ok thanks!

ok thanks! everything is working now. but i never got an answer for:

so i did the new config. so do I got to wait until the Parity-Sync is finished and then stop the array again and switch the 2tb drive slot with the 8tb drive? also if i just have the 16tb drive as the parity drive(only the 16tb drive as parity) if 2 drives fail would the parity drive be able to run both drives or only one?

oh wait is this what i need to do?

so when i try that it does not allow me to turn the array back on. unless i need to check the "Yes, I want to do this" option?

hello, I was wondering how do i move some of my drives without losing data? so, I want to remove the 2tb drive and I will be adding a 16tb drive. so I was going to move one of the 8tb drives from the party to the slot of the 2tb drive but I don't want to lose that data off of the 2tb drive, so is it going to automatically transfer the data or do I have to do something different? the 16tb drive will be a party drive and i was also going to transfer the other 8tb drive at some point so the 16tb drive will be the only party drive. I did look at this but im still not sure how to do this: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#adding-disks

the fix by @imagoodusername work for me! but im getting this error when I try to view Applications: i'm on the "latest" version i'm not sure why it trying to go to localhost and not my unraid ip also, it seem to be stuck in bridge mode. I can't change it ip address or put it in host mode(well it does switch but the interface does not change it ip address)

Well I think rebooting it fix the cache drive because it has not showed an error since rebooting. But I will replace the drive once I get a chance.

yea i realized that now. lol so i do have one more question about the cache drive. is it possible to set it up to just be used when im uploading file to the server and not to store data from application that are running on the array. like when i change the share like appdata. almost instantly the cacha drive start to have data moved to it from one of the dockers(i set it to just "yes"). i just want the data that i upload to the server to be stored to the cache and then the mover will move my data to the array. is that possible?

i think I'm misunderstanding what a parity drive is. i was thinking the parity drive has a copy of the array drives.

so, update: the cache drive is running again and is reading and writing again with no error so far. i started running the mover(it working so far). ah that make sense! will one of the 8tb parity drive stop being in parallel when i go past the 8tb mark for storage? and will it be used to store a backup? or do i have to do something manually? i'm at 7.70tb out of 14tb of used storage right now. ok i started to do this and the mover almost got everything moved but there a few mb of data that it can't move. how do i move files? or should I somehow delete the file? it's in appdata and it's for docker but all my docker are off right now.

ok i will try that. thanks for the help! i will update what happen and mark as solved if i don't need anymore help.

ok, but maybe it will work until i replace it🤔.(i will give it a try) what setting should i set it to then?

i would have thought it would be 16tb( or 14tb). yea i got it used when i first got the server. i'm not going to be home for about 2 weeks. is there something i could try to do? like stop the array and start it back up? or reboot the server? i forgot to ask but for the plugin Fix Common Problems it also saying that docker appdata location is not a cache-only share and i should change it to that. but when i did it started to fill my cache drive to 100% full.(this was a few months ago when i did this). but what i want is to only use the cache drive when i transfer files to via SMB and just allow the docker and vm to use the main drives to store data. is that possible?

hello, I'm having an issue with my cache drive. and I have no idea why it doing this. first thing I notice was that the cache drive was spin down( it rear for it to spin down or I just never see it spin down). and SMB was not working until I spin the drive back up again manually. then I notice the Fix Common Problems plugin was showing an error saying unable to write to cache and I check cache drive log and there some error messages(check pic). any idea what this mean? also, mover will not move any files for the question about the Array. i have 3 disk drives and 2 party drive and 1 cache drive(1tb) and both party drives are 8tb and the disk drive are 8tb, 4tb, 2tb. but i notice that the array is saying it has a total size of 8tb when it was doing a Parity-Check. any idea why it would saying that? i thought it would make the backup bigger, im i wrong?

I was wondering if my dell r710 server can support this cpu: https://ebay.us/5OuHA5. i currently have Intel® Xeon® CPU L5630 @ 2.13GHz the motherboard is 07THW3 Version A00. (that what unraid says).

I want to run about 3 vm maybe windows or Linux. I have a Dell r710 server. I was originally using vnc but it was unreliable. Graphics card I found that might work but was wondering if they do: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124083078658 https://www.ebay.com/itm/172708345789 And any recommendations that are cheap.

Ok i will try that and I try to switch it with another drive and it doing the same thing so I think their something with the wire or slots or their dirt in the slot

i have moved it but still has issues

well the thing is it a dell r710 server so it only has slots not cables

one of my 8tb drives is acting up. i tried to add it to my array as a disk drive and it was replacing a 2tb drive that was going to be in a new computer build and was going to buy a new drive at some point as a parity so that all data will be protected. when i put the drive in as a replacement drive. it accepted it. but after a few mins of recovering the drive it got disabled. the email i got said it was in a error state/ or read error. so, i just restarted the array and added the 2tb drive back and it's right now rebuilding to the parity drive. i have tried to see if smart can see any error and it just stuck at 90%. it has a history of UDMA CRC error. this drive is brand new too tower-diagnostics-20191229-1945.zip

think you for the help

true, i might just return the other 8tb drive

i just realized i could just move the 4tb drive down as a disk drive and leave one in the party 8tb drive and bring the other 8tb one over also as a parity drive. right?
