    (Solved) Disk replacement lost files

    in General Support

    You formatted disk1, the one you were replacing.

    I formatted the new disk..with serial number ending in K3HDVAJB, correct?

     

    So the parity/data-rebuild took 10+ hours, and I formatted a new drive before that process, yet I still lost the files. I'm confused how that happened. I did receive a warning before the format, but I didn't do the data-rebuild yet...so no data was on the drive yet, right?

    What do you do with stored photos?

    Mostly my family just likes to look at the photos and if they want some downloaded, I upload them to Google Drive. 

     

    Since my family all have a phone, tablet, TV, PC, etc, on which they can download a Plex app, I guess that works for us but may not for those who have not been "Plexified" or don't want to be. 😀

    That's a good idea. Also, you're right. It's easy enough to download the Plex app. I suppose the holidays would be a good time to show relatives how to download and use it.

    I have a subset of our photos in their own cache-only user share, where they can be used by other devices on my network as wallpapers or screensavers without spinning any of my disks.

     

    I have a wallpaper changer on our desktop that randomly changes to a new picture every hour. It can be fun to see those old photos and try to remember where they were taken.

     

    Most of those photos are landscapes from our many travel adventures.

    That's a nice idea too.

     

    I looked into Nix, mentioned earlier in this thread, and stumbled across DAKboard, which essentially is a monitor with a custom dashboard to display photos, etc. There's a monthly fee though. From there, I found MagicMirror - an open source smart mirror platform. I created a docker on unraid to test it out. Here's an example of one that displays pictures.

    Plex makes it easy to access them from anywhere.  Since I have shared my Plex libraries with family members, they can access them under their own credentials.

    I share my Plex library too, however, not all of my relatives have Plex. Also, Plex doesn't allow "friends" to download the photos.

    Other than just making sure we have multiple copies backed up - we use a Nix to display them.  You could do it yourself with an RPi or something, but I didn't want to work that hard.

    These looks nice. I like this idea as well, although I went down the rabbit hole of creating this myself...

    We have them organized in a Plex Photo library.  They can be easily accessed and displayed on the many devices on which we have Plex clients installed.

    I should do this at a minimum too. I did have Lychee up and running for a while but I didn't like the idea of using 2-3x space for each picture for thumbnails, etc. Also, Lychee doesn't (or didn't) have multiple users, so I had to share the credentials out.

    For future reference, diagnostics already includes SMART for all attached disks (as well as your syslog), so no need to post them separately.

     

    I encourage you to take a look at diagnostics sometime. It is just folders of text files and you can probably understand some of it.

    I figured it was included. Just added the screenshots for convenience.

     

    I took a look at the diagnostics. I do understand some of it, but glad to receive input from more experienced users too.

    I'm curious what people are doing with photos they store on unraid.

     

    Many years ago, prior to unraid, I lost a number of photos from an international trip. Since then, I've made sure to follow the 3-2-1 backup strategy.

     

    Now that they are properly backed up, I'm wondering what to do with them. It seems like they just sit in their share and go about untouched.

     

    So - if you use unraid to store family/trip photos, what do you do with them, if anything?

    I don't know if I would call Norco cases 'high quality' there is a ton of plastic in them and their drive trays leave a lot to be desired, not to mention the loud cheap fans they include with their cases. For more money I would go with a Supemicro case, sure they cost more, but you get real quality compared to other brands.

    Why such a big case? Would you recommend a short depth chassis?

     

    EDIT: This has been recommended on Reddit, but curious if any Supermicro cases exist.

    Alright. So I was able to change the max map count by running the command as root.

     

    Next issue is this:

    [1]: max file descriptors [40960] for elasticsearch process is too low, increase to at least [65536]

     

    Did you come across this issue? If so, how did you address it?

    You can definitely do this,

    Any commands you want to run after a reboot can be put in /boot/config/go

    The server will run the go script at startup. There's obviously another few ways to achieve - like the CA User Scripts idea above.

    You can modify the routing table directly via commands such as: 

    
ip route add 192.168.0.0/16 via 192.168.1.111

    I'm not at my machine right now but I believe you can also use files with the name route-eth# to define routes for an interface - should be placed at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

    So you could make a file called route-eth0 - put your desired routes in it - save to /boot/config/route-eth0 and in your go file just copy the file into place. However, you'd need to check if this worked after a reboot because the network might need cycling afterwards. The commands route or ip r might help too.

     

     

    The command doesn't seem to work properly.

    I receive the following message:

     

    Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.

    You may need to install those python modules that are listed in the import statements.  Some may be included in the default python install but some may not.

     

    import socket

    import collections

    import time

    import json

    import os

    import sys

    from typing import Tuple, Mapping, Iterable

    import requests

     

    You can also try adding your path to python in the top line.

     

    Default for most installs is #!/usr/bin/python.  I'm not sure what it is for unraid.

     

    Also try running your script as "python /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/influx_nut/script" instead of just calling the script directly.

    Thanks

     

    I added the path to python in the top line and it ran. However, there is a syntax error on line 64.

      

    def __init__(self, measurement, fields, tags: dict = {},
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

    I'm looking into this now in case anyone else is interested.

    @RAINMAN - if you happen to know how to fix this please let me know

    I'd bet it should work, although I think Unraid is missing the python interpreter, because I saw it in "Nerd Tools" plugin.  If you don't have the Nerd Tools plugin already, I would download that plugin and from there install Python - afterwards try your script again.

    Yep. Forgot to mention I have Nerd Tools and have Python3 and Python installed.

     

    Tried running it but ran into a number of command errors. Looks like its not able to run even though python is installed...

    Interesting. If people are finding my docker semi-useful, I'll have to devote some time into making it work better and more seamlessly. I'll pick this project back up and continue developing on it. Pull requests are always welcome!

    Yes! People (myself included) are definitely finding this docker useful. Let me know how I can help...even if its just testing..

    The only things that do persist across reboot are those things that the unraid GUI / Config files allow you to tweak. 

    Maybe this is a bug then? The changes are made on the Network Settings page of the GUI. It's nice being able to add them there, the only issue is they don't persist.

     

    Perhaps someone from unraid can confirm if this is a bug or could be a feature request...

     

    EDIT: Also thanks to everyone for the help so far
