When I renamed the file. I could not open unraid. Just for test since I use usb card reader I tried a fresh install on another card, same thing. No internet I attach the file from the fresh installation also. I have put back the sd card with my config. I have physical access or even with telnet. Is there a file or something I can check? tower-diagnostics-20200326-1712.zip

Renaming the config did not worked. I attach again diagnostics. Maybe since in this box I use it only for file sharing, it would be easier to do a clean install? tower-diagnostics-20200326-1547.zip

Hey trurl, thanks. I am not sure about the version. But I did not had prior internet also. I attach the log file tower-diagnostics-20200324-1605.zip

It's been a while I had power off one of my unraid server. From version 6 something had to do manual update to latest version but still no internet access. Everything else seems to work fine. I have read various posts with similar issue. I have installed another license on a hp microserver, so clean install with same settings - network and works works. Maybe something is left from past upgrades? I would really appreciate some help...... syslog

Thank you for the tips the tower is super clean... Having all this time the pool to start automatically and not manual seems it solved the problem...

I dont have monitor anymore for the server i could try it when this happens again. how do i take diagnostics from the command line? Does poweroff command start a clean shutdown? Clicking the power button server will close but when starts again its starts parity check. Clean shutdown i get only from the web interface

When i try now to connect to http://192.168.1.2 it works of course . I have also added to my router to give dynamic ips after 192.168.1.50 till 49 are reserved for me to give static. The problem occurs after some hours that all the disks are spun down. Also i have given the rule that i manually start the array. With this rule i couldn't connect to http://192.168.1.2 and had to try open the network connection from my windows machine. Of course connection was not possible but then i had access to http://192.168.1.2 to start the array. Now that i have changed the rule and the array starts automatically when the server boots up issue is solved but still after some hours i lose connection to the server. I can only ping http://192.168.1.2 but not web , telnet access. So i make not a clean shutdown and then parity check begins on next boot.This machine runs 5 years now with no problems. I dont know why all the sudden this happens.......

any ideas what the problem might be?

Thank you for the reply. Here are also the diagnostics. tower-diagnostics-20171011-2038.zip

no one? better to contact direct lime tech? Some guidance advice

When the server boots up or like today that i have left it open after a day that all disks spun down unraid is unreachable . I can ping though. If i push in my win10 the network then it wakes up. Look video. https://cl.ly/3E1b1S2a0F2L The one is after i have manual shut down and now makes parity check. tower-syslog-20171009-1820.zip

tried the same files to copy to disk2 now that is stills reiserfs(disk8 is xfs), copy went till 31gb this time before it stops.......no idea what is going...system log seems ok

ok tried to copy 120gb of big movies files direct to disk8 from another pc on the network when the copy reached 22gb it timeouts ,stalls i attached new diagnostics file tower-diagnostics-20160321-2119.zip

i have updated news. the 5gb drive when received it seemed used already opened broken shield so went for replace had to wait few days. what i have recovered was partial but with kodi library i was able to identify the files. is going to be a slow recover from now on. I have also turned almost all my drives to xfs 3 more to go. all seems good but unraid 6 problems also seem not to end. To format the drives to xfs i copied the files first on another pc with no issues. now that i try to write them back i take copy stall(timeouts), meaning copy process starts but it stalls for no apparend reason. i will post here tower diagnostics if anyone can help what is going on(if not i will make new post for more to see) tower-diagnostics-20160321-2003.zip

Yes i understand this completely. What was wrong from my side was that after i formatted the disk to xfs and i have been informed that parity dont care about filesystem, that my disk will be rebuild from parity. This was my mistake... Just an update after i have format disk3 to xfs data rebuild ,since this was a mistake i have formatted back to reiserfs and runned(at the moment is at pass3 and i see that starts to recover my files one by one.finger crossed i will inform about result and how to proceed ) reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/md3

Thanks I am an old unraid user i have read the wiki more than once but propably not enough for version 6. If i want to migrate to xfs slowly my option is that i add new drive to array in xfs filesystem copy over all files from disk with resierfs filesystem, then stop array press new config and take out the drive with reiserfs, assign again the rest of the drives , start array again. Is this the way ?

You'll be running reiserfsck on the "emulated" disk3, unraid will use all other disks + parity to do it. ok supossed when finished on emulate recovers everything then what?When rebuild has started and drive was with xfs filesytem came with no data. so there is no hope to run reiserfsck on the physical drive where changes seems better since i havent made any writes to drive after the format.

reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/md3 Sure? have you seen the screenshots drive 3 is labeled as no device . Just want to recover files if any and i will replace drive in 2 days with new one

Select no device for disk3 on the drop down menu, and start in maintenance mode. where is current pending sector ,value , worst when is reiserfs is 100 but when i was with xfs was 250 all or at least one of those values and wasnt colored thank you so now the command will be reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/Sdn ? https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb0gms71gu479p6/1.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/l01dc0po0e0daz7/2.JPG?dl=0

i will have a spare seagate 5tb in two days. for the moment since the disk wasnt visible anymore i just rebooted server (i have always checked not to start automatically the array). now i cant go in maintance mode because unraid sees disk3(samsung) as new drive and wants to start rebuild. If i understand correct since last rebuild drive came empty with xfs filesystem and now went back to riserfs hopping to recover with fsck if i start now disk rebuild procedure from parity will lost any chance to recover . so how i can run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/md3 if not in maintance mode?

I went back to riserfs but disk is redballed now. https://www.dropbox.com/s/y8c2x3bw83fkmth/Screenshot_2016-02-21-21-13-13.png?dl=0 So how I proceed? (All previous disks that had problems where Samsung also) I attach new diagnosis after went back to riserfs Edit :stopped the array to go to maintenance mode disk 3 is nowhere to be found.. Is reboot an option that might do it reappear and proceed with rebuild? And yes disk 3 has only 300 video files. tower-diagnostics-20160221-2113.zip

I will try this, but yes I have pushed yes to format the drive knowing the data will be lost and knowing that after disk rebuild the data should come back from parity drive or not?

So, after I stopped my array my disk 3 red balled. Checked cables all ok. Started again I go to maintenance mode I run fsck check, it completes without errors, so not corruption. Start the array normal missing disk 3. Stop start and data rebuild starts also. It finishes OK, all my data are there (look first diagnosis) . The moment I try to write again to disk (I think this was the time) redballed again. This time since I want to move to xfs filesystem the disk is formatted to xfs and disk rebuild starts again. When it finishes drive till now seems ok but my data is gone. (look second diagnosis). So almost 8 hours of data rebuild and not data at all on my drive. Any idea what happened? tower-diagnostics-20160221-1134.zip tower-diagnostics-20160221-2041.zip

I consider this topic closed since my disk 2 is OK now. Thank you all for the help. Sadly a bigger issue came. My disk 3 red balled. This happened when I stopped the array so I witnessed it. I will open new topic because this time I think I have lost 2tb data. All disks that have issues since I upgrade to 6 version are Samsung. Might be coincidence might not....

rebuild finished for one more time 6 more files where placed in lost + found folder that where playable, so i just renamed them with original filename they had. i have runned new permissions on disk 2 and now my media/hd movies reappeared again before start add, replace drives so slowly move to xfs filesystem is it a good practice to run fsck check on all drives for integrity check?
