That should do it.

Parity finished no errors. Other than some settings having to be reconfigured all seems good. Back up and running normally but I'll watch close for a while. Hopefully I get another 10+ yrs out of this drive 🤞

well i was able to pick up a Lexar 8GB drive on way home from work. Set it up using creator tool and copied over my backup. Booted up server and changed key to new USB. Parity check currently running. A couple settings were reset to defaults but otherwise all seems back up and normal. Now just wait for parity check to finish and hope its solved. By the way @VelcroBP, when i put old flash into WIN PC, windows don't even recognize the drive. Its toast. Just hope it was age and not some other issue....

Got a banner message that flash was corrupt and offline. Was able to shut down ok. removed flash and plugged into WIN PC. Scan of drive and fixed errors. Retry in server and boots just fine. 6 hours later same message and now GUI is frozen. So I am assuming at this point my original 12yr old UNRAID flash drive has finally failed and ill need a new flash drive to transfer my key to. So my questions: Does UNRAID support USB 3 nowadays with ver. 7 or is 2.0 still the recommended way to go? I have a couple new 3.0 sticks already, but no 2.0 ones. Amazon can have this to me overnight: https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-Metal-Executive-Flash-Drive/dp/B017JIHJIG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2H3Q4ON5VFAS4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OpXZJ4WtYoVYL5b43KrXB6gzbW30_muB9FdgEv5pRt3_6FDj4dtANsh_FqrzILDXa_0QZIHGJQUI-xbJR7v0H2bUpgCtBgRS7A5_ZwTfal5_ZLdviTSQwhyZTkmMOOQDKq0B6MmSoDsESlRYA0xaR4TxAhRIoyHQj43hOJ9ZnKlePPSjplguE9iyHdGGYspCVq3ovtpCe1RPmloC8iB5Jwh6c5bWm8DU14jGqg5xQrpSlkopsCk5X4Wn4aBPR_85.xlX1ndd-3gduHsVGzxnSwgQlmDn4Sv0kPfjFnW-d1gw&dib_tag=se&keywords=usb%2B2.0%2Bflash%2Bdrive&qid=1746128352&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A1259715011%2Cp_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A58126213011%2Cp_123%3A225913&rnid=85457740011&s=electronics&sprefix=usb%2B2.0%2Caps%2C366&sr=1-1&th=1 acceptable for use if 2.0 is still recommended

i will check as some new ones come in to be sure its working going forward I didn't either (obviously) and hadn't had this problem while shares were set to public and/or public (hidden) and guest access from windows wasn't an issue. No more guest access allowed from windows without credentials, that's when this became an issue for me . I guess that unrestricted guest access just didn't care? Coincidence or not, I dont know, but hopefully this is the final answer and its fixed. Thanks again @Frank1940 and @trurl for all the help!

OK! Docker run now says: -e HOST_HOSTNAME="Tower" -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="Sonarr" -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -e 'UMASK'='000' Thinking now this is the permanent fix and will prevent issue going forward? Or is there more to do? (other than updating my other 'arrs' container)

docker run -d --name='Sonarr' --net='bridge' --pids-limit 2048 -e TZ="America/Chicago" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e HOST_HOSTNAME="Tower" -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="Sonarr" -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:8989]/' -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-templates/master/linuxserver.io/img/sonarr-icon.png' -p '8989:8989/tcp' -v '/mnt/cache/appdata/sonarr/':'/config':'rw' -v '/dev/rtc':'/dev/rtc':'ro' -v '/mnt/user/MEDIA/TV shows/':'/tv':'rw' -v '/mnt/cache/downloads/':'/downloads':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/MEDIA/Monkey Butt Channel/':'/john':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/MEDIA/TV Documentaries/':'/tv documentary':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/MEDIA/TV Shows Animated/':'/tv show animated':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/MEDIA/TV Shows Comedy/':'/tv show comedy':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/MEDIA/TV Shows Classic/':'/tv shows classic':'rw' 'linuxserver/sonarr' 8745827540c1b16552ed475220428d0e9df3df84e0bd59ae2ac27213d0705c75

The one that started me looking into this issue was recently created by sonarr. Then I chose a couple at random that were also created by sonarr at one time or another as well as manually by me from a Windows client.

OK! That seems to have done the trick! No idea why or how this happened, but every directory i tried copying to yesterday that failed now works. @Frank1940 @trurl THANK YOU!

Yes, have user credentials set up in windows.tower-diagnostics-20250310-0047.zip Yes, I changed the public'hidden to private as you suggested. Yes, forgot to add permission for SMB user on new TEST share, now works ok. If i try to copy a file to root of M--------a share it copies fine. If i try to copy one or two directories in, it fails. But strangely this is not consistent with all sub folders...?

@Frank1940 thanks for the support. So think i did what you recommended what you stated about the hidden shares. then tested this: QUOTE - If you are still having problems, please provide the first and last letter of the share name for the share(s) you are having problems with. copy to Ml -- ok copy to Ml - sub folder - no go tried with others and same problem set up test share "test" and try, asks for password as expected, enter and no go. same error, not accessible what can i do next? new diags attached.tower-diagnostics-20250309-1820.zip

So a couple weeks ago I had the 24H2 update install on my home PC. Lost access to shares. Google and this forum help me figure out I had to set up a user on unraid. I did this, added credential to win11 pc and all was well until this morning when i tried to copy some files from my PC to unraid shares. Getting access denied errors with using explorer copy & paste and using TeraCopy 3.17. Reading files and playing media woks as expected. Can also copy from array to desktop without issue. Tried deleting user from unraid and clearing credentials in windows. rebooted both windows client and unraid. Added user again and set up credential in windows. rebooted both again, no change. I hope the experts here can help me learn what the heck is gong on!tower-diagnostics-20250309-1531.zip

any help getting resolved? I have manually removed large log file file, and set to 2MB in settings and will wait to see what happens.

right, its logging fine, just not rotating. Any ideas to help trouble shoot?

@trurl here and thanks. What am I doing incorrectly?

I am using syslog server and have enabled log rotation with the following settings: I have discovered the log file is not rotating every 2MB and is currently 98MB. Am i misunderstanding how the above settings work? I would think that every time the file size hits the 2MB threshold size, it would stop and create a new one, and on and on and on. Is this not correct? tower-diagnostics-20250213-0840.zip

Kudos! @SpaceInvaderOne well deserved!!

Thanks. Looking forward to the fix

I've upgraded to official Unraid 7, learned i had the old version of the plugin, upgraded to this new version. mover moves file from cache to array just fine but leaves the empty folders on the cache drive. I see the setting to 'clean empty folders' and have tried it set to yes and no with same result. Am i missing a setting somewhere or it this a known issue?

Towers and drive cages just not to be reasonably found anymore. Time to start looking at a rack solution I guess. Found this on Newegg: $499.99 KCMconmey 4U 25.6 24 Bay 2.5 / 3.5 SATA / SAS Hot Swap Server Rackmount Chassis. SFF-8643 Backplane. MB EEB / CEB / EATX / ATX / MATX / ITX. PSU ATX / 2U Redundant / 2U Single. Full Height PCIe Case. Anyone have any knowledge or reliability experience with brand?

👍

Attached is the extended smart test report. I can see where it logged the initial errors, but if i read it correctly it passed the extended test?? @JorgeB can you take a look and give advise? Appreciate the help.ST4000VN000-1H4168_Z.txt

Thanks for the response JorgeB. Looking ahead, say parity check completes OK, Extended SMART test completes OK, and error count does not increase, would you consider the disk safe to continue using or should I consider replacing it anyway?

Monthly parity check kicked off this morning. About 2 hours in i get a warning email about disk errors. Main tab shows disk 10 with 19 errors. Parity check still running and shows sync errors detected as zero. What is suggested course of action at this point? tower-diagnostics-20241106-0902.zip
