    If you mean after xfs_repair is done just start the array normally, disk should mount now.

    So it started up fine. I can browse the files.. Can i start a check now to see if everything is as it shuold be somehow?

    i have a huge lost-found folder now with lots of files in :) why?

    There's only one way, though you can go ahead and use -L if it asks for it.

    Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which needs to be replayed. Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before re-running xfs_repair. If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use the -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair. Note that destroying the log may cause corruption -- please attempt a mount of the filesystem before doing this.

    There might have been a better way of resolving this before the rebuild, but I think the best option now is to run xfs_repair without -n, filesystem looks very corrupt, but sometimes xfs_repair output makes it look worse than it is.

     

    If the disk was recently rebuilt without error emulated disk should be the same, but it won't hurt much to try.

    it has just been rebuilt without error, so i asume it wouldnt do any good.

    can someone explain why the parity disc can't "fix" this? i mean if the disc goes bad i had the idea that the parity would have a "backup" and if a new disc was inserted, everything would be fine again? :(

    Doesn't look like there were any I/O errors during the rebuild, and I didn't see any in the diagnostics, but there was some clutter in the syslog so I wanted to check. Do you have multiple browsers or browser tabs open to your server, including mobile? That would cause the clutter I was seeing. (csrf token)

     

    So, you need to repair the filesystem on disk1.

     

    Stop the array and start it in Maintenance mode, then click on Disk1 to get to its page and Click the button to check its filesystem.

     

    Capture any output and post it.

    Yes to several open browsers.

    Attached is the output... i would recommend changing how it shows this output as it crashes my browser because of the size. Would be much better to generate a file like the diag :) Had to save the site html and take info from there

    So i had a SATA cable fail somehow that ended up in an array disc being disabled.

    I followed the guide to re-enable the disc with stopping the array, removing the disc from the array. starting. stopping, enabling the disc for array and making it rebuilt again. Works fine - BUT it now says that my disc have no file system and also want to format the drive (after the rebuilt has finished without errors...)

    Is this correct to format it?

    Has it automatically moved the files that were ON the disc to the other discs in the array?

    I hope im not losing files :(

     

    How would you configure this disc setup?

    So i have a nice HP Xeon workstation with Unraid 6.8. I have the following drives - but whats the BEST way to configure them?

    2 x 8TB S6

    1 x 5TB S6

    1 x 3TB S6

    1 x 1TB S6 SSD

    1 x 512GB S6 SSD

    1 x 512GB PCIe NVME SSD

    1 x 256GB M.2 SSD

    4 x 240GB S6 SSD

     

    Would it make sense to buy a large parity disc aswell to boost storage space? Like a 10 or 12TB disc?

    The IDEA was to use the 512GB NVME as very fast cache - but i don't know how that works with all the other SSD's. Would be nice to have the 4 x 240TB in RAID5 as cache aswell :D

     

    32gig ram aswell btw..

    What are your thoughts?

    Any info is much appreciated! 

    EDIT: Also GTX1050ti for transcoding plex and that works extremely well!

    It's used mostly for document storage and PLEX

     

    SOLVED - Cache RAID5 shows wrong size

    So basically a 3 or 4 disc RAID5 cache tells you some wrong numbers but it works 100% correctly?

    I am about to install 4 x 240gb ssd's as cache - or atleast that was the thought :D

    I have 1 x 512GB PCIe NVME as cache right now and 1 x 256GB M.2 unassigned that im not sure how to use best way :D

    Extremely slow transfer speeds from USB3 to Array

    Brand new HP Xeon CPU // 32GB RAM

     

    Western Digital USB3.1 external harddrive with 2x8TB discs in raid0 (seen as one disc) NTFS

    8TB brand new parity

    8TB brand new Array disc1

    Samsung 1TB SSD Array disc2

    Samsung 512GB SSD Array disc3

    Samsung 512GB NVME cache

    all running xfs

     

    when i transfer from USB via Krusader docker i get 5-15MB/sec which is extremely slow!

    what can i do to speed up the transfer?

    its writing directly to array as im transferring 7TB and it fails if i transfer to Cache first.

     

    Anyone?

    Thanks! :)
