March 26, 200818 yr Hi, I'm a new user to unRaid. I installed 2 drives 250gb, 500gb and parity 500gb. I filled up the first 500gb through a user share and ran out of space even though the 250gb disk was almost empty. I went through telnet and moved some files from /mnt/disk1 to /mnt/disk2 which cleared up some space on disk1 which let me continue copying to the user share. Once everything was done I looked in the user share and the files I moved from one disk to the other were not visible (the folders I moved had the same parent folders in disk1 and 2. i.e.: disk1/downloads/MyFolder to disk2/downloads/MyFolder) So...not seeing my folders that I manually moved I thought that if I stopped the array and start it again it would scan the folders and reappear.... but unfortunatly after hitting stop, unRaid sees my 500gb (disk1) as unformatted!! I did a quick search on the forum and saw some people say I should run reiserfsck so I did and it returns no error! Here's the report: Replaying journal.. Reiserfs journal '/dev/md1' in blocks [18..8211]: 0 transactions replayed Checking internal tree..finished Comparing bitmaps..finished Checking Semantic tree: finished No corruptions found There are on the filesystem: Leaves 132939 Internal nodes 832 Directories 1131 Other files 14042 Data block pointers 133266054 (11873059 of them are zero) Safe links 0 I just hope you guys can fix this for me as I have some crucial data in there ( I did go with this solution for the redundancy! ). I know how to go about in linux but if you want me to post logs or files, let me know the path as well... just telling me syslog won't be enough. Thx.
March 26, 200818 yr If you change directory to a disk while logged in via telnet, or if any file is open and being accessed, it will be "busy" and not be able to be unmounted and mounted properly when stopping and re-starting the array. So, at the telnet prompt, type: cd samba stop stop log off of telnet, refresh the browser, then stop the array if it is not already stopped, then re-start it. Odds are it will be just fine. Whatever you do, do not click the "format" checkbox. The drive does not need formatting. It was just that the drive could not be mounted, not that it is unformatted. (The error message is mis-leading) Also, the newer version of unRaid will automatically update the user shares when you move files in the disk folders. No need to stop and re-start the array to see the changes. I suggest you upgrade and make life a lot easier on yourself. Joe L.
March 26, 200818 yr Author Thx Joe. The commands you gave me did solve the issue. As for the refreshing of the user share, I'm using 4.2.4 which is the latest non beta version. Or are you talking about 4.3 beta?
