As simple as that! Thanks 🙂

Thanks for your quick reply! No, the new disk will join the data disks, and this pool (Plex_Transcode) must be deleted.

Hello, I had a 2nd pool made up of an SSD disk intended for Plex transcode. This disk had SMART errors and I would like to remove it from the configuration and replace it with a DATA disk. The new DATA disk is being pre-cleared. I stopped the array, assigned the “Plex_Transcode” disk as no-device and then physically disconnected this disk. It now appears as “Not Installed”. I have a basic license and I'm afraid that the new data disk can't be added as long as the “Plex_Transcode” disk is still displayed as “Not Installed”. What's the best way to do this? Do I need to go to Tools -> “New config” and re-arrange my drives? Thanks for your help

Everything looks good now. Thanks again for your help

Thanks to everyone. Parity is in progress

attached a new diag file fortress-diagnostics-20240810-1033.zip

After a full power cycle and verifying all connectivity, I have acces to SMART log and a full SMART test is successfull but the disk is still in error state. How can I recover this disk in a proper state?

Thank you ! I will try

Dumb question : What do you mean by "Full Power Cycle"? Does the GUI Shutdown button perform a Full Power Cycle? If I need to change the SATA cables, I'm planning to shut down the server anyway.

Ok, thanks itimpi. I will do that tonight

Hello I woke up this morning with an email from the unraid tower : Event: Unraid Parity disk error Subject: Alert [FORTRESS] - Parity disk in error state (disk dsbl) Description: WDC_WD60EFAX-68JH4N1_WD-WX42D51N5925 (sdg) Importance: alert Parity disk - WDC_WD60EFAX-68JH4N1_WD-WX42D51N5925 (sdg) (errors 2048) The SMART report of this disk is light : smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-linux-6.1.79-Unraid] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-23, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org Smartctl open device: /dev/sdg failed: No such device And I can not show the SMART error log as there is nothing to show: I can't start a SMART extended self-test. I haven't tested the sata connections yet, but I'll do that tonight. If you have any tips, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for your answer Where does the original archive come from? Does appdatabackup generate the “xxx-flash-backup-xxx.tar” file and then copy it, or does it take it from somewhere? I attached the debug log in my previous post

Hello, I use Appdata.backup to schedule my backups, especially the one of the USB flash drive. All the backups go well except when I have to copy the backup from the flash drive to the destination. It worked a while ago and I can't explain why it doesn't work anymore. The archive is corrupted at the destination, which is a cloud share mounted using rClone. Appdata.backup manages to copy a large 10Gb Plex archive to the destination.
