Unraid Fix common problems and advice.

[HH0718]

Let me start off by saying this post is more to distract me while my wife is in the process of getting an epidural and I have been kicked out for 30 mins.... Which is just killing me. I don't really expect much sense this could probably be figured out on my own with some time and google.... but... anyway...

 

I have had unraid running for a few months now and love it. However, I realized I didn't set it up correctly and now in the process of fixing it, I seem to have some unexpected issues.

I went from:

 

2 x 1tb parity

1 x 1tb data drive

500 nvme cache

 

To:

 

1 x 12tb parity

 

3 x 1tb data

2 x 8tb data

500 nvme cache

 

it took my system the better part of a week to get the drives zeroed and parity rebuilt.

 

However, now, it seems that my cache is constantly at 91% utilization and the mover is not making too much progress.

I run:

radarr

sonarr

plex

nzb-get

unifi - controller

video-unifi

tautulli

nginxproxymanager

 

They have been working without ANY issues before making upgrading the drives.

I also downloaded common fixes and started to learn how to move files after the recommendations were applied.

 

but I'm still having errors I didn't have before.

Would anyone mind taking a quick glance at my log (no pun intended) and see if there are any obvious things I missed?

 

Thanks all.l

Your syslog is full of error messages regarding the nvme-drive and btrfs.

Might be a case for @johnnie.black

I'll have to check it. I know the system warns that the temp is high but, I bought a special fan and I read the temps can go way higher without any issues.

I'll check to see what else it's complaining about.

Thanks for your reply.

Holy cow... I have no idea what these errors are... But there's a bunch of them. LIKE A LOT.

Also, some of your shares are currently not on the drives I would expect looking at the cache setting.

 

e.g. appdate is set to "only" but files are on cache, disk 1, 2 & 4

The Share "D-------s" is set to "no" but data is only on the cache drive.

Yup that is something I am working on fixing. I am learning how to properly fix it with dolphin.

There's some hardware problem with the NVMe device, it could be board, the device or just some incompatibility between both.

You should not need to use Dolphin.     Setting the correct Use Cache setting for the shares and then running mover is the recommended way to fix this.    To get files to move from array to cache you need Use Cache=Prefer.    To get files to move from cache to array you need Use Cache=Yes.   Turning on the help in the GUI will help make the reason clearer.
