  1. Hi,

     

    I also have this issue after upgrading to 6.10.3. Typically:

    • Server becomes unreachable on the network
    • Physically, server is on but unresponsive - even via direct keyboard / mouse interaction
    • I had to give it a hard reset a couple of times but it won't last 8 hours before freezing again, even the parity checks don't get a chance to complete

    I have reverted to the previous version as my backups are stored on the Unraid environment and I couldn't afford to be without. After roll back, the server has been stable for just over 24 hours. I'll have a look at the BIOS settings as recommended above and change accordingly if needed.

     

  2. Hi All,

     

    I'm sh*t out of luck with 2 out of the 5  (6 including parity) disks in my Unraid setup failing within the space of a couple of days. I've shared a screenshot plus the diag file and some lines from the event log. I have only tried to reboot the system a couple of times, but before I go any further and start unplugging stuff, I would like to know if there is any way to salvage the situation. I have two new drives on the way in the meantime but not quite sure what the consequences are of losing more than one drive in terms of being able to rebuild parity.

    I think what you've did is to assign the zabbix containers a static ip and the maria db not or am I wrong?

    If you do this by default the containers can't communicate with each other.

    If you want to enable communication between them you have to go to Settings - Docker and enable 'Host access to custom networks' and then restart your Unraid server (be sure to enable the advanced view). Then it should work. ;)

    Nailed it!  I was using the host IP for MariaDB but have now changed that following your recommendation. It looks like Zabbix is firing up now:

     

    ** Preparing Zabbix server
    ** Using MYSQL_USER variable from ENV
    ** Using MYSQL_PASSWORD variable from ENV
    ********************
    * DB_SERVER_HOST: 192.168.0.30
    * DB_SERVER_PORT: 3306
    * DB_SERVER_DBNAME: zabbix
    ********************
    ** Database 'zabbix' already exists. Please be careful with database COLLATE!
    ** Creating 'zabbix' schema in MySQL

     

    I guess takes a few minutes?

  4. I have the same question. I've deployed Windows VMs before under Unraid and always accessed the console via VNC. I'm a bit stuck for Open Elec though, couldn't find much in the documentation. How do you access the console and configure it? Thanks as always.

     

    Long Live Unraid! :)

  5. I have uploaded a screenshot of my folder structure, basically whatever is highlighted in yellow needs to reside on a separate disk.

     

    I have used Itimpi's suggestion of a manual split - which will work for me even though there is a bit of elbow grease required but it provides the desired result.

     

    An option that is not that often mentioned is to use Split Level 0 (NOT blank which is different).  At this level you are expected to manually create the folders within a share (using disk level shares) where a particular folder can reside.  If you want the a folder to be able to span multiple disks then you manually create that same folder on the relevant disks and the allocation method will pick the disk to use.    This gives you the most precise control over where files are placed at the expense of a little manual effort to create the desired folder structure on the target disks that controls which disk to use.

     

    I implemented it last night and will see how it works over the next few days before I mark the forum as solved. I think the situation was complex since I changed split level strategies way down the road (compared to doing it in the beginning). And it looks like the High Water mechanism was on its second pass on the first disk before moving on to the other disks.

  6. The other key point is that if a file already exists then it is updated in-place regardless of the split level or allocation method.  If a folder in the target path that is beyond the split-level value already exists then the split-level and allocation method are also ignored.

     

    Ok I think we are getting somewhere - I would like to highlight at this point that ALL the data that I am working with right now existed on my Unraid set up previously (before I changed the split levels). So what you're saying is that if the data existed on the share previously, the split level policy will be ignored / overridden? If that is the case then I need to move all my data off Unraid? Destroy the array and rebuild it??

  7. Attached is the screenshot for Unraid main.

     

    Movies are organised as follows:

     

    Netdrive | Movies | Complete | ..then all folders are equal at this level..

    Netdrive |Movies | TV Shows | ..then all folders are equal at this level..

     

    I also did a quick test - I created a folder on disk4 manually with the same names and levels,and then populated it with data. Then if I tried to access it via the network share, and try to normally copy data to that folder, it just defaults to creating a folder on disk1 and sending the data there (see screenshot UNRAID_TEST).

     

    Hope this makes sense.

  8. Hi All,

     

    Just thought I'd let you know - I tried the following and no luck  :(

     

    Old config:

    Share | Level 1 | Level 2

    Network | Movies | ...... 1.08TB

    Network | Backups | ...... 86GB

    Network | Photos | ..... 18GB

    Network | Downloads | ..... 18G

     

    Basically I renamed the share and Level1 folders and tried to copy them back to the share.

     

    New config:

    Share | Level 1 | Level 2

    Netdrive | Movies | ...... 1.08TB

    Netdrive | Test1 | ...... 86GB - Tried to copy back to share -> still goes to Disk1

    Netdrive | Test2 | ..... 18GB - Tried to copy back to share -> still goes to Disk1

    Netdrive | Test3 | ..... 18G - Tried to copy back to share -> still goes to Disk1

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Regards,

     

    Nadil.

  9. Hi All,

     

    @Danioj - I think you might have nailed it as I am in a similar situation as you were in (initially I was at Split Level 1). I have not renamed the folders in between transfers so what you are saying does make sense. I will do that tonight and let you guys know. Is it possible to simply rename a share without transferring some folders? I have run out of spare disks for my Movies folder and have nothing to temporarily offload it from Unraid?

     

    @Dgaschk / LionelHutz - Screenshots attached as requested.

     

    I will post back here after testing the above.

     

    Thanks again for your input.

  10. Hi All,

     

    I am posting here because I am absolutely baffled at my attempts to get Unraid to apply proper split levels under Highwater. Here is my set up:

     

    Specs:

    Unraid 5.06 Server Plus

    MSI - Z77A-G43

    Intel® Celeron® CPU G550 @ 2.60GHz

    8GB RAM

     

    Disk Layout:

    2TB Parity

    2TB HDD1

    1TB HDD2

    1TB HDD3

    500 HDD4

     

    Folder Layout / Highwater / Level 2

     

    Share | Level 1 | Level 2

    Network | Movies | ...... 1.08TB

    Network | Backups | ...... 86GB

    Network | Photos | ..... 18GB

    Network | Downloads | ..... 18GB

     

    My problem - despite all my attempts of copying data off and on the array (always starting with the Movies folder), even deleting the share at one point and recreating it, the split level simply does not kick in. All the data sits on HDD1. Even after passing the half way mark. I have tried doing so at Level 1, 2, and 3 but to no avail (always copying the data off and of to see if it gets assigned properly. Ideally I would like to implement Level 2 but so far have been unsuccessful. I initially had the free version of Unraid with 1x Parity and 2x Data drives and had the same problem. Even after upgrading to Plus and adding drives I have not managed to get the desired result. Would appreciate help at this point as I have run out of ideas, I have read the documentation over and over again to see if I am doing anything wrong but am stumped at this point. Thanks in advance.
