That's what I'm finding strange, because everything else seems to be looking fine on the outside. I have lights active on both the NIC and the switch, and even trying another cable didn't seem to fix the issue. UnRaid sees the NIC as well. Either way, I found that trashing the network config file and changing things from scratch seemed to do it. Issue resolved.

Hey all, I basically woke up this morning, started up my UnRaid server, and it wasn't connecting to the internet. I go into GUI mode and it seems like the internet connectivity wasn't working. I tried switching from a static IP address to an automatic one, and still no connection. I also checked my router and everything else, and it seems like everything else in the chain is working. I didn't do any updates to UnRaid in the last day, it just decided to not connect. The lights are also showing up on the network card and the switch I'm using. So I'm not sure what changed. I'm only able to enter UnRaid when plugged in directly and using GUI mode, I can't use it from any other device. Diagnostics attached. alexnas-diagnostics-20260114-1304.zip

Yup, that's what did it. Thanks!

Hi all, I noticed this happened when I first updated to the RC2 release of Unraid 7, but it seems like mover isn't working. Looking at the mover log, I get the message that it stopped immediately, and gave the message "<disk_name> must match pattern 'disk[0-9]*'". I'm not sure what's going on here, and I've never had such an issue before. Syslog attached. alexnas-diagnostics-20250111-1207.zip

Issue turned out to be that I plugged in the Parity drive into a SATA to PCIE card, which is what was slowing it down. I got someone on the other end to move that cable to plug in directly to the motherboard, and that solved the issue. Interestingly, no issues by the looks of it with the data drive on that PCIE card, but yeah. At least it seemed to be solved.

Sounds good, will do.

That's what I thought could be the case. Unfortunately this is the offsite backup, so I won't be there for a hot minute. Will keep in mind. Stupid question, but it would just be the SATA cable that needs to be checked/replaced?

Hi all, Had to replace a parity drive in an Unraid server I made from an old computer, and it's going REALLY slow. Like estimating 70 days for four data drives 5TB and under slow. And it seems like it's only writing a little at a time, with reads/writes for the drives at 0.0 B/s, then jumping up, and then stopping. Any insight? I've attached the diagnostics. alexbackup-diagnostics-20240805-2101.zip

That did it. Ethernet thought it was a public network and not a private one. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with remote SMB shares. After having to move and getting new IP addresses for my server and my Windows PC, I can't seem to connect the SMB remote shares I had set up. I mounted them originally using the PC name, and that hasn't changed, but they won't mount. Trying to make new SMB shares doesn't seem to work either, as searching for servers only shows the Unraid server (itself). Not sure what's going on here. It's worth mentioning I can access my Unraid shares from my PC, but I can't seem to do the other way around. Anyone have any insight? I've attached the diagnostics. Just to add, the drives in my Windows PC are set to sharing, and I had no problems with it before. alexnas-diagnostics-20230919-0958.zip

That did it. Thanks!

Hey all, I'm in a weird situation with rsync where I can't seem to be able to have it copy over the most recent version and replace deprecated versions of a file. I use an audio program called Pro Tools, and changes are done in the .ptx file itself, with incremental changes saved to the file itself. The issue is that rsync just sees test.ptx is both in the synced folder and the original, ignoring the fact that the synced file is an old version, the one that was copied over the first time. So the question is if it's possible to have rsync copy over the most recent versions of files, removing the old versions and replacing them with the new version of the file with the same name. As an example, here's a script that transfers from a local backup I have of my server to an offsite server (cause I haven't figured out how to get the two computers to communicate, hence I've had to shlep a hard drive over every time I visit to sync the two). rsync -ah "/mnt/disks/WD_easystore_264D/AlexNAS_Backup/test/" "/mnt/user/test"

Pretty much. That's what solved it for me. And then I manually redid my network settings in the GUI.

Looks like it was the Nerdpack. For anyone else who might stumble onto this, I also had to reset the networking settings.

It boots in safe mode, so my guess is it's a plugin or something. Did anything in the diagnostic say which one? Edit: I'm also seeing two errors after starting Samba: "failed to connect to the hypervisor" and "Operation not supported: Cannot use direct socket mode if no URI is set. Are either of those two relevant?

Turns out it was already disabled in ident.cfg, USE_SSL="no". So that didn't work.

Ran into an issue. Suddenly I was unable to access the GUI for Unraid. I attempted to use GUI mode, but it told me it was unable to connect. Not sure what's going on. Luckily the Terminal was working, so I got diagnostics. alexnas-diagnostics-20221202-1233.zip

What particular settings should I adjust? I tried looking for it but there's 52 pages of stuff I've had to sift through, including the search function. Here are my settings under Settings\Docker.

So the thing is I have the docker container img pointing to a docker dataset, but it makes its own datasets that look like this. I'm trying to get rid of them.

I redid everything, and hit write on this. Does hitting quit delete the write? It doesn't seem like it. Does this look right?

Hey all, I tried @gyto6's scripts for mounting the docker containers into a zvol, this one. The problem I ran into was after creating the partition, I got this issue with the next line of the script: mkfs.btrfs -q /dev/tank/docker-part1 probe of /dev/tank/docker-part1 failed, cannot detect existing filesystem. WARNING: cannot read superblock on /dev/tank/docker-part1, please check manually ERROR: use the -f option to force overwrite of /dev/tank/docker-part1 I'm not sure what to do at this point. Anybody able to help?

I think Level1Techs did a similar thing with Shadowcopy on Windows.

That did it exactly, thanks! Looks like the last thing I need to do is to set up rclone to my google drive (while I can still take advantage of unlimited storage). Anybody know where's the best place to mount the remote shares so that dockers have access to them, and it syncs the contents of the entire pool? I didn't see anything along those lines in the thread, and running SpaceInvaderOne's tutorial, I'm not sure where to set the mount point for the remote shares to be mounted and unmounted on startup and shutdown. Can't use /mnt/disks/subdirectory when I'm not using the array for anything (currently just a dummy drive).

I seem to be having an issue where I click the docker I wish to view and it seems to try to connect me to a different tower that I've never seen before called saminthedark (apologies to anyone who has that). Not sure what to do. Doesn't connect to any of my docker containers either. Worked before, but seems to have recently come up.

Is there a guide on how to do that? I'm not sure where to start.
