December 30, 201411 yr Hi guys, it's been a while. So couple of months ago, I spent a week getting the server set up with some help from forum members and left it perfectly working. Today I needed to edit a .sh file on the flash drive, but it was in use by another application on the server, so I took the server offline and bought the USB up to my PC to edit the file. I then decided it might be a good idea to update from beta 9 to 12, note my array drives are formated in XFS and x2 cache btrfs. I booted the server and reallocated the array and cache drives. The 2 cache drives show a green light next to it, but the array drives are blue (new device not in array). I attempted to start the array but get a "Stopped. Initial configuration" on the left hand side. any ideas? I hope to god i dont have to reformat all the arrays again...too much information on them.
December 30, 201411 yr Community Expert I think you are saying that you have just done a new config and re-assigned the drives as if it were a new array? If so the drives showing as blue is standard until you first start the array. Just make sure that when you start the array the drives show the data you expect. If they show as 'unformatted' then something is wrong - make sure you do use the format option from the GUI.

December 30, 201411 yr Author thanks for reply. My problem is that the array does not start. When i click start, the screen blinks and the status shows as "Stopped. Initial configuration" Note I do not have a parity drive, never did and all was fine before.
December 30, 201411 yr Community Expert Just a thought - is your key file being detected? The text under the LimeTech logo in the GUI tells you what sort of license has been detected. The later betas are a bit more strict about where the key file needs to be located (in the 'config' folder on the flash drive).

Forgot all about the keyfile....better check my email attachments EDIT: right it works!, but it hasn't recognised my shares....is there a way of doing this?

Have you enabled User shares under Settings->Global Share settings?
December 30, 201411 yr Author yep, at the moment, no shares show under shares tab, and in windows it shows the seperate disks ... "disk 1" "disk 2" etc.....before I had disabled these and had shares for my backed up movies bluray Foreign Series the above folders with their contents still show across all 4 disks
December 30, 201411 yr Have you enabled User shares under Settings->Global Share settings? And rebooted afterwards? It shouldn't be necessary, but I'm seeing more and more things under unraid that need a reboot after updating a setting?
December 30, 201411 yr Community Expert yep, at the moment, no shares show under shares tab, and in windows it shows the seperate disks ... "disk 1" "disk 2" etc..... Showing the disk shares is the default. before I had disabled these and had shares for my backed up movies bluray Foreign Series the above folders with their contents still show across all 4 disks Normally all top level folders are automatically made into User shares.

I noticed the split options have changed, I had it like this before mnt/bluray/moviename/moviefile and the .../moviename folder along with its contents were spread across the disks.....which option do i need to pick?
