and formatted with XFS, immediately shows 3GB used, with no files on there yet. Has anyone seen that and knows where those 3GB come from? I'm stumped… Cheers! -Christian

Yes, thanks, I had seen that thread. I have now updated the board's firmware, as well as the controller card firmware (and while I was at it, the IPMI firmware of the mainboard). I will now see whether it's more stable for me or not. I will resume the XFS conversion I started and see what happens. Thanks again for all the help! 👍 -Christian

Oh it's definitely not a speed demon 🙂. I chose the board for it's efficiency, being on 24/7 and all and really only being a file server. Fix Common Problems also pointed out that there may be some issues with my Marvell-based Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 card. I checked, and there is newer firmware for both my board and the controller card, which could also contribute to the issues I have seen since replacing drives. Guess I'll have to pull the server and hook up a monitor and keyboard to it… Thanks for all the pointers! -Christian

Yes, disk #9 is the one I added to convert reiserfs to xfs. Is there an issue with having a 9th data disk? I actually added it as disk #10, so I know that's the one I added for conversion of the other drives. And yes, some drives are rather full, which is why I wanted to upgrade some of the smaller drives with bigger ones.

Well, I installed Community Applications, then Fix Common Problems, but it stays on "Scanning" even after several minutes… doesn't sound like that's normal? But going back to the previous page and back in allowed me now to enable the Troubleshooting mode. Now it's wait and see! -Christian

OK, here the diagnostics file. Thanks for the quick reply! -Christian zaphod-diagnostics-20180831-1504.zip

Hi all, My server regularly becomes totally unresponsive, cannot even ssh into it, and I'm wondering whether it has to do with the new drives I have added. Before, my largest drive was 4TB, now I have replaced the parity drive and a data drive with 8TB drives. But the process of adding these drives (https://eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0S04012/) was problematic, despite running a pre-clear on them. Problematic as in the server just being unresponsive and having to hard reboot, even though it wasn't doing anything else. A little bit of background, the hardware has been in use since the 4.x days, and running 5.x for the longest time. Earlier this year I did the upgrade to 6.x, and it went without a problem (no docker images, very few plugins). Following the upgrade, I had also started to convert some drives to XFS by following the instructions found at https://wiki.unraid.net/File_System_Conversion. I have seen a snag there as well, with the destination drive taking up 3gigs more than the original drive, 157GB instead of 154GB).

Looking at the logs directory of the flash drive, I have no file there since March of this year. Thanks for any pointers, -Christian

You're missing the part that there is currently nothing to pricematch. If there is, please let me and everyone else know. -Christian

I don't see any 3TB drives for $89 anywhere anymore. Please let me know where I can still get one. -Christian

Amazon has it for the same price, and since I had some credits there, that's where I ordered mine -Christian

Thanks for posting that, I was looking for a drive like this . Picked it up yesterday (was just the drive, no box or anything). -Christian

I'd also be happy to exchange my newer one (original case and all) versus the older one with the rubber grommets etc. Complete only, of course. -Christian
