  1. Using Rufus, I created a syslinux 6.04 bootable flash with it, on a 32 Gig Sandisk key making sure I ticked compatibility with old motherboards.

    Then I copied the unraid files for a brand new installation from the zip install file.

    This time it has done it, so it looks like some of the files on the flash that I was using are corrupted.

    What do I copy across to get the server back up and running?

    I plan to follow the same process on the flash which is registered, so I can copy across the key for a start.

  2. Hi trurl, thanks for commenting, it' useful because I never really paid attention to what type of parity check is in progress. That particular parity check started upon booting automatically after an unclean shutdown due to a power outage, which type would that be, in your opinion?

    I don't regularly perform parity checks, which I guess I should start doing on a regular basis. Which type of parity checks should I perform and how often would you suggest?

    This drive that has filesystem issues used to be the parity drive. I bought a new 10TB drive to replace a drive that was showing pending sectors, but as it was the largest drive I have, it ended up becoming a copy of the old parity (bit more history in the thread below). I rebuild the drive with pending sectors using the old parity as replacement (8TB drive). So the drive was rebuild over two months ago. I still have the replaced drive, and I used Checksum Compare, a windows app, to check all the movie files across the old and replacement drive, which gave thumbs up for all the files.

    Though not sure it will work since now unlike in the previous diags it's not detecting a valid reiser filesystem, if reiserfsck doesn't work check if the old disk mounts with UD, if yes and no new data was written since it got disabled it might be better to do a new config and re-sync parity instead.

    What is UD? I have started the array in maintenance mode and clicked on CHECK for drive 2.

    It says "running" below the following message "reiserfsck 3.6.27 Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/md2 Will put log info to 'stdout'"

  4. Ok replaced the cable, still no mounting and no drive access after starting the array.

    Then I actually removed the drive physically from the server.

    And rebooted it.

    The UI still shows "Disk 2 not installed Unmountable: No file system"

    And I cannot see a folder next to it.

    And I cannot see data being emulated, or a drive being emulated.

    No read errors now.

    Diagnostics which I just donwloaded also attached.
