    missing array list of disks in Dashboard

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by swamiforlife

    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.

    Existing Server + New Config process will the array be usable during parity build?

    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?

     

    Cache Pool SSD mistake made

    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?

     

     

    Delete files from Disk directly instead of deleting from Shares

    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.
