Continuing to try to get the data back, I attempted to create a new config, and the bad drive won't mount when the array is started. When trying to do and xfs_repair, here's the output: root@MEDIA-CENTRAL:~# xfs_repair -v -L /dev/sdm Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... bad primary superblock - bad magic number !!! attempting to find secondary superblock... .found candidate secondary superblock... superblock read failed, offset 4000786989056, size 131072, ag 4, rval 40960 fatal error -- Inappropriate ioctl for device Is this drive truly dead? If so, it failed after the parity sync of the new drive, how could the data have been lost?

Long story short, my parity drive was starting to show signs of issues and I was planning un upping the size of drives, so I replaced the 8TB with a 14TB. Parity sync completed, and the next day, another drive, an older 4TB, started showing signs of problems. I rebooted the server to replace that drive with another 14TB, and now it seems the data on that drive has not been restored. I thought I'd put the 4TB back in it's slot in the array to try to repair the drive, and now I can't restart the array because it's saying the replacement drive is too small. Is there anything I can do or am I just completely out of luck and have lost the data on that drive? I tried running Paragon Linux File System to see the contents of the drive, but it wont mount. I've rebooted the server, so the logs are useless I'm guessing.... I'm really hoping I didn't lose 4TB of data from the server.

So I feel like a bit of an idiot since I can't find anybody else mentioning the same problem. I can't get the plugin to install. I keep getting this error: Warning: mkdir(): Read-only file system in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 235, and I don't know what to do. I'm definitely a NOOB when it comes to working with anything other than the GUI, how do I get around this? My system was upgraded to the official 6.0 after running the beta, and I have everything else I need working, including VM's and several Docker applications. Any help to get Community Applications installed would be greatly appreciated, sorry for the NOOB trouble, and TYIA!

Understood. Thanks for the help and guidance.

Well, that allowed me to delete the files. I had a feeling it was something simple. Will newly downloaded files have the proper permissions, or will I need to do this frequently? Thank you so much.

First off, I'm very sorry for creating another thread about this. I'm definitely not as familiar with linux as most of the people here, so please forgive my ignorance. I just got my unraid server up and running with 6.0-rc3. So far, I love it. I used to use my windows machine to host my movies, and download via sabnzbd/sickbeard/couchpotato. I have all three setup un unraid, and they are working great, except I can't delete files created by them from my windows machine. I have unmenu installed as well if that can help. I was even able to install some VM's with windows 10 and ubuntu to play with (that's a really big deal for me!). I know this topic has been raised before, and I've read the threads leading me to believe that something is happening under the root user instead of the nobody user. From there, my head starts spinning. I am really a noob when it comes to anything beyond the web interface interaction, so again, my apologies for asking something that has probably been answered, I just can't figure it out. If there's one of you out there that would be willing to hold me by the hand to guide me through fixing this, and how to get you the info you need to get started, I would not be able to thank you enough. I really want to take the load off my windows machine and run everything on the unraid server. Thank you!!!!!
