Hi I used this a while ago but am now not sure of something that you all said. If I use this at the c prompt rsync -av --progress /mnt/disks/Events_1/ /mnt/user/drives/Events_1/ and then interrupt the copy and restart the copy will it only copy the remaining files? If I run it immediately after the copy is complete will it just do nothing having confirmed that all the files are the same in each? If that is not what this code will do can someone give me the code that could do that please. Thanks!!! Jonf

thanks!

unraid ver 6.6.7 I'm Getting this message next to the 2 Parity drives - "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started " I used used Unbalance to more the contents of a drive so I would be able to have that drive bay free. I then used New Config and excluded Parity Drives and Cache and got this message only on the Parity drives. Is this bad? Can I fix it? Will the array be rebuilt when I start the array? Thanks!! JonF

thanks, your right. I'll delete my post

I did it via stopping and starting the array not powering down then powering up again. But it should work via powering down the server then turning it back on. Seems like this would be the safer way to do it. Any ideas why it is not working that way.(having a parity drive missing caused it to to start up correctly,) I tried it on each of my 2 parity drives with the same results. Thanks.

I have 2 parity drives I removed one (10tb) and replaced it with a precleared 12tb drive. I first just put the parity drive in another slot to get ready to preclear it . it was connected to the web but the system still recognized the drive as the parity drive and was working as usual. So I powered down the machine and removed the parity drive. the new precleared drive is in the pariy drive's prior slot. And now it is not connecting to the web. I would think that the new drive should now be an unassigned drive. and everything should be running smoothly and I should (I think just need to assign the missing parity drive to that drive. I cannot see my unraid server in my browser now. Its been on for way longer than usually takes for me to be able to see it in the browser Any thoughts? Thanks Jon

NEW TOPIC: MOVE-CANCEL I have a new topic. to keep it separate from the current one please put TOPIC: MOVE-CANCEL at the top of your response. Thanks. I was moving a lot of folders from one folder to another within a share. I selected a bunch and dragged and dropped it across to the folder on the other side and selected "move here" midway for whatever reason I hit cancel, It stopped quickly and then when to a grey screen. These are old files that i've recently moved in the array and I don't even know what was there at the time I was moving it . So I can't really check to see what happened to the files and if anything is missing. What is the VERY WORSE thing that could have happened when I hit cancel? Could the files have been deleted? Corrupted? Thanks! Jon

Does the terminal (command prompt window) need to be visible for it to continue working If I close the browser or unraid tab will it be there continuing when I reopen it like it happens with Krusader? thanks

New Topic I've seen recommendations somewhere else for doing 3 preclear cycles. It seemed like 3 passes was almost a standard. I've been doing only one. Any thoughts on that topic? Thanks Jon

Thanks! the update did it . 189 MB/s Thank you! Best Jon

looks like MB/s diagnostics attached tower-diagnostics-20181127-0806.zip

New Topic I'm preclearing an 8tb drive Its zeroing at between 10 and 12 mb/s is that normal?

It worked, It copied the missing files . the final result is that there are now the same number files in the source disk and the destination. Thanks everyone for the help!

Thanks! Thanks again for your mentoring!

before I run it I'll need confirmation. I'm pretty sure this is it. But would be great to just have the thumbs up.
