Web interface is down again for me. Is this a side effect of simplemenu or is this a core problem? Anyone not running simple menu notice this problem on the 5 RC?

So quick question why can't you restart the web service?

I installed the power down plugin script so I thought it was just Powerdown -r

Syslog attached. My powerdown -r command didn't work last night before I went to bed so I had to give it the three finger salute on console to reboot it. Everything seems ok now. syslog-2012-07-27.txt

This did not work for me. I eventually lost unmenu too. I ended up rebooting. Other people seem to have the same issue in 5 particularly with the segmentation fault when attempting to tester emhttp

Can someone point me to a location to restart the web services? I can reach unmenu via the web but not the standard web interface. Just seemed to drop dead for some reason. I am running simple features if that make a difference. Thanks, Neil

AHhh good tip - might be worth putting that in the wiki where I found the poor directions. I think I found the right drive and I am currently rebuilding parity. Going to be a long butt pucker Thanks, Neil

GULP! Too bad I didn't leave it up on another screen. I do have my email reports but boy oh boy I feel like I am playing with fire! :'(

I don't have anything enabled on wake-on-lan and it is worth noting that prior to 5.0 RC 5 - when I was running 4.7 shutdown did work properly. Neil

Guys I am following these directions: On the 5.X series of unRAID Stop the array by pressing "Stop" on the management interface. Un-assign the drive you wish to remove. On the Utils tab you'll see a New Config option. Invoking it will set a new disk configuration. A side effect will be the immediate invalidation of any prior parity calculation. When the Apply button is clicked, old parity data will be immediately discarded. When you next start the array, the process of parity calculation on the remaining assigned and working drives will begin. At this point, your array will not be again protected from a disk failure until the system can complete the process of generating new parity information. However when I go back to the main page - all of the drives are unassigned. I can't just start the array at this point. What should I do to get things back up and running. I was about to re-assign the disks but the question then becomes: do I put disk number 3 in the disk 1 slot and knock all of the drives down the two notches I am replacing of the drives? In other words I am trying to dump disk 1 and 2 - I moved all the data so I believe putting them all down a slot is a-ok since parity is going to be rebuilt anyway. Thanks, Neil

I use cache drive but when copying directly from one drive to another cache isn't used. My parity drive is new and 7200 rpm so I have higher hopes for performance. Still how do I no longer utilize the old drIves?

I am using MC and moving from Disk to Disk - not using the shares. I think it is very slow. I have copied like 1 TB of data on each drive and it has been a little less than 24 hours. I Would imagine speeds should be much greater. MC says 15 MB/s I believe... Any thoughts on these speeds? Question number 2. How do I make sure that these drives aren't used in the array when I write to the shares? I would think with the way I have it configured the data would go there first? Thanks! Neil

Here is the question that I don't understand: if I moved data from one drive to another how does parity know what is going on? I wasn't sure if that is how files are to be moved... Thanks, Neil

Hey guys I need to clear up some space on my unraid servers now that I added some 3tb drives. Is there an official way of moving data from a smaller drive to a new one without screwing everything up and not rebuilding the array? Thanks, Neil

I noticed this since I was replacing some drives on RC5 that when I use the shutdown option the machine doesn't actually shutdown but restarts. Anyone else notice anything like this? Thanks, Neil

I ran it through and it completed. Simple question is there a decent program for viewing the reports that would format it properly? I am using Windows notepad and it isn't doing it! Thanks, Neil

Researching I ran the following command: inotifywait -mr /mnt/cache and i watched it. I even manually spun down the drive and I refresh the web interface and that drive is then spinning but there is no output on the screen. Any ideas? Am I useing intofiywait correctly? Thanks, Neil

Thank you!

I am wondering how I go about upgrading my drives. I basically want to go from a bunch of 2tb drives and switch to 3tb. So obviously I have to replace my parity drive. I would like to put my parity drive in the same slot as my old one. Is there a good procedure to go about replacing these drives? I would like to add one to the array and one as the parity drive. They are all precleared at this point. Thanks! Neil

So I ran the -W with the -A and it doesn't seem to have skipped the first steps? Neil

None of my new drives are showing START reports either? That is unusual isn't it? Thanks, Neil

Am I missing something? root@Storage3:/boot/preclear_reports# ls preclear_finish_ 5XW0DDKP_2012-03-27 preclear_finish_ 6YD0G5NN_2011-09-09 preclear_finish_ 6YD0G67X_2011-09-09 preclear_finish_ MJ1311YNG0W39A_2011-10-25 preclear_finish_ MJ1311YNG17ENA_2011-10-25 preclear_finish_ MJ1311YNG2A4SA_2011-10-25 preclear_finish_ MJ1311YNG2BXJA_2011-10-25 preclear_rpt_ 5XW0DDKP_2012-03-27 preclear_rpt_ 6YD0G5NN_2011-09-09 preclear_rpt_ 6YD0G67X_2011-09-09 preclear_rpt_ MJ1311YNG0W39A_2011-10-25 preclear_rpt_ MJ1311YNG17ENA_2011-10-25 preclear_rpt_ MJ1311YNG2A4SA_2011-10-25 preclear_rpt_ MJ1311YNG2BXJA_2011-10-25 preclear_start_ 5XW0DDKP_2012-03-27 preclear_start_ 6YD0G5NN_2011-09-09 preclear_start_ 6YD0G67X_2011-09-09 preclear_start_ MJ1311YNG0W39A_2011-10-25 preclear_start_ MJ1311YNG17ENA_2011-10-25 preclear_start_ MJ1311YNG2A4SA_2011-10-25 preclear_start_ MJ1311YNG2BXJA_2011-10-25

So for some reason I logged back in to my box and I only have two out of three Screen sessions and I initiated them all via telnet so none on console. I ran the -t on the drive I don't see in my other existing sessions and it says precleared however I don't have a report. So what should I do next.

You're welcome. I just bought three of these from Amazon so of course newegg would put them on sale Neil

Well that sucks nothing in there. If I was on the very last step is there a way to skip the beginning stuff and just do the last step? Thanks, Neil
