Thanks. I decided to play it a little safer and got the last legacy version still listed/available for download, which was 6.11.5, so 2 versions up. It seems to be working correctly for now. I guess I need to look into proper upgrade to a current version. Any tips for one this old? Also, what is the current trend/recommendation regarding what to use in terms of disks and sizes etc? I built this a long time ago, and it just has "normal" mechanical disks of 3TB each (a total of 15TB usable), which I guess is kinda obsolete by now...

So finally getting to this, but ran into a small pause... The "Issue" is that my server had been running for a looong time without issues, and I never updated. It's version was 6.9.1, and this is not an option with the creator.. Any workaround to getting that same version, or if not any version on the tool that should be "safe" to install anyway? (considering my later config copy to it).

Thanks! This might be a dumb question but I don't remember usingany tool way back then, is it possible it wasn't a thing at the time? Anything to be wary of regarding the version I have on it now vs. the tool? I also had a few dockers setup/configured. Any particular folder to also move over once confirmed the drive works and boots? (if it does).

Hi folks, I had my server up and running for several years, but I have a problem now where it's not booting... It first happened a few days ago, and when it did I unplugged the USB drive, plugged it to a different port and it did boot up, but now it's happening again... I just plugged the drive into my PC and it is "working", and I backed up all files (again) just in case. Is this something I can troubleshoot or is it likely the drive? Should I try formatting it and re-copying the files again (don't remember after so long if there was something else that needed to be done to "prepare" the drive), and lastly should I need to replace the drive, is it still the case these are tied to the drive ID etc, and if so what do I need to do so that my license will still be valid? (I have an old "Pro Key"). Thanks for your help.

Hi All, New to this, and looking to (finally) replace the OpenVPN docker I had running for quite a while, just in case... I am looking at the guide, and I see on one hand it says: "You must be running Unraid 6.8-6.9 with the Dynamix WireGuard plugin from Community Apps or Unraid 6.10+ (which has the plugin built in)." But then when it starts with the instructions for the UnRAID side, it says: "On Unraid 6.8, go to Settings -> VPN Manager" What about on other versions??

I am running an old Version: 6.9.1 Only extras are Duckdns, Plex, binhex-minidlna, and OpenVPN (yes, I realize this last one is now obsolete and I should look for an alternate option). Any considerations for the upgrade, or can I/should I just jump to 6.12.8 ?

Thanks, will get it installed ASAP. Will also have to remember the correct procedure, not just for replacing the disk per-se but also running pre-clear?

Ok, so I used DiskCheckup, Did a short test, then extended test. In theory these are the results: After Short Test: Extended Test Completed: After Extended test: Would you say it's reasonably safe to use this one to replace the parity disk? Thanks.

Thanks, all useful to know, and will keep all of this in mind! However, though you confirm that "any app that can start the test and view the results will be fine", last main issue is I don't know any app 🤣. Care to recomend a couple or, at least one? (Windows) Thanks.

Are there any notes anywhere regarding considerations for the upgrade depending on your current version?

Thanks, I'll get right on testing the 2 drives I have to see if one could replace it. On the PC I could use, I have crystal info installed. Would that one be good for the test, or do you recommend something else? As per what I read, one just triggers the extended smart test which is done on/by the drive itself, but you see it through an app. Trying to find the easiest way to run and view this.

Thanks, so is there a way to test the parity disk to make sure what I see is accurate and I should just replace it, or what is shown tjere is conclusive and I shouldn't waste time on that and just replace it? I have 2 other 3TB disks I could use, but would want to check them to sre they're good. What's the best way to do this? I have another PC I can easily hook them up to for the testing.

Thanks folks, to be honest, this is a server in my home country I kind of have neglected but want to get it back in line now. I don't know much on how to read S.M.A.R.T. fields and their values and what they mean, something I need to read on for sure. Would any of the other disks need replacing as per stats?: Disk 1: Disk 2: Disk 3: Disk 4: Disk 5: I built this many years ago now, as you can also see from what I guess is not too good a choice for disk size now? Any other recommendations besides current health? Thanks for all your help!

Hello all, I have been away for a while travelling and come back to see one the parity disks is in disabled state. Can anyone help me out to see if this may be due to normal glitches (power cuts out a lot here...) or if the disk does indeed look like it is or will be a goner soon and I should replace it asap? Appreciate any help.

Hi folks, Using linuxserver PLEX docker and I am having a similar issue. Have a server back home (moved abroad) and had not used it for a while. Today I go login and seems I forgot my password or whatever, so I reset it. After that I logged in, and my shares were visible but all with exclamation points and saying "not authorized"/"you don't have permission" etc. Read somewhere I needed to update the docker so I did. Once I did that, I now login to my server, and my shares are gone, don't see server options, etc. I tried doing the claim process and adding the variable, but the result is the same and when I check the log I see: **** Server already claimed **** Docker is used for versioning skip update check [custom-init] No custom files found, skipping... Starting Plex Media Server. . . (you can ignore the libusb_init error) [ls.io-init] done. Appreciate any help on how I get this back to working as a server and seeing my shares.
