Reformating them to 512 seems to have worked a treat currently rebuilding the two new drives now. Here is is video that i followed for future reffernece if anyone else finds this thread looking for help

Yeah the drives are spining, when the LSI bios spins up they do not show. But if i enter its config, then I can see the drive the being displayed as 0 capacity. After doing some digging I am wondering if its due to where they came from before and maybe the sector size. So trying to reformat them in Ububtu using sg3-utils. Will see if that makes a difference. if not will get the log files from unraid,

Maybe think I have found the solution, wondering if the drives are 520 not 512. so following a youtube tutorial on how to reformat them to 512 so will find out in a few hours times if it has been successful

I currently have a couple of SAS drives in my set up, contected via a Lsi SAS9201-8i which is in HBA mode and detects the disks fine all working lovely. Intill one of the drives has started to show some signs of failing so i ordered a couple more SAS drives from ebay to replace, add some more storage and have a cold spare on hand. Unfortuately none of these new drives are being detected by the LSI card in the bios during bootup. So not really sure what to try next. Unless i have been sent 3 faulty drives Any advice would be awesome The New drives are seagate constellation es2. Have tried drives with different cables and in both ports of the LSI card and still no joy Thanks

After having to restore and rebuild a disk. All the files have ended in a lost and found share. Just wondering if anyone knows of any cleaver ways to resort this share in to a more organised way to help identify its contents. Ie some way to group files by date or type etc. As at the moment It’s a mess with loads of folders with single files etc in

I think i have got there with the help of space invader one videos, just need to get a usb keyboard working

Hi I realise this has probably been asked and answered but I got a bit lost looking for the answers in amongst all the huge amount of information. So I apologise. I have till now been using my intake server as file store. But have upgraded the hardware from an old pc and plus love to start doing some virtual machines etc. My server lives in my garage/gym. I would love to be able to run a windows machine off it to a tv screen, so that it can stuff like Zwift (a bike simulator and hat connects to the trainer) as well as then access that VM from my MacBook if I should wish (not sure what I want to do with it) hardware wise I have the following AMD Ryzen 7 1800x Asrock B450m mother board Gtx 980ti 32 gb ram, if anyone is able to help signpost me to some simple to follow instructions to get it working that would be awesome. I am starting from zero knowledge. thanks

Coll will do, just need to go to the garage to force a reboot

I have recently changed my sever to new hardware and after about 12-18 hours it becomes unresponsive. it still has power fans are spinning etc, but when i try to access the GU via the ip address or via the network folders. No idea on how to try and trouble shoot, i have the sleep plugin and have set that to always awake. Any other ideas Thanks Specs: Ryzen 7 1800x Asrock B450M GTX 980ti 32gb Ram (4 x 8gb Corseair 3000mhz) 1000W power supply tower-diagnostics-20200409-1501.zip

Thanks, although that has gone over my head, UD? Diags?

Thanks, dumb question time how do i repair the drive that is not mounted? as check file system status not an option for the unassigned disk?

Thanks, have ran the repair so will see what the outcome on that is. i do still have the original drive, I have tried to mount it as an unassigned drive but that has failed, not really sure on what the next step is. it wont mount to my mac.. Yep its moved every file to lost and found :(, its not the end of the world as i have the files saved elsewhere, just a pain and some not accessible under lockdown

Thanks, Just watched a video by space invader one as well about this, So i have ran the check, its given me quite a lot infact loads. If i run the repair i guess i am worried that all the files will now become Lost&found. If this happens is it then a case of manually resorting? Think there was about 1.5tb on the disk so ideally not the best and would love to avoid that

I moved my server over to new hardware, One of the drives flagged up with a smart error so i swapped the drive out to a new one in the process and it rebuilt from the parity. But it displays the following Unmountable: no file system. Not sure on the best way to approach fixing? PS, i am pretty in experienced with regard to unraid so might beed some of the basics explaining as well. Thanks Thanks

Dumb question time, amazon photo storage can i use use recline to automatically sync all the photos(or all content as it’s only photos) in one of my shares to amazons online photo storage, as it’s a final back up solution to store my photos, so ideally I would like this to be a automated system that runs when ever I upload a photo in to the share it will automatically sync and upload to the amazon account, is this possible, and how do I go about setting it up. Thanks

Bump anyone able to help?

Hi I am looking for a way to automaticly upload all the pictures on my array to my amazon drive storage account, ideally this would be as automated as possible so that when ever i add new pictures to the array it will automaticly upload these to amazon drive. This is to take advantage of the free prime photo storage as a way of having a final back up solution if i ever need it, hence the desire for it to be as automated as possible. Thanks in advance, oh i am also a pretty new user so if anyone as a simple guide on how to then that would be awesome

Thanks are they mac apps or dockers on the server? i am pretty new to all this

Thanks, will have a play when home later,

Not to sure of this possible, but what I would like is an archiving system that will automatically copy the contents of one folder to the unRAID, preserving the same file structure as is on my Mac, BUT Also when I delete a file on the Mac it does not delete it on the unRAID. The idea behind this is that I want to use it with my photos and Lightroom, so that I can edit the photos etc on the macs internal SSD etc, then when space is low/project is over I can delete them off the SSD, but if I need the files again point Lightroom at the unRAID folder for them to come up in the catalog. Hope this makes sense, there is another back up system running so just for mass storage.

Hi, I have my unraid now set up and the task of filling it with data from all my external hard drives, as this will take ages over the net work, about 4tb, i have follwed a youtube video to instal krusader and try and directly transfer all my data, that way. But i cant view any of the data on the drive, the drive shows up but no data. its all there when i am on my Mac. Probably something simple i have missed. thanks

Am I likely to experience any problems mixing both SAS and SATA drives in the same array thanks
