Thanks I'll take a look on that thread. I had used Tdarr a while back but removed it a long time ago.

Hi, I've had a problem and not sure what the cause is. Every so often, my server will lose all access to shares. In Windows, when I use Explorer to see them, I'll see all the names but won't be able to access any. On the server itself, the /mnt/user disappears and only /mnt/user0 is available. No shares are accessible. The server is still running, and I'm able to shutdown the VMs that are running as well as dockers, but I need to do a full reboot in order for it to come back.

Got lucky and found an old usb. Was able to copy the passwd, shadow, and smbpasswd. Moved secrets.tdb to be secrets.tdb.old and then rebooted. Looks good now.

Hi all, I'm running into a problem where my shares are not accessible off my Unraid server. I've been trying some of the solutions mentioned in forum as well as Reddits but not having a lot of luck. I have a home lab with a mix of VMs and computers running Ubuntu, Win10, and Win11. Some sort of corruption happened yesterday to my USB which I thought self corrected after a reboot but no love. The server itself and the dockers are able to access the shares and various files I have. However even VMs on the server are not able to access the shares. On my other computers, I'm getting the 0x80070035 or when I diagnose, I'm getting the remote device is not accepting connections. This is true on both Windows and Ubuntu. I've tried resetting the passwords via deleting the passwd, shadow, secrets.tdb, and smbpasswd as I had seen in one session. I also tried renaming the workgroup from being all caps to lower case, again without luck. I'm sure its something stupid, but I just can't seem to figure out whats going on. And unfortunately I can't seem to find any of my backup copies of the USB from when it was working. Thanks, Raven datastore-diagnostics-20241023-1245.zip

Followed the instructions in this video from SpaceInvader One: Ended up having to clear the logs and then it came back up.

Hi all, I initially noticed this during a parity check that was going on my system where Disk 4 dropped while I was just just trying to erase a file. I waited for the parity check to finish then rebooted but when I came back, it still shows as follows: The last time this happened, I redid the configuration as suggested in another post and it was working fine. This is the second time this has happened but its a brand new drive so I'm not sure why. I'm attaching a copy of my diagnostics if anyone can make heads or tails of it to let me know what I may be missing. datastore-diagnostics-20230610-2202.zip Thanks, Raven

Not sure why, but I stopped the array, shutdown, removed the old disk Six, restarted with the new config and tried again and everything now came back. Just thankful for small miracles I guess.

Looks like the data is well and truly gone. Just had to do the parity again and thats it I guess. Should have some old backups for most of the data but lesson learned. Still would like to know what killed it in the end.

Initially they weren't both being emulated. The Four was as it was rebuilding but should have been almost done. I just came home and found them errored out and being unmountable. When I tried to put it back on after a reboot its when I started encountering the issue with emulation. I'll try and see what happens when I get home and hopefully something good will occur.

Sorry you're right. I mistyped when I said pre-cleared. It was just trying to clear the drive.

Hello all, Recently I had two drives go bad within a relatively short time of each other. I had replaced them individually. Drive Six which was my first one to go bad was replaced and per the normal, it went into an emulated mode while it restored the contents and everything was good. Drive Four also was acting up but because Six had more info, I made sure to only do one at a time. After Six was fully done and working for a bit, I did Four. That started off normal and was mostly done. Last night, I came home and saw both Four and Six were offline and listed as Umountable with the encryption keys not working. Did a few reboots and restarts, putting the keys again without luck. The drives were being asked to be formatted. Read through the forums and saw the suggestions again for reboots, even tried removing them, restarting and putting them back in. In the end I went nuclear, and said to format knowing that it may lose my data. Four came back and is now working properly again with the old information. Six seems have done a full format and I guess I lost that data. However its still showing as having a problem but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. Questions I have are this: Can someone help me figure out whats wrong with Six? Is the data truly dead and gone? Is there a possibility of it rebuilding like Four did? I still have the old version of Six, which I had put into a different slot and tried to connect to copy the information on it. It started to preclear but I stopped it, but how do I mount the old drive to pull the information off it again? Thanks in advanced, Ravendatastore-diagnostics-20230607-1853.zip

You'll also need to set your Network connection within the VM to be either a home or work connection in order to allow others to remote into your machine.

Similar to a regular PC, depends on how much read/write you're expecting to do. If you're planning to use it as a boot disk and a data store on another virtual drive, you should be good to go.

You probably wouldn't install it on your cache drive depending on how many instances you'll be creating. Easiest thing would be to create a virtual drive on your user share for each instance. Just remember as your vhd fills up it will grow to the max size that you allocate to it, but won't automatically shrink. You'll need to run scripts to defrag and then zero out the free space in order to shrink it.
