X500658 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Hello, I'm new here, using Unraid 6.9.2. I am currently converting my PC from Windows and I would like some help moving files. I have a used 500GB drive (disk2) precleared and added to that array 4 days ago and today it that reported "current pending sectors 1" while main->view just shows "No listing: Too many files". I plan to transfer all the contents to an empty 1TB drive (disk4) while preserving the folder structure, share & dockers assignments, etc., especially the seeding torrents I have. I have no parity set up yet since I was still in the process of moving stuff from Windows. I have confirmed some of the seeding torrents to be missing (through binhex-krusader) and several folders from across shares missing (through shares->view->location) I was unable to use binhex-krusader to transfer since I couldn't get the disk2 mounted into the docker's config, the dropdown doesn't list it and manually typing "/mnt/disk2" doesn't work as well. I'm terrible with CLI stuff (I'm such a noob hahaha) but I've read this page: https://wiki.unraid.net/Transferring_Files_Within_the_unRAID_Server, and I believe that the command "cp -r /mnt/disk2 /mnt/disk4" is what I'm looking for but I'm not sure how to relink the files if linuxserver-qbittorent can't automatically do it. I would like confirmation or a correction on the proper action to do. Attached is the downloaded SMART report of the 500GB drive: Edit: I finally got unBALANCE to work and it reports disk2 "0 bytes" on columns SIZE, FREE and PLAN Edit 2: Now main reports disk2 as unmountable Edit 3: I posted in Reddit, I'm getting scared, https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/qwo8xq/safety_move_files_from_disk_with_smart_error/ Note to self: You should've mounted the larger drives first so you could have prepared a parity drive. tower-smart-20211118-1806.zip Edited November 18, 2021 by X500658 added reddit link Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Without the diagnostics, your posted SMART shows 42000 CRC errors over the course of 27000 hours. Reseat the cabling, remove power splitters etc. Quote Link to comment
X500658 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 I no longer have any duplicates of those data unfortunately, even last week when I was still using Windows as host. (same PC btw, in case this might be relevant) I have now attached the Diagnostics file tower-diagnostics-20211118-2127.zip Quote Link to comment

Why is it attached? 25 minutes ago, X500658 said: no longer have any duplicates of those data So this data isn't important enough to have backups? I guess we will have to try to repair the filesystem on unmountable disk2, but since it is failing might be futile. Maybe we could try to clone it to a good disk and repair the filesystem on that. Do you have any spare good disks? Let's call in @JorgeB for a look. Quote Link to comment
X500658 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 The unassigned disk has no more data, successfully moved....some of which were in disk2.... I just wasn't able to unplug it because I haven't shutdown the PC yet, spun down the drives several times though. I would say that its important to me just I'm not able to keep backups, especially 3-2-1. My experience with using internal HDDs was actually better than externals HDDs, I just went on transplanting drives and data across platforms My currently available good disk is disk4 (1TB) Quote Link to comment

X500658 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm assuming that cloning a bad disk doesn't make the cloned drive bad, then disk4... I forgot to mention that its empty and also preleared. I've actually only learned of actual backup practices this year. I used to just keep my external drives in the back of my closet, 9y.o. me saying "its the least disturbed place". The preventing me is that I'm actually still a full time student (lousy excuse but I'm in a 3rd world country) Quote Link to comment

I forgot to mention that its empty and also preleared It may be empty, but since it has been formatted in the array, it is no longer clear. Since you don't have parity you can remove it from the array though. Doesn't matter if it's clear or not. Quote Link to comment
X500658 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 It works! Thank you trurl, Squid and JorgeB! :)))))))))))))) Quote Link to comment
