Thank you for your help. After uninstalling dislocation and uninstalling the disk, it still didn't work. We'll just chalk it up as unfixable. I might try plugging it into my sata to USB adapter and see if that works. Thanks for all the help.

I have had UD installed for quite some time but just never got around to using it, so these drives have just been sitting there in the plugin but have never used it. So not sure if its been a problem or not because I just now was looking to use it. I wonder if I can shutdown, unplug the drive and restart the tower. Then replug the drive back in or would that not do anything?

Yeah, I have tried rebooting multiple times with no luck (also after I uninstalled the plugin which we know didn't do anything).

One is a USB drive and one is a Sata. The Sata (hitachi) is the one not working. Also, the check mark is not blue for the Hitachi drive either to run file system check. But I'm assuming that is because it has trouble finding it.

Again, thank you for helping me so quickly. I have attached the diagnostics for you and here is the results of the 'mount' command. tower-diagnostics-20220122-1314.zip

Thank you for the quick reply. I saw that on another thread and tried that. This is all I get when doing that. I'm assuming because I don't have any disks mounted in UD.

I am trying to mount a few drives to and everytime I try to mount the drives I get the following error in device log: Jan 22 11:46:06 Tower unassigned.devices: Mount of 'sdk1' failed: 'mount: /mnt/disks/MN1240FA14K9LD: /dev/sdk1 already mounted or mount point busy. ' I have tried uninstalling Unassigned Drives and reinstalling but still receive the same error. Seems like the mount is stuck somewhere and I cannot remove. Any help would be appreciated. I see the +sdk1 file in /dev folder. Should I delete that or need to go another route? I am just trying to use Midnight Commander to copy files from the drive to my array. Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I saw that step, but I did not have passwd or smbpasswd in my config folder (I pulled the USB drive out and upgraded on another computer). And it was the "New Permissions" function that would hang up on the first drive.

I would like to know this also. I have 2,000,000+ files on this unRAID server (company offsite backup). I tried upgrading to 5.0 from 4.7 and could not access any of my data folders. Some were saying I needed Login/Password (my shared folders) and some were saying they did not exist (my Disk1, Disk2, Disk3....ect). I tried running the permissions 3 times and it looks like it hangs up on my first drive and then stops. There is activity on my first drive, so I just leave it......and then a few hours later there is no activity and I can still not access the files. So I downgraded back to 4.7 again and back up and running, because I would like the >2TB support. What do you guys think is the problem? Or like ftp222 said, is there a way to "Pre-Permission" these or some other way about this?

Sounds good! Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Ok, well good news (I think). I stopped the memtest and took the USB Disk out and ran Disk Check on it two and both times it did not find any errors. So I put the USB in a different port and it booted to unRAID, so then I shut it down and tried it again and it booted into unRAID again. So I did this about 5 times to make sure and every time it booted into unRAID. And also, my "flash" share is working again. So I am guess it is a bad USB port, what do you think?

Didn't see anything. Just shots in the dark. While memtest is running, it is safe to unplug the flash disk from the server, and let memtest continue running overnight. In the mean time, plug in the flash disk in a windows computer and run scandisk on it, see if it will find any errors. Remember to "safely eject" the flash disk from the windows computer when done. Also, does your server have other USB ports? If so, try using a different one next time. Will do. Yes, my motherboard has another USB port. I will run Disk Check and use another USB port when I plug it back in.

Didn't see anything.

Sorry it took so long, but had to keep rebooting to get back to unRAID to start the memTest again. But I changed a setting in the BIOS that wasn't default and left it unplugged for about 10 min and started it back up and the setting was still there. So I take it that it isn't the battery.

May not be needed. Check it first: Go to BIOS, change some setting, save, powerdown. Fully unplug the power cord from the wall. Wait 5 minutes. Then power back up to BIOS, and see if it remembers the new setting. If it does, the battery is probably still good. Ok, will do that right now and get back with you.
