NewDisplayName Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Hey, so i rebuild my server (MB and added RAM) While doin so i was multiple times restarting server adding things and testing and so on. At some point i might have startet the array without a disk (i guess cable got loose). I would suggest adding some sort of "ARE YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANT TO START THE ARRAY WITH DISK(S) MISSING" when clicking start array. - or a checkbox. I was on mobile and i didnt see that there was a disk missing... Edited November 30, 2018 by nuhll Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I added a confirmation checkbox before starting the array when a disk is missing. Available in next version. 2 Quote Link to comment

bonienl Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Made another update which adds a confirmation checkbox when a cache disk is missing. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks, I feel that's important especially since if autostart is enable the array would still autostart with a cache member missing, unlike an array disk. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Ah, my update addresses a missing cache device when the array is stopped and the user tries to start thru the GUI. It requires an update to emhttp to prevent autostart when a cache device is missing. Something only @limetech can do. Quote Link to comment

I suspected that, hope Tom can change that when possible, even with single device cache there can be issues, for example if the user is using the default /mnt/user paths for the docker and libvirt images and they are on cache, if the array starts without it new images will be created on the array disks and can then cause confusion, but mostly for multiple devices cache it can cause issues with the pool.

Yes we can fix that. This will be included in a larger change that also addresses this one: 1 Quote Link to comment

Just noticed there's a bug here, with v6.6.6 Start button is not inhibited and still works and the array starts without clicking the checkbox. Quote Link to comment
