I was going to post a question about missing episodes and where that option is now located with 4.8.1.0 but then I saw the tumbleweeds blowing by... Not sure if this place is still alive..??? If there is a dev reading, can we get the option to get missing episodes back into the list so we KNOW we are missing something? If this is no longer the place to ask these questions please point us to the correct location or do I have to learn how to make requests on github? Thanks!!

That is interesting. I removed Diskspeed as a test and when I went to CA Previous Apps it was listed (the only one there at all). So I tested with MakeMKV by removing the container and deleted it from config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user, now CA Previous still only shows shows Diskspeed and not MakeMKV. I ran AB restore for MKV and it now shows in CA!! Awesome! Not sure why Emby isn't... Thanks Kilrah, I will do a complete reinstall of Emby and test it out again. Update: damned if I know why but I reinstalled Emby and setup everything, then performed a manual AB, removed Emby docker, then deleted the xml of boot device. Ran AB restore and there Emby was in the CA Previous folder, reinstalled from there and everything works perfect!! Again, thanks for the assist!

Hi! Thanks for the reply. That sounds great except Previous Apps in CA is empty. Where does CA pull the list for Previous Apps?

I am wondering what the process is for restoring, say Emby Server? If I lose the appdata folder on my cache drives and the USB boot drive but I have my successful backups, after I create a replacement USB and install new cache drives and the appdata backup app. Do I go to CA and install the Emby Server container then stop it, run AB restore? I have tried several different ways and I always have to start all over with Emby Server configuration (users/library/etc). Help appreciated

32GB DDR4 ECC. Rarely do I go above 70% usage but I don't run as many VM's as I use too. If I ever start up again, it will be back to 64GB. Too quote CanOn, "Lots of RAM is never a problem" for me either!

Hey folks, Just had my first "error" and am thinking that I have not set something up correctly. Where do I go to find the file that has this error? I look in the logs folder but is empty. I changed logs to show syslog as well as output file but I still don't see any logs. Thanks

Trurl Thanks for all your help and the link. I feel more confident now about undoing all those cables to install my new fans. An update, the drive is healthy like I said, I didn't format it but I did wipe it using DBAN single pass (deleted all formatting and partitions) I installed it back into the array just a bit ago, not expecting anything since I don't see emulation but ... data is now appearing on the drive! So I am going to let it run again for about 16 hours and hope for the best. I can wait one more day to put in these quiet fans. So thanks again, I will post a final update if the drive is fully reconstructed. UPDATE: Unfortunately the rebuild just created 12 empty folders but I gained some experience and some knowledge so I guess not a total waste. My new Noctua fans arrived and what a difference! I can actually keep the server in the same room. Thanks again trurl!

Okay, if I had pulled the corrupted drive out (yes, I knew it was file corruption. After I pulled it I tested with WD tools and Spinrite, no physical problems detected. I think the bad power cable caused the corruption) and replaced it with a new drive would the array rebuilt the data to the new drive? If so then why wouldn't it do it with the same drive that had no partition? Understand that, this is why I made the mistake of pulling it out and formatting it and then putting it back into the array as if it were a "new" drive. This is after I let the system rebuild it for 16 hours.... but you might be correct about dirty shutdown, as I was not able to shutdown from the gui after that... I can't remember at this moment if it was emulating that drive or now, I do remember that it was disabled but not sure if that was before or after I had to do the hard shutdown. I did end up wiping the partition, the 8TB went from almost full to less than 18MB after the hard shutdown. So there won't be any way to recover it, it hurts but I am more interested in how to avoid this when it happens again, or something like it. As you know, drives will fail.. not if but when. This all started after we moved houses, my temps were getting up there so I took off the top, saw that one fan was dead and another was moving too slowly. I powered down correctly and replaced those fans (with temps as I have ordered Noctua fan replacements for all fans but don't get them till Thursday), but to do that I had to unplug a lot of sata cables and a few power cables. That was when everything started going downhill. Yes I have cloud backups of the important, can't replace stuff, home movies, pics, financial records but what I lost is a lot of DVD and bluray ripping!! LOL I am very well versed in "If you don't have backups then you don't have backups, period!" A hard earned lesson many decades ago. What I really need to know is; does putting sata cables from HBA and/or motherboard back in different locations on a backplane cause problems? What are the correct steps (other than posting in these great forums for help) if you do get file corruption? I have attached my diagnostics but I am pretty sure it won't show my mistakes from yesterday but I appreciate you taking the time. tower-diagnostics-20200316-1825.zip

Hi, I was looking for some answers myself and came across this. 1st Question: wouldn't formatting the "bad" drive outside of Unraid and then putting it back into the array be the same as putting in a brand new drive? 2nd question: where does it say emulating, next to the disk # that is missing? 3rd question: I recently had an 8TB drive come up as no file system found ( I think it was caused by a faulty molex connector plugged into the backplane) I restarted the system and parity-sync/data-rebuild started. After 16 hours it finished, I restarted and nothing.... 17.3 MB were used. So I then decided to physically pull the hard drive, intending to do a format (like Scales did) but when I restarted the array without the 8TB drive I didn't see anything saying it was emulating. 4th Question: can you see data on a drive being re-built while it is being rebuilt? 5th question: With as little information as I can provide now, what does everyone think I did wrong to lose the emulated data? I have 1 parity drive at 10TB and parity was done at the beginning of the month with no errors (until the drive showed no file system). 6th question: I have ordered some new Noctua fans to quiet down my Norco 20 bay case but to install them I am going to have to unplug all those SAS to Sata cables from my LSI HBA's and unplug all those power cables and also 10 sata cables from my motherboard. What steps should I do to not lose any data or drives? Is it important to plug the same cables back into the same spots on the backplane? Please help me Obi-Wan!! Thanks!
