Over the weekend my flash drive failed. Everything has been running fine for years so I am a little rusty on the process. I plugged the old flash drive into my mac and can see most the files. I ran first aid on the drive and it passed but still wont boot. I got a new flash drive and installed the latest release on it. The machine is now booting fine but I am nervous to start the array as it says that the parity drive will be erased. I believe that I have backups stored on the array but don't want to accidentally erase them by starting it. I also have a backup on Unraid connect that I can restore, Do I just copy those files to the usb or do I need to use the USB creator software to write the zip file to the new usb drive? I am really just looking for any guidance or to be pointed to a good to tutorial on the best way to get back up and running without any data loss. -Thanks

i know this is a long shot but I am hoping that someone can walk me through getting the below project running. It is a Docker container that polls my electric meter and publishes the data to MQTT. I am familiar with using Dockers, just not building them. I am on the latest version of Unraid and have Portainer-CE installed. https://github.com/zaknye/xcel_itron2mqtt

I did get a warning about the image being full. I still need to track down what that was, maybe plex.

That seems to have fixed it. Reinstalling dockers now. What causes this and is there a way to prevent it?

Diagnostics attached, thanks for the quick reply. homeserver-diagnostics-20211215-0927.zip

I noticed that docker wasn't running on my unraid server. Checked the logs and noticed a number of errors on startup. I am hoping that someone can help me trouble shoot this. Attached are the logs. I am particularly interested in this error. Dec 14 16:46:03 HomeServer kernel: loop: Write error at byte offset 38899712, length 4096. Dec 14 16:46:03 HomeServer kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop2, sector 75968 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x1800 phys_seg 4 prio class 0 Dec 14 16:46:03 HomeServer kernel: BTRFS error (device loop2): bdev /dev/loop2 errs: wr 1, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0 This unraid 6.9.2 on an older i7 processor with 4 drives in an array and a SSD cache drive. homeserver-syslog-20211215-1610.zip

Currently looking at the WD 8TB external drives to shuck. One for parity and one for the Array. Does anyone see any issues with these? Also, can I do the preclear while they are still in the external cases? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-8tb-external-usb-3-0-hard-drive-black/5792401.p?skuId=5792401

Yes, sorry about that. It is the remote-ssh extension. It allows me to open file on a remote machine over ssh.

I am new to development but have this up and running. I am trying to access files on a raspberry pi. With vs code there is a plugin that does this over ssh and works great. How can I get the same functionality with this code-server docker?

Exactly what I needed, thanks.

My server is back up with a new cache drive but I’m wondering what the best way to make sure I don’t lose my dockers and vms again. Should I move appdata to the pool? Do some sort of backup of appdata? If I add a second cache drive do they mirror each other?

I needed to get the server back up so I replaced the cache drive. I'll look into getting the data off the old drive from the above link. Any additional help appreciated.

I tried new cables and got the errors that I screenshot, the attached log and the same "unmountable" error that I had before. I am going to lose everything on the cache drive? I've got time tomorrow to replace it but I would rather not lose everything that was on it. homeserver-diagnostics-20190326-1319.zip

I noticed some VMs and Dockers weren't working so I logged into the server and the cache drive doesn't have a file system and cant be mounted. Attached is the diagnostic file, I'll look into getting a SMART report for that drive also. Mods: I posted a very similar thread the other day without diagnostics, please delete that. homeserver-diagnostics-20190321-1917.zip

I noticed that my docker wasn't and realized that my cache drive now says it has no file system and is unmountable. All Shares, Dockers and VMs are no longer found.

Did you get this working?

The command line did it, thanks for the help Squid.

Let me apologize first if this turns out to be a docker issue and should not be in the general topics area but I could not find the Grafana Docker. I am trying to copy a new plugin to the plugins folder that is located at appdata\grafana\plugins and am having trouble due to permissions.I tried to change the permissions to read/write using the dolphin plugin but for some reason they were grayed out and I could not change them. What is the best way to go about doing this?

I rebooted my server and now the Docker webpage is blank and all the dockers are unreachable. I have attached the system log. syslog.txt

The template wont let me select a different BIOS...

I am trying to install a Debian VM using the debian-8.7.1-i386-netinst iso. I used the debain template and selected the iso but when I start the machine it goes to the shell but the install does not start. thanks for the help.

I have a subscription to splashtop so I decided to use that.

Is there a setting to encrypt the VNC connection to VMs? I had a new, updated, windows 10 vm running and exposed to the internet and found a bitcoin mining program installed. I am going to delete that machine but would like to be able to access a VM securely from work and they won't let me vpn into my home network.

I circled back around to untelegraf and the log is full of errors. untelegraf doccker Log 5.11.17.txt
