  1. Maybe the expander remapped the partitions?

     

    @JorgeBmay have a better option, but I seem to remember the solution was to unassign one drive at a time, start the array, stop the array, reassign the drive, let it rebuild. Several hours for each drive.

     

    Whatever you do, don't remove more than one drive at a time. To test my solution, unassign one drive, start the array, and see if the emulated drive mounts properly.

    Can as in optional?

    I'm unclear what you are asking. If a pool is a single disk it can be formatted XFS, multi drive pools can use either BTRFS or ZFS.

    So i could have two pools (with the aforementioned 3x HDD and 3x SSD) each utilizing the classic individual unraid strategy?

    You can have multiple pools, but are required to have 1 and only 1 "array".

     

  3. Currently the Unraid "array" is the classic individually formatted data drives with one or two parity drives. Files are not striped across drives, so each drive has its own free space. Pools are single or groups of disks that can utilize BTRFS or ZFS RAID levels. You can have multiple pools, but are required to have 1 and only 1 "array". In a future Unraid release the classic "array" will become just another pool type.

     

    Until then, you must have at least a single drive occupying disk1 in the classic array.

     

    Also, the built in mover currently only moves files between the array and a designated pool, no pool to pool moves with the built in mover.

     

    All root folders and their contents on the array and all pools are combined into the "user shares".

    So you mean disable docker service and start a Benchmark on CPU and RAM?

    No, just disable the docker service and run the server normally to see if it still freezes.

    I think my server has been crashing ever since I started running the Palworld server.

    Does it freeze if that container is not running?

    Any suggestions for where/what I can try?

    Move the VPN duties to the router? I know what you are trying to do should be possible, but it seems to me that it would be better to put the VPN on the endpoints since you want LAN to LAN vs. device to device.

    Whats the best practice for balancing the new HDD's with the 2 old ones so that the data is even across the board?

    As a general thing, the best practice is to not mess with it, just leave the full drives full, and let all new writes go to the new drives. The first bit of the drive is the fastest, the last bit the slowest. Just make sure your split levels and minimum free space is set correctly.

     

    If you really want to move a specific share from one drive to another, the best way would be the Dynamix File Manager plugin.

    yeah, i will say the DCHP mode uses my IP on my desktop i created the image from

    That's not going to work, you can't have duplicate IP's on your network. You need to deal with that in your router, or whatever device is running the DHCP server.

  8. Theoretically yes, but real life experience dictates that it will only go smoothly if you take the time to make a full backup beforehand.

     

    If you make a backup, you won't need it, if you don't make a backup, something will go wrong and you will lose everything.

    Plex seems confused as to what belongs where as I have TV, films, sports (F1, MotoGP, etc), and miscellaneous

    I don't use plex, so I may be wrong, but I think you are supposed to assign different subfolders to different library types so it knows how to differentiate. You don't need different mappings for the container, just select the subfolders in the tree that you mapped.

    Earlier you had /media, but now you referenced /data, so I have no clue how you have it set up.

     

    I could be wrong though, I just know how Emby and jellyfin do it.
