skank Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 After years of happy use, i now have issues. It seems my server suddenly becomes unreachable, then without doing anything back reachble and this in loop Addons showing bad behaviour: Sabnzb web ui is reachable then after i dunno 5 minutes it says connection is broken Emby server -> when using client, it suddenly says the server (on unraid) isnt reachable and web socket connections are lost, i dunno why, then it just restores I added log I hope you guys can help unraid-syslog-20231021-1305.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Enable the syslog server and post that after a crash. Quote Link to comment

Hi i did But then i found out disc 1 has smart errors See log This might be the issue cause the file was on that disk Is the disk dead? Should i replace?

skank Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 If its dead and has to be replaced. What should i do? I have a one parity disk + 7 data disk array The parity is 6 tb One disk out of the 7 is 6 tb, rest is all 2tb and 3 tb Disk 1 , the oldest, which is apparently dead now? , is 2 tb Should i just replace it by a 6 tb Or should i replace the parity into 8 tb, and then use the old 6 tb parity to replace disk 1 ?

It looks pretty dead. 5 hours ago, skank said: Or should i replace the parity into 8 tb First you need to replace the failed disk, to replace parity all data disks must be good. Quote Link to comment
skank Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Oh crap, so i cant buy a 8tb disk... Cause i first need to swap disk 1, and then i cant use that same disk to swap the parity? So i'm obligated to buy a 6tb disk? No way i can buy 8 tb now? Quote Link to comment
skank Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 What would happen if i swap the parity with a 8tb first, and then swap disk one with the old parity? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 You can do the parity swap procedure. Quote Link to comment
skank Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 I might upgrade my other hardware as well. I'm gonna buy a new mobo, cpu and ram. Can i just swap after or before my disks swap? Or is it linked to my unraid license? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 License is tied to the flash drive, you can swap everything else. Quote Link to comment
skank Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Ok i tried parity swap Followed this video When i enter the 8tb instead of the old parity 6tb And i change the 2tb defect disk 1 to the old parity 6tb, the disks dont show blue and i cant copy the parity information to the new parity... What now? i can say for disk 1 to "no device" and keep the parity the old 6tb drive and then i can : Start will disable the missing disk and then bring the array on-line. Install a replacement disk as soon as possible. Should i click that? Do know that the 8tb disk, isnt new either , its an old free nas drive Quote Link to comment

I unassigned it and took it out So i should put the 6 tb parity back as parity and at disk 1 leave it blank and say yes to: "Start will disable the missing disk and then bring the array on-line. Install a replacement disk as soon as possible." ? Edited November 2, 2023 by skank Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 2 minutes ago, skank said: I unassigned it and took it out You must start the array with the disk unassigned, it will then show a red x, it's a requirement for the parity swap to work that the disk is disabled. 3 minutes ago, skank said: So i should put the 6 tb parity back as parity and at disk 1 leave it blank and say yes to: Correct Quote Link to comment
skank Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Yes perfect ! It's starting to copy parity ! Great, i wasnt sure ... Thx a lot ! Curious when its done, all is good. Quote Link to comment
