As of last month, 64 GB ECC (DDR3) with Dual Xeon E5-2640 v2. Previously, was running 8GB DDR3 on Core i5 750, before that I was running 2GB on a Pentium 4 3.0. I've come a long way =).

Backup up option vote here, for the entire server. I've used Unraid for about 8 years now (pre v.5) and am on my 5th iteration of hardware. Now that I have so many older drives and builds, I've been wanting to put together a 2nd unraid for full backups that i can keep offline except for the backups run. I know there are solutions out there but honestly, not being a linux guy they kicked my butt. In fact, trying to implement the SSH keys (to backup offsite) broke my old vpn solution.

okay, after some more messing around, i ran a reiserfsck (in maintenance mode) on the drive. after a LOT of "bad_indirect_item" errors, it tells me to fix the corruptions using --rebuild-tree. Maybe i should try that first. comments?

I have my Unraid running with 12 total data drives of varying sizes. One of my drives recently started giving me a bunch of errors saying it cannot write to disk, and the smart tests don't look so great. I can't replace the drive right now due to cost, but I have enough free space on the array to get rid of it. My question is: Can I pull the drive, let it run emulated and use unbalance to scatter the data to the rest of my array? Then i would just reconfig without that drive. thanks,

I haven't. Should I run the boot option memtest?

Is this good enough, or is there a need for me to dive deeper into the smart logs?

I put it back and it did a parity check/rebuild afterwards.

Here you go. Thanks for taking a look! server-diagnostics-20200221-2215.zip

I've been missing a LOT of my media in Plex lately. When I browse to the folder (ie TV), it shows up as empty. If i share out the drives themselves, I see my missing files, but cannot read or write to the drives. I've consoled in and it won't let me move or delete files because permissions are missing. I've tried to fix the permission issues, but it won't let me. I've tried to write new data to replace the messed up files and Plex picks it up...but only for a couple of hours, then it disappears. I'm assuming it was because it was readable while it was in the cache but get messed up when the mover kicked in. Any ideas? I'm not sure if it's a problem with the share or several drives. Parity ran fine. I've also removed the drive from the array and mounted it separately, still no luck. Again, I can see the files and folders, but can't read/write/delete. Please help!
