    First server crash, now myriad new issues...

    in General Support

    Posted

    Aaaaaaaaaaaand the shares disappeared again, just as was happening to other people in this other thread.

    I rebooted and tried running chmod as mentioned in that other thread and it worked.  We'll see if it makes any differences long-term.

    Anyone have any idea why my cache disk is suddenly unmountable?  I don't want to format it and lose whatever's on it...anyone have an idea to get it back without formatting it?  I'm thinking I may just have to format it...

    Rebooted again and all my shares are back.  That's nice.  Gotta say, that doesn't instill great faith in this operating system...

    Either way, all that's back.  Some Dockers are back up and running, which is awesome, but I also have a bunch of them not acting right.  Going to have to go through and see wtf is up in the morning.  Good times.

    You should disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings until you get things stable again. Many of your array disks are very full, you really want to keep more free space on each disk in case you need to do filesystem repair on any of them.

     

    I've added more space recently and yea, definitely want more space on the disks...is there a way to "balance" them?

    Something is weird.

     

    What is the output (via the terminal button) of 

    ls -ail /mnt/

    and 

    ls -ail /mnt/user

     

    Can you also stop the array and to to Global Share Settings and make a change (any change) - Apply it and then revert it


    Hey, @Squid...I ran these and this was the output.  First one looks normal(ish) but the second one?  No idea.  "Transport endpoint is not connected"?  Same thing when I try to change permissions as mentioned previously.

    I just made a thread about my specific issues...log and some more details can be found here.

    Good afternoon:

    I had my server flat out crash a couple days ago for the first time in literally years.  Thought I got it back up and running but, as time goes on, the more issues I find.  Maybe you all have seen/heard of some of this stuff before and could point me in the right direction...

    First issue - All of my Docker containers were gone.  I've actually had this happen before, went in and got them all added back, thought that was it.

    Second issue - Noticed that none of them appeared to be working.  Looked at the logs and noticed they all seemed to be saying something about directories not existing or something.  Weird.

    Third issue - Did some more digging and found these "path does not exist" errors...

    Fourth issue - Opened up the command line to try to go there and see what was up and got the bizarre "transport endpoint is not connected" error that is also pictured.  No earthly idea wtf that even means...

    Anyone seen any of this before?  Log attached.

    Thanks.

    Errors on parity disk?

    Your syslog is full of ACPI messages so can't see anything about what might have happened with parity. It isn't giving a SMART report, could be bad connection or could be bad disk.

     

    Shutdown, check connection, both ends, SATA and power, including splitters. Reboot and post new diagnostics.

     

    Not related, but I recommend leaving more free space on your disks than you have. Full disks don't perform as well, and more importantly, filesystem repair needs some room to work in if that ever becomes necessary.

     

    It's a Proliant server...there are no SATA cables or splitters or anything.

     

    And yea...it's pretty full. I need to add another couple disks. 

     

    As far as replacing the parity disk, do I just take the array down, yank that disk, put the new one in and start the array back up? Or is there more to it?

    You linked to the parity swap procedure, but that isn't what you describe doing, and parity swap isn't what you need to do. The name is confusing but the point of parity swap is to replace a data drive with a larger disk when parity isn't large enough to allow it. It works by copying parity to a larger disk then rebuilding the data disk to the original parity drive. You don't need to do that.

     

    And your description doesn't give enough information to really suggest what you do need to do. There are several kinds of errors that can be displayed to the user and some don't necessarily mean a disk is failing.

    So we can get a better idea of what you do need to do

     

    attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread

    Errors on parity disk?

    Uh oh...my parity disk has 992 errors on it! Looks like it's giving up the ghost. 

     

    As far as replacing it goes, this is what I found.

     

    Is it really as simple as array offline, old disk out, new disk in, array online? That's what it seems to say even though it's not quite the procedure I'm looking for.

     

    Is there better info somewhere?

     

    Also...I know the parity disk dying right now isn't really that big of a deal as long as an error doesn't occur on another disk (or more?). What happens if another drive DOES die before I can get the parity disk replaced? Is ALL data gone or just the corrupt data on that disk?

     

    Info:

     

    unRAID version - 6.8.3

    Array details - Six 8TB drives, five data, one parity, 40TB total, 36.8TB used. (Yes, I'm a data hoarder...)

    Other disks - 1TB SATAIII cache disk, 2 other random SATAIII disks that aren't a part of the array.

    Hardware - Running on an HP Proliant server with 2 Xeons, 64GB RAM, etc. Its old. Need to upgrade. 🤣

     

    Thanks!

    Anyone else ever have movie files disappear randomly?  I just noticed that I have a LOT of files that have seemingly decided not to stick around for the long haul.  No idea why.  I KNOW I had them before, but now they're gone.  The directories are still there but they're empty.  I think it's something going on with Radarr as, even if I scan, it's still showing all the files as downloaded.

    Any ideas?  This is really weird...

    Guess I'm going to have to stop the array again and see if there's a "format" button somewhere.  Don't remember having to do that before but that's the only thing I can think of.  I can't stop the array right now as I have things going on on the server that I have to wait for.  Will give it a shot and let you all know how it goes.
