It seems to be working. I removed the new 14T external disk from the USB enclosure and used it to replace the old 4T drive inside the array. When the array started again, verified all attached disks are recognized by the syatem & bios, started a new config, assigned the old Disk3 slot to the newly installed disk (containing the same data as the removed disk), assigned parity to the old parity disk. Array re-started and parity sync now in progress for the next 1.5 days ..

Thanks. My situation is Disk11 is currently in the array as an external USB disk, and I want to remove that from the array first. Since I have no more internal slots available, I want to then take the Disk3 out and put in the drive from the external USB into that slot. Seems like I have to do multiple new configs here? p.s: Unbalanced plugin does both move and copy it seems. It gives you which option to move forward with. I picked copy thinking it'd be faster and safer in my situation.

Seeking advice on my situation described below .. Goal: Replace Array Disk3 4T (rfs) with a new 14T disk and change FS to xfs. Steps followed so far: 1. Added new 14T disk using "Unassigned Devices" plugin and precleard using "Unassigned Devices Preclear". 2. Stopped the array and added the new 14T disk into the array as "Disk11". 3. Started the array and formated Disk11 as "xfs" during mount. 4. Used "Unbalanced" plugin to "copy" all data from Disk3(rfs) to Disk11(xfs). 5. Stopped the array, changed Disk3 FS to "xfs" and started with reformat. 6. Used "Unbalanced" plugin again to "copy" all data back into Disk3 (now xfs) from Disk11(xfs). At this point both Disk3 (4T) and Disk11 (14T) are in the array having the same FS and both containing identical data. Now I want to remove Disk3(4T) from the array completely and replace that slot with Disk11 (14T). What's the best and safest way to do this?

Apparently, it does both. I picked the "Copy" option, and I see it's doing just that.

Thanks. I did just that and started the data copy from the smaller drive to the other. I'm using the Unbalanced plugin and it's showing about 1 day to "copy" 4T of data! I'll wait and see ..

Thanks. Do I have to click the X mark and "Clear Disk" before I get the "mount" button? (Currently greyed out) (See screenshot) I plan to add this disk to the array later to replace a smaller drive and that's why I thought of preclearing it. But now it appears "clear disk" will remove the pre-clear signature and unraid will "go through the lengthy perocess of clearing it again"when I add this to arary later. All I want to do now is to copy data from the smaller drive in the array into this so that I can change the file system of that drive from RSF to xfs and copy data back. After that I want to replace that smaller drive in the array with this one. My understanding is copy data this way is the only way to change FS since I don't have any space left in the array and no extra drive bays. Any suggestions?

I successfully precleared an unassigned disk attached via USB but after that I don't see an option to mount it. Used the unassigned devices plugin.. what am I doing wrong here? I wanted to mount this outside the array and copy data from an array disk into it so that I can change the file system on the array disk and copy the data back into it.

Thanks. Yes I picked up a PCIE Network card at a local store and got my connection back up and running. Had to switch the new network port to "eth0" at the network settings and do a reboot to make it work. USB 2 Ethernet adapter worked OK but found it to be too slow so removed it.

I did a hard shutdown, attach an external monitor to the server, attach the network cable to the original motherboard ethernet port and re-started the server in the GUI mode. Once this was up I see "no network activity" on the main page of UNRAID GUI. Attached below is the generated a diagnostic at that point. Is my main Ethernet port really dead? P:S: The USB to Ethernet adapter shows network activity if I connect the network cable to that and do a reboot. darkfleet-diagnostics-20240814-1913.zip

Thanks! Is it possible my Ethernet connection got disabled by unraid somehow and can possibly be re-enabled? This went down in the middle of a library scan with the Emby docker. Also is there a way to safely reboot my server as I don't have access to the GUI over the network now? (I plugged in a USB to Ethenet adapter to the running server, but it didn't help it showing up on my LAN. I suspect I need to re-boot?)

Hi guys, My Unraid server Motherboard has a single Ethernet port which I'm using to connect to my LAN and access the server from elsewhere in the house. Everything has been stable for a long time and yet this afternoon the Ethernet port stopped working suddenly so I'm no longer able to access the server. (I confirmed that it's not my Wall network connection or the network cable at fault). I have extra USB3.0 ports on my motherboard so I'm wondering if I could get some USB to Ethernet adapter to get around this problem... Would that work? If so, what would be a compatible adapter? Appreciate any other suggestions to get me back up.

Wow! I was having this same issue for years and this solved it completely!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Hi folks, Has any of you here using jellyfin DLNA server running on unraid and successfully able to cast files and play on a OPPO-203 client? I have jellyfin installed and running on my unraid server (network type = Host) with DLNA server enabled and running. My OPPO-203 can see the jellyfin server. I can browse media files from OPPO and play on TV. However, from my iphone/ipad jellyfin app when I select "Play On OPPO UDP-203 - DLNA", TV screen blinks for a second and goes right back to OPPO main screen. On my app it seems to indicate the file is playing on OPPO (media file play counter is running). I don't have any other media servers running on unraid. (removed plex to avoid conficts with jellyfin) Jellyfin logs looks like below ..

Thanks! Thanks to the above discussion thread, I was able to resolve this by simply deleting the windows credentials for //server_name via control panel.

Hello folks I have been accessing my unraid server shares via mapped network locations on my windows10 PC (add network locations) and today I lost my access suddenly. Prior to this I was experimenting adding a new share to my unraid box (via webgui) making it private and trying to give access to that share to a newly created user. I then deleted both the user and that empty share. After this experiment my windows10 PC no longer seem to be able to access my existing server shares as network locations anymore. (It says Windows cannot access \\server_name\share). What could have gone wrong here? p.s: It seems I can only access the shares as \\ip_address\share now.
