Added the new drive, rebuild the array, and now preclearing the old drive and afterward running some SMART checks. After cancelling the rebuild, it doesn't show any more bad sectors.

Never mind found the answer just by Googling it. Thank you. I am adding the new drive for parity. I think the old parity drive might me under warranty. I'm going to check and see if it can be replaced.

Well, I just started the rebuild of the old drive. Would it be safe to cancel the rebuild and replace it with the new 4TB drive instead. I rather be safe than sorry?

I haven't started any rebuilds yet. I am waiting for the preclear to be complete for the new 4TB drive. All of the data appears to be fine in all the drives. I just would like for the parity drive to be good again. I'll follow trurl direction to rebuild the parity drive after the preclear is complete. Thank you guys for the help.

I swapped the first disk, and let it completely rebuilt. Everything was fine. Thereafter, I swapped the second disk, let it rebuilt. There was an error messages stated the parity drive had 1 error during the rebuild. I let it completely rebuild, and that is when I noticed the parity drive had a red X next to it, but all of the other drives are good. I did shut down the server completely to do the disk replacement. So, shut down, remove and install new disk, start array, let it finish rebuilding. During the first disk replacement and rebuilt everything was good. Second disk replacement, shut down, remove and install new disk, start array, let it finish rebuild. It showed 1 error and the parity drive had a red X. The array is good. All of the drives are green and no errors. It is just the parity drive that has the red X. tower-diagnostics-20180818-1325.zip

I've been replacing two 2 TB drives with two 4TB drives. When I switched the first drive everything was fine. Thereafter, I switched the second drive, and the parity drive had a red X (Disabled/Faulty drive). What I've done: 1) Shut down the server. 2) Checked all connections 3) Turned on the server----still red X 4) Shut down the server 5) Moved the parity drive to a different slot 5) Turned on the server---still red X When I go to the WebGUI, and click on the parity drive, under the ATTRIBUTES section, it has a yellow message: 197 Current pending sector.... Raw Value: 1. Under the SMART reports it states no errors. I've also ran a SMART short self-test and attaching the file. I've also attached the log file. I'm currently preclearing a 4 TB drive to replace this one just in case. Thank you for any help. Currently using UnRaid 6.5.3 tower-smart-20180818-1126 (1).zip tower-syslog-20180818-1123.zip

I would like to thank CHBMB for helping me and fixing my issue with UnRaid 6.5.2 and Plex. It was a network issue, which he figured out in a few minutes, and I was pretty much giving up.

My last name is Oviedo, but my great-grandparents were from Spain. I was born in Central America. I've been told that Oviedo is a nice place. May be one day I will visit.

I'm thinking of possibly upgrading to 6.5.1, and uninstalling Plex and re-installing it under 6.5.1. May be that would work?

Followed the instructions again. Everything installs and works fine including Plex with in-network access. However, it doesn't work with out of network access. I noticed under Plex Settings that it shows accessible out side network, but there is no private / public IP and no internet access. I had to open the port under my router settings before in order to access Plex outside network with UnRaid version 6.3.5, but for some reason it isn't work for UnRaid 6.5.1. It's 4 AM in CA, and I've been messing around with this for 3 hours already. So, I'll revert back and stay on 6.3.5 for now. May be one of new future version will eventually by plug and play and work. Thanks for your help.

Yes, I did. Everything seemed to be working, but I never tested accessing Plex outside my network until yesterday, and it wasn't working. I went under the Plex setting, and it stated it was accessible outside the network, but it wasn't. I supposed I can give it another try and test it out, but I haven't been able to upgrade past 6.3.5 version due to this issue.

Updated from 6.3.5 to 6.5.1 without issues. I mainly use UnRaid for Plex streaming. Under the linux Plex docker setting it states that the server is accessible outside network, but when I tried to play a movie while outside my network, it wouldn't connect. I also tried to update the Plex docker, and it wouldn't update. I guess back to 6.3.5 since that's the last UnRaid version that works for me.tower-syslog-20180513-1120.zip

I was having the same issues as you. The server would work fine, which I mainly use for Plex streaming. I took my server apart and checked all the connections. It was pretty dirty inside of it as well. Everything appeared fine. I noticed this started to happened after upgrading to version 6.3.2. I just left it alone and waited for the 6.3.3 version. I upgraded to the newest unraid version, ran the new permission under the Tools menu, thereafter I did a parity check. I was still having issues with the WebGui being slow. A few days later, the WebGui started loading fast and it was responsive like it used to. So, it pretty much got fixed by itself. However, I must add that some of my hard drives are pretty old. So, I've been buying new HDD whenever I see the 4 TB on sale for $99.99 or less.

If I transfer to the cache drive and / or shared folder via my Window 7 PC, I get between 50 to 90 Mbps transfer speed with a 2 GB file. However, if I use my Win 10 HTPC, I only get 1 to 12 Mbps transfer speed. So, I supposed the culprit is the Win 10 HTPC, which I didn't have this issue before. The HTPC is connected to the router, my Win 7 PC is connect to a switch. I'm going to connect the Win 10 to the switch as well, and see if that does anything. Also, I will be switching Ethernet wires just to make sure that's not an issue either. The other issue that still persist with both Win 7 and Win 10, is the UnRaid GUI is really slow to load and respond to anything I click. Again this started happening with the last update. I wonder if I revert back to the previous software if this issue would be fixed?

Let me test the cache drive. I usually just transfer to the shared folder.

Here are my results: diskspeed.html mdcmd.txt

Today is my only day off. I've been working 10hr or more. So, I haven't had time to do this. I'm running the script as I am typing this.

Download the diskspeed.sh to the root or to the config/plugins folder?

Here's the diagnostics report. I hope it is the correct file. Thank you for your help. The Web GUI seems more responsive after the parity check. I transferred another file about 2 GB in size. The speed varied from 7 Mbps to 17 Mbps. Prior to the parity check, it wouldn't go any faster than 10 Mbps. tower-diagnostics-20170322-1903.zip

I haven't had an issues with UnRaid for a long time. However, I started having issues once I upgrade UnRaid to 6.3.2. The GUI is very slow and lately I've been having transfer speed issues to were a 2 GB file would take 30 min to transfer. Last night my transfer speeds were less than 10 Mbps. I've ran a parity check without any errors. Would someone please help me out on this. Thank you. tower-syslog-20170321-1714.zip

I used to use a couple of Dune Media Players with Zappiti. Then I switched back to HTPC with KODI. Now, I still use a HTPC for my living room + 5.1 surround sound + Plex Media Player. My master bedroom TV supports Plex. My kids tablets and cell phones can access Plex as well. My parents and mother-in-law have access to my server's movies / tv shows via Plex as well. So, Plex it is!

Huh, then I have no idea! I usually clean out my computers at ~100 PSI Hope you guys aren't cleaning them out with the drives still in. Drives (except for the helium filled ones) have tiny holes (and filters) to equalize pressure and prevent dust from getting into them. The last thing you want to do is force the dust in. I remove the drives out and clean everything. I don't leave the drives in and use the air compressor since I don't want to push any air/dirt in the drive.

I love those HDD cages. I've got one and two Suoermicro ones, and I like the Norco better. I clean them with my air compressor at 200 psi. I don't think your air compressor is the culprit. May be someone else hit it.
