OK thank you I will look into that.

Thank you for your answer. Here is the screenshot of my container settings. I am moving files manually currently using krusader and will delete any remaining folder from cache. I hope this will work.

Hi everyone, I am having issues with data still going to my cache when I have set array as the primary storage. The app (here immich) keeps on writing on the cache instead of the array. I am going through tutorials and guides and everthing mentions options I do not have in my settings such as "cache only" or "secondary storage". Please see screenshot. Where should I see these options?? Thanks

Hi everyone, My Unraid server has died after a parity drive failure. I am now rebuilding one. I had a massive Plex database with lots of metadata stored. I am hoping I can retrieve it in a backup folder that I will need to drill in, once my new unraid is up and running. I will copy my movies folders from an external backup into my new unraid. Questions: 1) how should I install Plex, using the backup I (might) have? 2) how do I make sure Plex, once it is linked to my movies folders, does match the existing metadata to the new folders? Sorry I could not find any guide but if there is anything already written I would gladly go there if you can point me to it. Thanks!

Thank you for the support. My parity and another disk are both dead. Thankfully most of my data should be fine (backed up). I will rebuild unraid and come back stronger.

Hi there, Here is what I see now for my drives. Parity drive is shown as missing. I am guessing it is dead, or should I try something? (should I mingle with the cables?) Also, I cannot get SMART tests to start on any of the parity and disk 5. Here is the diagnostic file. (I ran a SMART check on disk 1) garage-diagnostics-20251124-2136.zip

Thank you Jorge, The array does not respond really well to my actions. For example it does not reboot or even shutdown when I ask it to. Could you let me know how to run the SMART tests? (sorry for the dumb question) Do you think I should verify the cables before running the tests? I have a backup of the whole thing that is not too old, but I would still like to try to retrieve some recent data. I am guessing some of my data is retrievable if it sits in the other 4 drives, correct? I am out this weekend but once back I should be able to run the checks and post the diagnostics. Thanks again for your support.

Hi everyone, My Unraid has been running smooth for about 10 years but recently it has thrown errors, not started dockers, etc. I have to admit I totally forgot how I built it. I blindly followed guidelines, got it running and enjoyed. The log is throwing many "GARAGE kernel: md: disk0 read error" errors and one of the disk (disk 5) is disabled/ contents emulated. Can someone take a look at my diagnostics please? many thanks in advance garage-diagnostics-20251120-2225.zip

Solved, thank you

Thank you. Trying this right now.

Hi everyone, I have built my unraid server years ago and it has been running smoothly since then. One of my disks is suddenly showing as disabled though and I am lost about what I am supposed to do to fix it. I see that I can still access the files on this drive, is it because they have been backed up? (sorry for the silly question but like I said I kind of forgot everything I did) I have rebooted and attached the diagnostic zip for your consideration. Thank you in advance garage-diagnostics-20241108-1106.zip

No change whatsoever, no. EDIT: I think it is coming from plugins that no longer work, in particular Trailer Addict plugin. I removed it and the errors are gone. Thanks for the support

I don't know, I am not even sure why all these sources are consulted. BUT it looks like a connectivity issue, right? So more like an unraid/docker issue to me. Also, it is not just the free stuff that is not accessible from within Plex now, it's all my content. Anyone has an idea? Thanks

Hi all, apologies if this issue has been brought up already. I am having difficulties with Plex not displaying my content. It looks related to what I can find in the log (see screenshot attached). Does any of you know why I get all these errors? Thank you in advance! D.

You mean like no connection to the web? All the other docker containers do have access to the network with no apparent issue. Also what I do not understand is why each docker container shows an "update" available, yet none actually need any update...?

Hi everyone. Today I noticed that there was an update available for my Plex docker. I therefore clicked on it and it generated the following: Now Plex does not work and I am not sure what I did wrong and how this happened. Can anyone assist me please? EDIT: I actually see an "update" available for all other dockers as well (Sonarr, Deluge, etc.) None of these actually seem to update anything Thank you

Thanks, just did that and no I do not access. Actually last week I had that issue, and after a while I managed to access the UI so I thought it was sorted. Now I really cannot access. Any browser. Also the torrent was downloaded and incorporated to Plex just as usual. I just cannot figure out why I cannot access the WebUI. I stopped the service and restarted it and I can access the WebUI. I did restart it earlier and it did not fix access. It feels random. Any idea?

Hi all, I am looking for an advice on how to fix my issue. I basically cannot access Deluge WebUI. All other dockers are running fine and WebUI's can be accessed. Deluge is started. I am getting a "this site cannot be reached" message in my Chrome browser. I access my unraid server remotely from within my home network. I would like to share my log files but I am not sure what to share and if it is all safe to share...? Through Radarr I have just added a torrent to download and I can see it is indeed downloading. Where should I look? I am no expert so gentle answers are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answers. drsparks68, I will take a look at the ghithub place. ssarg: I understand, but the corruption is only happening with the latest update of UNRAID. Now that I have reverted to previous version, all runs smoothly. So is the problem on Plex's side, or UNRAID? It is an open question, I do not have the answer, but I feel Plex people could give me the exact same answer as yours.

Metadata is not downloading anymore. Hi all, since upgrading to 6.7 I got database corruption issues. I managed to use a backup and things seem to be stable now. However, for some reason (and I do not know if it is related to the corruption/backup process), new movies and TV shows files are recognized, included in the database, but NO metadata gets downloaded using the different agents. I am really pulling my hair out and do not understand what is going on. The circle keeps on going round and round, the video screenshot (used as movie poster) keeps on flashing for some reason, and nothing gets downloaded. I cleared cache/trash/flushed/cleaned bundles, nothing gets downloaded. Deluge/radarr/sonarr are connecting to the internet with no issue. Can anyone help me? I am posting my log files here as well. Thanks EDIT: I did downgrade unraid back to its previous version, 6.6.7, and replaced the Plex database with a backup. All is working now. Still, it looks like I cannot upgrade unraid to 6.7, can anyone let me know why? Plex Media Server Logs_2019-06-08_18-00-10.zip

Hurray!

Fantastic, thanks a million!

Thank you very much Johnnie I shall try that. Could you just tell me if, once I have backed up all my shares into the unique pool I have created, I can unplug the devices, plug them back later and obtain the exact config?

Hi all, I want to backup my movies/series/Photos/documents stored on my Array to external drives and I cannot figure out the best way to do what I need to do. Here is the situation: My array contains about 12Tb of movies/series/Photos/documents. My "Movies" share is the largest with 11Tb. I own 3 Lacie external USB drives of 5Tb each. I would like to use these 15Tb as a backup, ideally with 4 folders: Movies backup/Series backup/Photos backup/Documents backup. I would like to use a sync tool to sync these 4 folders to my shares. My problem, if you had not guessed it already, is that I have 3 external drives that are each smaller than the biggest folder (movies=11Tb) I need to backup. Here is what I thought would be the ideal solution: Plug the 3 Lacie drives to my windows PC, have windows recognise them as one drive (here is the guide found for this: https://lifehacker.com/5986883/how-to-combine-multiple-hard-drives-into-one-volume-for-cheap-high-capacity-storage) then use a sync tool to synhronize/transfer accross my network. The problem is that the transfer rate/speed over the network to these USB3.0 drives is really slow (6Mb/s). I noticed however than when one of these drives is directly plugged into the Unraid server via USB, the transfer (krusader) is about 40Mb/s Krusader has a sync tool, so I am thinking I could use it. HOWEVER I have no clue as to how I can make these 3 external drives appear as ONE drive in Unraid. I don't want them constantly plugged in, and I guess I cannot mount them in the array and regularly disconnect them, rigtht? Can I create a share on unassigned drives? I am a little lost as to what solution would work. Thank you in advance for your help. D.

Thanks Squid, just reloaded and it is all there
