Not sure if im in the right area of the forum but seemed the best section. I have been having annoying power outages at night and its upsetting my server. So im after a UPS that will run the server for say 60 seconds and then if power not restored shut down. Lots of options on amazon for £100 mark. Any particular brands play nicely with Unraid? any to avoid?

Check your lost+found share
There are Dozens and dozens of files with names. some contain missing files. Is there anyway of restoring these automatically or do i need to manually go through it all

Disk is mounting.
Yea its working ok now. Very strange.

Tried -L still saying unmountable
Edit, hadto start in non maintenance mode and it came back. Is it possible to see from my diag why this happened?

My server has restarted and im not sure why but I seem to be having issues with Disks,
Disk 1 is showing as unmountable on the main tab but showing as healthy on the Dashboard tab
Disk 3 is showing as missing but think its in unassigned devices. this is what i get when i try to XFS repairAny help most welcome
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... Log inconsistent (didn't find previous header) failed to find log head zero_log: cannot find log head/tail (xlog_find_tail=5) ERROR: The log head and/or tail cannot be discovered. Attempt to mount the filesystem to replay the log or use the -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair.

run the disk check filesystem again disk 4.
You are going to have to ultimately rebuild disk 4 onto itself (stop array, remove the drive from the list, start the array, stop the array, reassign the drive, start the array and rebuild)
have run it again and no change
OK thanks i have never built a drive back onto its self so will double check im doing everything right then give that a go. I have a feeling that the Sata expantion cards I am using are a bit pony.

So i have had a couple of drives fail, but disk 4 in my system is showing as unmountable in maintenance mode, done a quick check and it done a number of things but still showing as faulty (im fairly sure the disk is OK) attached is my diagnostics, if anyone could offer some advice im at a bit of a loss on this one,

It worked !!!
Thanks guys! really appreciate the knowledge. seems it was Disk 4 itimpi said! disk 4 had quite a lot of corrections to make the rest where very quick. Is there a reason why this happens? Is the disk in need of replacement? saves me driving to pickup the off site backup so really am thankful!Interested to know a little more of the cause of the corruption.

A bit earlier you were also getting file system corruption reported on disk1 so you may want to check that one as well. Wold not do any harm to check all disks while you are at it
OK there is a load of text its generated (way too much to copy paste here) including list of files etc. but it does have this at the end
No modify flag set, skipping phase 5 Inode allocation btrees are too corrupted, skipping phases 6 and 7 No modify flag set, skipping filesystem flush and exiting.

OK i am just rebooting in maintenance mode as we speak. I will take the advice and check them all

You have corruption on disk 4 so you need to run a file system check on that drive. File system corruption often causes the tort of symptoms you are seeing.
Thank you for looking! I will run a check and report back

Please post the diagnostics.
Literally just added it, somehow i did not drag it accross with the pictures. Its really odd some Shares are ok and have found a couple of shares missing entire folder structures yet its all present on the disks.

Hi All
So i had a drive fail, During checking a I knocked the power cable out of 1 of 2 parity drives. So unraid gave it a red cross. I knew it was due to lack of power so i just left it red. done the drive rebuild on the new drive then once all was good told it that it was a new Config. However im missing some (not all) files when i browse the Network drives. For example when i browse certain folders on any device the folders are completely empty. Yes if i browse /mnt/disk3 etc the files are there. I do have off site so its not the end of the world but Is there a way to get these back? the files are clearly on the disks but do not show on any file explorer etc. the even more weird part is some of the files in these folders are spread over mutiple disks not just the onces replaced.
quick edit if i in file explorer goto \\TOWER\disk2\File1 etc then i can see all the files. Yet the network drive "Y:\" is empty now. at least i can see all the files but what has happened and is there a way to correct it and what did i do wrong? Obviously been a bit of a tool somehwhere along the line.
Sorry its getting a little more fragmented but maybe these pictures will help.

Did the original "failed" disk really fail or was it actually dropped from the array because of a cable problem? You could try to mount it using the Unassigned Devices plugin. If it does mount you can copy your files off of it.
I don’t know but unfortunately the drive has been sent back to the manufacturer 😫 so I will never know.

Hi All
So i done a stupid thing in a bit of a panic. I had a drive fail falling over onto my dual parity (not a problem) but then a parity drive failed (it did not it just lost power) so in a panic and lack of knowledge i done a " new config" to restore the parity drive that now had power again not thinking that there is a drive missing in the system. I have now put the new drive in to replace the first failure but the system has stopped emulating the contents. Now the new drive is unmountable and needs a format to create a new file system on it. I assume that what i have done is unrecoverable and i will just loose the data that was on that original disk?
Not a huge loss but frustratingly time consuming to get it back.
-
Legend thank you i have done this, However now one of my Parity drive's has just "failed" thats on another extention to the last one. Im thinking im just going to order an entire new PSU and cable set. clearly there is an issue, smart report on Parity 1 is "no such device" yet that was absolutely fine prior to doing what i just done. This is really frustrating.
-
OK so i have changed it over to another plug on that extension and its now showing a smart report, But Unraid is saying contents are emulated still. However it seems that the drive is OK from what i can tell. How do i get unraid to try and use it again?

If disk were die hard not recognize anymore then Power supply would be the cause.
Hmmm Interesting I will go check the thing is 4 Drives share 1 extension so unless its the Plug it does not make sense in my head. But it would be an actual connector connecting to the drive on that extension. I will go swap the power cables about and see if it comes back to life.

Hi All
Wondering if anyone can help me. Im starting to pull my hair out.
I Am getting non stop disk failures, about every week for the past 5 weeks i have had a disk fail and unraid just says "no such device"
I have 2 Parity disks and just sent off yesterday to Western Digital my 4th failure and this morning i just had a 5th failure. Im struggling to believe it now and thinking maybe its some other hardware? But once i do the rebuild everything seems fine for a week then another drive drops.
This is the first time i have had 2 in the system fail at the same time I am waiting on a replacement from the first from Western Digital but now in a bit of a Panic that i dont have any parity (of course super sensitive Data is stored elsewhere.
Wondering if anyone has seen this before or can check my Report to see if anything obvious. If i try run any report on the disk it just says "no such device.
Thanks in Advance.

X299 seems really expensive for CPU's from what i can see in the UK

Hi All
So i need to upgrade my CPU its an E3-1226 xeon. its only quad core and with a couple of VM's and a growing number of dockers its often at 100% for a while. Im so stuck on what path to go down. Do i got for a X99 motherboard (used) with a 12/14 core Haswell cpu such as a E5-2680 or higher etc. or do i go for a new i5 for the same price bracket? X99 motherboards seem expensive given 99% are used. but the CPU choice is fantastic and 16c/32c exist at a reasonable price.
Plex transcodes on a GTX 1060 so that task is taken care of so im not massively worried about quick sync. but am I at a disadvantage going for the older hardware? X99 boards have good amounts of connectivity so thats a bonus. Currently have 14 HDD's connected thats likely to grow.
Is there any real disadvantage to using non ECC ram as motherboards that dont support ECC ram are half the price. real world situations i mean does it really make that much difference?
thanks for advice.

Hi All
Could someone take a look at my diagnostics and let me know what disk is causing me to get an error from time to time. I have a spare 4TB (new) disk to put in to replace the offending disk but the smart reports in unraid seem to all report back OK.
Cheers -
something is still not right. I just powered down my server checked all sata connections and powered back up. all drives are showing up fine but i got this ?
so i am trying to stop the array and its just saying Retry unmounting disk shares. I have lost all my dockers too
OK thanks i have never built a drive back onto its self so will double check im doing everything right then give that a go. I have a feeling that the Sata expantion cards I am using are a bit pony.
What UPS?

I looked into it all and went with a 850VA 520watt APC unit. I could get my system to draw 300watts doing 2x 4k plex transcodes and while doing a parity check. however the chances of that being done at the same time and during a power cut (given my router will loose power so plex transcodes will be cut off) are very very slim. Im not after it staying on. if the power is out for more than say 30/60 seconds then all i want is it to gracefully shut down until i can go turn it back on.
Talking of turning it back on can this be done remotely quite easily? I would not have an issue leaving the server off until the UPS is charged back up.
