    I expected Disk 1 to be, since I haven't yet formatted it.

    Don't even think of that word.

     

    Format is NEVER part of rebuild.

     

    Format is a write operation. It writes an empty filesystem to the disk. If you format a disk in the array, Unraid treats that write operation just as it does any other, by updating parity. So after formatting a disk in the array, the only thing that can be rebuilt is an empty filesystem.

    disk7 being unmount able problem is my solution just going to be reformat

    No. Several approaches possible. Usually repair the emulated filesystem. If the results look good, rebuild. Otherwise see if the physical disk contents look better and New Config it back into the array. Or some combination where you repair then rebuild to a new disk, and use the original to recover any files if necessary.

     

    Before doing anything, it would be best to get those disks connected without USB.

    So far the only step I have taken is to reboot the machine to no avail.

    Reboot will never fix this.

     

    Fortunately, previous syslog was saved and is in those diagnostics.

     

    You were having connection problems with many disks. Those just happened to be the 2 disks that got disabled first because they couldn't be written and you can't have more than 2 disable disks.

     

    SMART for both disabled disks looks fine, a small number of reallocated on parity nothing to worry about. And as mentioned, not really disk problems.

     

    Disabled/emulated disk7 is unmountable though so that will have to be taken care of before rebuilding.

     

    Also looks like you have corruption on disk1, but perhaps that is because it can't really be read.

     

    Looks like you are trying to use USB for many of your disks. USB not recommended for assigned disks for many reasons, including the disconnections that caused all this.

     

  4. Not related, but I see you have your docker.img in /mnt/cache/docker.

     

    However, any folder at the top level of array or pools is automatically a user share. So that is part of a user share named "docker". Similarly for your default appdata folder.

     

    Your appdata share is correctly configured to stay on cache, so that's OK.

     

    But your docker share is configured to be moved to the array, and it has files on the array.

     

    We can look at that more closely after you get disk1 rebuilt. I will have more to say about that in my next post after I examine diagnostics more.

  5. 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?

    I tried Dynamix File Manager but it wouldt delete it.

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
