Thanks. I'm working on doing that right now. I checked and had fill up as my share fill method, and had 0kb as the minimum level. Obviously not a good choice. Perhaps unRAID should force a usable minimum. either way, I've changed it to 100MB minimum now, which should hopefully take care of this in the future. But, even so, why didn't unRAID handle filling the disc 'correctly' and not stumble when it got so full. I had started an update process on my media server, which would have resulted in lots of files being re-written with updated tag info. I assume it tried to do this 'in place' and killed the disc most of the files were on. I would have thought it should have used the cache disc, or at the least, saw the disc out of space and auto-corrected to move files to a disc with space. It seems like this is an unRAID 'error' that this could happen, but maybe it's just my stupidity/ignorance. Hopefully the xfs repair works for me and I can rebalance the drives to free up some space and get working again. thanks again.

I've been cleaning up some stuff on my server, and today I see that all of my pictures are gone I went into MC via putty to see if they still showed on the discs there, but it's telling me that it's unable to read the directory of disc 1 (I hope this is where all my pictures are). But, nothing in unRAID shows any problems. Disc 1 shows a green ball, and the smart report indicator is green also. No errors with the array that have been reported to me, and all appears well, except for my inability to get to/use disc 1 in my system. I've already rebooted, but issue persists. Sadly, the cleanup I was doing was a precursor to updating my backups, so I'm not fully protected if I can't get this working again (or if the pics aren't on that disc). Any help appreciated. media-diagnostics-20180206-1246.zip **EDIT to add more info** I just checked in the unRAID GUI and each other disc shows plenty of my picture directories and files, but they don't list in the windows share that points to the share Photos. It seems like disc 1 being 'missing' is causing the inability to see the photos on other discs for some reason. Should I revert to version 6.4 from 6.4.1 which I just updated to the other day. I don't want to work on anything else until I get this working right. Why isn't disc1 throwing any errors in unRAID? I expected to be warned about problems.

I guess I never considered that. I guess it is just what it is. Thanks for the input.

My normal ping is 600ms, so latency is a big issue. I kinda figured once the connection is handled, the latency is absorbed (it's all delayed, but stays steady). Maybe not. I have no cell service here, not for miles, satellite is the only option for me; sadly.

do you mean this entry? Key 6: Container Variable: VPN_PORT 1198 I don't remember adding that, i thought it was part of the template. Perhaps I need to just kill this container altogether and restart from scratch. Although, it seems I have it set right, that seems drastic.

I have them set to go to my SSD Cache drive. I guess I could send them to the unassigned SSD I use for my VM's as a test. Hopefully someone else sees something else I'm not doing right. I looked at the supervisord.log and it keeps saying "random port = False" which someone said is bad, but I've enabled/checked random incoming ports in the deluge interface settings several times, and it always looks like it's accepted the check, but when i restart the docker, it's back to not being checked. Not sure how that's happening.

this forum search function isn't great, so a search for slow speeds and slow downloads wasn't very helpful. So, I've got terrible satellite internet, and go over my data every month. But, they do allow me my 'normal' speeds during the day, when the network isn't busy. My download speed is 12 Mbps, and 1 Mbps upload. I just ran a test and got 9 Mbps down and 1 Mbps upload, which is typical during the day here. I have felt my download speeds were very slow with Deluge for some time, but just kinda ignored it, but now it's annoyed me enough to try to 'fix' it. I know part of the issue will be available seeds, so I went to a torrent site and just grabbed something with over 3000 seeds, so it should be about as fast as it will get. I watched it climb to about 400 KiB/s, then settle into a more normal for me 125 KiB/s. I assume this isn't normal and I should be able to get better speeds than this. With SABnzbdVPN docker I get 1.2MB/s regularly. I just added something as a test and SAB has leveled off at about 700-800 KB/s. both are using the same VPN settings. I included screenshots of the SAB and deluge docker setups and also the deluge bandwidth settings. I think I have it setup right from what I've read here, but it seems something isn't right. any advice appreciated.

A question about permissions: I used to have the setting at 770, which mostly worked, but Fix Common Problems complained that the files didn't have the right permissions, and I had to run the Docker Safe new Permissions script in tools to 'correct' them. So, I changed Sonarr to use 777 instead, and now FCP doesn't complain, but my (JRiver) media player doesn't like the new permissions. I used to be able to "Update Library (from tags)" to get the program to see the new dimensions (1080 from 720) because Sonarr found the better file. But after changing to 777 JRiver fails when I try to update; which tells me it doesn't like the new permissions for some reason. Below is a screenshot of a few files (in green) that Sonarr just replaced and you can see their permissions are not the same as the rest of the files. tl;dr: how do I set the permissions in Sonarr to match what Docker Safe New Permissions sets them to?

I got a warning this morning that said unRAID file corruption: 1-22-2018 11:27AM Notice [Media] - bunker verify command Found 6 files with SHA256 hash key mismatch I'm not sure it's this plugin throwing the warning, nor am I sure how to find these 6 files. The Fix Common Problems tool isn't showing any errors, and I'm not sure what else might notice such a thing. Suggestions on how to proceed?

That worked great. My 2TB drive now uses 2GB after reformatting. i hope I never need the improved recovery stuff, but good to know it's there. not sure it's worth moving all my files off of the other drives to reformat them, but I did consider it.

Upon entering the page to re-run the extended test, I was greeted with the scanning window. it's been scanning for almost 10 minutes now. I understand this is not normal. how do I help troubleshoot why it's taking so long scanning, and/or how can I just stop it? I opened a new window and quickly hit run extended test, and it started. I was then able to see this error... Unable to communicate with GitHub.com Reset your modem / router or try again later, or set your to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Also make sure that you have a Gateway address set up (Your Router's IP address) I assume that's the cause of the extended hanging of the scan. Problem is I have shitty satellite internet and it's pretty intermittent, so there's not much I can do to fix this, other than try again. I can't do that while the popup window is displayed though.

Squid posted in another thread that FCP will scan for duplicates, which I did not know. I've just done it, and it did find many on my system; which is great. however, the only way to see the results was in the popup window, and the formatting made it quite hard to follow and get to the problem files. Is there/could there be a report/log I could grab to pull into some other program to help format to make it easier to act upon? Also, some of the errors referred to illegal characters, and 3 of my files had ... as the 'character' it seems to have had issue with. I checked in my media program, and it seems I have it entered as 3 dots, not one ellipsis character, so I'm not sure if it's not saving that way, or if the test is flawed. I'm not sure how to 'fix' the issue either way. Otherwise; great job on this test, it helped me clean up a lot of stuff. I'm running again to see what I may have missed on the first pass.

My bad, I didn't realize which thread this was in, I thought I was in a different thread. My mistake, sorry.

It looks like it only showed duplicate files with different paths/names, and has no reference to the disk they are on. the file integrity plugin shows dups on different disks, like 2nd screenshot. This is what I was looking for. It just seems this tool doesn't update in real-time, as some of the dups it reported have been corrected, but it's still showing them. Oh well.

I just added a new disk and wanted to be sure it's protected. I checked and all the other disks showed green checks for Build up-to-date and also for Export up-to-date. All good so far. I built for the new disk, green check. I exported for that disk, blue X. It's brand new to the array, and blank, so fine, nothing to export I though. then I noticed the include duplicate file hashes in Find command checkbox and thought 'what's this?', so I checked it and hit find. I saw that it searched for duplicate files; awesome!! I realized that I had lots of duplicated music files in one folder, so I used Midnight Commander to move them from one disk to the other, and told it to overwrite. I confirmed that the folder was no longer on the old disk I copied from; perfect. I then came back to the tool and re-ran the find, but the list shows these same files as duplicates. I didn't expect this, since i just moved them, and also because it's telling me the build up-to-dates are correct on both disks. I assume that I need to re-build the hashes, so I'm doing that now, but was concerned that it says up-to-date, but seems it maybe isn't. I just wanted to confirm where it's actually checking for duplicates, because MC shows one of the duplicated folders isn't on the disk this tool shows it to be on. Where did I go wrong; or is there some bug here?

ha, funnily enough, I'm working on finding duplicates right now. I noticed in the file integrity plugin, there's an option to do so, and I didn't realize how many of my files have gotten duplicated (not sure how). I checked community applications for "duplicate" and found dupeguru docker, and it just finished installing. I'm running it for the first time right now, but so far it doesn't seem to be doing much/anything. I'd prefer if this tool would do it for me instead; less to install/maintain. **it only looks for duplicate files in the shares, not duplicates on multiple disks, so not a solution anyway

It does. Thank you again for sharing your work with us. It's been very helpful!

I can confirm that this worked for me also. I suspect this port was added to the template after I originally installed the docker. fix common problems checks against the current template, which includes this additional port. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

I think you misunderstood. I was originally only asking why the difference in 2 empty disks. After learning about the increased functionality, I asked how to reformat the old 2TB drive to gain the advantages of the new file system improvements, and am willing to give up the 2GB to get said advantages.

hmmm... seems like re-formatting it might be a good thing. How do i do that while it's in the array? it's empty now.

that would make sense, it was formatted years ago, just after xfs was added to unraid Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

weird. I wonder why it takes 2GB if I format (erase everything), but 34MB is I just empty it. What's taking up the 2GB?

hmmm... I didn't think that was the issue, based on a 2TB drive I just emptied, which shows it only using 34MB

I was just concerned the ad block issue is/was related to the scanning taking forever. I just went back to the page and the scanning window came back up; even though it had finished the last time i was on the page. I checked credits and see where it comes from. I didn't realize it would scan that part of the page if credits window wasn't opened. Guess I was wrong. Link works Thanks again for everything,

I'm not terribly concerned about 4GB, but I don't know where it's been used. I've checked by hitting the folder icon on the array devices tab, and also via putty and midnight commander. both show the drive as having no files, but the array devices tab shows 4.02GB being used on this drive. what's up?
