December 10, 20241 yr My unRAID server froze up overnight. I rebooted and it wouldn't recognize my USB drive. I reformatted the USB drive using the latest unRAID installer. Now the server boots, but my array configuration and all my data seem to be missing. I had dual parity drives and I'm not sure which drives were part of the parity and which were part of the array. Additionally, I had 4 SSDs in a cache configuration and 2 NVME drives in a second NVME only array to use for my Docker storage. I've been running in this configuration for months and just upgraded to 6.12.14 last week. After booting from the new drive, everything is missing, including my root password configuration. It's like this system was never configured to run unRAID. After unlocking my drives through the command line, I collected this information: /dev/mapper/sdb_crypt: LABEL="USBHDBackUp1" UUID="11525295270607461180" UUID_SUB="15904658808295759975" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdc_crypt: LABEL="USBHDBackUp2" UUID="929964079474175012" UUID_SUB="8032658314062076065" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdd_crypt: LABEL="USBBackUp" UUID="12854700900214470867" UUID_SUB="6576465849343896963" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sde_crypt: LABEL="nvme" UUID="6824026342761901767" UUID_SUB="890734348413501609" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdf_crypt: LABEL="nvme" UUID="6824026342761901767" UUID_SUB="6103350898280030218" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdg_crypt: LABEL="disk11" UUID="1345808728950327241" UUID_SUB="4342238976627344387" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdh_crypt: LABEL="cache" UUID="5250720459048516885" UUID_SUB="7632638559409651127" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdi_crypt: LABEL="cache" UUID="5250720459048516885" UUID_SUB="4850754309252510584" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdj_crypt: LABEL="cache" UUID="5250720459048516885" UUID_SUB="8958075642769111403" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdk_crypt: LABEL="cache" UUID="5250720459048516885" UUID_SUB="6962897839273237394" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdl_crypt: LABEL="disk8" UUID="8937042589405757781" UUID_SUB="13848434654813648408" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdm_crypt: LABEL="disk9" UUID="14732484752798114098" UUID_SUB="16611396775970686022" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdo_crypt: LABEL="disk10" UUID="18377697557993904195" UUID_SUB="14493959163129204559" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdq_crypt: LABEL="disk2" UUID="14389837395481855125" UUID_SUB="10914146581286836343" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdr_crypt: LABEL="disk1" UUID="9576740049995963878" UUID_SUB="4134871890165616934" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sds_crypt: LABEL="disk7" UUID="9166162464674222956" UUID_SUB="2197824458267223079" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdt_crypt: LABEL="disk3" UUID="13028928541799397267" UUID_SUB="2826180337778506722" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdu_crypt: LABEL="disk4" UUID="14078542287389798980" UUID_SUB="6515024141516903819" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdv_crypt: LABEL="disk5" UUID="6083694590957314215" UUID_SUB="14683744169931770476" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" /dev/mapper/sdw_crypt: LABEL="disk6" UUID="9550631432841720489" UUID_SUB="6145927400860562969" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="zfs_member" root@Tower:~# lsblk -f |grep _crypt └─sdb_crypt zfs_member 5000 USBHDBackUp1 11525295270607461180 └─sdc_crypt zfs_member 5000 USBHDBackUp2 929964079474175012 └─sdd_crypt zfs_member 5000 USBBackUp 12854700900214470867 └─sde_crypt zfs_member 5000 nvme 6824026342761901767 └─sdf_crypt zfs_member 5000 nvme 6824026342761901767 └─sdg_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk11 1345808728950327241 └─sdh_crypt zfs_member 5000 cache 5250720459048516885 └─sdi_crypt zfs_member 5000 cache 5250720459048516885 └─sdj_crypt zfs_member 5000 cache 5250720459048516885 └─sdk_crypt zfs_member 5000 cache 5250720459048516885 └─sdl_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk8 8937042589405757781 └─sdm_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk9 14732484752798114098 └─sdo_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk10 18377697557993904195 └─sdq_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk2 14389837395481855125 └─sdr_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk1 9576740049995963878 └─sds_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk7 9166162464674222956 └─sdt_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk3 13028928541799397267 └─sdu_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk4 14078542287389798980 └─sdv_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk5 6083694590957314215 └─sdw_crypt zfs_member 5000 disk6 9550631432841720489 I recreated my array layout to the best of my ability using that information. How safe am I to start the array at this point? Will I still have my network/docker/etc configuration when I start up again? I have a new ticket open, but I was hoping to get some community guidance. I plan on ordering a new USB drive to replace my SanDisk Cruzer that failed, but I'm just trying to get back up and running for now. Thanks, Doug
December 10, 20241 yr Community Expert did you make a flash backup? if so grab the config folder and copy it to the flash drive. since you reformated the device and didn't keep the config data. your disk setting are gone. You will need to set the FS to auto and read the disk and remake and pool devices.
December 11, 20241 yr Community Expert Since the disks were using zfs easy to see where each one goes where, except parity, but you have a 50/50 change of getting it right, if you miss, you will just need to re-sync parity.
