I will admit that I am still very new to Unraid. I recently noticed that my Unraid dashboard is showing extra devices when previously it was working just fine. I haven't made any hardware changes so not sure why it would say that:

I have run the diagnostics and also attached them to this post.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

Where is it showing extra devices? Also note that RAID controllers are not recommended with Unraid.

Maybe I am using the wrong terminology, but as you can see in the screenshot, I am showing Parity 2, but I cannot do anything with it. The same thing applies to Disk 10, it's showing unassigned yet I cannot assign it to anything.

You can assign one if you like, this is normal, it will always show that slot with the array stopped.

You can also assign an extra disk there, you can reduce the slot count to 11 to not show that.

Thanks, Jorge - I've reduced the slot count to 11, but I still cannot assign Parity 2 to anything. In addition, I have the error message "Too many attached devices. Please consider upgrading your registration key" but again, I've not added any new hardware between when it was working and now.

Has there been a license change in numbers at all? I noticed that the Starter license is now 6 storage devices... I swear it used to be higher.

You have a Starter key, so you can only have a max of 6 attached devices; there are currently 10. That's why you cannot start the array.

I know - that's why I am asking if there was a change recently in licensing because when I purchased it originally, everything worked fine...

Nope, has always been 6. Did you just buy it now? If you were on the trial until now then that lets you have unlimited devices.

No - I've had it for a couple of months. Hence why I find it strange!

That should not be possible, don't see how a Stater key could work with more than 6 devices, unless they were first connected with the array started.
