January 25Jan 25 I have an old hdd that is suffering from old age (some bad sectors, some corruption),i did connected with a usb to sata "adapter" and i am using unnasigned devices plugin to mount the drive as a disk.i used the web interface to move files out of the hdd in the background but while navigating, mainly going into the disk page or sometimes at random the browser loses the connection and is not able to load any page anymore.one thing is, i usually connect via hostname (tower.lan) while the web server is stuck if i open the browser in the ip, it still is able to work but if the thing hangs at the ip it will lock me out, i suspect the web session gets hanggedi can't see any relevant logs about the webserver...ssh connections are never lost i believe..
January 25Jan 25 Community Expert Some ways HDDs fail cause the entire machine to freeze/hang between operations on basically any OS, not much can be done about that.Would try doing that recovery on another machine so you don't bog down anything you're actually using.
