When you assign the disks, refer to the assignments I already posted above. The serial numbers are clearly listed in those posts, and those same serial numbers will appear in the drop down selections for each disk. Just match them up and you should be good.

 

If you assigned a disk4 in the past, but then removed it, then your server has been waiting for you to replace it all that time, and so you had no parity protection since you already had a missing disk.

 

What about that SSD I mentioned?

Post new diagnostics after assigning the disks but before starting the array if you want me to check.

Awesome! Thank You

What do i have to enter to go further?

  

The username is root and the password is blank since you didn't keep any of your configuration.

This is were it stops at log in after i enter root and hit enter

Can't you access the WebGUI? By name or IP?

[vid1953]

before it would come up by itself.

[JorgeB]

Then you were probably booting in GUI mode, you can do that but can also still access the webGUI over the network using a PC or even phone.

I got in!!

Now I have notifications after I set up the old disk order. Am i getting this notification because there are files on all these discs that i dont want to lose? Is it ok to start array?

Those notifications are for disk SMART problems. Each disk itself keeps track of certain things in its firmware that relate to how the disk is working. Pending sectors are an important problem to watch out for on disks, which is why Unraid notifies you about them.

 

Post new diagnostics.

On WD RED disks, you should also have Unraid monitor SMART attributes 1 and 200. Click on each disk to get to its page and under SMART attribute notifications you can add 1,200 to the Custom attributes.

 

I recommend setting up Notifications to alert you immediately by email or other agent as soon as a problem is detected.

 

Run an extended SMART test on parity.

I have no clue what i am looking at in this report.

 

Also when i go to start the unraid i get this warning.: "Parity disk(s) content will be overwritten" "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started"

Will i lose all my files?

Do you have backups of anything important and irreplaceable? You can start without parity assigned if you need to copy anything critical off but you won't have any protection until you get new parity.

YES. That will allow you to use 6TB data disks if you add or replace any.

I will wait until i purchase another red western digital then.

Do we know if i need to replace any of the others?

Thank You Trurl

You should start the array now even without parity just to confirm your data is still there.

Just shut down and remove the old parity and then start up again and start the array or just unassign it?

This is all that is needed

[vid1953]

Unless I am looking at it wrong, the 3 discs are started after unasigning the parity disc.

I had over half of my discs filled and now i only show 31 GB used. If this is true I just lost 600 movie files.

Looks like it, you are hacked, like a few users were in the last week, make sure no ports are open to your server, or it's in the dmz.

I appreciate the help except I am learning as we go. I no nothing about this server. Is that a setting? The only people that acces this server for Plex, was my family on the outside.

Thank you for the help

[JorgeB]

I never used Plex, go to the router page and check the port forwarding section, remove any forwarded ports to the server.

[vid1953]

The $145 for a new drive doesnt bother as much as losing my entire library . I didnt have any problems until days after i clicked to update the server. 

I have no forwarded ports that I can see. What will happen if i fire it up and assign the old parity drive and start the array?

Do I have to wait before i load the Plex docker? ( that should be a real trip trying to figure that out)

It will build parity based on the empty data disks.

[vid1953]

I  have to wait for the other drive ant way. So i figure see what shows up after its done.

Do i have to wait to install the plex docker?
