Run a disk check on the flash drive. It sounds like you may not have ejected the drive properly, possibly pulling it out before the files actually completed writing.
-
Because when you log in to the tower using telnet, or at the local console, you are running as root unless you actively changed to a non-privileged user. When you move files as root, root now owns the files, and the normal unraid users don't have permission to access root owned files. So, you have to run the new permissions script to grant access. Or something like that.Why do I have to run the script again?

Pasted from Tom in another thread.
Basic
- supports 3 array drives
- supports Public and Secure security mode
Plus
- supports 6 array drives
- supports cache drive (for 7 total drives supported)
- supports Public, Secure, Private security mode
Pro
- supports 24 total drives
- supports cache drive
- supports Public, Secure, Private -or- Active Directory
Based on what Tom said, yes.Now the Plus version supports 7 drives it says. Does that mean 7 drives total including cache and parity? -
Ahh, now I understand. When you copy files to an identical path on 2 different array disks, unraid can't resolve 2 identical file names in the user share, and it generates a duplicate file message in the system log. By renaming the root level folders, it's no longer an identical path, so no dupe messages. I wouldn't worry about it at this stage of the game. It's only relevant to user shares anyway, it has no bearing on disk shares.why does step 3 say: You should not encounter any duplicates any more.

Yep. Get it up and running on the USB stick that you plan to use for the long haul, and after you decide it's working for you and you want a license, you input the GUID from from the USB stick into the limetech registration site.My mistake on the trial period. I could just install the free version using 3 of my drives and then upgrade to a full license after I give it my own "trial" run though correct?
-
I'm not sure what you mean by "using the shrink procedure", but as soon as you have a copy of all the disk1 data elsewhere, you can set a new config and omit the drive that was in disk1 slot and generate new parity with the remaining drives.so if i copy data from disk1 (failed) to disk6 (empty)... using the shrink procedure... i should be OK, right? thanks for the warning. i needed it. I almost pulled out disk6!the drives that i have available ATM are all bigger than parity. and non a pre-cleared.

You can move files around, but keep in mind, the longer you run with a degraded array, the better the odds of having another drive failure, at which point you will lose the contents of both failed drives.okay - i have a drive that's PRETTY empty. how funny that for about a year i ran with it in place, not being used/assigned. about a week or two ago, i assigned it to the array. I can take the filesthat are on that, move it to another disk on the array, and do this. i'm safe to move within the array in this condition right?
You can NOT remove any of the current array drives, or all of the files on the failed drive will be forever lost. If you cannot source another drive, you could copy the files from the failed emulated drive onto the other array drives, then rebuild parity after setting a new config without the failed drive.
You are very close to losing the data on that drive, so be sure you understand exactly what you are doing before you do anything. If you do not have backups of everything on that drive, now is the time to make a copy elsewhere of the data that you want to keep, in case something else fails.
-
Unless you have some sort of special deal worked out with Tom, there is no such animal. The basic 3 drive version of unraid is free, no trial period needed. The plus and pro are licensed only, no trial period available that I'm aware of.Gonna give the 30 day trial a go this weekend!Ninja'd twice in the same thread.

Put in a new drive, and let unraid rebuild onto the new drive from the rest of the drives. Unraid is handling it gracefully, it's allowing you to run with one drive failed, and will rebuild the contents on the new drive when you put it in.One thing that's weird is the UI shows LOTS of reads and LOTS of writes to just this one drive (image attached). Also, this drive is almost 100% full. I'm HOPING that something tried to write to the drive, but since it's full, threw an error. Though I thought UnRaid handles this gracefully.What do? Run a parity sync?
It's possible that the drive is still ok, could be power or sata connection, but as of right now, the contents of that physical drive isn't relevant, as unraid has been emulating it using parity ever since a write to it failed.
You can try rebuilding it onto itself, but if I were you, I'd put in a new tested drive, and run diagnostics on the old drive after the array is healthy again.
-
However... if you enable the new reconstruct-write mode discussed here, you can at least get back to single disk speed instead of being limited by the current parity overhead.In case you are unaware of it, unRAID write speeds are always less than you can get from a striped RAID array like FreeNAS.Dang, ninja'd by Weebo

Not "should be the largest", but MUST be the largest, or EQUAL, to any of the array drives. If you have a 4TB parity, you can have as many 4TB data drives as your current license allows. All data drives are fully available, so you don't lose any space except for the parity drive. If you want 4TB of storage, 2 4TB drives will give it to you, and if you add a 2 TB drive, you will have 6 TB available. You can add any size of drive as a data drive, as long as it is the same or smaller than your current parity.My understanding is that the parity drive should be the largest drive in the array. But is there a way to determine how large the parity drive should be? -
I'm shy in the HDD dept and have used all my slotsI started unRaid to get away from all the external drives, so I don't want to start that all over again.
I think you have answered your own question, in a way. If you want to expand, you will need a bigger setup.

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?board=31.0Maybe Tom should open a 'unraid roadmap' topic.

Many disk browsers access the files to determine file type and display thumbnails.the disks still spin up when I'm browsing through directories (not accessing files). -
Yes.Would it be difficult to implement a plugin management system where you can view what plugins are installed, their versions, and have update/uninstall options?
-
Any location other than /boot/* or /mnt/* in a stock unraid install is on a RAM drive.Any way to create a RAM drive and assign it as a cache drive (or simply mount it at all) in Linux? -
If you are only using it for short periods, power consumption isn't a concern. Just throw together the cheapest box you can, use your castoff smaller hard drives, whatever gets you a current backup. Do it sooner rather than later. I deal with people on a regular basis that all say, I was planning on backing it up, but I never got around to it. Data recovery is VERY expensive in some cases, you could put together a very nice 20TB unraid server for the average price of an expedited clean room recovery.In other words, it's MUCH better to build a low-power backup system and put it somewhere else in your home. Turn it on via WOL, do your backups, and then shut it down.

Darn, there goes your streak of sub 1 hour response times.Not today, I've got a very busy afternoon/evening.

Config, categories, folder/path.

Pretty sure the shots you posted have nothing to do with getting files moved after they are finished. Sickbeard is the one doing the moving, and it only moves tv shows that are in your list in Sickbeard, so it's to be expected that movies stay.

I don't want to send my Dropbox metadata to StorageMadeEasy.
So basically you create an account and add all of the storage resources you wish to make accessible from the interface (even drobbox accounts) when you install the client on your computer
I'm trying to be diplomatic here, but it really sounds like xlordnashx is a salesman from this sme place. He doesn't even listen to the valid point made here, in that sme would have to have all your account details from your other existing accounts that you want to use. Sounds like a security nightmare waiting to happen.
I'm genuinely curious here, xlordnashx, what unraid version are you currently running?
-
If you use the official lime logo and unraid text, you may be violating trademark. Not saying you can't get them made, just that it's not nice, and may not be legal where you live. You really need to get Tom's permission before doing it.There's loads of companies that'll make custom items for you, just buy one from there. Obviously it won't go directly to Tom (Limetech's owner(?)) but least you'll have one.
If you want the profits to go to tom, I think the better thing to do would just to be to donate to him & then buy the badge elsewhere.

If you did add the preclear signature without clearing the disk, you would definitely corrupt any subsequent disk rebuilds until a full correcting parity check was run. Is the data on your other disks important to you?I was hoping there was some preclear script command to clear enough of the disk to fool unraid into thinking it is empty and not do another full preclear on the disk.
Web UI extremely slow(and then stops responding)

First thing to check is the client end.
Does the behaviour change if you use a different PC to access the webui?
Does it change if you use a different browser?
Does it change if you uninstall your antivirus / firewall?
Also, you may have a malware infection that is interfering with browsing.
Based on the symptoms, I doubt the problem is with the unraid box.
