We'll see when the price is revealed...

Just a heads up, Sons of the Forest (sequel to The Forest) is coming out on Thursday and I'm sure that will be requested soon.

So 80,000+ writes per day later, I figured out it was the My Servers plugin in a backup loop. I uninstalled it and it opened up 10+GB of space on my USB.. A moderator may want to move this to the plugin support topic.

upon shutdown there was something like unclean shutdown detected/unable to stop unraid_driver ...but I only saw it for a split second

Here's an updated diagnostics after some rebooting. tower-diagnostics-20220602-1506.zip

I also restarted (normal boot) and the domain.cfg is still being written to before the array is started A new flash backup is triggered every 60 seconds so I apologize for hammering your API

I was able to narrow it to the domain.cfg via a few `ls -ltR ./boot` commands. I turned the VM service off Stopped the array Nuked the domain.cfg Started array Still constantly writing. Also my VM Settings page is crazy slow to load versus all the others for some reason. I do not think this was an issue until I moved to 6.10.2 but I could be wrong. I was running a Home Assistant VM prior to me switching it off and it worked fine. As I am not well versed in the VM stuff I'm looking for some help please. 🙏 tower-diagnostics-20220602-1223.zip

Nevermind! I gave it a clean reboot and the password prompt re-appeared. All is well, thank you for the time @Squid

My USB died last night so I replaced it. - I used USB Creator to create a new OS (stable) - Copied over my entire /config folder because I have nightly backups - Start it up, and my config is intact. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. - Transfer my registation key (great work on that btw) One problem: All of my disks are XFS-encrpyted and the disks are unlocked and do not have a password prompt. I'm afraid if I start the array it will wipe everything? Am I crazy or does the password prompt show up after I start the array? Attached are the options given to me

As long as you have those 3 UDP ports forwarded it does work through the in-game browser. The in-game browser just takes a long time to search by name. Could be early access/growing pains. I have it logged in anonymously in case you are not going that route.

Yeah, I made a PR for the CA config but I now see you're reply. Feel free to close the PR if not needed. Also, thank you.

I'll PR a config

Can I ask for a Valheim template? It just launched on SteamCMD https://www.valheimgame.com/

I imagined so, I just did not want to assume.

Full array recovery! NOTE: The step missing from the above method in this case was: My disks were all XFS (encrypted), not the default XFS. Set the default formatting to the appropriate under Disk Settings then reassign them. Thanks to @Frank1940, @trurl and whomever Tom is from support for the very quick response on getting my registration key. I owe you guys a 🥩 dinner.

Thank you all. I will try this method tonight and let you know how it goes.

So I add all drives (1 cache, 2 parody, 9 array) to the slots exactly as it once was, this should work. One more question, do I start this with my old `/config` applied onto a fresh copy of unraid or not? Wouldn't it warn about starting array with a new config and force a parody rebuild? Which is fine in the case that it keeps the data already on the disks. Two questions actually, do I need my old `/config` in regards to anything of my array encryption key?

Also, the data recovery firm wanted some serious money that I don't have.

My plugins/dockers/vms can all burn, thats ok with me. As mentioned above, I have a screen shot of how my drives were properly assigned. If it helps, I had dual parody disks, 1 cache drive & 9 array drives. (All drives are encrypted) Key file is backed up. Yes, will need updated with the new USB drive. I do have an older config/ folder I can use to get things started.

I am aware of how air-headed this all was, let me be the poster child as to how not backing up is bad. My Missteps - My USB drive holding my OS configs died. Hardware failure. Even tried a data recovery firm. - I rearranged drives 6 months ago and forgot to reconfigure my backup schedule properly. What I have to work with - I have an old backup (6+ months) that has my old drive assignments with a different parody and such - A screen shot of my current drive assignments before the USB failure and post-drive rearrangement. What do I do? A) Make a new USB with my old confg, map my drives to its most current positions, pre-USB failure, and all data on the array will be recovered automagically? 🤞 B) Start over? 😢 C) Some other thing I am unaware of? Hopefully someone will verify and/or change my suspicions that option A is the way to go before I try it tonight. I've been an avid Unraid'r for 5+ years and this community has always been great so thank you ahead of time.
