I am running the latest 6.12.3 Unraid version. After performing a Parity check that took 2 days to complete it reports it fixed 5 errors. However, in the Array Devices table located in the MAIN tab there is an ERRORS column that shows my DISK 3 has 513 errors. I am assuming the Parity Check was not able to fix these 513 errors. Therefore, I am wondering if a plugin app exists that will help identify exactly which files are causing these errors. Or at the very least tell me if the errors are due to a bad sector on the hard drive. Does anybody in the community know if such an UnRaid plugin app exists? Any info welcome.

I just installed Dynamix File Manager. Does anybody know where I could download the User Guide PDF file? The official support link shows the PDF as unavailable. If the PDF is not available can somebody in the community please answer my Dynamix File Manager questions below: Why doesn't this app launch from the Plugins tab? I click on the Dynamix File Manager icon located in the Plugins tab and no Dynamix File Manager app opens up? I found a File Manager icon located between the Terminal icon and Feedback icon in the up right hand corner of the browser but I am not 100% certain if this is the official Dynamix File Manager icon to launch the app? And I don't know if this File Manager icon existed before I installed the Dynamix File Manager plugin? Can somebody confirm if the file manager icon I am referring to is in actuality the official Dynamix File Manager app start icon? Using the File Manager icon I found I am able to preview JPG files but not able to preview MKV video files. Does anybody know if Dynamix File Manager plugin app can be expanded to support additional file formats? Also what files formats does Dynamix File Manager plugin support out of the box? Any info welcome. THank you for your time.

Thank you for your posts. JorgeB, if the typical speed is 50/60MB/sec then I have to say my UnRaid file transfer speed is too slow and I need to perform some kind of reconfiguration work to my UnRaid box. My hard drives are 14TB Seagates EXOS X14 Enterprise drives. I looked at the data sheet online and it makes no mention of SMR. So I can't say for sure if they are SMR or not. As for the "turbo write enabled" setting I will have to look into that because it is the first time I hear about it. Trurl, to answer your question I have Unassigned Devices Plus installed. And I use this plugin app to mount my data transfer drive which I insert into my IcyDock drive bay rack. I'm new with Unassigned Devices, but am I missing something that Unassigned Devices can do that goes beyond how I am using it? How can it eliminate the need to use a Linux Mint VM? I ask because I use my Linux Mint VM to perform the file transfer itself. In my Linux Mine VM I could select the files I want to transfer to my UnRaid Array, Or I can rename or delete files from my UnRaid Array. Trurl, what do you use to perform such file management operations? In short, I hope you can elaborate why you are not clear a VM is needed. If there is a better way, please let me know especially if it can bump up my file transfer speed. I can say my Linux Mint VM makes my UnRaid box more user friendly by providing a great GUI. What I do not understand is why my Linux Mint treats a data transfer hard drive that is local inside the same UnRaid box as though it is on a network that requires a Samba connection to transfer files. Like I said, I am new with UnRaid. I would think the connection between my UnRaid array and Icydock bay rack drive should be a direct SATA connection that is managed by my Linux Mint VM without using a Samba connection. I hope somebody can clarify my confusion.

I am running the latest version of UnRaid on a SuperMicro motherboard. All the hard drives in my UnRaid array are connected to onboard SATA ports. Including an IcyDock 3.5" drive bay rack I use to a mount a data drive from my other computer once it gets close to full capacity. I also have installed a Linux Mint vm to facilitate file transfers from my drive bay rack to my UnRaid Array. I hope somebody in this forum can clarify the following. Is a 23.2 MB/sec file transfer rate normal? I ask because to transfer 5 TB of data from the drive in my bay rack to my UnRaid Array is taking close to 60 hours. Additionally, the file transfer is getting done via a SMB connection. This makes no sense to me. Why is UnRaid using a Samba connection to perform this file transfer that is local on the same machine? Does UnRaid have an option where I could change the Samba protocol with another protocol that offers higher file transfer bandwidth? Lastly, my UnRaid Array has two parity drives and I realize these parity drives slow down the data writing process involved in file transfers. But I would really like to know if a 23.2 MB/sec file transfer speed should be considered as normal or am I correct to suspect my file transfer speed is way too slow? Any advice welcome.
