    Can't shut down due to an unmounted disk...

    What is the output of "mount" at the console?

    I did try to re-mount  by doing something like mount /dev/md9p1 and it complained about not being in fstab or something.

    I then tried to mount to /mnt/disk9 and it also complained.  I ended up having to do a hard power cycle.
    That seems to work ok and didn't start a parity check.

    Removing a data drive.. what happens to disk numbers?

    Ok.. So something like this:

     

    Zero the disk (I'm like 25% done with that.)

    Take a screen shot the array config

    stop the array.

    unassign disk10

    assign disk10's drive to disk 9

    unassign parity2

    New configuration (keep existing assignments)

    start array with trust parity

    Start a parity check and let it go a little to make sure  it starts and doesn't report tons of errors. (sanity check)

    Stop parity check

    Stop array

    re-assign parity2

    Start array

    Parity 2 rebuild

    done?

    Edit:  added/changed the steps I did.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Ok  I did the above steps and I seen to be working ok.  (parity 2 is in the process of rebuilding)

     

    caveats:

    This documentation needs to be updated:  It's pre 6.12 and the mdX device numbers have changed to mdXp1 for 6.12

    The Clear Drive script as I had loaded in User Scripts plugins is not working for my unraid.  The script used pre 6.12 nomenclature.

    The procedure calls for unmounting the drive before doing the zeroing..  

    umount /mnt/diskX
dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mdX status=progress

    Again the mdX needs to be mdXp1

    And this worked fine until I tried to shutdown the array.

    The shutdown script didn't like the fact that the drive was already unmounted and looped trying to unmount that drive.  I believe this is a bug

    and the shutdown script should check to see if the drive is already unmounted...

     

    Now one can just do a new config make all the changes you want and just have it reconstruct the parity..  but even though my system is healthy and I'm sure it would have been fine...  I'm paranoid and wanted to be protected at (almost) all times!

     

    Thanks for the input, guys!

    I'm in the process of removing a disk from the array.

     

    I ran these commands 

    umount /mnt/diskX
dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mdX status=progress

     

    where X was 9 and mdX was actually md9p1  (someone needs to update the docs)

    I got them from here

     

    When I tried to stop the array  it's now stuck on retry unmounting shares.  In the log I get this 

    Sep 21 10:51:21 Tower emhttpd: shcmd (3175801): umount /mnt/disk9
Sep 21 10:51:21 Tower root: umount: /mnt/disk9: not mounted.
Sep 21 10:51:21 Tower emhttpd: shcmd (3175801): exit status: 32
Sep 21 10:51:21 Tower emhttpd: Retry unmounting disk share(s)...
Sep 21 10:51:26 Tower emhttpd: Unmounting disks...

    It looks like the shutdown script expects something from the umount command and doesn't check to see if it's already unmounted.

     

    How can I re-mount the disk so the shutdown script can unmount it and I can have a clean shutdown?

    I'm consolidating a couple disks and will remove them from my system to save a little power.

    I'm following this to remove the drive.  The drive I'm removing is disk9  I have a disk 10 that's staying.

    Will disk10 become disk9?  or will I have a hole where disk9 used to be?  will it go disk7, disk8, disk10?

     

    Also..  If I don't zero out the drive first and do the rebuild..  Will I still be protected if I have dual parity?  I'm thinking no

    since it "resets the array configuration" and has to rebuild parity from scratch?

     

    Thanks,

    Out of Memory error....

    in General Support

    Posted

    Unraid informed me that I had an out of memory error.  Not sure what happened but another post said I should include my diagnostics zip file here in a new post.  I'll wait to reboot, but the system seems to be running fine now.  I did try to run a couple more VM's a couple days ago...

     

    I don't know if unraid folks want to look at this to see if there some bug.  Otherwise I'll just reboot to clear the error

    (I want to reboot soon anyway to upgrade unraid to the latest...)

    Any settings changes in Unraid like switching Docker from macvlan to ipvlan?

    No..  But I ended up rebooting my router last week and today it's working for that reason or maybe some other that worked its self out!

    Thanks for the help!

    Has anything on your network changed in those couple weeks? Is the DNS server setting on your Unraid server correct (eg pointing to your router rather than ISP or other public DNS server)?

    I just checked my unraid network setting and can confirm that DNS is pointing to my router.

    I have changed nothing... intentionally... I've updated dockers and probably some plugins.  But I've changed no setting.

    I can access the RDP from other windows machine with the hostname.  But not from guac?

    I used to be able to connect to my windows machine through swag and guacamole a couple weeks ago.  But now I get disconnected.

    image.png.a1e7e1fad92c565a1c98e34456c5382e.png

    the Guac log has this:

    RDP server closed/refused connection: DNS lookup failed (incorrect hostname?)

     

    I don't know where to start looking for issues with this! I am not a Guacamole expert at all!.... I can connect to the guac home page so I assume swag is working fine.

     

    Was there some recent change in Guac that requires me to change something in my connections?

    I changed the connection info to point to the IP and not the hostname.. and it connected fine.  But the hostname used to work just fine and I didn't change anything that I know of?

    its automated, there is a slight delay of an hour or so, so expect an update soon.

    The last update was 4 days ago?  and  the one before that was over a week ago?  Dose it look in a different spot for the updates?

    Is this still being updated?  I'm having an issue with Emby and Roku not playing certain files with captions.  If I turn the captions off and then play it plays fine.  But if I start with captions it get to 33% and never loads.  This used to work fine. Files that used to play fine with captions don't now! 😡. From some other threads on the emby forum it's something with ffmpeg.  I'd really like to be able to see my captions again! My version is Version 4.7.14.0  and it looks like there is a "Emby Server 4.8.1.0 is Available"  I'm wondering if the latest version will fix my issue...
