  1. Hello,

     

    I have an array of about 8 Disks, off which Disk 1 is disabled and needs replacing. While i will get to doing so in a few days, i just noticed i am unable to write any data to the array. It starts copying files but then slowly slows down and completely stops... Is this normal ? Previously with a disabled disk i am able to use the server just fine.

     

    any advice?

     

    Thanks

  2. Hello,

     

    I have one of my HDD disabled and when i try to start the array i just cant seem to get it  enabled. It shows a red cross mark against that HDD. However that HDD passes all Smart tests. Is there anyway i can re-enable the HDD or what is my next course of action?

     

    Thanks

  3. Since the past couple of days i have been facing this wierd issue where when i try to stop the array, it keep re-trying to un-mount shares and it goes on and on! It wont stop the array for hours and ultimately through ssh i have to manually initiate a shutdown/reboot. Since this reboots the system i am unable to get a log for this either...

     

    Any clues as to what could be wrong?

  4. Hello,

     

    i am unable to delete or move files created by the rutorrent docker, i mean the torrents i downloaded using rutorrent.

     

    I keep getting a Unix file permission error, those files can only be copy-pasted. And only deleted using the rutorrent interface or manually via ssh.

     

    Is there some file permission i could update to fix this? I am sure this is not the problem with the download dir as the deluge docker which i use, uses the same folder and those file can be moved just fine.

  5. Ok, thanks a lot. From the screenshot of the disk errors i had attached in 2 post above can you understand the nature of the error? Is it a bad sector ?

     

    A bit off-topic, i am one of those members who are facing the slow parity check issues with the SAS2LP controllers. I read somewhere on the forums about a plugin called tuntables, would this really help me as well?

  6. *Update*

     

    I just bought a new Disk to replace the old damaged one, should i just plug it in the slot of the old one and let the data re-built?

     

    Once again to my question in the old post, will the complete data re-built even if a parity check was not run after moving new data onto the array?

  7. I have about half the data backed-up from the damaged disk. Since you mentioend parity check cannot be run on a damaged disk, does that mean that the data which i had copied recently (around 1.5TB) on that disk is un-safe? Because a parity check was not run since i copied the data.

     

    Also, will the data get re-built after inserting the new disk or no?

  8. I connected the Disk in question to my PC and ran a couple of HDD test app's and they all showed the HDD as failed. I have attached the screenshots for the same.

     

    I guess i have to RMA the drive now.

     

    My question now is, currently i have stopped the array and shutdown the server. However when i connect this disk to my PC, it gets detected and shows up under the 'Disk management' app but no actual partition/data content is shown for that disk under 'My Computer' so it leaves me with no way to currently backup the data on this drive (just as a safe side, i know unRaid would re-built the data when the new disk is installed) Is there any way i can still backup the data?

     

    - If i want to continue using the unRaid server while i wait for the replacment disk to arrive, can i continue doing so or will it cause any data loss?

     

    - If a parity check is run without this Disk installed will it cause any data loss?

     

    - Should i just select 'No disk" and start the array?
