kfc

It's just one running now after restart. Seems like it takes about a day for it to create a new one. Edit: deleting blocklist-update.sh solved the issue.

It seems like I have multiple transmission processes running in the docker. I dont know why this is happening, and I dont know where to start looking.

The reason for it not starting was the User Scripts plugin. Thanks for the support everyone.

Thank you for the help! They are formatting now.

Canceled the sync, added the drives but cannot start the array again due to "You may not add new disk(s) and also remove existing disk(s)."

Beautifull! Thank you. The parity sync / data rebuild is runnig now with the original drives. After it is done, can I add the new drives like originally planned? Or should I preclear the old parity drive?

I can access the flash drive from smb, nothing else. The docker tab tell me that I have to start array to view the containers. And the parity is invalid on the dashboard page. In the main page the button to start the array is gray, the other options that i can do is to reboot and power down the server. Should I reboot and do a parity check in maintenance mode?

I am sure I did not see the option to format the drive because I was freaking out. And I thought the old parity drive wouldn't need to be precleared, so I thought something went wrong as the array was not starting. well... I guess I have to get the array up and running again, then I will add the drive that is precleared and then preclear the old parity drive.

Thank you. I thought I had read somewhere that I could just move data from one drive to an empty drive, format the drive and move data back? Rinse and repeat. But, I will read up on it like I should have done earlier.

So i might have f'ed up. I recently added two shucked drives (WDBBGB0080HBK) to my server, and a sata expansion card (Syba SY-PEX40039). The plan is to upgrade parity, add old parity and 1 new drive to array. Then change the file system from reiserfs to xfs with the use of the unbalance plugin. I tested the expansion card efore starting the preclear by moving the drives around, everything works. After the preclear is done i started with upgrading the parity drive, everything is ok. Then I try to add the old parity drive (without preclearing it) and also the new drive formatted as xfs. I get an error that says the new drive is "unmountable: no file system". While being stuck on "array is starting" So, I do reboots and undo the changes, unmount old parity and new drive. And now it is stuck saying that the array is starting: mounting drives with no changes in read write from main or stats page. Tried to be as detailed as possible, so the fuckups are clear... tower-diagnostics-20181019-2303.zip
