Thanks for the advice. I got it sorted.

I don't have the option to reinstall the container, only update. Do I need to delete it first, and will this remove the contents of the 'appdata' folder?

Yeah, I stopped backing up my flash drive because I thought connect did that these days. I guess I'll have to do my own backups in future. Thanks for the information.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but I have an update pending for my docker container of Immich but when i try an apply it I get the error: Configuration not found. Was this container created using this plugin? I've looked for a backup of the config in /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ but there is nothing. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks

Ended up replacing the failed disk, the array rebuilt successfully.

This is the existing log. I'm running an extended test now. unraid-smart-20250315-0959.zip

Disk 6 is showing as disabled, but disk 9 is showing as failed in Scrutiny. Thanks

Morning, I seem to have a disabled disk but I don't think it has failed a SMART test, but a disk, which is not disabled looks to have failed it's SMART test. Do I need to replace both? Thanks in advance. unraid-diagnostics-20250315-0629.zip

At what point is it wise to replace a disk which is possibly failing? And how do you tell?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not dissing Syncthing, I think it’s excellent. I just couldn’t get it to work for me in this specific case. I would have loved to use the recycle folder function in particular.

I'm backing up around 27TB of data, mostly .mp4 and .mp3. The issue I found with Syncthing was it never really finished cataloguing the data, even when given weeks, when it was already copied at the destination. Maybe if I had let it do the initial copy I wouldn’t have had this problem. I do use Syncthing for syncing data to mobile devices, and found it to be great, just not with huge amounts of data.

Thanks, that's certainly "food for thought".

So I have a very large media library, which I sync to a TrueNAS box as a backup. At the moment I use RSYNC but have tried Syncthing, but It never seemed to work reliably due to the huge amount of data. Does anyone do something similar? and what do you use? Thanks

Found it: /var/lib/docker/containers/

I have a container which is refusing to start, I try and view the log on statup but the window closes before I can view anything useful. Is there a way to stop the log window closing? Or is logged in a file somewhere? Thanks

I got disks replaced at the weekend without issue. Thanks for the advice.

Will do, thanks

The disk has not failed, it just get's write errors, so i'm assuming it's on it's way out.

The data disk which is getting errors is: WDC_WD40EFRX-68W_WD-WCC4E1YTKARZ (sdo). The array only has one parity disk. I have another array (mirror) which has a SSD which is failing according to SMART tests, but that's another issue.

So... Stop the array. Remove the failing disk. Start the array. Stop the array. Put the existing parity disk as the replacement disk for the failing disk. Put the new disk as the new parity disk. Copy the parity over. Restart the array when complete. Done. I can then upgrade another disk at a later date. Thanks

So... I have a 4TB disk, which is getting write errors, that needs to be replaced. I don't have a spare 4TB disk, but I do have two 8TB disks. The 8TB disks will be the first >4TB disks in the array, so I need to replace the parity disk first. What i'm proposing to do is replace the parity disk first, rebuild the parity, then replace the failing disk and rebuild from the new parity. Is this a safe thing to do? My concern is that the parity disk will be rebuilt from an array which contains a disk with errors. Will this produce a parity disk which contains corrup data? Or do I need to go buy a 4TB disk and replace the failing disk first? Thanks for reading. unraid-diagnostics-20240119-1006.zip

Thanks

I want to move the 'appdata' folder to a new cache drive. Can this be done just stopping the docker service or do I also need to stop the VM service? Thanks

Found the issue: It was a a PCI adapter card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SupaGeek-PCIe-Express-Adapter-Card/dp/B07CBJ6RH7 which was messing things up. Once removed, everything was fine. Does anyone know of a good quality version of this type of card?

I've flashed a Perc 310 recently for use with TruNAS. I look at doing this one. Thanks
