February 22, 20242 yr Author ok, will do. Thanks for all your help and patience! I won't have the drives back in until tomorrow.
February 23, 20242 yr Author Ok, all the 16tb drives passed with no errors. I put the drives back in the system and booted up, the array did not start due to an invalid configuration. So I went no farther, this diag dump is after installing the 2 drives and booting up. Thanks ultimate-diagnostics-20240222-1610.zip Edited February 23, 20242 yr by vmax5000
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert Probably nothing we can do except New Config and rebuild parity. And parity sync will be a good test of how things are working. It will read all data disks but not change them. And write both parity disks, which will be OK since parity has none of your data. That will mean no way to rebuild disk3 so whatever is on it is what you will have. If disk3 or any others are unmountable we can try to repair after parity sync. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#reset-the-array-configuration
February 23, 20242 yr Author Ok, I do have a full flash drive backup from when the system was working, can that be of any help? If not how do I create a new config? Thanks

February 23, 20242 yr Author Sorry, I missed that, ok, I will clench my teeth and go for it! Thanks for your help.
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert If you have any questions, ask. After parity sync has been running for a while, post new diagnostics so we can take a look at how things are going.
February 23, 20242 yr Author Just thought I would try copying my backup of the config folder to the flash drive and booted up, everything came up except drive 3, I looked on disk 2 and there is a folder with lost & found, can I fix that data?
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert I thought we were going to do New Config. You should at least do a parity check, but that can wait. Post new diagnostics
February 23, 20242 yr Author Well, the parity check is not going well, I am seeing lots of errors, should I just stop the parity check and create a new config? Here is a dump ultimate-diagnostics-20240222-1840.zip
February 23, 20242 yr Author I could not stop the parity check and it wasn't doing anything so I rebooted and I am going to do the new config, sorry I should have listened to you in the first place. I will post a new diag after the new config and parity check.
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert New Config won't really help until you get these I/O errors fixed.
February 23, 20242 yr Author I rebooted and started the new config. Disk 3 is disabled and disk 2 is emulated. but I'm not seeing io errors now. Should I stop the system again? I really don't know why I am getting any errors, the drives all passed without error. The only thing I can do is shut down and move those drives back on to the mother board, should I do that, or just let things run for now? ultimate-diagnostics-20240222-1914.zip
February 23, 20242 yr Author Hope you had a good sleep! I finally found out what my trouble was, I have a bad pc express slot and that's what was causing all of the trouble. I now have everything going the way it should, the parity drives are rebuilding. I will get you a new diag tomorrow, but I thought I would share a screenshot showing the good stuff! Thanks again
February 23, 20242 yr Author It looks like I will need to replace the old hardware, is it hard to move everything to a new motherboard? Also, I do have a lost & found folder, can that help with the recovery? How do process those files? I was surprised as how much of my data was still there! Thanks for sticking with me though this disaster! ultimate-diagnostics-20240223-1322.zip
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert 2 minutes ago, vmax5000 said: hard to move everything to a new motherboard? I have replaced my case once, everything else more than once. Some of my old hardware is in my backup server. I even had to bring that backup server motherboard/cpu/RAM back to my main server temporarily while I waited on parts to rebuild my main server when its motherboard died. Here is the thread about that: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/93149-mitx-motherboard-which-can-support-7-drives-on-board Every time I changed anything, drives and boot flash moved over to other hardware, booted up and running no problems.
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert 13 minutes ago, vmax5000 said: lost & found Looks like disks 2 and 3 have some. You can click Compute... for a share on the User Shares page to see how much of each disk or pool is used by that share. Do that on lost+found and post screenshot.
February 23, 20242 yr Community Expert Your system share has files on the array. Ideally, appdata, domains, and system shares would have all files on fast pool with nothing on the array, so Dockers/VMs will perform better, and so array disks can spin down since these files are always open. We can discuss what to do about that later.
February 23, 20242 yr Author Ok, here is the screenshot of the compute Yes, I find the shares and appdata part of unraid a bit hard to understand. I added the second pool to move plex from the main pool because everything was running at a snails pace, after moving plex everything started running much faster.
February 24, 20242 yr Community Expert Looks like most of lost+found is on disk3. What do you get from command line with these? ls -lah /mnt/disk2/lost+found ls -lah /mnt/disk3/lost+found
February 24, 20242 yr Author here are the results of the cmds you asked for, and I found lots of movies and tv shows using the gui. There are 177 folders in the TV shows section so I didn't screenshot it but the movies one was much shorter. Anyway here are the results
