[(SOLVED) Just formatted 8TB HDD and lost all data, any chance for data recovery?]

Hi,

 

I went through the same issue in this post (Disk rebuild lost data), and I did the same mistake. Yes, unfortunately, I formatted the drive when I got the format unsupported message.

 

This is a brief of what happened:

- Disk 1 got disabled while the array is running.

- Restarted the server, didn't see any SMART errors, Disk 1 rebuild started.

- After around 50%, Disk 1 got disabled again, and rebuilding stopped.

- Checked the connections, restarted the server again, no SMART errors.

- When I started the array, the rebuilding didn't start, but I got a message saying that Disk 1 format is not supported and I have to format it.

- I did the format, thinking that the data still will be available through emulation.

- I lost around 7TB of data, Disk 1 is showing 8TB free space

 

Is there any chance for data recovery? I don't have a backup, the only way is to re-download all files again which will take months

 

Please let me know if you require any further information. Your help means a lot to me. 

Much appreciated.

[[Solved] [6.7.0] what's causing constant cpu spikes with read/write?]

alright, so this is what's causing cpu spikes? assuming i've installed a cache ssd (128gb), how would i go about moving appdata, domains, and system shares to it?

 

After installing the cache drive, go to Shares and change the Use cache disk to Prefer to these shares: appdata, domains, system, and any other share you want.

I think you have to run the Mover to take action.

[[DEPRECATED] Linuxserver.io - Rutorrent]

Hi.

I can't seem to modify any of my settings in my Rutorrent instance, with none of them persisting after container restart or update.

I tried to modify the downloads directory from "/downloads/incoming" to JUST "/downloads/" and to keep the port as one specific port and not a random one.

Whenever I restart the container, the modified settings NEVER take effect.

Is this a problem for anyone else?

Thanks,

Yes, it happens to me also.

The only workaround I found is to edit the configuration file (rtorrent.rc) located in (\\tower\appdata\rutorrent\rtorrent)

[[DEPRECATED] Linuxserver.io - Rutorrent]

New unRaid user here, I've few questions and I hope to find some answers.

 

Q1: Torrents downloaded by rTorrent creates folders/files with read permission only! Any idea how to fix it?

The profileMask is already set to 0777 .. Running the "New Permissions" tool have fixed the files permission, but would like to know if there is a permanent solution.

 

Q2: Anyway to stop ruTorrent from creating the completed/incoming/watched folders?

I made the Host Path: /mnt/user/ so the docker has created new shares in my unRaid.

 

Q3: Changes done in ruTorrent don't get saved. Every time I restart the docker I get the default settings. Any idea what's wrong?

 

Q4: I've installed 2 different ruTorrent dockers which have created 2 folders in the appdata with the same name, but one of them with capital T (ruTorrent and rutorrent). I've removed the other docker but the appdata folder was not deleted. Since Windows treat both folders the same, how can delete the extra one?

 

Thanks.

hello, 
i can not modify the following folder: Save path on the webUI: /downloads/incoming
(right click, save to.. and nothing happens, i think the correct webui save path should be: /incoming/ )

unraid container settings:
Container path:
/Torrent/

host path:
/mnt/user/DataArray/
 

the second issue is, (transmisson worked fine on the same port settings) 51413 (default) "port is closed" appears and download progress (and seed, the seed shouldnt be working on the "wrong" path settings..) does not work. 
 

it was working fine in the last week.. but (since the last update?) it has been broken somewhere.. 

(is it possilbe to revert "manually" from unraid CA  ? )

thank you!

 

Had the same issue, fixed it by 1) removing the ruTorrent docker, 2) reboot unRaid, 3) installed ruTorrent again.
