Having some difficulty adding a new disk.  I changed the slots on the main page, but no other dropdowns come up to add the disk!  Something I'm missing?

 

I tested changing the slot count myself, changing it from 24 to 14, and the displayed number changes, but not the display, not the actual number of slots showing.  With it showing as 14, I rebooted, and it now shows again as 24, so not saved either.

 

So this would be a bug.  And that is what is stopping you from adding another disk.

Works for me.  Do you see same behavior on multiple browsers?

Maybe an adblocker or some other browser plugin blocking pages ?

 

A moment before I can test ...  I'm using Firefox, don't use Adblocker, do use NoScript, but everything for lime-technology.com is enabled, nothing apparent is blocked.  A complete reload of the page showed the slot count still changed, but not the displayed number of slots.  When I changed 24 slots to 14, it stayed 14 no matter what I did, but a slot for Disk 23 was still there.  However, I did not think to clear my browser cache, and can't test that yet...  When I rebooted the server, it again showed a slot count of 24.

 

Okay, machine back up, and viewing Main screen in Firefox, but no changes yet.  Opened up Internet Explorer, opened my server, stopped the array, changed 24 to 14, and it worked!  Disk 13 is the last now!  Went back to Firefox, and clicked the Refresh button (did not clear cache), and it shows the same!  I'll test further ...  I have no clue what the difference here is ...

In Firefox, I clear the caches, but doesn't seem to matter.

* Firefox, open tab to server -Slots: 14, last disk slot: 13

* Firefox, change slots to 18 - Slots: 18, last disk: 13

* Firefox, refresh, clear cache, close tab and reopen, no change - Slots: 18, last disk: 13

* Firefox, open second tab to server, change slots to 16 - Slots: 16, last disk: 13

* Firefox, back to first tab (still showing 18 and 13), refresh (no clear cache) - Slots: 16, last disk: 13

* Internet Explorer, tab still showing Slots: 14, last disk: 13 even after refresh

* Internet Explorer, change slots to 20, it auto refreshes and - Slots: 20, last disk: 19

* Back to Firefox, refresh (nothing special) and it changes - Slots: 20, last disk: 19

 

With just a simple page refresh, Firefox picked up the change in slots and changed the display to show the correct number of slots.

 

So the slot changes appear to be happening back at the server, but somehow in the Firefox session aren't linked back to where it matters.

I'm really sorry, I'm going to be heading off to work soon, no more testing until I'm home later this evening.

A little more testing, and a couple more clues, one possibly significant.

 

Tried Chrome, and it works fine, every time.  Went back to Firefox and suddenly it worked!  Tried again and it didn't work.  I have discovered that the Cache Devices slots and slot count behaves the same way.  It too works fine in Chrome, and only occasionally in Firefox.  I repeated testing over and over.  So far, I have never seen Internet Explorer or Chrome fail to work correctly.  Firefox works about one out of every 3 tries, and I cannot discover any thing different about the successes or failures.

 

One new item - since making changes in one browser would show up in the other browser after a simple refresh, I decided to test if a failure would also carry over to a never-failing browser, and it did!  Changed slot count in Firefox, with failing result (number of disk slots was not correct for the new slot count), then refreshed in Chrome and sure enough the correct slot count appeared over there, but the wrong number of drive slots did also!  That indicates that there are 2 variables involved, and if they aren't both set correctly at the browser where the change is made, they are saved back to the unRAID server, then the other browser retrieves the pair of out-of-sync variables.  Hopefully, that will help find the problem?

Tried firefox (it just updated itself to the latest version), and all appears to work as should, haven't encountered yet 'your' issue ...
