trurl's post in freezing when I start array was marked as the answerIf you disable Docker in Settings can you start the array?
-
trurl's post in Dual Parity and Data Disk Upgrade - Parity Swap Needed? was marked as the answerEach parity disk must be at least as large as any single data disk. So, you can't have a 4TB parity disk with a 16TB data disk.
Personally, I don't think you have enough disks to warrant dual parity.

trurl's post in Mover refuses to move files from Cache to Disks (SOLVED) was marked as the answerDelete the .cfg file for that share, then configure it again from the webUI.
Linux is case sensitive, so make sure you don't have a docker or something else configured to reference it with the wrong case.
-
trurl's post in My drives keep being disabled was marked as the answerYou either rebuild the disabled disk, or New Config and rebuild parity. Those are the only ways to get the array in sync again.
The disk was disabled because a write to it failed. That write, and any subsequent writes to the emulated disk, can be recovered by rebuilding the disk. If instead, you rebuild parity, those writes would be lost.
So, rebuilding the disabled disk is preferred over rebuilding parity.

trurl's post in SOLVED - Unexpected clean shutdown every couple of hours, UPS? was marked as the answerYes, apcupsd is shutting the system down after power loss.
You are using your UPS incorrectly though.
The purpose of UPS isn't to allow you to run on battery. The purpose of UPS is to allow clean shutdown when power is lost.
UPS should allow system to keep running during very brief loss of power, but shutdown if power loss is not very brief.
You should set "Time on battery before shutdown". 120 seconds or even less.

trurl's post in Swapping HDD bay positions and exchanging storage for parity was marked as the answerYou mentioned the number of bays but not the number of drives. With 16 drives you should consider dual parity.
Unraid keeps track of disk assignments by drive serial number, assuming the controller passes that information. RAID controllers or USB may not.
If you want to reassign a data disk as a parity disk you will have to copy the data from it.
Then New Config will let you assign any drives as you wish and build parity on any drives assigned to parity slots.

trurl's post in Upgrade Dockerapps Disk was marked as the answerLooks like you decided to deviate from the "standard" way to setup docker.
DOCKER_IMAGE_FILE="/mnt/dockerapps/docker.img" DOCKER_APP_CONFIG_PATH="/mnt/dockerapps/"This means your docker.img is not actually in any user share since it is at the top level of the pool. And it means that if you don't specify "appdata" or some other user share, the appdata path for a new container may default to the top level of that pool also, which might mean a new container would create a new user share for its appdata.
That is not sufficient. You must disable Docker in Settings before you try to work with these files.

trurl's post in Built-In Copy Method Safe for Moving Data to Array? (7.1.4) was marked as the answerThe warnings are about moving/copying between array (or pool ) and user shares. This is because Linux doesn't know that user shares are just another view of the disks and pools, and so it might try to overwrite what it is trying to read.
MC or Krusader could let you make this mistake. The built-in file manager won't let you make this mistake.
Also, Unassigned Devices are not part of the array, pools, or user shares, so not affected by this at all.
The initial burst of speed is due to ram buffering. The slower speed you experienced is typical of array writes, since parity is updated at the same time. Turbo mode might help. See here for more about how array writes are done:

trurl's post in Unable to have Pool utilize Cache 2 was marked as the answerDefault for pool is btrfs raid1, which is a mirror with total size equal to the smallest drive. If you want to use the total combined size of the drives you must switch the pool to single mode.
-
trurl's post in Once parity drives now gone was marked as the answerParity doesn't mount since it has no filesystem. If it shows as an option to assign and stays assigned that is what you want.
-
trurl's post in Persistent permission changes on /dev/video devices was marked as the answer/dev, like all Unraid OS folders, is in RAM, and so doesn't persist.
You can use the User Scripts plugin to run a script to reapply this change after boot.
-
trurl's post in 2nd Cache Drive was marked as the answerDefault is mirror so that looks OK if that is what you want. Mirror size is displayed on the first line of the pool.
-
trurl's post in Array setup, new disk (used space) was marked as the answerNormal.
Filesystem overhead.
-
trurl's post in All data gone after "New Config" was marked as the answerIf you start in maintenance mode, no disks are mounted, so no shares or anything else is accessible.
Start in normal (not maintenance) mode and post new diagnostics.
-
trurl's post in Unexplained Parity Sync Read Errors was marked as the answerAll disks are involved in parity sync. Possibly a power problem?
-
trurl's post in Permissions issue on new folders created by Torrent / Transmission was marked as the answerBe sure you don't run New Permissions on appdata.
Edit settings.json in your transmission appdata and set the umask to 000

trurl's post in Disks keep on dieing, but only in unraid was marked as the answerAssuming you haven't done anything including rebooting since those diagnostics:
Original BAD disk1 is the source disk, sdg
New destination disk is sdc
So the command is
ddrescue -f /dev/sdg /dev/sdc /boot/ddrescue.log
