AllenT Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Do you want to also remove your data? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Do you have a license for Unraid? Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 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.

lat3ncy Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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". Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment

lat3ncy Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment

lat3ncy Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Disk 5 online again but Disk1 has not been placed part of the group tower-diagnostics-20211022-0904.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Disk5 is mounting now, but you should run an extended SMART test on disk5, disk1 was already disabled in the previous diags. Quote Link to comment
