Do you mean you want to let Unraid access a share on your laptop? The usual way to mount a network share in Unraid is with the Unassigned Devices plugin. How are you trying to do it?

I didn't push the Delete button to see what would happen, but it looks like if you just browse to the top level of a pool it will let you select any folder and the Delete button is enabled. How did you try to do it?

Mini PCs in general are not good platforms for NAS functionality.

I don't know why that wouldn't work, must be some attempt to keep users from easily doing the wrong thing. I notice it won't let you create a folder at the top level of pool or array disk either, since that would create a user share and it's better to do that explicitly from the User Shares page. I guess you will have to go to the command line for that.

Probably a typo. Disk3 rebuild was compromised by bad parity. Check filesystem on disk3 from the webUI not the command line. Post the output.

Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

If you just move appdata from one pool to the other, it will merge them. If there are duplicates, it will ask if you want to replace. I don't expect duplicates though assuming all your containers only reference /mnt/user/appdata instead of /mnt/cache/appdata, for example.

A NAS is already Network Attached Storage, so you wouldn't really be using Unraid for NAS. You would typically put Unraid on your network, and other devices on your network such as a NAS. They wouldn't be "attached" to each other, they would be on the same network. Unraid can access files on other devices on your network. You could use Unraid for containers and VMs, and setup a plex container, for example, and have it access its media from another device on your network.

Probably simpler to use Dynamix File Manager and take care of it yourself. Nothing can move or delete open files so you will have to Disable Docker in Settings to work with appdata. If I understand what you did, probably everything on the new pool is new so there shouldn't be any duplicates.

Diagnostics is a zip file. Your computer must have automatically unzipped it for you. Nobody is going to download those separate attachments. Please try again.

You have to specify which server to send the syslog to. Put the IP address of your Unraid server in the Remote syslog server field.

It would have started the rebuild after you reassigned the disk, or assigned a replacement. That is the correct procedure. It was out-of-sync. It was disabled because a write to it failed and it had been emulated since then. That failed write and any subsequent writes to it were emulated and rebuild is the only way to recover those emulated writes. The only other way to get the array back in sync is to New Config and rebuild parity, but parity was not the problem. Not clear the rebuild completed, but it might not be noticeable if you rebuilt to the same disk because any sector it hadn't rebuilt yet would still have whatever data was there before and maybe it was OK.

In your earlier diagnostics, unraiddata.cfg contains # Share exists on ingestion_cache, disk1, disk2, disk3 # Generated settings: shareComment="..." shareInclude="disk1,disk2,disk3,disk4,disk5,disk6,disk7,disk8,disk9,disk10,disk11" shareExclude="" shareUseCache="yes" shareCachePool="ingestion_cache" shareCOW="auto" shareAllocator="fillup" shareSplitLevel="" shareFloor="100000000" shareExport="e" shareCaseSensitive="auto" shareSecurity="public" shareReadList="" shareWriteList="" shareVolsizelimit="" shareExportNFS="e" shareExportNFSFsid="100" shareSecurityNFS="public" shareHostListNFS="" So perhaps it is fixed now if it doesn't show anything in shareInclude. Do a new scan with Fix Common Problems and post new diagnostics.

I guess we can just let that go or you can restate it more clearly. This is the text where I was trying for clarification on what you meant by "that". I don't see how "that" can refer to anything except a specific user share.

How do you intend to use Unraid? That system wouldn't be appropriate for any NAS functionality. USB not recommended for assigned disks for many reasons.

Were you rebuilding to the same disk or a replacement?

You neglected to mention you were rebuilding disk6 when all this happened. Mar 18 16:07:59 tower kernel: md: recovery thread: recon D6 ...

Probably default Highwater Allocation hasn't gotten to it yet since it is so small. DIsk5 is disconnected (or maybe dead), which is the reason it got disabled and the reason there is no SMART report for it. Looks like you may have some corruption on disk6 as well. Disk2 is probably too bad to allow for a good rebuild of disk5, so maybe we can see if disk5 is good enough and then manipulate things so we can rebuild disk2 instead. You should be seeing SMART ( 👎 ) warnings on the Dashboard page for disk2, maybe this has been going on for a while and you didn't notice. Do you have Notifications setup to alert you immediately by email or other agent as soon as a problem is detected? Do you have another copy of anything important and irreplaceable? Parity is not a substitute for backups. Shut down, check connections, both ends, SATA and power. Then reboot and post new diagnostics to see if we get a SMART report for disk5.

I don't see SMART report for disabled disk5 so no way to know its health, but emulated disk5 is mounted and seems to have its data. Disk7 is empty or nearly so but maybe it is new. Which disk is that?

Do you mean syslog server didn't work for you? Or do you mean there was nothing in the resulting syslog that seemed to explain your problem?

dynamix.unraid.net.plg - 2023.09.08.0637 (Unknown to Community Applications) This is no longer supported. Uninstall and get Unraid Connect Also, install Fix Common Problems, it might tell you (and us) if you have some unnoticed problems. Unbalanced should run as root so I don't know why there would be permission problems. @fletch8527 Maybe because your system share has some files on the array. Disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings and see if you can clean that up with Dynamix File Manager.

Basically you just need to move all the data from one of those to other disks in the array, then New Config to get your disks assigned as you want. Unbalanced is probably going to be the simplest way to automate that. You could do it manually with Dynamix File Manager. I haven't used Unbalanced but I think it should work fine. If you are having problems maybe ask on its support thread. You can go directly to the support thread for any of your plugins from its link on the Plugins page of your Unraid webUI.

If you want to keep the data. So the files on both of those disks would not fit on just one of them. Some would have to go to free space on other disks. More information might suggest more specific ideas. Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.
