Thanks!

Fix Common Problems showed that Disk 1 had read errors (see screenshot). A short smart self-test confirmed it. I have also attached the diagnostics file. I would be grateful for any pointers on how I should proceed. Cheers, Stephen tower-diagnostics-20260227-1553.zip

You mean my syslog? I'll check it. I ran Memtest86 for a while and it reported ECC errors, all corrected. Do I need to act on this? (Memtest86 report attached) MemTest86-Report-20250119-194724.html

Hi - I'm getting this error when "Fix Common Problems" runs. Diagnostics attached. Any help appreciated 😉 tower2-diagnostics-20250119-2129.zip

Thanks Michael

Thanks for the responses - I checked https://horizontechnology.com/news/smart-attributes-for-predicting-hdd-failure/ and the only predictor of drive failure that my drive has is attribute ID 5. My extended SMART self-test shows 8 ID 5 (reallocated sectors) with a threshold of 10, so the drive hasn't reached the threshold yet. The other predictors (ID 187, 188, 197, 198) are all zero. I want to play it safe, but I don't want to replace a HDD needlessly. I understand that nobody can predict a HDD's failure, but would I be over-cautious to replace this HDD, with the only predictor of failure not having even reached the threshold yet?

The 'Array' section of my 'Dashboard' warns that Disk 2 has 1 Smart Error. The 'Attributes' page of Disk 2 shows 8 reallocated sectors. Is this anything to worry about? I have attached screenshots, diagnostics and SMART check files. tower-diagnostics-20241031-2155.zip tower-smart-20241031-2138.zip

Where do I find "/tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/Backup" in order to view my rsync logs? Sorry to ask such a basic question, but I have searched the unRaid forums without an answer

Sorry - just did a reboot and no longer getting this warning

I'm getting this warning even after making the recommended change in Docker Settings

Solved - I used the USB Creator tool to recreate the USB stick - no change. Then I followed these instructions which resolved this issue - boot time is now about 2 minutes

I just ran scandisk on the USB drive in my Windows PC, but it found no errors. After error-checking I re-inserted it in the Unraid server, and boot time was about 9 minutes.

I'm experiencing exactly the same issue, and booting takes much longer (maybe 5 minutes) than my other Unraid server. I have included the results of the command 'ls -lah /boot', and attached my diagnostics zip. I would be grateful if someone could check these, and let me know if I should also follow trurl's recommendations. Note that unlike the original poster, I have no '.rec' files.

Hi - I want to use hardlinks to minimize disk activity when using Radarr, Sonarr, etc. I plan to follow the Trash guide for Unraid ( https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Unraid/ ) I noticed that when I created a sub-folder under the top-level share (data), the owner was 'root' and the default permissions were 'drwxr-xr-x'. However my existing "Movies, TVShows, etc' shares are owned by 'nobody' and permissions are 'drwxrwxrwx'. Who and what should the owner and permissions be? In fact, ALL my other shares are owned by 'nobody', and permissions are 'drwxrwxrwx' (I am not concerned about security) My second question concerns moving my existing movie, tv and music files from their current shares to the new sub-folders. Can I simply use rsync or Krusader to move them? I have setup Krusader per Spaceinvaderone's video to allow instant copy/move from share to share, but does this apply to copy/move from share to subfolder under a share?
