it's ok, the message is saying that there is no unbalanced.hist file, that's also why the other command i mentioned didn't work for you. does the app work now or it still "crashes" ?

have to remove some of those frontend logs, not sure why it's logging so much 😀 the error is about the operations history, not sure what the root cause is, but try renaming the history file and see how it goes `mv /boot/config/plugins/unbalanced/unbalanced.hist /boot/config/plugins/unbalanced/unbalanced.bak` then restart unbalanced can you also check that file, look for anything unusual ? it's a bit dense, id like to take a look if you can send it over (dm?)

it seems the frontend silently crashed or it's really just stuck, try these 2 things - if you're using chrome, open the developer console (View -> Developer -> Javascript Console), check if there are any errors there - run `tail -f /var/log/unbalanced.log` on the unraid terminal and check what it prints out hopefully one or both of them give some clue

question, i cleared another drive, only i just copied data, didn't move it. can i start with dd right away, or should i format it/delete file first ?

thanks a lot itimpi ! it just worked 👍

only one

ran it overnight, went withouth a hitch. thanks again for the procedure ! question, it did leave a "hole" in the disk sequence, i can live with it, but ... is there a way to close the gap ? maybe reassigning all disks, then calculate a new parity ? i will probably remove another disk first though any thoughts ?

thanks, if Community App is having some issues (most likely upstream though), it sounds like it might be temporary if it still continues happening, i'll ping squid

hey, thanks, that seems like a nice way to do it, i'll get to it on the weekend, thank you !!!

hi, is this still a valid procedure to decommission a drive ? https://docs.unraid.net/legacy/FAQ/shrink-array/#the-clear-drive-then-remove-drive-method haven't found anything non-legacy to shrink an array my drive is empty (cleared it out with unbalanced ), just want to confirm if these steps still hold

no issue that im aware of. it's reported for unbalanced or for unbalance (the previous name of the plugin) ?

hi, yes, i looked into it in the past, didn't find a good ux to expose them though, i will revisit the idea though

not by default, it uses rsync internally which does support hardlinks, but you need to add the flag in the settings (custom rsync flags). having said that, users have reported some issues with hardlinks, unraid shares (can't remember the details) my suggestion, use another tool if you have hardlinks: i don't use them so i can't validate/test them, there have been report of issues (similar to yours) and finally, it's not a good idea to change the rsync default flags that unbalanced uses (i may remove the custom flag setting altogether)

yea, that's currently missing

yup, try this

yes, i should add something to the faq basically, on ios/android platforms you need to override a lot of configuration in order to be able to connect to https sites with self-signed certificates and both platforms, which leads to a lot of workarounds as well, a valid certificate is by definition also more secure i may revisit this in the future, depending on any platform changes this is still the case, *.myunraid.net dns resolution still returns a local ip

when you choose gather and before you start transferring, the button to start the operation reads Move, which signals files will be moved (transferred to destination then deleted on source, either via rm or remove-source-files) i think i considered this early on, i didn't use it at the time (not sure why) but i can revisit this sometime

not really, i think the flags were the issue, i've stuck to the about 5 or 6, maybe 7 rsync flags for as long as i can remember, going beyond that is uncharted territory (at least for me) i do have a warning on the unbalanced rsync settings for that reason (something about changing the flags is for expert users or similar iirc)

i've never used those command line flags in an rsync command outside of unbalanced, much less as part of unbalanced 🤷‍♂️, but i think it did what you told it to do, it copied some files (only those below 20M), then deleted the source files (as gather is a move which is copy/delete)

hi, are you accessing your server via https ? if that's the case you need to provision a let's encrypt certificate and access the server with the myunraid.net url, you can find some screenshots in the faq (https://www.apertoire.com/faq/controlr/#cant-connect)

stopping a command/operation, means sending a linux kill command to the rsync process ... sometimes it takes a bit of time to end, but i'm not sure if it waits for the current file to complete the transfer, i don't think it does though

woa, that's a suprise, it seems unbound does support rebind whitelisting, maybe its a bug 🤷‍♂️ i haven't tried zerotier, but i can vouch for wireguard, i set it to on demand on my phone and it works seamleassly when im out of my wifi coverage, no hiccups at all (using navidrome to stream music or to access my unraid server) it just works

yea, i did, there was an issue with the data, but thanks anyways, really appreciate it !!

nice ! ill address the issue with the icons in a future release

one last question, are both servers running on https ? http ?
