Thanks. I thought we needed to do this prior to adding it to the array. If I don't need to do that, I will skip it. Save time, AND wear and tear, sign me up!

My array has 24 drives, and one of the older ones is failing - we've had a couple of read errors on it, and basically it's aged out (10+ years old)... I have dual parity (two 8tb drives). I have a somewhat faster (7200rmp, vs 5400) 8tb drive that I got a couple of weeks ago. Ideally, I'd like to replace one of the parity drives with the faster drive. I get that the speed may not be faster, esp since the other drive isn't matched. However, figured next drive I get would be a 7200 to replace the other parity drive. Then, I'd like to use the old parity drive to replace the failing drive. How do I go about doing this? 1. Replace Parity Drive say Parity 1 with new drive, let parity rebuild. 2. Preclear the old parity drive 3. For replacing, follow [https://wiki.unraid.net/Replacing_a_Data_Drive] steps...? Anything I'm missing?

So I'm preparing to upgrade from Unraid 6.9.2 to 6.11.1 - given the many posts I saw here with folks having permissions issues with the dockers - just want to see if there's anything I need to do prior to upgrading? Or should I just upgrade and fix whatever after? Thoughts? Thanks!

hmm - not here yet .. sir. Is this the same problem that others reported with specific servers being slow?

Funny I started uploading a lot recently, as I'm moving to an area that doesn't offer symetrical Gig service... One day after I started uploading, I got the email that I was moved. I thought the increase in usage triggered it.

Anyone have a quick/dirty script to move the metadata from the g drive folders to local array? I foolishly didn't set the filters - and am now thinking it might be better to have all metadata local ... I imagine faster loading, but more importantly, avoiding the 400K objects in team drives.

Thanks! Will do.

Thanks will do!

Post #5 https://forum.rclone.org/t/google-oauth-migration-for-rclone/30545/5 That's from THE lead on rclone. seems it might not be a big deal.

Extended shows no error... rigel-smart-20220501-1014.zip

Attached - this was before the extended SMART, as soon as I got the error. I'll be running an extended now. Sorry - Yes, correcting. Disk 12 Errors SDO -diagnostics-20220428-2238.zip

Yes, it is. And result said zero errors.

So I had one disk show read errors during the monthly parity check. I'm guessing read errors are a bit different from write errors in that UnRaid doesn't disable the drive? What are my next steps here? Just move the files off this disk and replace the disk? It's the oldest one, going at 10 yrs, I think. So I have no problem getting rid of it.

Is it safe to delete the contents of rclone_cache ? I ended up with two of them (rclone_cache and rclone_cache_old) due to the way I initially setup my mounts. I'd like to delete the old one - but wasn't sure if it'll have some detrimental effect on my backend files. Thanks!

I'm a newb - but have you checked to see if the mouncheck files got created properly?

I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but sounds like it might be extracting directly to the rclone mount.

I'm finally joining the cool kids club! Is there a reason to have the upload script do this? as opposed to just having a path like /tower/local/downloads ?

I saw this - not sure if it's something we need to worry about... https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2022/01/14/serious-security-linux-full-disk-encryption-bug-fixed-patch-now/ on my server shows 2.3.4 the patched version is 2.4.3

I still haven't gotten it and am afraid also. Still waiting. I don't remember what I set on mine for the Oauth...

I'm in the same boat - but haven't received any email yet - wondering if waiting it out is best or if I should suck it up and do it.

I wonder if the bandaid answer is to have a script that runs before the upload and move the metadata to the array. Probably not the best solution though. Would've been great if MergerFS can orchestrate which files go to which folder.

I might have asked this before (can't seem to find it)... but are the exclusions on the upload script? Do you have something else to move them so that they are somewhere on the array - or do they basically stay in /local/ ? I have mergerFS joining my files from my Array: /mnt/user/Videos, Cache Drive: /mnt/user/local, and of course Rclone mount/cloud. Wondering if there's a way to force mergerFS to only copy certain files directly to /mnt/user/Videos.

Are you waiting at least 10 minutes before trying?

With ESXi 7, you can directly boot off the USB.

I used MC and went to each drive and created a \local\ folder - and moved any movies from whatever path they were at to the \local\ folder. so that you are moving within the disk.
