June 22, 20215 yr I currently have an UNRAID server and want to start from scratch and remove everything I have and start over using some best practice since I didn't do that from the start. What is the best way to erase everything and start over with a fresh install? Allen
June 23, 20215 yr To start all the settings over again, delete /config on the flash drive, but do NOT delete the .key file To wipe out all of the hard drives, From the command line, rm -rf /mnt/user Or alternatively with the array stopped, change each drive's filesystem from XFS to instead be BTRFS, start the array and it'll want to format the drives, do that they stop the array and change the disks back to be XFS and format them again.
August 1, 20214 yr I also want to start from scratch, but keep all my data as far as I can, I'm sitting with a mess. From my drives 1 reports as not installed and another reports as "unmountable: no file system".

You should start with trying to fix what you have since apparently not all of your data can be accessed currently and starting from scratch won't change that. Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread.

August 3, 20214 yr Ok, since you said I should try and fix this situation. I probably need to first make my disk 1 part of the array without a rebuild, is this even possible ? From the diagnostics my disk5 doesn't look too great but it can be accessed now, so I'm not sure about this and getting everything running again.

October 22, 20214 yr Disk 5 online again but Disk1 has not been placed part of the group tower-diagnostics-20211022-0904.zip
October 22, 20214 yr Community Expert Disk5 is mounting now, but you should run an extended SMART test on disk5, disk1 was already disabled in the previous diags.
