Thanks @Kilrah

OK, the second cycle has completed and shows this, even though it says success do these results indicate that this disk is failing too?

I have a failed 6Tb parity disk in my array and have bought a replacement disk with about 3300 hours on it. So, I thought I would run a couple of preclear cycles to make sure its OK before putting it in the array. During the first cycle I got an email saying; Warning [UNRAID] - reallocated sector ct is 1 It is now running its second cycle and I have received an email saying; Warning [UNRAID] - reallocated sector ct is 8 When I preview the results I see this; Should I worry about these warning messages? Are they indicative that my 'new' disk is failing and also, given that Any advice appreciated as my array has been unprotected for a couple of weeks now and I am concerned in case I have another disk fail. Thanks

Thanks - its been running for 2 hours and reached 20% - so will let it carry on over night and check tomorrow.

Hi All I have just had a flurry of error messages from my production server over a 30 minute period saying... I have attached the diagnostics too - but can someone confirm that the parity disk needs replacing? Thanks phoenix-diagnostics-20240401-2122.zip

I'll leave it open just in case as first move shows over 2 hrs to go But, will check later for comments - thanks

If I close PC down will Dynamix File Manager plugin continue moving - or do I need to leave PC on and browser open?

perfect - looks like its working this way Thanks

OK, installed Dynamix File Manager plugin and have set this share to exclude all other disks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and include disk 6... but in Dynamix File Manager there is only an option to move to target and then lists shares, not disks... I selected the same share hoping it would see that this is now set to disk 6 only and move the files... but it made no changes. Am I missing something... otherwise I will have to manually move the files in MC?

Will do, thanks - otherwise it would have been Midnight Commander

There used to be a good app for manually moving shares on disks - I searched "move" but couldnt see it, can anyone remind me what its called?

Thanks

Hi All I have an array where one share is accessed remotely constantly... this share is spread across several disks keeping the whole array spun up all the time. So, I have added a new disk, just to hold this share - so only this one disk will be permanently spinning. I plan to exclude this disk on all other shares and on the share which I want on here, I will allow this disk and exclude all the others on the array. My question is... if I do this, will mover relocate all the data in this share to the single disk from the rest of the array - or do I need to make the allows/excludes and then manually move the data? Thanks

Hi guys I had 2 UnRAID servers fail simultaneously last night... and was on UnRAID Connect to download flash backups, etc. Today I have them both running again, thanks to recent flash backups and licence keys on UnRAID Connect. However today I only see 1 of my servers in my dashboard. Last night there were 3... my home machine, one in a datacentre and one decommissioned machine. On both active machines they show as connected... but when I use the "Go to Connect" link from either machined dashboard, I see the same "home" machine only! Is there a problem, or do I need to do something?

OK, a quick update... I downloaded the last Flash backup from UnRAID Connect (10th Jan), used the install tool to restore this to the original USB key and its all back up and running again. Obviously I am mindful that the USB key failed once, so will monitor things and see how it goes... BUT this highlights the importance of a recent flash backup if you want a chance of a quick fix when things go wrong

Thanks @Frank1940 will have a look today - as I have transferred the licence a few weeks ago to the key which has now dies, I will have to get in touch with support to manually transfer the licence. I am going to try formatting the dead key in a Windows machine and restore the USB key backup to see if I can get it working again and then transfer it urgently to a new key.

OK, I managed to SSH to the /boot/config folder and imported the Pro.key.... then rebooted and "Replaced" the key... so, in case anyone else has this issue you can use something like WinSCP to access it Thanks all

Is it possible to mount the flash drive in unassigned devices and if so can you access it without the array started?

I dont think I do... sadly my home UnRAID machine is down as the USB key died and I cant get that working again and if I have a backup it would be on the home machine I uploaded the Pro.key file on one of my VPS which hosts a webserver... in the Tools > Registration GUI there is an option to Install Key and it asks for the key file URL... but when I put the URL of the webserver where the keyfile is hosted it still fails

As I cant start the array, how can I access the Flash drive to put the pro.key file in /config folder as the server is 50 miles away?

Thanks @itimpi

Hi All I replaced my 10+yr old USB key as I didnt want it to fail... then 6 weeks later the new key is dead - when I plug it into a PC it says its corrupt and cant be repaired. So, in connect I can see that there was a backup of the USB kay made in January, but there doesnt seem to be a "restore to new key" option anywhwere, also as I replaced the key a few weeks ago I believe I need support to allow the transfer. Can anyone assist as at the moment both my UnRAID servers have failed catastrophically and I am struggling to get either back online Thanks

@JorgeB I'm hoping you can help. I have only just got round to transferring my licence from the decommissioned server to my new one.... I downloaded the Pro.key file from the decommissioned server, but cant find any "import" facility on the new server. Unfortunately the trial has expired and gone beyond the 15 day extension entitlement period... so, it now wont start. Can you tell me where I need to place the Pro.key file in order to blacklist the old key? Thanks

Good advice... and I do the same. The server I want to add this to has 6 x 6Tb Purple disks and has been running for 2 months now... one observation from the DiskSpeed screen above... I noticed on the server with 6 x 6Tb disks the speed trace of all the disks is identical... which is reassuring... however the screen shot above is from a server at home which has 4 identical 4Tb RED disks plus a few unassigned devices, such as the 6Tb disk I am testing. However on the trace above, the 3 x 4Tb RED disks in the array have identical traces, BUT the exact same 4Tb RED disk which is assigned parity disk is the blue line immediately below the trace for the 3 array disks. Is it normal for the parity drive to DiskSpeed slower, or should I be concerned about imminent failure? I've never used the DiskSpeed docker until your recommendation above... so am not sure what to expect. Thanks

So, preclear has finished - do you think this is enough to prove that this dosk is OK to add into my array? I've pasted the results below and as far as I can tell it all looks good and I think the problem the last owner suffered was because of a cable/controller problem rather than a disk problem... The top line (sdh) relates to the 6Tb drive
