December 18, 201510 yr I rip my movies regularly as I buy them to put them on my media server, however, when I transfer them from my PC to the server, the transfer hangs up. I use file explorer and teracopy. Both get hungup and say that the network resource is missing during the transfer. Please advise.
December 18, 201510 yr Community Expert Go to Tools - Diagnostics and post your complete diagnostics zip.
December 18, 201510 yr Community Expert Thanks....attachment says it's too large to attach tho. Another thing to try is to go to Tools, System Log and click on "Download" at the header at the top of the log. That will give you a smaller file to try and upload.

December 18, 201510 yr Mostly worked. The syslog.txt was an empty file for some reason, but syslog-2.txt told the story You've got corruption on disk 8 Stop the array, restart it in maintenance mode, then run the file system checks on disk #8

SMART status is normal currently

SMART status is normal currently If you had never performed the file system checks, then rebuilding a corrupted drive onto a new drive is merely going to transfer the corruption to the other. Corruption has nothing to do SMART status.
December 18, 201510 yr Author Why is this so difficult? I thought unraid was supposed to be easy...the Unraid told me the drive was bad, so I replaced it and and it re-built itself....I thought the whole purpose of parity and all was to rebuild and fix these corruptions... I am getting to be quite disappointed with Unraid...I also ready lost 5TB due to corruption on another drive...

If the data on the drive in question is pooched, there's nothing a parity system (or a traditional raid system running reiserfs or xfs or ntfs, etc) can do about it.

Rebuilding from parity can only reproduce a disk bit-for-bit, so if the data is bad, including the "data" that is maintained for the filesystem (folders and files and where they are scattered on the disk, for example) then bad data is what you rebuild.
December 18, 201510 yr Author I am so frustrated. What are my next steps...if there is a step-by-step guide...please link me it. I don't want to lose my data obviously.
December 18, 201510 yr Author Check Disk Filesystems 67 found corruptions can be fixed only when running with --rebuild-tree so I run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree? Now....how does one know when a drive is bad due to data corruption or a hardware issue?

Now....how does one know when a drive is bad due to data corruption or a hardware issue? unRaid will only redball a drive due to a write failure (hardware). Corruptions however can happen for a number of reasons not necessarily related to a hardware failure - surge along the power lines, brownouts / power failures during write operations, etc. SMART will tell you if the drive is physically bad or not.

And a disabled drive is not necessarily a bad drive. But a disabled drive must be rebuilt. If it is not bad you can rebuild it to itself.
December 20, 201510 yr Author Did it...more crap in the lost+found that I can't figure out what it is...3 more TB of info lost. Plenty ticked off.... What are the common tricks to stay ahead of these corruptions? Also...should I do another parity check?
December 20, 201510 yr Community Expert That's odd...I knew disk 8 was corrupted...I already replaced the disk with a new one last week. SMART status is normal currently What did you do with the old disk? Did you just set it aside?
December 20, 201510 yr Author I think it is bad. Whenever unraid unmounts a drive, I assume it is bad. I took the drive out and plugged into my PC to run the manufacturer's software analysis on it in order to get an RMA. I plugged it in my external HDD toaster and it wouldn't even register on my PC.
December 20, 201510 yr Community Expert ... Whenever unraid unmounts a drive, I assume it is bad... Possibly in this case but in general not a correct assumption.
December 20, 201510 yr Author I guess I can't do anything right then...I am getting corruptions alot more frequently and I have no idea why...
December 20, 201510 yr Community Expert In addition to Check Disk Filesystems another good wiki to read is What do I do if I get a red X next to a hard disk?
