Yay! The array started.

 

Some time ago I cleaned all the filters and fans out, and that is where the crc errors crept in, I remember now, I had to re-seat a few sata cables.

 

It's not doing a parity check, so I guess all is ok?

 

I stand corrected, the shares are still there, it's  the user account that I will have re-create.

 

Other things are different, I had disk 1, 2 and 5 all assigned to TV Shows, but it looks like it is all one big storage now.

Another odd thing, when I click Shares, you initially (just a quick flash) get the UI I'm used, and then it goes to this other version - see screenshot.

 

It looks messed up, especially the far right "Read settings" options

Great, now you can either reconfigure the rest of the server or restore the rest of the config, if the latter do one or a few files at the time to see if you find the culprit if it gets borked again.

The share settings page - is that normal?

You have the GUI help enabled, click the ?, top right.

Ah, simples!

 

Well, things are looking in a much better place now, and I really appreciate your help here, if I could buy you a few beers I would!

 

I planning on upgrading this to a newer system. it going to be using my old i7 desktop board/RAM etc, the very PC I'm using now, I'll keep the old system though, and do a rsync of anything super important - I'll purchase another license.

 

Once again - thank you.

Oh, one more question , when it came back up I now have the following on disk 3

domains

isos

system

 

I guess it picked there as it is empty, but I will soon pulling drive 3 out and replacing it, I'm also out of physical space in the case, can I simply move those directories to another disk? Nothing special to do?

You can, and these should usually be in a pool, if you later add one.
