The results of the first pass of memtest after about 6 hours, I’m gonna let it run about 24 hours total.

Honestly, I can't say for certain so I apologize. I remember resetting the config in the past and never lost data. I think it just resets what drives unraid has in its memory. But if you're worried about it losing data, wait for someone who's more certain to chime in.

Are you able to go to tools>new config and check the tick box and click apply?

This all started back at the end of November, so about a month ago when I went from crucial SSD's for my cache drives (kept getting 197 errors on them) to Samsung 980 nvme drives. I installed 2 pci adapters to then install the 2, 2TB nvme's. I've been dealing with the server crashing anywhere from 2-4 days apart, consistently, and I can't find anything in the logs referencing what the issue is at the time it occurred. This morning 12/31/23 it crashed at roughly 10:11 am and the only thing I saw in the syslog was well before that at 9:02 am. I'm sure with everything that I've messed with over the past month, that there's things misconfigured as I've got more than one thing wrong with the server/disks at the moment. When it crashed at 10:11 am this morning, upon rebooting it, the docker containers are ALL gone, but the appdata and folders remain on the cache, and I do have them backed up, but it wouldn't let me restore. Something seems like it's corrupted now with the docker image but it won't let me access or delete it, on the server itself in the docker settings, or in the directory itself. I can navigate to /mnt/usr/system/docker/ but then it won't let me access the folder with the docker image in it because of file permissions it says. Also, one of my 12TB parity drives started giving me errors about a week ago so I replaced and upgraded those to 14TB drives. I still have the 2 crucial drives in the system, but they aren't mounted. Oh, also, I changed the cache file system to zfs from btrfs when I upgraded to the nvme's. Would someone mind poking around my diagnostics and see if you guys can point me in the right direction here? I'd surely appreciate it! Oh, I also am currently running memtest but it's 256GB so those results might be tomorrow before I see them. trailheadmedia-diagnostics-20231231-1212.zip

Unraid 6.12.6 So I have something I think I screwed up. I swapped cache drives and used the mover to move everything from the cache drives to the array, everything went very well. The folders moved were the appdata, domains, system, and a folder I call mymedia. The last one is a folder in which all of my mappings to certain folders within "mymedia" exist for things like Emby, DVR recordings, and other docker mounted targets. The problem began when I moved everything back from the array to the cache, it moved EVERY folder on the "mymedia" share so now it lists everything on the array in that folder, not just the ones that I had previously mapped for its exact purpose. Now everything in that mymedia folder is showing under that share in Unraid. Not ideal. Is there any common sense way to fix this besides deleting the whole share and remapping everything?

Will do, thanks!

Did this ever get solved? Dealing with the same issue and am running into nothing but dead ends. I have the same crashing issue and timeouts…I also have 10Gbe nics in my server too…

So I’ve got this all up and running and have purchased my pro license. Very happy so far. I’ve recently started messing with a couple VM’s and instantly realized 3 problems I need help solving. I’ve been reading for 3 evenings straight on GPU install in this server and I’m more confused now than ever. The 3 problems are my graphics look like garbage, not full screen even when remote accessed with proper software...mouse has tracers, icons look grainy. Problem 2, I have zero sound. 3rd, and possibly the most annoying, my mouse scroller doesn’t work in my VM’s. I don’t do any gaming or need any extreme performance, I just want my VM’s resolutions to look proper on a 27” monitor, nice and crispy and my sound and mouse roller to work. Can someone please help me cut through the trauma and point me towards a solution for these 3 problems? Please 😂 TIA

Man, this restored write speeds to 130 MB/s consistently, thank you SO much! Saved my Unraid install...I was about to abort! Thanks @Vexorg

Well the drive write cache is disabled by default. Found this thread thanks @Vexorg and it worked perfectly...back to 111 MB/s transfer speeds writing to Unraid. You my friend, saved my Unraid install...As for the severe delay on stopping the array, it seemed to resolve itself with a fresh install on another USB drive. Hope this helps someone else...

Alright, here you go. Priority is obviously what's wrong with it taking so long to shutdown and stop the array, but figuring out why it goes from 111 MB/s down to 11 MB/s on the transfer sure would be a sweet bonus. Anything else would be much appreciated, seriously.

Anything in particular from the diagnostics files I should upload or just the whole zip?

Thanks @jpowell8672 I’m just wondering if it’s because this is my first time, or it’s a brand new setup, or what...but I can’t imagine this is normal behavior. Opened files plugin shows 1873 PID running with 4 files open but if I kill it, I have to do so in the terminal, the plugin button opens a blank window and does nothing...the terminal kills it, but it doesn’t seem to change anything. Still 45 minutes to stop the array and reboot. I’ve since rebooted and disabled parity so I can get the media transferred and then I’ll re-enable it. I would LOVE to get to the bottom of this and not give up ha!

What type of information would you guys need from me to help me figure out why it takes 45 minutes to stop my array? I'm trying to transfer data and it works for 15-20 minutes at 1 Gbps then it drops abysmally slow down to 11 MB/s. I noticed it was when the fix common problems message pops up is when the speeds drag, so that's prompted me to do a couple stoppages of the array today and it literally takes 45 minutes to stop it and actually execute the powerdown -r command. I don't wanna give up on this, but something tells me you guys don't wait 45 minutes for your array to stop...TIA

Now the web UI isn't accessible by firefox, but I can get it in chrome...lol, never ends
