I'm sorry that I keep coming on here with these kinds of questions but I got dropped into a cluster-F of a situation. Previous IT has 6TB of pirated movies on the corporate network. All sitting on the Unraid server he apparently used as a playground. I was going to share the folder and delete in Windows. Is there a better way to do this?

Excellent! I didn't realize the USB would be on the mobo. I should have thought of that. I'm going to go take a look and report back. EDIT: I have the thumb drive and I'm back in the server. Thanks so much!

My situation keeps getting worse. I inherited a poorly run IT department and the root password stopped working after I had to fire the admin of said department. He has unraid setup on a server with a boot drive. Do I still need a USB key to recover? Do I need the key he would have created at the start? If I can't gain access to the key, then what are my options to restore without dataloss?

Not a problem at all. I appreciate the help and confirming that the errors were most likely benign in nature.

I guess I'm having a big confused over here. I ran the extended test before I made this post. I ran it again for good measure and the only thing I see is this and it was included in my first post: SMART Extended Self-test Log Version: 1 (1 sectors) Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 34038 - # 2 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 33986 - SMART Selective self-test log data structure revision number 1 SPAN MIN_LBA MAX_LBA CURRENT_TEST_STATUS 1 0 0 Not_testing 2 0 0 Not_testing 3 0 0 Not_testing 4 0 0 Not_testing 5 0 0 Not_testing Selective self-test flags (0x0): After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.

Okay, the extended test reported no errors. Does this test also generate a log? I've got a good backup of the data. That's something the previous tech didn't have so I was about to have a heart attack.

Sorry, I did. I didn't realize I posted the wrong log. Forgive my ignorance where do the extended scans logs save?

I noticed many of the errors were at power-on for the device. It's possible I need to replace cables and that's all it is? Nothing else jumps out at me. I've attached the report. smart-20221024-1246.zip

I noticed that. The read errors were dated well before-hand so I I thought it possible that they may not be related? Anyway, I've since removed the plugin. I feel the need to say I've inherited this setup after accepting a new position. It's not long for this world but I do need it to survive during the transition.

Disk1 has had 64 read errors. There are many instances of this example: "kernel: md: disk1 read error, sector=3915746784" SMART looks good from what I can tell. diagnostics-20221023-1255.zip
