It didn’t work. It only moved about 5%

I'm having an issue with the mover (again...). It had been working correctly for the past two years, but this year I added a second SSD to the cache ( the only things i changed). Everything worked fine for a while, but then one day Plex (Docker) stopped working. I haven’t been able to get it running again, and I suspect the problem is related to the cache—it’s constantly full, and I can’t manage to empty it. When I try to move the files manually, either it tells me immediately that a certain amount of GB has been moved (which was not accurate. it was everytime the same amount and nothing was emptied), or—as is the case now—it says right away that 0 bytes were moved successfully. I've tried changing the cache/array settings and even adding more memory, but nothing has worked so far. If you have any ideas, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!

Because i'am new to Unraid 🤣. I don't have much experience with Unraid/Unix systems, so it's not immediately clear to me. I don't recall why I didn't perform updates; it might be related to the server being offline for an long period. Yes, it seems that sdh was an old parity disk. The actual one was swapped 'recently' (about 6 months ago), but I don't remember intentionally creating a new config without the other disk, though it's highly possible.

Sorry, I misunderstood oh....If i mount the faulty disk ( ST2000DL003-9VT166_5YD83CHZ (sdg) and ST2000DL003-9VT166_5YD7ZS4H (sdh) ) i can see they have files inside and the same shares structures...so they were in the array....well i can only mount of them the other is grayed.cat-o-net-diagnostics-20240105-2011.zip. This is the log with the arrey on and the 2 not assigned.

i removed only one of them, but there seems to be no changes cat-o-net-diagnostics-20240105-1934.zip

I didn't do anything; I turned the server on and off 4 or 5 times to retrieve certain information from specific disks (and I stopped the parity process that was running). Since I knew that some disks were fragile, I didn't want to risk them failing during the reconstruction. I physically dismantled the server to retrieve the position of the disks, the SATA cable numbers, etc., but I took care not to mix up the cables and to reattach each cable to its corresponding disk. Unfortunately, there were no diagnostics before this; it's my first breakdown/problem. I'm thinking of trying to connect the disks directly to my computer to see what's on them and if it's possible to recover anything, unless you have a better idea? Thanks again.

I finally had time to work on the server again, and things have changed a bit. Two drives of the array are now set to 'unassigned,' and I don't understand what happened. I don't know what I should do now. The diag files is attached as asked before. cat-o-net-diagnostics-20240105-1255.zip

Yes i'am. It's the case and it will be the case after the changes. Now both parity drives are 4tb disks and the arrays disks are 4tb or under. I intend to change the parity disks to 8tb both (those are disk i already have) and to upgrade all arrays' disk to 4tv each. This is why i want to now of there is an other solution to change disk in the array other than to wait on the parity rebuild for each change. I need basically to swap half the disks...

The server is currently offline, i will send the diagnotics as soon as i reconnect everything ( i moved ).

Hello, I am new to Unraid and have little experience. I have an array with 8 disks of different sizes including 2 for parity and the server is currently off. 3 of the disks are showing signs of fatigue and I want to replace 6 disks in the array (including 1 for parity) to upgrade the capacity and get ride off some tired ones. I would like to know if there is a simpler way to modify the disks than to change the disks one by one and let the reconstruction take place. because I'm afraid that with the rebuild times and solicitation it will take a long time and increase the chances of one of the disks dying during the process. Thank you. V.S.
