comet424 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 hi I confused installed unraid and installed the btrfs file system as I read its supposed to be better then XFS I moved all my files there … now when I try to use plex no files work if I manually go in there from the shares.. cant play any videos... I cant load my family photos hoping once I copy back to a windows NTFS drive the files wont be ruined.. but what is going on here Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 is there a file checker for btrfs system plex doesn't like MKV files yet it worked before I went to a btfs system now my xbox or windows says doesn't have the right codec or so Quote Link to comment
gubbgnutten Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 How did you move the files? Have you checked the size of the files after the move? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 No one else has ever reported symptoms like those described, so it almost certainly means that there is something else going on. At this point it is not clear what that might be. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 I wouldn't be able to check size.. since I was moving 12TB of data from various NTFS drives in windows some seem to work some don't.. very frustrating is there a checker or a scanner.. and is there a defrag program Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 ah ok maybe ill try a reformat of unraid and remount drives... maybe that fix it.. I cant till Wednesday im doing a preclear disks.. on 2 12TB gold wd drives.. and running the scan 3 times takes 7.5 days and power has been going out so good thing I on battery backup but its never big enough.. so ill try a reboot as I know when I making the mappings for plex server when you click done and its processing and if it fails like it has a few times.. it uninstalls plex from the docker and I gotta reinstall plex.. so maybe a fresh install will fix it fingers crossed Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Very unlikely btrfs is the problem, and if it is, i.e. so many corrupt files there's something very wrong with your server, but you can easily check, if corruption on any file is detected you'll get an i/o error and it will be logged in the syslog, you can also run a scrub on the disk(s).

comet424 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 ah ok probably cuz it hasn't been rebooted in 5 days either after playing with vms and installing plex and it crash's and uninstalls itself automatically when you set map container paths happened 3 times.. but the scrubbing what that exactly do.. I guess ill wait till tues wed when the 12tb drives are done there preclear I don't wanna mess it up and ill look for log file Quote Link to comment
pwm Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 4 minutes ago, comet424 said: but the scrubbing what that exactly do The scrubbing is btrfs computing checksums of all file data and all meta data and compare with the checksums that btrfs have stored on the disk. Note that scrubbing will not find any errors if you have a bad network card and got corrupt files because of transfer errors between Windows and unRAID - scrub will just verify that the disk can reproduce the data that was earlier written to it.

comet424 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 ah ok.. well ill run this scrubber then in a few days.. also is it better then to build a computer that can handle ecc ram then.. I been using my Asus Rog gaming computers as unraid servers.. but use the regular unbuffered non ecc ram Quote Link to comment
