  1. So I can get on with the version 6 upgrade then figure out this disk?
  2. I think what may have happened is one of the drives ( think that one) got popped out. The cabinet is a hot swappable (?) as I recall and maybe there was something in the buffer. Is there a way to CHKDSK type of app to check the drive?
  3. Just realized I posted this in ver 6 and I am still on 5. Planning on upgrading after I get this figure out just to be sure. Although, I guess the update only affects the flash drive and not any of the data drives. Correct?

  5. I just had a red dot appear next to one of the drives on the main menu. I have stopped the array and rebooted the server and brough it back on line. I CAN access the files on that drive but the red dot is still there. What should I do next?
  6. Think I. Going to order the WD60EFZX. Best cost effective of the sizes.
  7. Thanks for the heads up. I read about it and think I will prefer the WD60EFZX which is the CMR. Basically the same pricing.
  8. But in a media server, at least in my case, it’s a one time write the vast majority of time. I rip my DVD’s and plan to keep it on the server. If after I watch it and say it’s a crap movie, I my delete it but that happens very seldom. So will SMR really be an issue? My thoughts are more along the thought of 5400 vs 7200 rpm.
  9. I’m looking to add some more storage. I have a bunch (15) of older 1TB WD drives along with 1 2tb and the 2tb parity. Specifically I’m looking at the Red WD60EFAX which is 6tb. At $150 and I know I’d have to get 2 but that way I could convert the older 2tb parity into data so would net 8tb. My luck has been good with the WD but not sure how their latest stuff is good or not.
  10. It’s on the list to do. Just nervous about doing it. What is the limit in 6?
  11. How many drives can you have in version 5. I currently have 15 plus. The parity.
  12. I am having the hardest time getting Main.HTML to come up consistently from my various browsers. I was able to at one point. On my straight Win machine I can get to it by going to a browser and typing in Main, but that machine issuing away On my Mac with Parallels, I cannot get it to come up one either the Mac OS Safari, Firefox or in the Windows (Parallels) on Firefox, chrome, or IE. A couple days ago, I WAS in it via the Mac Safari. Any ideas?
  13. I am not expert Linux or unraid person but need to undelete some files. So how do I tell if mine are xfs?
  14. I don’t have any thing of importance except to media drives so no plug in as far as I know. I’m just looking for the quickest, most painless method to get current so I can move forward to getting everything setup under Plex. So where would I go to do it as a new install? As far as keeping a backup of the flash, I assume you just mean copy it’s entirety onto a folder on a separate pc.
  15. The link to the upgrade doc is not working, where do I go now to get up to speed. My media servers has been down for several years and I finally got it up and need to go from 5.0.8
  16. Just found my answer. I just need to type tower, NOT \\tower\main.
  17. I had an issue with my tower (running UnRaid 5.0.5) several years ago and did not have time to get in the middle of it. So I started back at it and determined the MB network port not working so I installed a new card and can get into it now. I WAS able to get to the Main and started the array. It is now in the process of going thru that parity check, but I cannot get back into Main to see the progress. I remember I used to be able to see that percentage. What am I missing. I know the process will take quite a while for the number of drives, etc. I can go into either the Mac finder or Windows File explorer and see the drives, files., etc., its just slow due to the parity check. But how do I get back into Main.html?
  18. When I get back into my tower running UnRaid Server Pro 5.0.5, I need to recover some files that were accidentally deleted. I have made sure not to add anything to the drives. Where do I go to attempt this?
  19. I feel so stupid. First, I did unplug both the power cord and the network cable, because several years ago, the built in NIC got zapped since I didn't unplug it during a storm. I had to add a card. Now the dummy part was when I plugged it back in, out of habit I plugged it into the dead one. Woke up in middle of the night thinking about it. Plugged it into the right one and presto, its up. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
  20. Last night we had to shut down the tower due to thunderstorms. It was a normal going to the tower main from Firefox on one of the pc's and doing the normal take off line, and power down. This morning, everything was turned on and appears to come up, but not seen on the network. All other pc's see each other, internet, etc. Sometimes in the past this has happened and we just login to the root, and reboot and magically it is visible. However, this time we have rebooted several times, including the router, server and all machines but still nothing, The tower appears to boot normally and comes up to the login prompt, and will allow me to login in. What should I try next?
