    I think it depends on your connection. But my download speed was a lot faster than my upload speed (1gb down vs 40mb up). So I just ended up moving groups of folders manually. But I thought a few posts up somebody had noted how to reverse the script to change it to download.

    Did you change something in the mount script?

    I also have a 1 gig line but only get 67 MB when DL. Should be almost double. I'm using DoubleCommander but time is important so hope someone has a better solution.

  2. Okay so you suggestion is if i want to do it the proper way without having to preclear all drives is to.

    Stop currently parity build.

    Remove parity drive.

    Install 2 new replacement drives.

    Add 2 new drives in new data slots.

    Copy data from old disks to new disks.

    Replace old disks data slots with 2 other newer disks.

    When thats done add parity and rebuild?

  3. Thanks for the answer. I will let it rebuild.

    Ive ordered 2 x molex to sata power cables.

    I have enough sata data cables since i have a controller card.

    If i move the data manually from old disk1 to disk2 after parity has finished can i do the last 3 steps in 1 step. So remove both old data drives (1 with data, 1 without data) add 2 new replacement drives and 2 new drives normally to array?

    Tbh I haven't precleared new parity drive since they are new Exos enterprise drives and read it should not be necessary anymore.

  4. Thanks for the answer. It's already been building parity for a few hours now.

    But can I move the data from the old disk2 to disk1 while parity is rebuilding?

    Also with the new disks how do I balance them correctly so let's say I want to fill disk1 up to x perfect and then next disk takes over so it will not completely fill up? Is there a balancer or what is best practice?

  5. So I have 3 disks in my array (1 x 8 TB Parity, 1 x 3 TB and 1 x 6 TB.

    I want to change it to 5 x 18 TB disks quickly.

    I have removed the parity and changed with a new disk and started it.

    Takes a long time.

    How do I change the datadrives quickly (they are healthy)?

    Can I move the data from disk2 to disk1 while the parity is rebuilding or is that not smart? Reason is I only have two sata power ports left for the new 4 disks, so thought I could empty data from one hdd and take that out and maybe buy a molex to sata power cable for the remaining.

    I have a dealine on this to saturday, so hope it's doable.

    What kind of Google account do you have? Mine has been in read-only for some time. Been putting off moving the files back but might have to up the priority if they're threatening deletion 😳

    Had Google Workspace after being forced from the old G-Suite. It's been read only since july I think, so I got 30 days to move it over before deleting all of it.

    @axeman Thanks I have 1gb DL speed so I think I will move it manually then. Did you use Double Commander or Mc to move it over manually? I want to keep all the attributes. stamps etc.

    In my personal experience that is not a very good idea, I've worked with a lot of recertified drives and at best there's a 50/50 change of them not failing in the first few weeks of use.

    Damn that was not the answer I was hoping for:( I've seen others mention many of their recertified Exos was perfectly fine, since it was enterprise.

    Hi new to this plugin. Have a few questions.

     

    1. Is incremental backup available?

    2. What is the general consensus on Plex cache etc. folders. Should they be excluded or not?

    Anyone?

    Is that something new? I have personally never experienced this with Seagate. They have always honored the 5 years warranty and I always just choose the cheapest supplier here in Denmark. 

     

    The only time I have experienced something simular was with WD drives. It was impossible to see from the model number and it came as a very big surprise for me that the drive only came with 1 year warranty (and died after 1½ year). This was around the WD Red SMR scandal and I haven't purchased WD since. 

     

     

    Hi also from Denmark.

    Considering ordering Seagate recertified from ServerPartDeals, but if something is wrong with the drives, would I then be able to contact Seagate in Denmark and return it to them instead of sending back to US?

  10. Hi Jorge.

    I tried a new USB and it worked.

     

    The reason was my ident.cfg file was not good, a couple of examples:

    hideDotFiles="no" became hideDotFiles="&no"

    DOMAIN_LOGIN="Administrator" became DOMAIN_LOGIN="Adiinistrator"

    also when it booted up I had a lot of errors saying it couldn't be fixed.

     

    So I bought the USB key formatted it FAT32 in slow mode, took to long time, so just cancelled it and quick formatted it. Put Unraid on it and the old config where I changed ident.cfg to correct and hope that will fix it.

     

    Also support said I should correct MacVlan, which I also did:)

    Everything looks normal to me, doesn't the link below get you to the GUI?

     

    http://192.168.1.2

    Yes the link gets me to the GUI just, but i cant access it through network map or network share like normal.

    What troubles me more is that i completely loose connection to 192.168.1.2 and have to reboot/reset it to get it to boot up again.

    Then i dont get access to the log files.

    Any thoughts on what it can be causing this?

    It was the same with the old USB Key, which is now changed with another i had laying around.

  12. I've tried redoing the flash drive through USB creator and now changed the cache drive.

    It boots fine with non gui and if I browse flash in unraid I can see it writes to the flash drive, since file dates has changed, but can't access Unraid anymore from Windows or Android like normal earlier. Tried both UNC and IP.
