    Since you haven't restored the files that were on cache from the backups then possibly all the missing shares are in those backups. The user shares are simply the top level folders on cache and array. If the folders for the shares don't exist, then the shares don't exist. Maybe the folders for the shares are in your backups.

    Looks like your cache pool has been formatted.

    Do you mean format it to xfs then preclear it? Why format it at all if you are going to clear it?

    Me either but the original question seems a bit confused. What does your appdata folder have to do with the size of a plex movie folder? These should be completely different ideas.

    Wer there actually any transfers going on during the short time between rebooting and getting those diagnostics?

    Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any mention of a NIC or whether or not your ethernet port is lit or other things you might have tried to troubleshoot your ethernet connection, cables, ports, etc. You must have an ethernet connection to your router, wifi not supported.

    The plugin only works with things you delete over the network with SMB. It is basically using a built-in feature of SMB.

    Parity does not contain any files, it is not a backup. When you start after adding parity it will build parity. It won't move any files, why should it? Parity is a very common concept in computers and communications, and it is basically the same idea wherever it is used. Parity is just an extra bit that allows a missing bit to be calculated from all the other bits. The contents of a missing disk can be calculated from parity PLUS all other disks. Dual parity allows 2 missing disks to be calculated.

    Other reasons people seem to lose user shares include unmountable disks and incorrect permissions on /mnt/user
  10. trurl
    Just so nobody gets confused. The user shares are at /mnt/user

    Regardless of your choice, you need backups. You must always have another copy of anything important and irreplaceable. You must stop the array to make any change to disk assignments. What advantage do you think hot swap would give? A backup of Flash, or just the config folder on Flash, are all you need to keep everything about your configuration. Unraid is not RAID and RAID controllers are not recommended.

    When using Fill-up allocation, or even just when you have disks that are very full, it is especially important to understand the Minimum Free setting. Unraid has no way to know how large a file will become when it chooses a disk for it. If a disk has more than Minimum, the disk can be chosen, even if the file won't fit. You should set Minimum Free to larger than the largest file you expect to write to the share.

    I see you edited the first post and put diagnostics there. It is OK to do that, but make sure you make a new post with any new content such as diagnostics, so they won't be overlooked. We have no way to know when you edit a previous post without looking back at old posts.

    No point in doing this, the physical disk hasn't been repaired, only the emulated disk. Rebuild will make the physical disk match the emulated disk.

    Could you post a new diagnostic with the array started? Just want to make sure everything is mountable, including the emulated disk3. In the meantime and while waiting for further response, read this: https://wiki.unraid.net/The_parity_swap_procedure

    On mobile now so haven't looked at Diagnostics, but from what has already been said you need to replace that disk. Of course that is the whole point of parity, rebuilding the content of a failed disk to a new one. Do you know how to proceed?
  17. trurl
    Start with trying to get the emulated disk7 mountable. See here: https://wiki.unraid.net/Check_Disk_Filesystems#Checking_and_fixing_drives_in_the_webGui

    Can you access the webUI from the server itself if you boot in GUI mode?
  19. trurl
    Is your 4TB drive failing or questionable, or are you just wanting to upsize? Parity swap isn't necessary for healthy disks, you can just replace parity, then after parity is rebuilt, just replace the data disk with the former parity disk and let it rebuild. You might still want to do it the parity swap way, but just be aware that your array is offline during the parity copy part of the procedure, since parity cannot be allowed to change while it is being copied.

    You must enable "destructive mode" in UD+ settings to allow formatting. I think this is explained in the first post of this support thread. You should always read the first post in any support thread before posting questions 😉
  21. trurl
    According to your screenshot the disks haven't been formatted so there is no partition for the "plus symbol" to refer to and nothing to mount. UD+ is required if you want to format these as Unassigned Devices.

    If you look in your diagnostics in system/ifconfig.txt you can see the IP address of your server. Is that as expected?
  23. trurl
    Did that ever work for you? Doesn't work for me, at least not from another machine on the lan. tower.local might work if your server is named tower, but localhost doesn't make sense except from localhost (the same machine). Did you take those diagnostics from the command line or from the webUI on localhost?

    Just noticed you posted this in the legacy (V5 and older) section of the forum. I am moving have moved it to General Support.

    Just a note about the forum software. In order to successfully ping anyone, you must begin typing the @ followed by characters from the username, and then you must actually make a selection from the choices. Like this: @MrT Your Unraid disks can be read from any Linux.
