Thanks Flubster, I just formatted the drive and started all over again. I'll take a look at testdisk in case it happens again.

I just upgraded the fans for the hard drives. Went nowhere close to the drive. If I look at the drive through terminal, I see all the content. I just finished cleaning up my Plex content and was going to backup the drive, but now it appears that I have to start all over again. Thanks.

Hello, I had to shutdown my server today to replace a part and after I restarted, I found that my Unassigned device would no longer mount. I stopped the array, started it backup in maintenance mode and attempted to do a xfs_repair /dev/sdb1 and got xfs_repair /dev/sdb1 Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... bad primary superblock - bad magic number !!! attempting to find secondary superblock... .found candidate secondary superblock... unable to verify superblock, continuing... .found candidate secondary superblock... unable to verify superblock, continuing... and then I tried xfs_repair -L /dev/sdb1 and got the same message. After the 'continuing', it would just show pages and pages of ............................................................... Any ideas on how to fix this? Should the drive just be reformatted and start again? skynet-diagnostics-20200803-2234.zip

Well I removed the 10G nic, on-board lan enabled in BIOS, same issue. Tried a new flash drive, installed latest build, same issue.

Hello, I do have 6.8.2 installed, that was from my original install. I've replaced the network cable with a known good working cable. I've gone ahead and reinstalled unraid on the flash drive as I didn't have anything of importance before. I have the on-board nic and a 10g network card. I haven't tried the 10g connection as of yet, would take some time to finish setting things up to use it. So far I'm still not able to get it to work.

Hello, After deleting the network.cfg and rebooting, the cfg file was not present. I created a file, added the information above (changing what had to be updated) and now I get: This site can’t be reached 192.168.1.5 took too long to respond.

Hello, I just tried that a I have the same issue, IP not set.

Hello, For some reason, my computer is not obtaining an IP address from the network when I boot up Unraid. The system worked a while back, but has been turned off for several months. When I started Unraid, I got the following message: unRAID Server OS version: 6.8.2 IPv4 address: not set IPv4 address: not set Tower login: I did change the bonding to "no" and got the same message. Attached is my log file. Any help would be appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20200130-1548.zip

So the 1 1/4" screws were a little long? Would a 1" screw been too short? I'm getting ready to head to my local Home Depot (Lowes is some distance from me) and see what they have.

I just purchased the same case and drive bays. I also purchased three of the Noctua 80mm fans, but I found that the drive cage fans have a proprietary connector that can either be spliced together or connect the fans to a hub and then connect the hub to the MB. With the Noctua fans, you have to remove the cover and mount them using longer screws. This is what I'm going to use (I'm not very good at splicing wires together ?). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008YD7B0M/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Thank you trurl. Some very good information.

Thank you, that was a good write-up. Will definitely use that feature when I'm ready to copy over all my movies and shows.

Thanks DZMM, that was going to be my next question. I think that would be the best way of moving all of my data (Movies, TV Shows) without being worried about the cache drive. One last little question , the Turbo Write, is that a feature of unRaid? If it is, where do I enable that? Currently running 6.5.0.

Thanks for the quick response. Do you happen to know the name of the new cache plugin? That sounds like what I need.

Thanks everyone. Well I picked up my case yesterday and will be ordering the Motherboard, CPU's, Memory this week hopefully getting everything delivered before the week-end. Over the week-end, I took a spare computer and put in a couple of drives so that I can look through unRaid (only seen videos of unRaid), and I have to say I'm impressed. I created a user share and copied over a large 20GB file and it copied over pretty quick (about 102MB/s). This morning I remembered that I didn't add a parity drive (just playing around, didn't care if I lost anything) and am wondering how much slower will my file transfers be when I finish the new machine and have a single or maybe a dual parity drive(s)?
