trurl's post in Moving from a Single Drive to Multiple in the Future with UNRAID was marked as the answerYou can have a single drive, but you won't have any redundancy until you have at least 2 drives. Normally, HDDs go in the Unraid array, with one disk as parity.
Lots more detailed information in the Unraid Docs linked at the top of the page.
Or just ask here if you have some specific questions.

trurl's post in Hard Drives wont stay spinned down was marked as the answerYour appdata and system shares have files on the array. These files are usually always open. You have these shares configured to put new files on cache, but existing files on the array won't be moved because there is no Mover action because there is no Secondary.
Also, nothing can move open files so you have to disable Docker in Settings before these can be moved.

trurl's post in corrupted USB, rebuilding array help. Key migration. was marked as the answerconfig folder on flash contains all of your configuration, and is all you need to get all of your configuration going again on a new install.
config/super.dat is your array assignments, config/pools folder is your pools.
config/pro.key is your license. After you boot you will have to do a license transfer to the new flash in Tools - Registration.

The boot device is critical to your Unraid server as it stores the operating system, configuration files, and license. (For typical USB installs this is a USB flash drive; with internal boot it is ano -

trurl's post in Docker dysfunctional after upgrade from 7.3.0 to 7.3.1 was marked as the answerYour pool (named "pool") doesn't exist, and appdata is configured to only use that pool. Also, "pool" might not be a good name for a pool.
Your system share is on the array, better if it were on a pool.
USB not recommended for assigned disks for many reasons.

trurl's post in What is the rational behind choosing Cache as Primary by default if it originated from Array ... was marked as the answerI have reproduced this behavior on 7.3 by using the command line to create a top level folder on disk1. It results in a new share. The settings for that share show Primary:cache; Secondary:none. However, no .cfg file is created for that share. And, if I create a folder in that test share, it is created on cache.
This is not the way it is supposed to work.

trurl's post in Unraid 7.3.0 | All Shares Unavailable was marked as the answerMore likely a problem with cache, since /mnt/user0 was mounted, but /mnt/user was not mounted.

trurl's post in App Data Backup is creating a share, and it has streams and app data doesen't was marked as the answerNot only has it created a user share, but it is going to create another user share next time it runs, named ab_whatever_date_time.
What is the Backup Destination you have set in the plugin? You must have told it to store it directly to a pool or array disk.
User shares are simply the combined top level folders on array and pools. If you create a top level folder on array or pool it is automatically a user share named for the folder.
Backup Destination needs to be a path to a user share you create for the purpose, or a subfolder of a user share you already have.
Where do you see this?

trurl's post in Why did the 7.3.0 update come up with Onboarding when booted? was marked as the answerThe onboarding wizard is new for 7.3. There is another wizard for setting up internal boot.

trurl's post in New Parity Drive shows offline was marked as the answerDid you rebuild after you made that change? Parity will remain disabled until it is successfully rebuilt.
-
trurl's post in Replacing failed disk gone wrong was marked as the answerParity doesn't contain any of your data of course. It just allows the data from a missing disk to be calculated from all the other disks. And format doesn't completely wipe out every trace of the original disks data from the array. It just writes an empty filesystem to the disk, and parity agrees the disk has an empty filesystem after that.
But maybe if we make it emulated and rebuild it from parity, even though the result would be an empty filesystem, all the rest of the bits from the original data would still be there and UFS Explorer might be able to recover some of it.

trurl's post in Mover not moving files from cache to the array was marked as the answerLooks like your Downloads share is fixed now.
I guess you will have to delete media.cfg file in config/shares on your flash drive, then apply settings to your Media share.

trurl's post in Flashdrive corrupted or offline message. was marked as the answerWhat could it hurt? If the flash drive can't be reused you will have to do a license transfer.
Might be some useful "flash drive" research for you to do here:
https://forums.unraid.net/topic/196967-unraid-boot-device-guide-usb-and-nvme-hardware-selection/
Also, Unraid v7.3 (currently beta) allows for "internal boot", which doesn't require a flash drive:

trurl's post in Upgrading from Unraid 7.2.3 to Unraid 7.2.4 Plugin failed to install was marked as the answerLooks like your flash drive is read-only. Put it in your PC and checkdisk. Or reformat and restore from your flash backup.

trurl's post in change docker image brtfs to xfs, can't figure out nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer was marked as the answerWhat I've noticed examining some diagnostics is xfs img is named docker-xfs.img. So maybe both exist as separate files.
-
trurl's post in Unraid 7.2.4 stopped responding. Hard reboot, now all Dockers, Plugins and Shares are just.... Gone. was marked as the answerDisks and pools are mounted, user shares are not. But something is trying to access user shares, perhaps too early. Perhaps some rogue plugin, you have a large number of plugins.
