October 28, 201015 yr Hi guys! Hoping that someone can help me. Having not long bought this excellent piece of software I have been migrating all my data to it from NTFS drives over the network from another computer and slowly removing formatting and then adding them to unRAID. Now my problem started when I installed SNAP the unRAID box crashed 10 minutes later and after a couple of reboots one of the 500GB hard-drives died. So I purchased a new 1TB HD and turned the box off until it arrived. I installed the HD and started the "parity-swap" and it successfully setup the new parity drive and recovered the data of the lost 500GB HD so all was good! Then the real problem,at this point all the user-share settings were blank with just the share names in the boxes, I was trying to edit the settings of the user shares but it refused to save, so I rebooted the box using the reboot button in the webGUI and when it came back on it thought that I needed to do the parity-swap again, a moment of stupidity hit and I started the parity swap thinking that there was an error and it needed to do it again (as it told me) and now its showing the 500GB hd as unformatted.... I then rebooted it and its showing all the correct user-share settings from before the old HD died (not the same as after it had done paroty-swap the first time) Hoping someone could explain what I have done, why the user settings wouldn't save etc etc. Thank you to anyone who reads this far Regards

If it has file-system corruption it will not be writable. Stop the array, power down, move the flash drive to a window's PC and run scandisk/chkdisk on it. Other than that, attach a syslog to your next post for additional analysis. Instructions under troubleshooting in the wiki. Joe L.
October 28, 201015 yr Author Sure! Thanks for the reply. I have scanned the flash drive and it came up with no errors. Here is the last syslog. logs.zip
October 29, 201015 yr According to this in your syslog, disk2 has some corruption needing repair: Oct 28 11:27:26 tower kernel: REISERFS warning: reiserfs-5090 is_tree_node: node level 39947 does not match to the expected one 3 Oct 28 11:27:26 tower kernel: REISERFS error (device md2): vs-5150 search_by_key: invalid format found in block 2842263. Fsck? Oct 28 11:27:26 tower kernel: REISERFS (device md2): Remounting filesystem read-only Oct 28 11:27:26 tower kernel: REISERFS error (device md2): vs-13070 reiserfs_read_locked_inode: i/o failure occurred trying to find stat data of [1 2 0x0 SD] It was mounted as read-only to prevent further corruption.

October 30, 201015 yr Author Oh dear. Umm... I may have run disk-check-rebuild-file-system thing. I think that I may have interpreted my problems incorrectly according to other forum posts. How much worse is my situation now that it was before? Sorry
