are these drives still for sale?

I guess then i will just create a separate vlan for the unraid server and then only have the file servers be able to communicate with the Unraid Vlan.

Does Unraid OS have a built-in firewall?

That is working fine for me. But i dont want other users on the network to probe or see that this server exists. But maybe i am over analyzing the situation.

Hello, Is there any way i can restrict access to Unraid shares to only a few specific IP addresses on my network? We use this at our work for backups and i dont want everyone to be able to see or access the shares.

I finally had time to restart the server. The problem is solved.

I will try restarting the server and see if that helps

@JorgeB Toggling doesn't bring it back.

Screenshots are attached

All the boxes are checked already and still not showing

I am using Unraid 6.12.3 and on the Dashboard page under the array widget it does not show the list of disks in the array anymore. It used to when i upgraded to 6.12.3 but all of sudden it is not working. What could be the solution? Attached is an image of what it used to look like. I have tried different browsers and clearing the cache but still not working. Only thing I haven't done is to restart the server.

I have an existing Unraid array with dual parity and 28 data disks. I am going to use the new config tool to replace the dual parity disks with larger ones and change 4 data disks to larger ones. With the new config tool the parity will be rebuilt. So will the array be usable during this parity rebuild process? Also will i we able to use my existing virtual machines during the rebuild?

I have an array of 28 Data disks and 2 parity disks. Both parity disks are 16tb. I want to replace both with 20TB drives. Also. i have a 4x 10TB data disks that i want to replace with 4x new 16TB drives (not the current parity drives) The data on the existing 4x 10TB disks is not important because it has been copied to other data disks in the array. So, if i use the new config tool to replace the parity disks and the 4x data disks at the same time, will that be allowed. I understand that there will be no parity protection while the new parity is being built. But can all these changes be made at once? Also will my existing shares remain intact?

@JorgeB Thanks, i understand now. But i think it would be nice if there was an option in UnRaid to use TiB instead of TB. It makes it easier to deal with storing and planning out storage when copying data from WIndows or other TiB os'es.

I have an unraid array with 18tb drives. Each drive is listed as 17.9TB free. The same drive in windows once formatted shows free as 16.3TB. So why do the drives in Unraid show so much free space? Is that the correct or should look at it in a different way? All the drives in my array are formatted using XFS

I have a few windows file servers. I want to sync all the file data from multiple servers to unraid as nightly backups. What is the best plugin to manage all the sync/backup jobs from within Unraid? GUI is preferred.

Can use something like Krusader and move the disk img of the vm to the 2nd cache pool.? After that I would just edit the vm settings and point the disk image to the new location. Will this work? I will keep the specific vm off.

I have a all my vm's on a cache pool single ssd. I want to move a few of those vm's to another ssd in a different cache pool. How can i do this?

Thanks worked out perfectly.

Hello, I am running Unraid 6.10.3. I had a single 800gb ssd as my cache drive which stored my VM's. I added another 2tb ssd and added as a 2nd drive in my pool. So i ended up having a pool of 2 devices. That was the mistake. I wanted to create a 2nd pool in order to have both my ssd's to be separate pools. Now there is a btrfs operation running and i cannot stop the array to fix my mistake. How should i proceed so that i dont lose the data on my original pool cache ssd? Since both ssd's in the single pool right now are of different size what type of RAID is setup automatically?

Backups of running vm are more efficient then having to turn the vm off and back on again. I will try veeam and see what happens.

I have a few critical virtual machines running on my unraid server. I am looking for a good daily backup solution for Unraid VM's. Would Veeam Community Edition be a good tool to use with Unraid? If not what other good options are available?

I have used unbalance to gather data and copy to another drive in the array. There is some data in specific disks that i don't need. So, is it safe to use a tool like Krusader to delete data directly from disks? The data is part of an existing share. So, by deleting from disks will it cause problems in the array or share? The whole goal of this is to empty out disks and replace them with bigger ones. I will be doing a new config.

I ran a few gather jobs. I am getting a yellow check sign next to some folders. What does that mean? Does it mean the file or folder was not copied? Does it mean that my data is corrupt? I checked the logs but this job was a couple days ago so the logs dont show the data for it. I tried opening some of the data and the files are opening fine from a windows pc.

@JorgeB Thanks for the help
