That was it. Thank you @itimpi!!

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. I was creating a new share and noticed Disk 1 isn't available to include/exclude. I've restarted the array and the server. Searched the forum but must not be using the right terms. Fortunately, this is my test server so nothing urgent. Thoughts?

Thanks @JonathanM It's a little hard to find documentation/examples especially using the GUI. I was able to figure it out through a bit of trial and error. Using this setting on both servers, I was able to sync folders as set up below. A similar method could be used for any share (/mnt/user) versus individual disks (/mnt/disk3).

Pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Trying to keep two Unraid servers in sync. Syncthing seems like it would do the trick but having trouble configuring. I have it set up on both Unraid servers using mostly the default setting. However, I'm having trouble added the existing folders I would like to sync. In the syncthing gui it only lets me add folders that show up under appdata->Syncthing. (see test and test2). I would like to sync disk2. Setting up any folder under /config seems to work but something like /mnt/disk2 doesn't. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the docker setup. The Appdata setting is at the default but it asked me to set the Path:/data1 during install. I'm not sure what that should be or if it's related to what I'm trying to do. I think this would work really well if I could just get a few of these settings figured out. I'm googled and searched youtube and other forums with no luck. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated

Thanks all for the feedback. I'm upgrading to 8-16 GB RAM. Honestly I though I had more than 2 GB. Just shows how old these servers are. 😮

Thanks @ChatNoir I will remove "previous" and try again. I guess I didn't suspect RAM because the error said "Insufficient free disk space available". I set up these servers many years ago and haven't kept up with the hardware specs for the new Unraid versions.

I recently upgraded from 6.6.3 to 6.10.3. I took a flash backup before upgrading with no issues. After upgrading I tried to take a Flash Backup again. However, I now get an error "Creation error. Insufficient free disk space available". I had the same error on another identical server. Not sure what I did but it is now working on the other server. There is 3.5 GB free on the 4 GB flash drive. I've attached the syslog but it doesn't seem to be capturing the latest data. It's showing about 1pm when it's actually 9pm. Let me know if I can provide anything additional Thanks in advance.

Yeah I think I checked the serial # at least 7 times. I'm one of those people who locks the door when they leave the house, knows they locked the door but still has to get out of the car and check it again. Thanks for you help Gary. ds

Well I did it and it seems to have worked. The array is doing a parity sync and the new drive is being precleared. I may not have been so eager to experiment if I didn't have a complete backup of the data on another server.

I've just finished a parity check. Would using the new config utility clear things up for preclear_disk.sh? I realize I would have to do a new parity sync.

Thanks for the help Gary. With this method do I have to wait until the preclear is complete before starting the array and using the server? Or can I start the preclear and then start the array? Preclear_disk.sh -v tells me I'm using version 1.13. EDIT: I'm still having the same problem. I think I'll use the second option and create a new unraid copy on a different thumb drive.

I just upgraded one of my servers to version 5. I have 5 disks in the array plus parity. I have two unassigned disks, one precleared and one brand new. I've started the array and everything seems fine. I want to preclear the new drive but preclear (-l flag) thinks they are all assigned to the array. I've used the -t flag to check all disks and each time its says its part of the array. One thing I did notice is the drives (sda, sdb etc) don't have the same letters as before the upgrade. Could things have become mismatched? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks dave

Perfect! Thanks!

Is there a way I can tell if I've already pre-cleared my hard drive? I've had this spare drive in my server as a replacement for if/when another drive died. It's been long enough that I can't remember if it's already been pre-cleared. I didn't think about it until after I had already added it to the array for additional space. I have not yet written any data to it. I know I can just pre-clear it again but thought I would ask anyway. I have another drive that is pre-cleared but not added to the array. I'm going to add that drive anyway so I could replace the drive in question with that one if need be. As always, thanks for your help. dave

Perfect! Thanks for all your help Gary. dave
