Folks
Its come to my attention that i'm running a fairly old O/S (6.9.2 dates to spring 2021).
Its time i upgraded.
Q1) can i migrate DIRECT from 6.9.2 to 6.12.6 ? Or do i need to take it in various steps ??
Q2) reading the 6.12.6 notes, it says theres a known issue with the RealTek NIC 8125.
My m/b hosts a RealTek 8111.
Am i to assume that i'm ok to proceed, or do i need to include myself in that known issue ??
cheers

Due to a slip-up by my supplier, my x2 new parity disks arrived on different days.
When the first disk arrived, i bunged into the server, and rebuilt parity. Done.
Now the second parity disk has arrived, and i have allocated it to its slot, and we are doing another parity sync.
Will UnRaid do some sort of background process now, that says "parity 1 - you handle this stuff, and parity 2 - you handle other stuff" ?????
-
Jonathan
Thx for that.
I've actually bought x2 new drives - was thinking i would move to double parity.
Do i bung in both drives at once, and follow ur guide ?
Or install parity 1 before attempting parity 2 ??

Folks, i think my (single) parity drive is goosed.
I have bought a new disk - its on its way.
Can someone point me to the procedure for replacing the parity drive.
I've been looking around - cant see anything.
thanks in advance

Tower - Sunday.docxTower - Sunday.docx
Need some advice.
This morning i physically removed an old (small 1.5TB) drive (disk2).
I have already got a copy of its contents (on new disk10), so i'm happy to pull it out.
I replaced the old disk2 with a brand new (6TB) drive.UnRaid prompted me to format it, so i did.
Then i clicked on 'mount'. That seemed ok.
I then allocated my new disk to the old slot (Disk 2)
I then clicked 'Start' to bring the array online.
The 'mount disks' process started.
Now i appear to be 4% through a parity sync/data rebuild.To be honest, i dont need a data rebuild.
All i wanted to end up with was a formatted & available 6TB disk.Can i just cancel the parity sync/data rebuild ????
If yes, do i need to undertake other steps ??
Diagnostics & screenshots attached.

Apandey, thx for your response.
As it happens, i awoke this morning & suddenly realised i had made a mistake.
Although my data was originally on disk2, i had also started using disk4 more recently.
In the rush last night of trying to find certain business data, i completely forgot.
Although i am embarrassed, i am also hugely relieved to have found my data.
Moderators - you can close/delete this thread as you wish.

Guys, i need help, please. And fast.
I seem to have lost a swathe of my data. And i'm in a panic.
Background is, i installed a new disk (disk 10) in the array last Sunday. All good.
By Monday morning it was online, so i copied the content of an old disk (disk 2) to the new disk 10.
Plan was...that if the migration was good, i would remove disk2.
On Monday i ran the following command :-
rsync -r /mnt/DISK2 /mnt/DISK10
All went well, except all the date/time stamps were out of alignment.
On Tuesday i ran the following command :-
rsync -a /mnt/DISK2 /mnt/DISK10
Now all the date/time stamps were aligned. Great.
But tonight (Thursday) i happened to go looking for some work files.
About 30% of my work data is missing.
Its not on disk2 and its not on disk10.
Surely these x2 exercises i have run, couldnt cause data loss ????
Can anyone suggest how i get eyes into what has happened

Anyone ?????????

Folks
Since Nov 2021 i am seeing loads of these lines in SYSLOG.
"Nov 11 15:43:30 Tower dhcpcd[1703]: eth0: part of a Router Advertisement expired".
Sometimes x1 per day. Sometimes multiple examples.
Q1) can someone give me a simple explanation of what RA is ??
Q2) do i leave these alone, or should i be taking action ??
Thanks in advance

Guys, i have never used user shares on my UnRaid system.
Since 2009 i have used a disk share model exclusively.
I like having an exact location for my music, video & data.
I’m not a power user.
I run Plex & a few utilities.
It works for me, and i’m happy.
Is this ‘mover - array devices not mounted’ thing related to user shares
-
Could i ask you to take a quick look at my Diagnostics file ?
Its about the "mover: array devices not mounted" lines in SYSLOG.

Folks, i keep seeing these same two lines in my SYSLOG.
Can someone tell me how i resolve them
Dec 10 02:13:20 Tower kernel: traps: Plex Media Scan[4781] general protection fault ip:1479cbff07a6 sp:1479c6cb5888 error:0 in ld-musl-x86_64.so.1[1479cbfe0000+53000]
Dec 10 03:40:01 Tower root: mover: array devices not mounted
(as far as i know, all my disks are mounted & working fine - flash, parity, cache, data disks)
-
I seem to have gotten my bluetooth keyboard & dongle working on UnRaid, finally.....
Hope this article helps you.

Folks, i installed a new drive in my array in April (disk4).
I thought all had gone well with the disk addition, until i saw a red X beside the drive when using the GUI this morning.
Says 'device is missing (Disabled), contents emulated'
I read a similar post on the forum by Barnito, from April 2020.
I followed some advice from that post - reboot & see if the drive goes back online.
Having rebooted, my new drive is showing up as 'unassigned' and can choose 'Mount'
That worries me :-
1) does it suggest that UnRaid thinks the drive is empty ?
2) might 'mounting' drive re-formatting ??
I DO NOT want to lose that drive. Its data, both personal & business.
Whats your advice ?
A) would i try to copy the data off the drive, since its currently being emulated ?
B) would i go ahead and mount the unassigned drive to my disk4 slot, in the hope it doesn't re-format ?
C) anything else ?

Looks like i have this resolved. I have upgraded my BIOS, and now am able to boot the server whilst my new disk is in place.
-
6 of the disks are straight into the motherboard.
Two expansion cards each host another 4 disks.
So theoretically i can host 14 disks.
You gave me an idea. If there is indeed some limit on 12 disks, then what if i temporarily disconnect one of my existing disks, and then plug in my new disk ??
But that didnt work either - it threw the same BIOS error.
So i unplugged my new disk, re-connected my other disk, and all is well.
I realise its gonna be my BIOS not UnRaid, but i wondered if any of you guys had seen this before 🙂
I'm gonna go do some Googling around my MB/BIOS (Asus Z170-K).

Folks, i have x10 data disks, x1 parity, x1 cache in my existing setup. Now i’m adding a new 6tb data disk (same as parity). When i add the physical disk (power & sata) then reboot, at the ‘detecting’ line i get a very long pause and the statement “BIOS does not find proper hardware configuration”. Boot stops there. But if i remove the sata cable from the new disk & reboot, all is fine.
Can anyone suggest why UnRaid cant handle my new disk ????

Folks, i've always wanted to be able to use a BT keyboard that i have (LogiTech K380) with my UnRaid Tower (v 6.8.3).
When i plug in a cheap BT dongle (branded Nexus) it never lights up.
So i did some research and found this article on Reddit :-
Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse : unRAID (reddit.com)
I downloaded & installed NerdPack (blueZ flavour) - all seems fine. If i enter "/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start" the command seems to run fine. I get returned to a command prompt. But when i then try to run "bluetoothctl" the command hangs, apparently.
Q1) i noticed when installing NerdPack it said it was dependent on Dynamix WebGui. I cant find anything called that specifically, so i downloaded Dynamix Sys Info, in case that was enough. Can anyone guide me ??
Q2) can anyone explain why "bluetoothctl" command hangs ?? I believe its meant to launch some interface.
thanks in advance

Johnnie, I don't use 'user shares'.
I have diagnosed that my Windows drive mappings aren't working because of this weird IP address thats getting allocated.
I have now configured UnRaid to use a manual IP allocated by me, and hey presto, my drives work again under Windows.
So my question now is.....why is UnRaid using 169.254.222.38 ?????

Attaching Diagnostics results.

Folks, i'm in a sweat here. My UnRaid NAS was running fine, up till Monday night. And by fine I mean, I could access drive mappings under Windows no problem. On Monday night I happened to take a look at my UnRaid GUI. It showed some worrying info :-
- it showed that Disk9 had some issue.
- As well as that, I had red messages telling me that an array health report had failed. Attached.
- it said that various updates were available.
I updated some apps (plex, splunk, motioneye, community apps).
I believe I also updated UnRaid itself. I'm now on 6.8.3
I think I was prompted to reboot, which I did. But after 5 mins, I couldn't load the GUI.
My router could see the NAS drive, but using an odd IP address. It wasn't using the normal 192.168.1.X but instead was using 169.254.222.X
I left the issue overnight, and tried again Tuesday. This time I could enter the hostname in a browser, and the GUI would load.
But if I enter the odd IP address in a browser, it fails.
From a Windows PC I can telnet into the Tower, so I know its alive.
I can also ping the Tower from a Windows DOS box.
But none of my Windows drive mappings work.
When I look at the GUI, it shows all my drives greyed out, except flash. Attached.
But I can navigate each disk using the GUI.
Q1) why are all my drives greyed out, under the GUI ? Presumably this is why my drive mappings don't work.
Q2) why is the NAS adopting an odd IP address ?
Q3) what is this failed health report about ?
Q4) any ideas whats wrong with Disk9 ?
Q5) if I attach my syslog, what info do I need to remove, to keep my details safe ?
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Like everyone else, I dread losing data.

Just went into the BIOS, and somehow.......it was set to boot from one of the hard disks.
So have reset to boot from the Cruzer and now all is well.
But why did it get changed in the first place
Wasn't me - i promise :-(

Given that UnRAID is down, i assume you are talking about a Windows function.
How do i run a repair

Sorry, got busy with job hunting, and forgot i had asked this.
I will have to upgrade. Some of my plugins now cant upgrade cause i'm on 6.9.2.
Will likely go for the big upgrade during Christmas holidays.
I'll let you know how it goes,
