Thank you This feature seems to be of help with speeding up copying and duplication of data. I have no idea how useful this would be to me in the real world but I wonder why UnRaid would incorporate it if it wasn't of much use. Would anyone from the moderation or Limetech staff like to jump in here? Nevertheless, I appreciate your thoughts, @neohidra It's always good to learn new things! D

Thank you very much.

Hi I have just added a 1050Gb SSD disk to my array and formatted it to XFS. I notice that it starts its life on the array empty but with 7.5Gb space already used. This seems like an awful lot to me. Is this normal? Thanks D

How about if you copied and renamed the activated uuid to a non activated uuid name? I'm not sure what data the uuid contains but I'm sure Ed (and others) will know.

I think I solved it and post it here for others. The order displayed is defined by the order of the folders in config/plugins/user.scripts/scripts It appears you can rename these without having to alter the name of the script in User Scripts. At least that seems to work for me. I hope that helps D

I've forgotten how to order the script list to my preferences. Can anyone help me out? Many thanks D

Thank you, I shall put a drill through it!

I have been preclearing some of my disks prior to adding them to my server. Some are clearly suspect but I have this one 2Tb disk and I would like to know more. Is anyone able to look at these two reports and tell me if this disk is useable for anything? I was thinking I could use it as a cache write disk and set up separate cache pools for appdata, domains etc. Do you think it might be worth a shot? Thanks all D preclear_disk_WD-WCAZAF809308_21462.txt WDC_WD20EARX-008FB0_WD-WCAZAF809308-20230510-0904.txt

Thank you so much, Jorge. I will try as you suggest. This morning (UK) I did discover a cache backup I made in 2020 and nothing of huge importance has changed since then, so, if all else fails the appdata directory from that might be a good starting point? Once again, I really appreciate the help you have offered Duncan

root@Tower:~# btrfs-select-super -s 2 /dev/sds1 No valid Btrfs found on /dev/sds1 ERROR: open ctree failed 😪

root@Tower:~# btrfs-select-super -s 1 /dev/sds1 No valid Btrfs found on /dev/sds1 ERROR: open ctree failed

Shall I start the array?

And I get the message as shown:

Hi It was reformatted XFS I can put it back

Here they are: tower-diagnostics-20230506-2040.zip syslog.txt

So, don't shout at me. You can't be harder on me than I have been! I have (had) a pool of 4 cache drives on BTRFS. For some unfathomable reason I reformatted the first one (because it came up on unassigned drives with a different label). Now the entire cache pool is coming up as "Unmountable: no file system". I have removed the reformatted disk and restarted the array hoping the remaining three will rebalance. The rebalance button is greyed out and says it is only available when the array has started, which it has. In addition, every so often the array stop button goes greyed out and the message changes to "unavailable: --btrfs operation is running". (see screenshots). Is anything actually happening? My question, basically, is "Am i fu*ked"? Is there any prospect of recovering the data on this cache pool? I do know it didn't contain any actual server "media data" but, of course, it does contain all appdata, VMs etc so all dockers and VMs are disabled. Can anyone advise my best next steps before I go nuclear and reformat the entire cache pool and try to re build it from scratch? Many thanks D

And finally, just to confirm: When I copy the files off the disk to be reformatted, may I copy them to disks of smaller sizes? I suspect yes but in that case, does it enhance the case for data verification? Equally, might it be simpler to replace the drive with a new one, formatted to XFS, and write the files onto it from the old Reiserfs disk which can then be formatted and added to the array or otherwise disposed of? I ask because I have a bunch of 1Tb disks but the two disks I need to convert to XFS are both 2Tb disks. I'm wondering what would be the slickest, most efficient method of getting the job done?

Many thanks Larry This was, indeed the solution. There were a few issues. One being that I was on OS v6.9.2 and the UNRAID upgrade page said I should be able to access the server GUI which, of course, I could not. However, I was able to access the Flash directory via MAC's Finder and rename the .pem files, which gave me access. Secondly, there is no "Upgrade Cert" button in OS v6.11.5 which I was upgraded to. but I was able to do the same thing using the blue 'help screens' on the Settings page. All is now working perfectly. Thanks for your prompt help. I was pulling my hair out yesterday! D

I think I have the same problem. The server works, in that I can access the docker apps that are running, like Krusader, Plex, Radarr, Sonarr etc but I cannot access the server itself in a GUI form. Any ideas, guys? Could it be related to the decision last April to remove the requirement to register the server with Unraid? Cheers D

HELP! I've had my server disconnected for some months whilst I did some house remodelling. The server has not been moved but was shutdown and physically disconnected. It was working perfectly at the point of last shutdown. Now when I come to boot it up again something very strange has happened. The server will boot to the command line, no problem. It will not boot to OS + GUI, or at least the screen goes blank and no GUI is present. At the same time, I am unable to access the server GUI via the LAN. However, I can access the dockers which are running, like Krusader, Emby, Sonarr and Radarr. I can, also, access the server via Terminal on my Mac. Further, I can access and the IPMI pages of the Supermicro shell on a different local IP address. There is some connection going on because if I type in the server address of 192.168.1.14 on my laptop or phone, the page redirects to https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.unraid.net/Main (where xxx are 40 numbers & characters) and I get the error screen: This site can't be reached. This happens only when the server has powered up. I am sure the solution is simple but I am flummoxed, particularly as I can only access the server files via command line and that is not my skillset. Can any kind soul shed light on the problem? D

Thanks for your help on this. It appeared to be the PLEX_CLAIM change which had tripped me up plus something(s) else. Despite being fully updated it simply wouldn’t work, so I deleted all but the appdata, including the template and started again. Now it works fine.

Well I have logged out of both the app and the plex.tv site, changed the password and logged back in again. That has not enabled access to my server. That is what I mean by "it doesn't seem to be that". I have googled "What if Your Plex Account Requires a Password Reset?" and I came up with: Docker For Docker installations, you’ll need to generate a claim token (via https://www.plex.tv/claim) for your Plex account and then set that as the value of the PLEX_CLAIM parameter of the Docker configuration. Refer to the Plex Media Server Docker documentation for more details. However, as I said, I cannot find the PLEX_CLAI(M parameter in the docker config. I can't give you information I don't have. I posted the docker log and got a somewhat unhelpful response. I don't know what other information you need. You did ask for the admin panel log. Where would I find that? Thanks

No, it doesn't seem to be that but I do have a "Plex Claim" token to be pasted into the PLEX_CLAIM parameter. The problem is I cannot see that option Any ideas?

Ahh, that could be it. I am in the process of rebooting but will check that out and report back. Thanks! D

I'm not sure what you mean by "claiming my server yet". As i mentioned, My server was working perfectly (and has been for about 10 years) but does not anymore. I have a Movies share on my server which should be accessible by Plex but somehow plex does not recognise the docker container PlexMediaServer
