    Dual Parity question....

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by jbuszkie

    This is probably another dumb question...  But I want to add a second parity disk (10TB).  I'll assign it to the parity 2 slot.  Now if for some reason I need the disk space and I want to go back to one parity disk...  Can I get rid of the Parity 1 (8TB) disk and just have single parity on the parity 2 slot?  Or do I have to re-assign the 10TB to Parity 1 and have to rebuild parity completely?

     

    Jim

     

    Edit:  I will eventually make both parity 10TB..  But for now I'll stick with a 8TB array limit..

    Additional Scripts For User.Scripts Plugin

    *Sigh*  Everyone may know this but I didn't...  When using user scripts if you click outside the script window in the main window that will also kill the script.  So not just hitting the "X"..  I was about a 1/4 into zeroing out a drive when I accidentally click outside the script window and killed it! *sigh*

    Bad drive? or Bad slot??

    At least that one is, it's using one of the two Asmedia ports.

    Ok..  I give up..  How were you able to tell that ata7 and ata8 where the Asmedia ports from the syslog?  Because I know my motherboard..  I could figure it out..  But I can't find anywhere which ports are mapped to which controller in the syslog...  There is no mention of asmedia in the syslog.

    Has anyone ever had issues with a slot going bad in the Norco drive cages?  Two different slots in two different cages are, potentially, giving me issues.  One is causing the drive to disappear and the other is give sporadic CRC errors.  I'm going to look into if it's the cables or the slot.  But I was curious to know if anyone ever had a slot go bad on them?

    Crap!  Those are two different Norco drive cages. One with the dropped disk and one with the CRC errors. And it's not like I bumped the machine or anything..  I guess it's time to open her up and check for loose cables to the cages!  So the drive might be good???  hmm..

    Anyone seen years of vibrations knocking a sata cable loose on a drive cage?

     

    I *think* both of those slots in question are connected to the MB not the LSI card...

    Has anyone seen norco slots go bad?

     

     

    Thanks @johnnie.black

    Howdy folks

     

    An odd behaviour has cropped up recently.  After some period of time when I go to the WebUI, CP requires me to log in.  

     

    Is this just a change by CP to access the application from the (docker'ed) desktop --- or should I be concerned that backups are being impacted?

     

    Thanks!   

     

    I'm seeing this too..  I remember something sent to me about them requiring more log in 

     

    This what I found on in my e-mail

    Bad drive? or Bad slot??

    in Storage Devices and Controllers

    Some history...

     

    I had a 8T drive fail (red ball) recently in slot will call it A.  I had a spare 8T unassigned device so I swapped it in and rebuilt fine.

    I ran pre-clear on the "failed" drive in slot A and it failed in the zeroing phase..  Ok maybe it was a bad drive.

    So I bought another 8T drive to keep as a spare.  I shucked it and threw it into slot B.  Slot B had an old 4T drive that I took out of service for some reason.

    I ran pre-clear on the new 8T drive in slot B and it ran fine.  No issues other than a couple UDMA CRC errors.  It was only like 4 or 5..  So I scratched my head and continued.  I want to remove 3 2T disks so I put my "spare" in slot B in the array.  I took all the stuff on one of the 2T disks and put it on the 8T drive in slot B.

    That ran fine an came up maybe with one or two more CRC errors.  I zeroed out the 2T drive and emptied the 2nd 2T drive on the 8T in slot B.  That went fine...  but a couple more CRC errors.  So I'm thinking maybe slot B has some issues with the cable?

     

    The first 2T was ready to be removed from the system So I removed it and created a new config and trusted parity.  That went fine.  I started a parity check and that was working fine so I stopped it.  I shutdown the array and was going to try the new disk in a different slot.  I moved the new 8T into slot A and removed the "failed" 8T

    I started the system and copied more files from the 2nd 2T disk that I wanted to empty.  After that was done I noticed that the new disk in Slot A red balled!!!  It had a bunch of errors (like 6k)  Shoot!  WTF!  So now I put the new 8T back in Slot B.  And it's currently being re-built!  It's moving along at 7% with no disk errors.

    It's up to 14 CRC errors.  but I think that's what it started with at the start of the re-build.

     

    So do I have a bad drive or bad slot(s).  The slots are in 2 different 5 bay norco drive cages.  

    Trying to figure out how to proceed..  Look to the experts here..

     

     

     

    [Plugin] CA Appdata Backup / Restore v2

    Posted

    Is there a way to just backup the flash drive?  The appdata is (supposedly) getting backed up by crash plan.  But The flash drive can no longer via crash plan.

    So I'd like to use this to just back up the flash drive (then crash plan will backup the backup).  I don't really want to stop all the dockers every time I want to back up the flash drive?

    How to kill the whole docker process??

    This Stackoverflow post was helpful.  I was able to kill the process this way.  We'll see if I can stop/restart the array gracefully.  I need to wait for a disk zeroing to finish first before I can try...

    All the docker: start | restart | stop | rm --force | kill commands may not work if the container is stuck. You can always restart the docker daemon. However, if you have other containers running, that may not be the option. What you can do is: 

    
ps aux | grep <<container id>> | awk '{print $1 $2}'

    The output contains:

    <<user>><<process id>>

    Then kill the process associated with the container like so: 

    
sudo kill -9 <<process id from above command>>

    That will kill the container and you can start a new container with the right image.

    I have a docker that won't stop.  I've tried manually killing it (docker kill containername) and I can't.

    I tried to kill the process in the container that was still running, but I got an error....

    My guess is I won't be able to shutdown/restart the array until the whole docker subsystem is happy.

     

    How can I kill/restart the whole docker processes?

    When to replace the USB flash drive???

    in General Support

    Posted

    As I looked back into my old e-mail..  I've been running Unraid for over 10 years now!!!  I upgraded to pro back in April of 2009!  I can't find the original Purchase..  but it must have been before that!  Anyway..   I'm still using the original flash drive I started with.  I do have a second key and drive.. (It's probably not up to date  - Must add to todo list! And I'm not sure where it is LOL)

     

    When should I think about preemptively replacing the flash drive?  It's a 1GB Drive that's about 1/2 full..

     

    And a big Kudos to Tom and Limetech guys for such a great product and kudos for such a super great community!

    Don't run that tool against all the drives or all the shares.  If it touches the appdata share, funky things may happen with your docker apps.  Hence why there's a docker safe new permissions tool right there also.  It will not allow you to run against appdata

    I didn't see the other one..  I'll have to look when the current one finishes.  I'm just running it on specific shares that got flagged.  So I should be safe?

    I'm trying to empty a drive using unbalance and it does warn me about file permissions..  I ran the extended test in FCP and I get a TON of these 

    The following files / folders may not be accessible to the users allowed via each Share's SMB settings.  This is often caused by wrong permissions being used on new downloads / copies by CouchPotato, Sonarr, and the like:

/mnt/user/Backup  nobody/users (99/100)  0770
/mnt/user/Backup/acer_aspire  nobody/users (99/100)  0770
/mnt/user/Backup/acer_aspire/post_factory.tib  nobody/users (99/100)  0660
/mnt/user/Backup/acer_aspire/pre_install_image.tib  nobody/users (99/100)  0660
/mnt/user/Backup/acer_aspire/Pre_office2.tib  nobody/users (99/100)  0660
/mnt/user/Backup/acer_aspire/Pre_office.tib  nobody/users (99/100)  0660
/mnt/user/Backup/Browser_bookmarks  nobody/users (99/100)  0770

    Wasn't there an "FIX" button for this?  What does it want me to change the permissions to?

    Can you clear UDMA CRC errors?

    Ok.. I'll reply to my own message! 🙂

    I guess if I just click on the error thing I can acknowledge the error.   But I'm still guessing it will live in the smart report forever...

     

    Maybe I should open up the case and replace the cables in a couple of slots....

    I have 4 drives that have low UDMA CRC error counts.  They are not really increasing.  Do I have to live with 

    image.png.66a0d01353c63d3e0a2634951be32125.png

     

    these errors forever?  Unfortunately, one of these drives is brand new.  It's installed from a drive cage so the connections inside haven't been touched in years.

     

    Is there no way to clear them out?  My guess is no...
