November 23, 20232 yr I hope somebody can help me. I wanted to replace a disk with a larger disk, so before doing that I moved the data using unbalance scatter. since that has completed, I can't see my shares in the GUI and docker apps are frozen, can't restart. I'm very new to unraid, so any help would be appreciated. allfather-diagnostics-20231123-1006.zip
November 23, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution A reboot should bring the shares back, then post new diags if there are other issues.
November 23, 20232 yr Author Thank you so much Jorge, I wasn't sure I should restart before I got advice in case you needed extra logs etc. But that did the trick. Is there any easy way for a noob like me to know when I should and shouldn't try a reboot, in case I encounter an error like this again? Also, is it advisable to use unbalance, to move data off disks before replacing them with larger disks? Thanks so much again, for sorting me out so quickly

In this case the problem was logged in the syslog, and it's not an uncommon issue after moving files, but generally it's not a problem to try a reboot first, but save the diags before doing it in case they are needed later.
November 23, 20232 yr Community Expert Just thought I would mention that moving files so you can upsize a disk is the wrong approach. Just replace the smaller disk with the larger disk and let it rebuild.
