June 22, 20224 yr I had a genius show up at my house and shut off the main breaker without telling me; UPS lasted long enough for me to just get there and watch it shut down... FML. Now I'm getting a stale configuration error when starting the array. I fear I have made it worse by removing a drive and re-adding it; now disk 6 is emulated. How screwed am I? tower-syslog-20220622-1307.zip tower-diagnostics-20220622-0914.zip Edited June 22, 20224 yr by Tetromino

June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert It says disk6 is invalid. Did you start the array after reassigning the disk?
June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert Just now, Tetromino said: It says device contents emulated on disk 6. Where does it say that? Diagnostics doesn't say disk6 is missing or disabled, it says invalid, which leads me to believe it had already begun rebuild. But, from diagnostics, it doesn't look like the array had even been started since last reboot, so nothing was being emulated. Maybe you stopped rebuild and rebooted before getting those diagnostics? Can you give more complete description of everything you have done?
June 22, 20224 yr Author Sorry to clarify: I unassigned the disk -> reassigned it -> then started the array in maintenance mode; disk 6 was assigned when starting the array (I did not start the array with an unassigned disk) After which I noticed the "device contents emulated" icon on disk 6. Its quite possible I interrupted something but there was no indication or warning of doing so.
June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert The array wasn't started when you got those diagnostics. Is it now?
June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert If you start it with disk6 assigned, it is going to rebuild it. You are probably going to wind up rebuilding it anyway, but it would be useful to know if the emulated disk is mountable, since the emulated contents is what would be rebuilt. Unassign disk6, start the array, post new diagnostics.
June 22, 20224 yr Author Starting the array with Disk 6 unassigned results in a stale configuration. tower-diagnostics-20220622-0950.zip
June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert Those diagnostics shows all disks mounted including emulated disk6. But the screenshot shows array stopped. Strange. I assume you didn't change anything between taking the diagnostics and screenshot. Is that correct? Let's see if @JorgeB has anything to add to this.
June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert Are you supposed to have a cache disk? I assume not since no disk shows up for that and all shares are cache-no
June 22, 20224 yr Author No nothing was changed in between diagnostics & screenshot & no cache disk. Been meaning to add one.
June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert Solution 12 minutes ago, trurl said: But the screenshot shows array stopped. That's because of this pesky "stale configuration" error, array is starting, just not showing in the GUI, make sure there are no other browser windows open in the GUI, including phones or tab, also clear browser cache.
June 22, 20224 yr Author Omg, yea it looks like my dockers are up and running; although it says "Array must be started to view docker containers" at the top of the screen. Should I reassign the drive and let it rebuild? I'm assuming it will take a while but the GUI wont tell me?
June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert Fix the stale configuration before reassigning/rebuilding and the GUI will tell you. 22 minutes ago, JorgeB said: make sure there are no other browser windows open in the GUI, including phones or tab, also clear browser cache. Did you?
June 22, 20224 yr Author I closed all browser sessions on my current pc; I may have a session open on a different pc I dont have access to atm. Currently stale configuration error is still there even after clearing browser cache.

June 22, 20224 yr Author From earlier this morning on a different pc. Would rebooting unraid + clearing browser cache on my current pc clear the stale configuration GUI error? Thus far I have closed all open browser windows, cleared browser cache & rebooted my machine. Still getting the GUI error.
June 22, 20224 yr Community Expert This error can be a little elusive, sometimes I can't see a reason for it.
