Thank you for the advice - I'm rebuilding parity and will probably swap the drive connections sooner rather than later

Hi, I just logged to my server to see a message that my parity disk is in error and has been disabled - it shows a red cross against the drive and a '1' in the errors column Can someone take a look at my diagnostics please? Not sure if I need to get ordering a replacement or if it's just one of those things that happen and a restart would work Thanks so much in advance tower-diagnostics-20230719-2125.zip

Thanks for your quick reply - there was an update available to me which I have installed - will keep an eye when my next parity check starts Thanks again for your help

Hi, like some others here, my log file is getting filled with the following every 6 minutes during a scheduled parity check - I couldn't see if there is an answer to this as yet

Not sure if it's a problem my end but I had Overseer working great. This morning there was an update for the docker which I applied and I can no longer connect - I'm getting 'This site cannot be reached xx.xx.xx.xx refused to connect. I'm using the default settings for the docker - not sure what other information to give

Hi, How do I update the server version. My client is saying server version 1.3.0.0 or higher required. When I load the page on my PC, it says that the new version (1.13.4.5251) is available - how do I update this? I have tried restarting the docker.

It's fair to say my cache is running on a sh*tty old drive - looks like it might be a good time to put in an SSD?

root@tower:/# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 232.9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 63 488397167 488397105 232.9G 83 Linux root@tower:/#

Thanks Squid I have just run FCP in extended mode and got some SMB file permission issues but it doesn't report anything about the cache. Here is the diagnostics tower-diagnostics-20180324-2124.zip

Fix Common Problems? Yes I think so

Sorry - what's FCP?

Hi, I've run the upgrade assistant to upgrade from 6.41 to 6.5 and it gives me this message: Issue Found: Cache drive partition doesn't start on sector 64. You will have problems. See here https://lime-technology.com/forums/topic/46802-faq-for-unraid-v6/?tab=comments#comment-511923 for how to fix this. This link tells me how to change some of my share settings but I don't really understand what I'm trying to do as it doesn't move everything off the cache drive so I don't want to proceed removing the cache drive and re-formatting it. Is this a new issue or has it just been introduced with 6.5? The instructions look as if they have been around a while.

Thanks Squid - that looks to have done the trick. Strange that the setting was automatic but with those ip addresses in the fields. It now looks good to me - thanks for your help

Thanks for the suggestions - the help around here appears so quickly!! I found that my router did not have static DNS addresses so I set those to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 I'm getting the error that it's unable to communicate with github and still don't appear to have any access from either unraid or any dockers with the exception of crashplan which seems to connect without any issues which seems odd although I guess it must open up some sort of secure access. I've enclosed the diagnostics tower-diagnostics-20180308-1924.zip

Thanks for the reply - unraid comes up with the GUI just fine so I can presumably use putty or the command line button. When I get the chance next, I will post the diagnostics.

I followed the instructions and attempted to update from 6.3.5 to 6.4.0 and then again yesterday to 6.4.1 and both times it appeared to work but my unraid server had no access to the internet - none of the dockers could reach their servers and the plugins tab couldn't identify if plugins were up to date or not. I took a backup of my flash drive and went back to that so I'm back up and running again. Obviously you need to see the log file - where do I find those - I took a copy of my flash drive before restoring 6.3.5 - should I run something to get the logs after the upgrade? Alternatively, would it be easier to create a new usb boot image?

I'm no longer getting any updates from iplayer. It looks like the last download I had was from 20th October. Looking at GitHub it appears there is a new version of the get-iplayer. Does the docker automatically get this?

Thank you to everyone that tried to help but you are not going to believe what the answer was. After trying to install a new flash drive with just a new copy of the OS I got the same behaviour. Today I reset my router and hey presto!! I am so annoyed with myself and BT but it all looks to be good now - I need to rebuild my dockers and plugins by that's a small task really

How do I start in safe mode? I've just been reading another thread about safe mode but couldn't see any instructions. Now that I've managed to stop docker loading,I can at least get a really slow GUI some of the time.

I've attempted to stop all the dockers and plugins now to try and rule that one out I'm now also getting this in my log file: Oct 15 11:00:20 tower emhttp: err: sendFile: sendfile /usr/local/emhttp/webGui/javascript/dynamix.js: Broken pipe

I tried clearing the cache although figured it wasn't that as IE and firefox not showing the GUI Looking in the SysLog is this the issue: Oct 13 22:26:20 tower emhttp: nothing to sync Oct 13 22:26:20 tower emhttp: err: need_authorization: getpeername: Transport endpoint is not connected

Not sure if anyone can help or provide some advice. I renamed the config\plugins folder and restarted. I now can use the GUI but it is so slow and I can't seem to get into my VM's through noVNC - it just shows the NOVNC background. Not sure what to do next - the GUI is so slow it's almost unusable.

Of course. I always tut when reading others post issues. Wasn't aware of how to run it through SSH but of course, if I'd actually read the instructions posted.... Here is the diagnostics. Still have no web gui but all of my shares are up and seem fine. tower-diagnostics-20161014-1955.zip

I have tried a shutdown and restart but will no GUI - can still get access via SSH and SMB shares. Might have to go to backup of the flash drive I saved before the last upgrade. Anyone have any other ideas?

Weirdly, I can get the main GUI in IE11 but the other tabs don't load or don't properly load. I get nothing in Chrome and I'm just trying Firefox now. Is it worth a shutdown and a restart?
