I made a booboo - I think I messed up with New Config


Recommended Posts

 /mnt/disks is where the Unassigned Devices plugin mounts devices.   It should normally only show drives that are not assigned to the array.   However you can also sometimes get a disk showing there if a drive temporarily drops offline and then comes back online with a different device id.  Unraid does not support hot-swap so does not recognise the changed id refers to a drive that previously had a different id.

Okay so i obviously don't know what the fudge i'm doing still...

so i loaded up MC navigated to the disks directory and the disk1 directory .... and went to copy by using F5 but it doesn't seem to do anything. I tested in another directory using F8 to delete and that worked like a chanp... what am i doing wrong?26823376_ScreenShot2019-05-31at1_37_30PM.thumb.png.1fc459e8f7611500fffb33e1dd71e52e.png

So I SSH'd in and copied the directories ... when i came back to it finished the directory sizes don't match.... the drive on the left is the 2TB and ther drive on the right is the 8TB.

 

Should I just delete the music and videos off the 8tb and try to recopy them? or is this good enough that when i put back in the parity drive and start the array that unraid will figure out what's missing from where?

No.

 

Pls quit MC, then at prompt type " rsync -av -n /mnt/disks/ST2000....RQHS/ /mnt/disk1/ ", then post the result here. ( -n means dryrun, no any writing will perform )

 

From compare the size, only several hundred MB different.

Wait a min

 

Pls type " rsync -ah --stats --max-delete=100 --delete-before --force -n /mnt/disks/ST2000....RQHS/ /mnt/disk1/ "

 

Paste text would fine ( not photo )

 

here ya go....

So that mean 94.41GB need to transfer for sync from UD to Disk1, if you OK just remove " -n " then it will do the sync.

 

94.41GB won't take much time.

perfect - thanks.... so just: "rsync -av /mnt/disks/ST2000VN000-1H3164_W1H2RQHS/ /mnt/disk1/"

OK

 

But best and safe as below

rsync -ah --stats --max-delete=200 --delete-before --force /mnt/disks/ST2000VN000-1H3164_W1H2RQHS/ /mnt/disk1/

 

Then you can excute again and again to confirm created / deleted / transferred was 0, that means sync done.

sweet - that did the trick. Okay - now i've gotta wait on my new sata card and then when I get everything else confirmed i'll post here before i restart the array just to make sure i've fixed all the problems.

 

One other quick question - would it be advisable at some point to move the data on disk 3 (which is almost full) to disk 1 now that it is 8TB? If so - how would i go about doing that? Since I'd want to keep disk 3 in the array but just give it more space.

 I will set left 100GB space on each disks, because the largest file was bluray ISO, so free this amount would enough and avoid no space error occurred during file placement.

You need to open the ST2000XXXXX folder, but in some cases the function keys don't work correctly when using the built-in terminal, if that's the case use Putty.

okay guys - thanks so much for your help up until this point. Soooo ... i think i'm ready to fireup the server ... here's the status page...

also - fyi - i've started getting more of those UDMA errors that I thought was cable/card connected ... johnnie helped me get that equipment swapped out - however, now i'm getting errors on ones that are connected directly to the mobo AND when they were in other locations, were not showing errors (nor were the drives in the existing slots showing errors). Is it possible this is just a symptom of all the changes going on? Is there a way to double check or test these things otherwise?2021874182_ScreenShot2019-06-10at2_59_09PM.thumb.png.0cb7c3bd6e642cdf7b42649512e4194c.png

 

 

Disk 1: 199 UDMA CRC error count 0x000a 200 200 000 Old age Always Never 3522

this is the new 8TB data drive. When i first inserted this drive, i was doing a preclear on both the parity drive and this drive at the same time. However, I realized (after reading) that these were problematic so i stopped the preclear on Drive 1 and then ran it alone and from the begining after that.... the errrors have always showed up.


Disk 2: 199    UDMA CRC error count    0x0032    200    001    000    Old age    Always    Never    331

Disk 3: 199    UDMA CRC error count    0x0032    200    196    000    Old age    Always    Never    2567

Disk 5: 199    UDMA CRC error count    0x003e    200    199    000    Old age    Always    Never    8 (this is the one plugged into the new card with the new cables).

 

So a) can i fire this up again and start the parity sync-data rebuild?

b) what do i do about these errrors?

CRC errors never reset to zero. - they only accumulate.     If you click on the orange icon on the dashboard then you can use the Acknowledge option and Unraid will then only tell you if the value changes.   Occasional CRC errors are not a problem, but if they occur regularity they indicate a connection problem that is probably adversely affecting performance.

Cool! does it look like i'm good to go to start this thing back up again then? i'm assuming it won't lose any of my data after all the prep but just want to make sure.

Yep, double check parity is correctly assigned, as any data on the disk assigned as parity will be deleted, also if after array start any of the data disks comes up as unmountable, don't format, post diags.
