  1. Hmm i transfered the content to another disk. Went into new config and selected preserve current assignment for everything except data. When i select discs i can select no drive on everything except disk8 which is either unassigned or the broken one. I have to admit i have no clue what im doing EDIT i forgot to check the box
  2. Started the transfer to another disk with unbalanced plugin. Gonna do a new config and resin but scary stuff since I have never done all this stuff Thanks for the tips guys
  3. Hmm i'll try to swap out the powercable but its a linked chain that supplies a bunch of disks and thats the only disk that has failed. Its a Seagate Archive disk so i might remove it anyways. But is there an easy way to "empty" the content on the emulated version over the rest of the discs and then remove it from the array?
  4. Soo when i checked my Unraid i got a red warning saying disk8 had failed with SMART reading. After restarting unraid it is shown as Not installed and the drive is emulated (the disc is now under unassigned devices. After some googling it seems that the concesus is that its not a bad drive but a bad connection. I have swapped out the S-ATA cable and used another s-ata port on mobo known to work earlier. Restarted unraid again but it still says disk not installed etc... Do i need to do something special for this to work? I have a lot of free space so if the disk is broken, can i move the emulated content over to the other disc and just remove that one and rebuild parity? Kinda lost at best approach etc xD fuzzyserver-diagnostics-20200313-1305.zip
  5. Funny... while rebuilding the hdd another hdd crapped out. Should have done proper preclears prior.... This time it was an WD30EFRX (WD Red 3TB) with 4 years and 11 months on it. Wonder how this will go. Damnit
  6. This seems to have done the trick, we'll know when the rebuild is complete Thanks.
  7. I just bough an 8TB drive yesterday, ive added it to the array, meaning its currently going through clearing. While it was doing this i started transfering some more files to my array and one of my old 3TB hdds (WD30EURS) shat itself it seems, probably just a matter of time since it has power on hour count of 5years and 6months. And the last two years it has been a plex stream disk for my friends. all while being a consumer grade disk I got 486 errors and something about reallocated sector count. Soo im betting its better to just trash it. Soo my question is: I really dont want to go out and spend another x amount of $ on another disk when i have a empty one just added to array. What is the best approach to swap those two disks? As far as i have understood you basiclly in normal condition, you stop the array, remove the faulty disk, put in a new and then point the disk location to that new disk and it will rebuild using the parity. But what when you want to replace it with a disk allready added to the array (empty)?
  8. Yeah i have preclear and unassigned devices plugin installed (been notoriously watching spaceinvader one's youtube videos to prepare myself). Probably gonna do 1 or 2 drives at the time with the preclear. But given that it writes zeros anyways im contemplating about dropping it. I have two drives that are new (8TB each) from WD My Book (shucked to get white RED drives) which might be worthwhile to do a proper preclear stress test, the rest has been working fine for years.
  9. Thanks. I will go over my cable and such after its done with the array building (learned my lesson xD) Hoping the IBM/LSI cards turn up soon soo i can break ways with using the mobo connectors.
  10. Yeah i got the "pre" part, which was why i found it odd i had to start up the array before being allowed to run the preclear on the unassigned discs. meaning the first i set up in the array would not go through the stress test. At 94% now on parity sync/data rebuild from starting a new array. Disk 1 and two only have reads though and the parity has the same amount of writes. So im guessing it doesnt do the part with writing everything zero in the clear prosess. I got a CRC error count = 1 on my brand spanking new 1TB Samsung Evo 860 drive though that is in cache. Wondering if i should be worried. Its currently connected directly on S-ata 0 port on mobo which is i think is intel controller (port 0-1 is intel, rest is ASMedia ASM1061 i think) its an Asrock Extreme 4 Z77.
  11. Soo i've just started up with unraid Off to a rocky start. My plan was to run pre clear disk on all my hdds, old and new. But when i started i was not allowed to do a pre clear without starting the array. So i set my 1TB SSD to cached HDD, a 10TB Ironwolf to parity and 10+8TB Ironwolf as disk 1 and 2. Then i pressed start array, and ticked the format box. I left for about two hours only to meet a bunch of error messages stating overheating. None of my disk fans were on and the disks were roughly 65 degrees. So in a small panic i opened the case and fiddled with the wiring so i got them back on, BUT while doing this i accidentally pulled the power. Meaning that during initialisation of my setup (it was 3-4% or something i think). I got a hard shutdown. When i turned the computer back on and went into the web interface everything looks ok, its green. It shows disk 1 and 2 as empty and running green with 18tb total. Have a warning on parity as disabled and the only option i had was to do a read check. What do i do now? I honestly really want to start over but i cant find anywhere to actualle "delete" the created array. I have 8 more disk full with content that is supposed to be emptied one bye one over to the two first disks before going trough a pre clear x amount of times. Some of the disks are old and i want to make sure i can trust em. If i now start to move the data over to this new array and the array goes belly up...
  12. Sweet Got 8 on mobo and 2 on a simple two port s-ata controller card
  13. Soo im itching in my fingers to get started with unraid. the problem is that i havent gotten my controller cards yet. I've cleared three out of the 10 hdds i have so far but i cant do any more as i need to empty the other ones to my unraid system first. How much of a mess is it to use the onboard s-ata controller to connect all my 10 hdds, then when i get the IBM 1015 with IT-mode i just replugg all the disc over to that controller. Would i get a mess since several disc will be unallocated at the same time or is it easy to just "reselect" position for them in setup?
  14. Thats awesome! Im liking unraid more and more for each day im looking into it, and i havent even tried it yet. Looking into cache pool as we speak
