  1. Thanks for your help. I was able to repair one of the drives. Both times that I started the array, Parity rebuild started. I pause the rebuild in less than a minute each time. Do I format and rebuild the second data drive from parity even though parity had started to rebuild itself, or is it time to cut my losses, format the data drive, and rebuild parity? I'm fairly confident that I have recovered all of my "irreplaceable" data so If I lose whatever is on the data drive it's not a huge problem.
  2. Backstory: It started with having a drive being emulated. Soon after that, The server shut down and would not restart. I replaced my motherboard after having determined that my old motherboard was bad. I bought a used Supermicro X9DRH-7F from E-bay. After fiddling in the bios, I finally got Unraid to boot, but I now I have two disks shown as having no file system. All of the drives in the system are the same as before, included the disk that was being emulated. I was expecting to have problems with the one drive that was emulated previously, but having two drives down is a problem since I have only one parity. tower-diagnostics-20221219-2021.zip
  3. I have been trying to stress test a new 8TB drive using the Binhex Preclear Docker to replace my parity drive. I have tried 3 times and the test has failed to complete every time. I have nor received any emails from the docker, and when I look at the NoVnc window it is blank except for the prompt. When I first started trying to preclear the 8tb drive all of my disks were OK, but now I have three 4 drives with smart errors, including the 8Tb drive. Diagnostics attached. tower-diagnostics-20210401-0745.zip
  4. I am trying to set this up, and I am stuck on setting the Backup Storage Path. I've been an Unraid user for sometime, but I am well below noob user level. I would like to get this set-up, but I will need exact instructions to make it happen. TIA for any help that you can provide.
  5. Thank you very much for such a detailed response. I will get my HDHomeRun ordered and try to get this all set up.
  6. I am looking to get rid of Dish Network and want to watch and record OTA programming. I would like to use my UnRaid server as the storage device for recorded TV. I've been reading, and I am thinking that I will use a HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO as a tuner, and EMBY as my media player. I have 3 tv's to connect; 1 - Samsung Smart TV, and 2 - "dumb" TV's. I have Roku Express devices connected to both of my "dumb" tv's. I believe that I will be able to install a Emby channel on my roku's, and I have already installed Emby on my Samsung TV. Having said all that, I'm not sure how it all fits together. Do I install one of the EMBY dockers, and then configure it to use the HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO and my server as the storage device? I chose EMBY over Plex because I read that EMBY is easier to set up. I can use Plex if that is the way to go. Do I have all of the pieces of the puzzle to make this work, or am I missing something? I seem to struggle with most everything that I try to do with my server, I'm going to need all of the help I can get to make this work. Thanks, Matt
  7. I removed and re-added the disk. It completed a parity check, and the smart report shows no errors. Thank you very much for your help. 🙂
  8. Thanks for looking. I did a system restart, here are the diagnostics after the system came back up. The parity disk still has a red X. tower-diagnostics-20200316-2146.zip Edit : I just re-read your post. Since the parity disc is still offline I don't think that the diagnostics will help.
  9. Hello all, I checked on my server today, and found that the parity disc has been disabled with 2048 errors. Can someone please look at my diagnostics file and tell me if I need to replace my parity disc, or if there is some other problem? Thanks, Matt tower-diagnostics-20200315-1948.zip
  10. I was wondering if it's my GPU. I have a GT 730. If you think that it's not a GPU issue then I will try your method. Thanks.
  11. I have the VM setup, and everything is working in the OpenELEC GUI. When I try to watch anything the frame rate is .1, and cpu usage is high. I have attached my diagnostic file. tower-diagnostics-20191006-1208.zip
  12. TL;DR Jump to the last paragraph. To start off I would like to introduce myself. My name is Matt. I am a carpenter not a tech guru. I built my system in 2014, I continued to read the forums until 2016, and my last update on unraid was in 2017. Fast forward to today, I updated unraid OS to 6.5.3 and all of my plugins to are up to date. I do have Community Applications and Fix Common Problems installed, along with other various plugins. I built my server for the sole purpose of storing my collection of movies and tv series. I have two Raspberry Pi 2's and a desktop computer that I use to play my media in three separate locations in my house. In the past I have tried various methods to sync the data across all three systems, but I have never been able to make it work. My goal is to create a VM to run Kodi, Libreelec, or some other variant on my unraid system. Once I get that working, I plan to use a HDMI splitter to run to my TVs and projector. I bought one of the Natex, S2600CP w/ dual E5-2670 a year or two ago, but didn't install it into my server until this week. I am getting a 1-5-4-4 beep code "This beep sequence indicates a power fault or failure". Everything will power up and boot into UnRaid, UNTIL I plug power into even one hard drive. I updated from a corsair 650w power supply to a Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-750FX but that didn't help. I'm at a loss as to where to go from here, and any suggestions are welcome.
  13. They have them here in the U.S. as well. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=seagate+skyhawk+drives&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aseagate+skyhawk+drives
  14. That would be an option to rsync right ? I really don't know a lot of rsync commands, but googling "rsync delete empty folders" provided this as a solution: rsync -av --ignore-existing --remove-source-files source/ destination/ && \ rsync -av --delete `mktemp -d`/ source/ && rmdir source/
  15. May I suggest that you add an option to delete empty folders?
  16. I'm trying to install the Emby plugin v2.2.10 on Openelec v6.0.3 Kodi15.2 on a RPi 2. When I go into the repository > Kodi Emby Addons > Video add-ons > Emby and select install I get the error "Installation Failed", and then "Failed to install a dependency". What do I need to do to make this work?
  17. Good Morning jbrodriguez. I just wanted to let you know that I was able to successfully use unBALANCE for the first time. I'm sure mine was a case of: I just wanted to say thanks, and to let you know that I appreciate the work that you have done.
  18. I had been having an issue with one of my computers not connecting to my Unraid server shares. All of my computers (including the Unraid server) have static IPs. The computer that wouldn't connect is running Win 7 Pro. I could ping the server using the IP address, and also using \\Tower. I could connect to the server's web GUI. I could not however map a drive or see the server in the network. After googling of and on for three days, I finally found a solution that worked for me, and I wanted to post it here. Hopefully it will help someone in the future. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ef232016-0f87-4252-ae65-a101534ed1ea/can-ping-server-but-cannot-map-network-drive? "Just found a solution this morning: Type in the following command in command prompt: netsh int isa set state disabled Give it a couple of reboots and that should sort it."
  19. That worked, Thanks for the reply.
  20. I seem to be unable to get to the Home page. It doesn't matter if I click on "Home" or "Settings" it stays on the page shown below. If I hover on the "Home" button, the url is shown as MYIP:6237:/#/ Is that correct? Suggestions? https://www.dropbox.com/s/rf5xza7vh5xwpkq/unbalance.jpg?dl=0 It would seem that I can't figure out the tags either.
  21. There is a topic on the E5-2670's here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=46077.0
  22. Mostly Couchpotato and Sickbeard take care of the extras to be downloaded. Otherwise, I use Tiny Media Manager. Filebot for mass renaming if needed.
  23. I bought mine at newegg on 1/17/15, the same day as the first post in this thread. I probably saw bjp999's original post and jumped on the deal. I set it next to my server and never touched it until last weekend. bjp999's serial number as shown in This post was WOL24028xxxx, mine is Serial Number: WOL240288135 I think I got VERY lucky...
  24. I just precleared one of these drives using Joe L's script. I found this thread while trying to decide whether or not I should worry about the HPA on this drive. I have decided that I should just ignore HPA, and that the warning is due to the odd size of the drive. Do you guys have any thoughts on this? I am attaching my preclear report only because I seem to have been lucky enough to have bought a drive that is not failing. Somewhat sorry for the necro post.
