I went to replace one of my disks with a larger disk today and upon rebuild another disk is now showing read errors.  Does this mean the rebuild will fail?  Any help would be appreciated.

The rebuild seems stuck it hasn't progressed in several hours.  Any help would be welcome!

 

Disk8 dropped offline, cancel the rebuild, check/replace cables and try again.

Thank you for replying.  I have clicked on Cancel and Pause and no result.  I have waited for an hour with no change.  Is this normal?

So I did a shut down, checked the connection drive 8 and reseated.  The web GUI no longer comes up and I am getting the following error on the console:  /etc/rc.d/rc.local: line 110: /var/tmp/go: cannot execute binary file: exec format error

 

I searched for this error, but to no avail.   Any help would be appreciated

This suggests to me that the config/go file on the flash drive may be corrupt.  It should be a human readable text file so you may want to plug the flash drive into another system to have a look at it.

Here is the go file.  I don't see anything in it.

That file is definitely corrupt.    You can get the default one from a zip download of the relevant Unraid release.      However the fact it is corrupt in the first place makes me wonder about other files on the flash drive and whether the flash drive is having problems.    Do you have a recent backup of your flash drive?

After updating to the most recent copy of Unraid yesterday I performed the My Server backup.

So I was able to download the flash backup and install it to a new usb drive and get into the web UI.  It asked me to set the root password and the array is currently stopped.  Is there anything else I should do to retain my configuration or am I good to go?

I think that is all but I could be wrong.    If you have any passwords specified elsewhere then they would also need setting again as the backup process deliberately does not store passwords.

Thank you JorgeB and Itimpi!  All I needed to do is get the GUID fixed and I am off and running again.  The reseat also worked now reconstruction is going along just fine.  I really appreciate your assistance 🙂
