  1. trurl's post in Missing Home Assistant Docker was marked as the answer   
    Nothing obvious.
     
    (Probably) unrelated, but your appdata and system shares have files on the array. Why do you have 50G docker.img? Have you had problems filling it?
     
    You could try removing that container, then Apps - Previous Apps will let you reinstall it exactly as before.
  2. trurl's post in All Shares Deleted by Unraid - Advice Requested was marked as the answer   
    Probably filling cache as you did broke user shares. You may have to reboot to fix that.
  3. trurl's post in Existing drive showing up as new drive after SATA cable failure was marked as the answer   
    According to syslog, emulated disk2 mounted. SMART for disk2 looks fine.
     
    Rebuild is the correct thing to do now.
  4. trurl's post in GUI Mode black screen, although it worked once using another USB stick was marked as the answer   
    You need to use the same flash drive but configure it for legacy. You can do that from the webUI, Main - Boot Device - Flash - Syslinux Configuration, uncheck UEFI.
     
    Or just rename EFI folder on flash to EFI-

  6. trurl's post in No longer able to connect to Unraid Web GUI was marked as the answer   
    Looks like you have a bad flash drive. Do you have a backup?
  7. trurl's post in emergency!!! network settings! was marked as the answer   
    Put flash in PC, rename or delete config/network.cfg so it will use default settings.
  8. trurl's post in [SOLVED] parity check errors found was marked as the answer   
    Jan 29 10:39:42 shogun emhttpd: unclean shutdown detected ... Jan 29 10:40:03 shogun kernel: mdcmd (36): check nocorrect ... Jan 30 05:45:16 shogun kernel: md: sync done. time=68713sec Jan 30 05:45:16 shogun kernel: md: recovery thread: exit status: 0 Unclean shutdown automatic parity checks are non-correcting.
     
    Then you manually ran a correcting parity check which corrected the errors the non-correcting parity check found.

    Do you know why you had unclean shutdown?
  9. trurl's post in Redistribute data after changing Allocation settings? was marked as the answer   
    It doesn't redistribute the data, and you don't need it to. It will distribute the data as new data is written according to the settings for each share.
     
    Highwater is the default allocation method, a good compromise between using all disks eventually, without constantly switching disks just because one disk temporarily has more free than another.
  10. trurl's post in Best way to handle disk reporting smart errors after copy? was marked as the answer   
    Since there is some doubt about your parity, rebuilding to a new disk might not produce a good result, but since you presumably don't need the data on the disk now, I guess that is as good a way of proceeding as any. Disk1 has to be rebuilt, or parity has to be rebuilt. Assuming no other problems during rebuild, either way would get the array back in sync, and you could just reformat disk1 after the rebuild since its data has been copied off.
  11. trurl's post in /var/log is getting full was marked as the answer   
    Reseat controller(s). Check connections, both ends, SAS/SATA and power, including splitters.
  12. trurl's post in (SOLVED) Existing array: 2 x Unmountable disks present - bad primary superblock - bad sector size was marked as the answer   
    Run repair without -n
  13. trurl's post in Manual upgrade to 6.5.3 was marked as the answer   
    Use the Download link at top of the forum, replace all bz* files in the top folder of flash with those from the download.
  14. trurl's post in Time to biggify a drive in my array (again), and the CRC error I am faced with..what next? was marked as the answer   
    CRC errors are just connection problems recorded by the drive firmware, they won't reset to zero but a few occasionally are OK. If they are increasing you need to figure out what the connection problem is. Looks like that warning is referring to an Unassigned Device not seen in your screenshot, presumably the new drive.
     
    I usually don't bother with preclear but you can if you want. Rebuilding to that new disk will be a good test anyway, and as long as you have the original should be little risk.
     
    To rebuild to another disk, just assign it to the slot you are replacing and start the array.
     
     
  15. trurl's post in Newbie unable to assign disks on Main Page: just can't see how to do it was marked as the answer   
    Click on the drop down for the parity slot and select the disk you want to assign as parity. Similar for others. 
     
    If that doesn't help post a screenshot of Main 
  16. trurl's post in Server out of memory error was marked as the answer   
    Not sure what you mean by system file. I was talking about the system share, which is a folder on one or more disks. Ideally it would all be on fast storage (cache).
     
    If appdata and system are on the array, dockers/VMs won't perform as well due to slower array, and array disks can't spindown since these files are always open.
     
    Nothing can move open files. You have to disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings before these can be moved.
  17. trurl's post in Moving Servers - Cache Issue/help Needed! was marked as the answer   
    Flash it to IT mode. Best if you don't try to use RAID controllers with Unraid.
  18. trurl's post in ARRAY DISK - UNMOUNTABLE: NOT MOUNTED was marked as the answer   
    run check again without -n
  19. trurl's post in Cant enaable docker on unrid was marked as the answer   
    Until it is formatted, you have no storage to work with. Check the box to enable the Format button.
  20. trurl's post in Recreating Array from Old Disk was marked as the answer   
    You could New Config the original back into the array and rebuild parity.
  21. trurl's post in Server Down was marked as the answer   
    Looks like you started from a fresh install with only your license. 
    Could you tell us more details about that? Are you absolutely sure you assigned your disks correctly? Did it build parity?
     
    Do you have a flash backup? Your configuration is completely in the config folder on flash.
     
    Can't tell much else since you haven't started the array since rebooting before getting those diagnostics.
  22. trurl's post in (SOLVED) 6.9.2 - Drive disabled, help with SMART report please was marked as the answer   
    That looks OK but a medium error on that disk was logged earlier in syslog.
     
    Disabled disk5 has to be rebuilt. Unraid disables a disk when a write to it fails for any reason. It has to because the failed write makes it out-of-sync. After disabling, the disk isn't used again. Instead, all access to the disk is emulated from the parity calculation by reading parity and all other disks. That initial failed write, and any subsequent writes, are emulated by updating parity, and can be recovered by rebuilding.
     
    Emulated disk5 is mounted and is over half full, so looks like that is all working well.
     
    It's always safer to rebuild to a spare, and so keep the original just as it is in case there is any problem rebuilding. But it's probably OK to rebuild to the same disk if you don't have a spare.
     
     
  23. trurl's post in Share used disk not in allowed list was marked as the answer   
    Those user share settings only apply to new files. If that share already had files in other places you will have to move them yourself.
  24. trurl's post in Where do I set minimum free space for Cache? was marked as the answer   
    Since v6.9+ allows multiple pools, each pool has its own settings. Click on the first disk of the pool.
  25. trurl's post in Cosmetic curiosity was marked as the answer   
    yes
