Awesome, thank you for confirming, appreciate your input.

Thanks JorgeB, just did a bit of reading up on the CRC Error count, and you're on the money, I'll be swapping the motherboard out shortly so will swap out the cable to the drive also. In the past 8 weeks it's only increased by 2 so nothing major. I've also checked the other drives and the remainder have only a max of 2 values recorded. Perhaps I was a little quick to panic 😁

Although booting the array and checking the CRC count, it's increased by only 2 in the last 8 weeks, so will probably leave as is, but would be good to check my understanding on the procedure.

Hi all, I've got a 5 disk system with a parity disk that's slowly picking increasing UDMA CRC error count in SMART. The current disk config is: 3TB Parity 3TB Data 3TB Data 2TB Data 240GB Cache I have another 2TB disk lying around, to help with what I want to achieve.. which is to replace the current 3TB parity disk with one of the current 3TB data drives. Am I correct in thinking the steps below would be the process for achiving this swap? Add teh spare 2TB drive to the array and assign to data Stop the array Unassign the 3TB data drive that will become the parity disk Start the array - I'm assuming at this stage the parity drive will start to populate the remaining data drives with the data that was stored on the drive being unassgined? Once the data is sync'd and healthy run through the process of replacing the parity drive: Stop the array Unassign the current parity drive Assign the now unassigned 3TB old data drive to parity Start the array and let the parity rebuild I know ideally I should add a new drive of bigger capacity for the parity, however that's not an option at the moment and this is a secondary unraid device on the network. Thanks in advance

Just to confirm the 800GB+ backup worked without dropping the samba services, when the faulty DIMM was removed.

Currently running a memtest and have found one faulty DIMM. Will re-run the backup task with known good sticks and report back.

Hi guys, I've got a ~800GB copy going from a Windows machine to my Unraid server. Between 90mins and 2hrs in the samba shares all vanish and the file transfer fails. I've had the odd occurrence of the shares disappearing prior to this, however this file copy activity consistently causes the shares to go. I've tried restarting samba using /etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart and can see samba starting, but no shares come back without a reboot. Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I found a work around by using WinSCP to grab the files

Is there similar tuning that can be done to improve performance copying from unraid SMB to Windows? Trying to copy back some photos (only 1.4GB/930 files) and getting big bouts of no activity, it's taking ~25mins to copy the files.
