Thanks all appreciate the help.

Fair enough. Thanks both. It was nice to have a here's the list of stuff we know works for sure. What thoughts on these M.2 to SATA adapters that some folks seem to be using? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T3RMFFT?linkCode=sl2&tag=buylocal0e8-20&creativeASIN=B07T3RMFFT&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2BS6J9W0XMNFQ&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_d_asin&th=1 Modern MB seem to be rather short on SATA ports and heavy on M.2 ports. Thanks

Hi folks, It's been awhile since I have upgraded my server. Planning to do so now. Trying to pick a good MB and CPU combo - so I do not have to upgrade again for another 10 years or so. We used to have this back in the day: https://wiki.unraid.net/Hardware_Compatibility#Motherboard This doesnt seem to be updated - is there a new location or another source for this information? Thank you.

Got it - the SMART report. Will do. Replaced the cables from the LSI card and the drive seems to be rebuilding fine.

Hi guys - can you tell me more on how you figured out the drives were ok?

Thank you both - so I can learn from this - how did you both rule out the HD as the failure point? What log file did you look at and what did you look for?

Is this power supply good? https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12III-SSR-650GB3-Control-Warranty/dp/B07MWHRG99/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=seasonic+power+supply&qid=1620653164&s=electronics&sr=1-2 I have 15drives + 2x SSD

Are these good? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JFQ2H9R/?tag=tonytrip551-20

Thank you both. Any particular brand of Sata cables you recommend? Any way to test the power supply?

Sorry - find attached the full diagnostics. Do you mean the power supply is failing? The server has not been moved - so not sure how anything would come loose. The two drives are in two different drive cages.

Hi folks, I had one drive fail (disk4) - while I was waiting for a replacement drive to ship from Amazon I started copying the content to some empty space I had (disk1) - unraid suddenly reports disk1 has failed also. I am running a two parity drive setup. Seems unusual to have 2 drives fail could you please look at the attached log and help me unerstand what is going on. Thank you in advance. Log file attached.

One last question on the OCD front notice in the image attached how Disk 3 is missing - its cos I made what used to be Disk 3 to be Parity 2. Is there an easy fix for this or - leave well enough alone?

These are all on my cache drives which are fully redundant. What can I read that would explain the purpose of each directory.

You are 100% right - it is OCD guilty as charged. Want to confirm everyone who uses Dockers / VMs have them - and this is not some weird thing I managed to do to my server. And yes - my OCD does not trump my sanity - I don't want to have a super special setup that no one can help me with so I will not do that. Thank you for the advice.

We may need to file this under Noob stupid questions without enough info. Apologize since I am technically not a noob to UNRAID but I am a bit green with containers and linux in general. I have the following folders/shares under /mnt/user/ /docker - docker.img /domains /VM - - vdisk2.img /appdata - This seems to be where all my docker data is /vdisks - *.img files - think these are my virtual machines /system / libvert - libvert.img I didn't create them. Is there a way to tidy these up? Say move /docker /vdisks /domains under /appdata? without breaking my well running system? Thank you,

One last question - I read somewhere that pre-clear is no longer necessary cos UNRAID does this automatically? Is this true?

Thank you - appreciate the advice. Agree - slow n safe. Also never noticed that manual link! Whoa! Thank you. Have a great day.

Hi, I have 2x Parity drives. I want to replace 2 existing Data drives with 2 New drives. Question: Can I swap both out Data Drives and do one rebuild or should I stick to the tried and tested one drive at a time? A link to the latest best way to swap guide would also be appreciated very much. Thank you in advance.

Wow that simple? thank you!

Situation - ALL Is well. Some drives are getting a bit tight. Solution - time to switch from 3TB drives to 8TB drives. I have 2 Parity drives - and I really like having 2 Parity drives. Is there away to replace both the old 3Tb Parity drives with new 8Tb parity drives and build parity once? Thank you.

Got it - will do - thank you.

yeah sorry about that - when I tried to get the diags before reboot - it just hung there - didnt get the file. You think its ok to reactivate the drive? and if yes - how do I do that? sorry noob question. UNRAID gives so few issues that I forget in b/w issues

Hi folks - getting an error on disk 4 - could I ask for your help in: 1. determining if this is really a failure? 2. could you show me how you figure that out from the logs? Thanks in advance.

Hey! when did I become an Advanced Member? I have been using unraid for like 20 years - wow - that's just crazy. Remember my first array was I think a bunch of 100Gb drives.

You are right I was trying to move b/w usershares. That's cos I read its bad to move between disks outside of the unraid array. Why is it bad to move from one disk to another and not use the Usershares?
