  1. I used Gparted on a linux mint system to format the drive to NTFS. Just did it again and it mounts properly into Linux Mint but throws an error for no file system still.
  2. I gparted the entire hdd to NTFS in linux mint. I will try it again. Maybe i need to delete the partition table as well and start from scratch. When i formatted the disk in a windows machine the only option i had was to format it into xfs or the other supported file system. Other than the file system does the script look like it should work?
  3. For whatever reason i cannot get the backup script to work not matter how i go about it. The latest format of the drive has left me with the attached. I cannot Mount or unmount at all. I have restarted the server and tossed the drive back in fresh. It does this on a fresh reboot so i have no idea what i messed up. I realize i have been at this for too long but is there anything i can do to get this working. I need to get this over to a friends house tomorrow and i feel like i hit a road block. When i put the HDD in UD sees the drive but nothing from the script actually happens. I have attached the latest script in a TXT file to this. I am using a direct SATA connection through a Hot Swap Bay to the motherboard. What am i missing? anyone at all, i am at my wits end. Backup Script.txt
  4. Right now i have a 60TB array with 2 xeon 2650v2 256gb of ram and with a plex docker using an P600 for transcoding. I have a few other dockers running but that is the only one with any real hardware associated with it. I am using the Nvidia plugin on version 6.9.2. With all that out of the way, i am attempting to use either a Tesla M40 or a Tesla K80 passed through to a VM as a second GPU. The main idea behind this is i want all of my rendering horse power on the server so i can design in fusion 360 or use blender from almost any machine i own. I would like to use the original VNC as the base GPU so i can have easy access to the VM anywhere in the house. As of right now i have tried to set the Tesla M40 up as the second GPU in the VM but Windows does not see the hardware at all. I do not have a Vbios for it either. I have also tried to use the card as just a PCIE device but unraid will not let me pass it through that way. I would rather not setup a second machine if i can help it. Is there something i can do to get either of these cards to pass through correctly? I have enough system resources to choke a horse on my server i would rather keep it in one box.
  5. Are SSDs really a good option for cache drives? I have 2 positions in my new case that i was thinking about tossing cache drives in. I am split between 2 500GB SSD or 2 1tb SATA drives. I would like the speed of an SSD but i am unsure of how fast they might burn out. Also has the mover improved in the recent years? I ask because i have no cache right now and that was directly related to the problems i was having with the mover.
  6. Just to pic your brain a bit. Would you know of a write up or similar for this "Fastest way is if you can copy multiple disk to disk sessions with rsync or something similar"? That sounds like exactly what i need. Also i did see in a post a little earlier that active cable limit for 10gb was 33'. Was this limit for, as an example passive copper SFP+ cables or would fiber OM3 & OM5 also be limited to this length? I have a new 30m OM3 cable here and would like to know before i run it.
  7. What is going to be the fastest way to copy data between 2 unraid boxes? I am using 2 10gb Nic, one in each system. Should i direct connect the 2 systems and use rsync to get the data copied the quickest? I have tried using a switch with a windows and a linux machine doing the heavy lifting but the performance is horrible and apparently my memory fills up and stops the transfer. Could i throw a 8TB drive in as cache to speed up transfers at all? Then remove the 8tb drive after the transfer is complete, the disks on the system will be static after the transfer. Any thoughts would be helpful.
  8. I have no cache drive. on initial install i tried to run one but it never worked correctly.
  9. I probably screwed up your trouble shooting effort. I tried a reboot and got this. VVVVVV . Should i start up the metadata refresh and see if i can get it to crash again or just hesitantly update unraid? last time i tried to stay with the best version of unraid it crippled my system.
  10. Sorry had to make an emergency run to the vet. Attached is the requested Diagnostic zip. i really hope it is just a crash. If it is not would it hurt anything to reboot it?
  11. My server had been up for 18months with no issues. I updated all of my dockers this morning which seemed to go fine. then after starting plex i had it refresh all the meta data. that was going to take forever so i dozed off. i woke up an hour later to not being able to access any of my network shares. Checked my dockers and those were either not loading or said they were empty. Is there some way to figure out what happened here? Unraid is acting like my user directory has been deleted. If i were manually looking for this directory where would i find it? Just trying to salvage this. Would updating unraid to a newer version help at all?
  12. Pretty bad when my server has epic fail right in the log file. Where can i find my database so i can try to recover it? output: [Error] MigrationLogger: System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException (0x80004005): database disk image is malformed 2021-04-19 01:35:16,590 DEBG 'sonarr' stdout output: 2021-04-19 01:35:16,612 DEBG 'sonarr' stdout output: [Fatal] ConsoleApp: EPIC FAIL! [v3.0.6.1196] NzbDrone.Core.Datastore.CorruptDatabaseException:
  13. Good to know. When running i was running parity i did not receive any notifications of errors. Thank you very much sir.
  14. Yeah i received a notification of 2 read errors. and parity was in sync before all of this. I have a drive ready to replace it when i get home. I have already used a VPN and shutdown the array which will hopefully stop anything else from happening.
  15. I have a drive that just failed, well it did fail " offline uncorrectable returned to normal value". Either way i am replacing it as i have a read error when it was uncorrectable. I did a parity check 4 days ago. If i take the array offline right now throw a new drive in ad rebuild from parity will that error follow the rebuild?
  16. @jwiese997 What did you have to do with the rclone script to get the server to work properly? What did the rclone script do if i may ask. I has severe issues with my update on my backup array, Iwould like to shut off or uninstall anything that is going to mess up my primary server.
  17. I am very interested in this. I have the exact same problem and had to start a config for scratch to even talk to my secondary server. Lost all my scripts and setups in the process. I was upgrading from 6.5.3 to 6.6.1 when it all happened though. Burned a 6.6.2 USB and had to installed that. I will not update my primary sever without making a full image of everything before i do. I know this post does not help your situation. I just wanted you to know yours is not the lone case for whatever is causing this.
  18. So it has been a long time since i have added a drive to either of my Unraid arrays. I would like to know if Unraid can Preclear and Encrypt a disk with an existing key or passphrase without actually adding the disk to the array? I do not really want to corrupt my installation if i can help it.
  19. Amyone at all have any input? Loading to cosole gui fails as well.....Left it set overnight to no avail.
  20. I have been running this server hardware for over a year without issue. I upgraded one of my servers last weekend and cannot get it to load. I cannot access anything in the server. I just sat in front of the server for an hour while it tried to startup. This is all thefurther it got for all the time wasted. I have been trying to mess with it when i can. It is trying to load to GUI right now. Anybody have any ideas?
  21. Right now i have 2 servers. One running everything and a Backup that updates weekly with an rsync cron. Soon i would like to get a few external Hdds and have an offsite/offline backup i might update once every 3-6 months. I would like to obviously keep this backup somewhere away from my house. I would like to encrypt this backup so only i can access the contents or remount it to an unraid server. I had originally intended to mount the Hdds as a pool with Unassigned Devices but i do not believe the Unassigned Devices can encrypt an external drive pool. On top of that, thinking this through if i had a failed drive in the external pool the entire pool would most likely not mount. By all means if either of these are incorrect please let me know. A few discussion points i would like to bring up. Is there a good way to encrypt these external drives and still have a docker, VM or UD be able to read them with proper pass phrase? I would really like to use Clonezilla and do an entire from scratch backup of the array. If i made a clonezilla VM to run as a backup solution would it work? I know clonezilla should be booted from a USB or disk to work properly so the drives can be fully copied without screwing up clonezilla itself. It probably would not be worth it but, what would it take to make Clonzilla into a docker. Or create a backup docker that can be ran on the cache and would be able to mount the array and UD disks their own individual directorys. If that were possible UD could mount the disks then the Docker might be able to encrypt the disks. After that the docker could copy the information into the encrypted volumes. Maybe even a Vercrypt Docker if such a thing is possible. If it would have to be an OS i could see a small ubuntu install as docker with the ability to add small programs such as a password manager. I guess more than anything i wanted to throw some thoughts out there and see what everyone thought. Also if you have any ideas i would love to hear them.
  22. Mounted up just fine and i am transferring everything back as we speak. Thanks again guys.
