October 27, 201510 yr I cant access any of the video files. recent upgrade from 5? to 6.1.3, right after upgrade all of the video files were missing from there folders so I did the recovery script through puddy. Now I can't access the Media folder. I do have a lost and found folder available. In windows says says access denied. When I run New Permissions I get the error on my server screen "cannot read directory 'mnt/disk1/Media' :Input/output error". Im about to do a pre clear on disk one unless anyone has an answer. Thanks syslog.txt
October 27, 201510 yr Community Expert OK. I just happened to take the trouble to look for your other posts. It would have been a lot better and given us more context if you had just continued one of the other 2 threads. You now have a total of only 3 posts, all about this, each in a separate thread, and you didn't actually respond to my request for additional information. This new thread doesn't mention that you probably overwrote your data with parity. I assume when you say "recover script" you mean reiserfsck. What command did you type exactly? If you do have a lost and found folder then possibly something was recovered. Please post a screenshot of Main, and also go to Tools - Diagnostics and post the complete diagnostic zip.
October 27, 201510 yr Author the diagnostic is attached here is a screen shot, would you like another diagnostic download? I'm currently running Check Filesystem Status. reiserfsck 3.6.24. I'm not sure about putting a data disk in parity but I think it happened. Not sure the command I used to recover the lost data.
October 27, 201510 yr Author yes it looks like all the files are there. need to go back through and rename them
October 27, 201510 yr Community Expert No diagnostic attached. Also screenshot looks like it was done with a camera, is incomplete and mostly useless. I was hoping to see what unRAID thought about your filesystems. There is no way simply upgrading would have caused any issues with your data. Sounds like you may have gotten something back at least.
October 27, 201510 yr Author ok here is the zip file try this Thank you tower-diagnostics-20151027-1444.zip
October 28, 201510 yr Author ok so everything checked out. no problems on any of my disk. still can't access mnt/disk1/Media'. Anyone help. attach most recent diagnostic. im green all the way parity check is done. tower-diagnostics-20151028-0407.zip
October 28, 201510 yr Community Expert The screen shot shows that you are running in Maintenance mode. In that mode you cannot access any of the files on the disks (unless you know how to mount and access disks from the Linux command line level). You need to stop the array and then restart in normal mode to be able to access the files.
October 28, 201510 yr Community Expert From telnet or console, what do you get with ls -lah /mnt/disk1 and ls -lah /mnt/disk2
October 28, 201510 yr Author telnet: ~# ls -lah /mnt/disk1 no total 0 drwxrwxrwx 6 nobody users 136 Oct 26 16:43 ./ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 140 Oct 28 03:59 ../ drwxrwxrwx+ 3 nobody users 80 Mar 3 2015 Media/ drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody users 48 Oct 19 08:10 lost+found/ # ls -lah /mnt/disk2 /bin/ls: /mnt/disk1/Media: Input/output error total 1.3M drwxrwxrwx 6 nobody users 136 Feb 1 2015 ./ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 140 Oct 28 03:59 ../ drwxrwxrwx 11 nobody users 288 Oct 14 23:12 Media/ drwxrwxrwx 403 nobody users 1.3M Oct 19 10:54 lost+found/

October 28, 201510 yr Author should I re run check? Or just pull disk one out reformat? what do you think. Thanks for the help
October 28, 201510 yr Community Expert should I re run check? Or just pull disk one out reformat? what do you think. Thanks for the help If the data isn't important you could do that. You need to get unRAID to format it though. If your parity is currently valid, what you could do is stop the array, change the filesystem to XFS, start the array, and unRAID will format it to XFS while maintaining parity. Then if you would rather it be reiserFS instead, you can stop, change filesystem to reiserFS, start and unRAID will format it to reiserFS while maintaining parity. If instead, you remove the drive from the array and preclear it, you will need to rebuild parity before adding it back.
October 28, 201510 yr Author ok got it, preclear is already running. so when its done ill pull it from the the system and check parity. thank you
October 29, 201510 yr Community Expert ok got it, preclear is already running. so when its done ill pull it from the the system and check parity. thank you Checking parity after you have removed a drive is not possible. If you reduce the number of drives you will have to rebuild parity. No reason to wait on the preclear to finish. You can rebuild parity at the same time. A parity check is reading existing parity and comparing to parity calculated from reading all the data drives, and then possibly writing corrections to parity if it is a correcting parity check. A parity sync (rebuild) is calculating parity from reading all the data drives, and writing the calculated parity. Keeping the terminology straight will prevent misunderstandings in the future.
October 29, 201510 yr Author Ok thanks for setting me straight. Still a noob. I'll get that started. Always appreciate the advice.
