Glimmerman911 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I upgraded the size of my flash drive using the backup procedure, and this worked. However when I booted up, one drive was missing. 1. I powered down, replaced the SATA cable, reseated the power cable, still missing drive 2. Swap the power cable and SATA with another drive, still missing the same drive 3. Replace the drive with a larger one, the larger drive does not show up I am not sure where to go from here, I have tested power, SATA, and the drive itself? Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Updated testing: 1. Plugged in a different new, larger drive - no change, does not show up to select in place of the missing disk 2. Unplugged another drive in case there was some strange max-number of drives hit, no change just results in 2 missing disks 3. Tried switching sata cables with another cable on a different controller, no change, still missing same disk Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Continued testing all afternoon, I reset my BIOS in case something was wonky, I swapped the power and SATA from my cache drive to the original drive and to a new drive, I cannot get Unraid to pick up any disks, disk 8 status remains missing and I cannot figure out how to recover from this? It isn't just the missing disk, but I cannot get unraid to recognize any new disks to the system, I have tried with 2 new out-of-the-box disks. Something went wrong with the Flash drive replacement? I cannot fall back to my old flash drive because as soon as I assigned the key to the new Flash, the old one is banned from ever being my servers flash. I also get this error now along the top of the GUI: Warning: parse_ini_file(/usr/local/emhttp/state/flashbackup.ini): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/myservers2.phpon line552 What to do?

Glimmerman911 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 I just did an upgrade from 6.10.1 to 6.10.3 hoping that would fix it. Now instead of showing Disk 8 as missing, it shows Disk 8 as uninstalled. What has happened to the data/parity for Disk 8, what to do? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Diagnostics are attached! tower-diagnostics-20220906-1643.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Why are you still on ReiserFS? On 8/6/2022 at 12:44 PM, limetech said: Important: The Linux Community has deprecated reiserfs, and has scheduled it to be removed from the kernel in 2025. If you have single parity and only one missing disk you should be able to start the array. Start the array and post new diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Yes I have 1 parity drive and 1 missing drive, I started the array and attached new diagnostics. As for ReiserFS, I believe that is the file system when I first got unraid years and years ago, have no idea it needed to be upgraded. I have the fixcommonproblems app but it has not identified it as an issue? tower-diagnostics-Array-Started.zip Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 FYI, I started looking around my server after starting the array, and my WIndows 10 VM is broken, when I try to start it I get the following error: Execution error unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup to load the kvm modules. I used this right before upgrading the flash drive to a larger size so I could upgrade unraid, not sure what is causing this issue now too? Quote Link to comment

Diagnostics shows emulated disk8 is mounted so you should be able to browse its files since you have disk shares enabled. (I usually recommend not sharing disks and only working with user shares.) Do you have backups of anything important and irreplaceable? If you need to copy anything from emulated disk8, I always recommend copying to somewhere off the array so no array disks including parity are modified until you get your array back to normal. How is disk8 attached? Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Ok, I will get an external drive and try hooking it up to copy my files off. Yes, the files are emulated and I can browse the disk. Disk8 is attached via SATA cable, was originally direct to the motherboard and I have tried it now on both my SATA controllers as well, no change. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 What about power to the disk? You have a lot of disks. Any splitters involved? Have you checked all power connections? Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Power is not an issue, I have a 1200w psu with no splitters involved. I have tried switching power around to other disks, it is always disk 8 that does not show up. I have copied all the data from Disk 8 to outside of the array. What do I do next please?

JorgeB Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 You can either replace the disk or shrink the array so that disk is eliminated. Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 No disks show up when attached to my server to replace the disk or to add a new disk to the array. I have tried with 3 different disks on known working SATA & power cables, and none of them show up unfortunately. Quote Link to comment

Are the disks detected y the boards BIOS? If not they also won't be detected by Unraid, and you likely have a hardware problem, or the 3.3v SATA pin issue, google that. Quote Link to comment
Glimmerman911 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Believe I have it resolved: The 3TB drive that initially went missing must be dead, it is not being picked up The 8TB drive that I tried installing is from an 8TB seagate enclosure, brand new but appears to be dead or maybe seagate drives have the 3.3v pin? The 10TB drive that I tried installing is a white label WD drive that has the 3.3v pin and my power supply is not compatible, so it powers down I installed a molex to sata power connector to bypass the 3.3v and I now have the 10TB drive visible in Unraid, and chose it for disk 8. I entered my password to start the array, and now it is "Starting..." and disk 8 shows as Mounting so hopefully that is resolved now. When I reset my mobo bios, it turned off CPU virtualization, so I turned it on, presumably that is resolved when the array starts and I can check my VMs. I still get the following error along the top of the screen, since upgrading the flash: Warning: parse_ini_file(/usr/local/emhttp/state/flashbackup.ini): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/myservers2.phpon line552 *Edit* The array has now progressed to rebuilding, woohoo! Thanks for the help! VMs are working now as well, just the flashbackup error to deal with now? Edited September 7, 2022 by Glimmerman911 1 Quote Link to comment

Once you get array up and functioning the My servers plugin update will fix that error Quote Link to comment
