I could have sworn i was getting faster writes before. Even if it goes down into the 40's, it's still ok? I'm using WD white label drives in my server. Thought that those could write close to 200 MB/s

Hi Guys- Having some slow transfer speeds on my unraid server and was hoping you guys can lend some insight. Before i would transfer files locally and would be in the 110-120 MB/s range. Lately it's been in the 60 MB/s range. I first thought it might be the disk i'm writing to (disk 10) because that's when i noticed the slow speeds. When adding it, i had to shrink my array and remove some smaller drives to make room for it. My first step was checking to see if it was a disk or cable issue. I moved data using unbalanced (diag file taken during a transfer) between disks. I moved data from disk 6 to disk 10 (the disk i suspected) and was at 62 MB/s, i then moved data from disk 10 to disk 6 and had the same speed. I took disk 10 out of the equation and moved the same file from disk 6 to disk 5 and the speed was slower at 45 MB/s. Next, I power cycled my wifi router, gigabit switches and swapped out the ethernet cables from my Verizon fios box all the way to my pc and my unraid server. Did not make a difference. I'm debating on swapping sata cables in my unraid box but if it was a faulty sas-sata cable, wouldn't some of the moves in my first step not be affected? i wanted to reach out here and see if there is something i'm missing. Any and all help is much appreciated. Thank you. nasgard-diagnostics-20240214-1636.zip

This worked for me as well.

This looks like it worked. Thank you. Anybody else seeing this i used these command lines in terminal where DiskX = disk that is caught in unmounting loop under the log (in my case disk2) dd if=/dev/zero of=diskX bs=1M count=310 mkfs -t xfs diskX mount diskX /mnt/diskX Like magic, the array stopped and i was able to continue on w/the steps in the video.

Hi guys- Trying to shrink my array using spaceinvaderone's option 2 seen here: I was able to succesfully run the clear disk user script but when i try to stop the array, i get the "array stopping - retry unmounting disk share(s)..." error in the bottom left corner. I have stopped VM's and docker. I don't have any terminal windows open. When i check the log, I see this on a loop (disk 2 is the one i performed the clear disk script on): Dec 22 04:17:03 Nasgard emhttpd: Unmounting disks... Dec 22 04:17:03 Nasgard emhttpd: shcmd (1139124): umount /mnt/disk2 Dec 22 04:17:03 Nasgard root: umount: /mnt/disk2: not mounted. Dec 22 04:17:03 Nasgard emhttpd: shcmd (1139124): exit status: 32 Dec 22 04:17:03 Nasgard emhttpd: Retry unmounting disk share(s)... in terminal ive tried this and this is what i see: root@Nasgard:~# losetup NAME SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE DIO LOG-SEC /dev/loop1 0 0 1 1 /boot/bzfirmware 0 512 /dev/loop0 0 0 1 1 /boot/bzmodules 0 512 root@Nasgard:~# umount /var/lib/docker umount: /var/lib/docker: not mounted. root@Nasgard:~# umount /dev/loop2 umount: /dev/loop2: not mounted. I've attached my diagnostics. Any way to unmount my disks so i can remove disk 2? I don't want to risk rebooting the array because it looks like it'll lead to an unclean shutdown and prompt a parity check which is what i was trying to avoid. nasgard-diagnostics-20231222-0414.zip

Did you ever figure out how to unmount reliably? i was able to run the script, but when i tried to stop the array, it hung up on unmounting. Ended up having to do a non-clean shutdown and had to run a 38-hr parity check. I need to remove 2 more drives from my array and want it to be smoother next time Edit: this terminal command at the end of this post allowed me to unmount my disk. Hope it helps someone

So had a very similar thing happen. Script ran w/o issue, but when going to unmount my disk, i received the unmount error. I tried the unmount script, but no luck, iwas able to shutdown my system, but when it came back up, it started a parity check. Should i let the parity check w/the now zeroed drive? If i receive some sync parity errors, should i write to parity? I'm reluctant to perform the new config step without running the parity sync. Let me know how to proceed. nasgard-diagnostics-20231217-0639 (1).zip

Thanks for the reassurance

So, i'm running the script on my machine and it's clearing the drive i'm trying to remove, I'm getting writes to parity and the drive being cleared, but I'm getting reads on all my other drives. Is that supposed to happen w/this script?

Great! Will do. Thanks for looking at it.

Hi guys- I'm getting this error on my flash boot drive. it's a usb 2.0 drive that's been doing great for the last 2 years. attached is a diagnostic. I have a flash backup from one month ago. Was able to reboot and the error is gone. Is my drive dying? Should i just create a backup from last month's files or will that transfer over the issue which has been going on with this drive? nasgard-diagnostics-20230708-0903.zip

I restarted the server after the issue. Should have save a diagnostic right then and there. if it happens again, i'll do that. Thanks for looking over it.

Hi Guys- Having an issue with my server that's been rock solid for the last year. I was trying to access some local files on my nas as i've done many times before. After about 10 secs, txf goes from 120 Mb/s down to 0. I restarted the array and saw that under the boot disk on the home page, i had an error that said "error code ENOFlash3". After turning off my system, i put the boot drive into another PC and scanned it for errors. When none popped up, I put the flash drive back on my unraid machine and it fired out w/o issue, this time w/o a boot drive error code. However, still getting the same issue with transfers. I've attached my diagnostics. After rebooting it, i created a zip backup of my OS drive. I was under the impression that you can only swap your boot drive 1x/year so before i did that, wanted to get your input re: the diagnostics. Also, didn't know if there was a corrupted item on the boot drive, would this backup i just made also be corrupted. My next most recent backup of the boot drive is 12/2020. Thoughts? nasgard-diagnostics-20230314-1701.zip

Hi. Sorry to dig up an old thread. Do you have nginx running as a docker in unRAID for your HA VM? I have HA as a vm and having a tough time setting up a reverse proxy w nginx. Was trying to use the guide https://www.juanmtech.com/getting-started-with-home-assistant-2021/ He uses mariadb and nginx add-ons w/in ha. I was never able to open ports 443 and 80 w/my HA IP, but just realized that ha is configured for 8123. Can you point me in the right direction to get nginx working as a reverse proxy for my ha vm?

Great! Thanks. Not really a problem for me, more of an inconvenience. Just wanted to make sure i wasn't messing something up by putting my cards in the wrong slot. I knew upgrading would have it's drawbacks.
