playmake

Hi guys, first of all thanks for your amazing job DLandon. I've a problem trying to preclear a bunch of disk. I used the plugin for the first disk and everything went as planned. now I tried already 2 more disk but the preclear is stuck at "starting" also after several hours. I tried to stop, reboot, format / clear the partition but nothing, I can't find a way to make it works. any idea?

thanks, quite sure for error. didn't think about checking the smart. you're right. no reallocated sector so I should be good to GO

Hi, I just finished 2 cycle pre-clear of an unassigned disk. at the beginning I had the icon to open the log and check status, but then disappeared. How can I retrive the information? in particular about reallocated sector count! thanks for any help!

tried some suggestion of that thread but with no luck still running slow(er) 115 MB/s I read somewhere someone lost a disk and had symphtoms like slow parity check before... guess I'm ordering a new spare just in case...

here you are my diag! tower-diagnostics-20210512-1317.zip

This was what I thought and for this I disabled almost everything I'll check if the only PC connected to the same net is causing the issue

Hi guys! After a few year of happy usage of Unraid wich is improving continously I'm now here to ask your help. I'm observing lately a decrease in Parity check speed. anyone else had this? is it related to some update to UnRaid? If not, are there any action I can try to check if I've problems? I'm doing again it with all Dockers & VM switched off but also if not completed It's still around "only" 122MB/s. Any suggestion? thanks in advance

please check MariaDb docker thread, I had your same issue as other people, you need to delete one log file in mariadb appdata folder to solve the issue!

Super thank you for this! solved my same problem too ❤️

Hi guys can I ask you how can I backup my mariadb? I'm using it for nextcloud and I'd like planned backup... just in case

Already arrived the new one, thanks Amazon!!! But for the substitution of the dead one I took a bigger Sony, hoping that the bigger form factor help the KEY to cool down and to last longer. The speedtest app is running once a day to test my new connection, in a while I will switch it totally off.

This is the result of the command & a search from win in the usb folder with file modified "today". Can you see something strange? this morning I had 285 writes, now it's 382 :'( I made some changes in settings but I don't think I did 100 changes!

Update: from yesterday when I went to sleep (midnight) to this mornig (8 am) the usb key had been written 22times, and read 121 times. Can I consider this as normal or not? should I do something? I checked the docker config and I don't see any reference to "FLASH" in settings. I have and use CAbackupp which maybe is cause of reading writing plus docker autoupdate? should I set less frequent bck / autoupdate?

Checked and since boot, the only files changed on the usb key are the one I expect to change. I will monitor the situation. I also have moved from USB3 to USB2 to be safe, i read several people had problem similar to mine using USB3. I tought that if it was working I should not worry but... I was wrong. I only ask myself what we will do when we won't have anymore USB2.0 on new mobo!

Update: restored everything and license moved. Now a question: since boot I've got 246 writes on usb stick. I "played" a bit configuring new vm. Is it normal or are them too much?

UPDATE: i ran HDDscan on the usb stick and... it's gone! thousand of bad block found :'( luckly I had both manually and automated (CAapp thanks squid :)) done backups of everything. I plan this evening as soon as I come back home to boot from a fresh usb stick and see what's happen

Update: I manually stopped the array. Waited for all service stopped and array stopped then I had the bad idea of shutting down. The box didn't shut down either after waiting several minutes. So I tried to ssh in it but nothing. Then I decided to force sgut down by pressing ppwer button. Now it can no more boot up (doesn't show at usual ip) I tried then to chkdsk from windows but the message return something like "the disk is in raw format impossible to run chkdsk". Win try to format the usb key (i didn't). I think the key is gone. Should I create e new one and copy inside the /config folder? Then ask to limetech thw license swap?

thank you very much both for the help! only last super-noob question: to run chksdk can I simply unplug the USB key from the unraid box and plug it in the windows machine? Before maybe it's better to stop the array, right?

quite sure related to the synology box from wich I take the ups data actually shut down! (I'm replacing the syno box with Unraid build). I will for sure move my USB to a 2.0 Connection. Can I safely shut down my server or should I expect not to be able to boot up again after powerdown?

Yes, sure, i've looked at it but my limited knlowledge does not permit to me to do a troubleshoot I've 328MB used and 15GB free space on it, so I would exclude the problem about something saving to it actually the usb stick is installed internally in the USB3.0 connector. I can try to move it on the USS 2.2 tomorrow, then togheter with chdisk on windows machine. I attach the diagnostic tower-diagnostics-20180625-1341.zip

Hi guys, this morning I first received Error message on my Unraid Build and I think my usb is failing. here my usb log and my "fix common problems messages". What should I do? I stopped the array, copied the /config folder (except one file wich gave me error) and started back my array. Starting it back made begin a parity check. When the parity check will be finished what am I supposed to do? The flash disk is a SanDiskUltraFit with only 3 months of life!

thank you so much, I will try this evening and report back!

Can someone point me in the right direction to make function the NUT plugin? i've already the NUT plugin working in Unraid but i would greatly appreciate to monitor my ups also in netdata. but I can't figure how to do it :'(

Ahahah I was that guy Glad to hear you did it!

I had this problem - solved - on a J4105, I needed time to work that out but the solution is way simpler than you think. Open the usb boot you just created and rename the -EFI folder in EFI without -.
