  1. Yes, I realized after posting that it was probably the thumb drive. I must have bumped it, while pulling the cover off of the system, to the point that it was marginally inserted. All is well. I am just past the middle of a 65Hr parity-sync. I am gathering additional drives onto which I will backup the files. Thanks.
  2. That's what I am having at the moment. I am using unraid v5 and have had no issues. But, I recently discovered that I am down to roughly 30GB of free space and need more space to store (home) videos and photographs. I purchased two 12TB drives: one to replace the 4TB parity drive and the other to replace one of two 1TB drives. After that, the old parity would replace the remaining 1TB drive. I ran a parity check, turned off autostart, did a safe shutdown, replaced the parity, and powered up. The boot process stopped a few lines after a message (attached) that the volume (sda1) was not properly unmounted. No idea which drive--though I assume it's the parity--it was because the unraid identifications are only three letters (e.g., parity was "sdb"). At this point, I cannot enter any line commands: only hit return. After waiting a few minutes, I thought the prudent thing to do would be to just put the original parity drive back in, and the cogitate for a while. Unfortunately, it fails to boot. It now stops after remounting the filesystem as read only (again, see attached). These are twenty years of the boys growing up, so it has to be saved! What should I do? thanks in advance.
  3. My unraid NAS has been running for roughly 5yrs, and recently one of the 2TB drives has begun to exhibit numerous errors. (I actually discovered this because the NIC has been slowing down to a crawl when copying files over to it, and upon connecting to the web gui I discovered the errors. So I ordered a new NIC which will replace the aging Intel GB NIC.) While the initial anxiety of losing data (all of the kids' pictures and family videos over the past 17yrs are of most concern) tends to make me think that I should first swap the drive and then do an upgrade to v6; I wonder if, however, upgrading first would make the swap easier in any way? My unraid machine is currently powered down, after having done a parity check. I will be getting two new drives to replace the failing one and to upgrade the system capacity. (Really" the answer to "The Dark ?" is not "Side"? In which galaxy is this wrong?) greg
