trurl Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Do you know how your disks were assigned? Quote Link to comment
Eviltoon Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Call of my disk are a sign as followed .parity, data ,or disk ,and cash Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Do you know which specific disk was assigned to each specific slot? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 If you accidentally assign a data disk to the parity slot its data will be overwritten by parity. That is the most likely result if you do it wrong. 4 hours ago, Eviltoon said: I forgot to backup my Flash drive Do you mean you don't have a recent backup, or do you mean you NEVER got a backup of flash?

trurl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Other possible information that might help are diagnostics or syslogs that you might have saved, or screenshots of Main that you might have saved. It might also be possible to deduce which disks must be parity or cache. If one of your disks is larger than any of the others then that would obviously have to be the parity disk. If any of your disks are SSDs then those were (or should have been) cache. Do you know how your cache pool was configured? Single cache disk or multiple? If we can eliminate the cache drives then all other disks could be assigned as data and none as parity so parity wouldn't be able to overwrite any data. Then we could probably tell which disk was parity since it doesn't mount. Please don't do anything without further advice. Quote Link to comment
Eviltoon Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 I never got a backup. and I know what my hard drive are I labeled them Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Do you mean you know exactly which disk is parity, which is disk1, ..., which are cache? Quote Link to comment
Eviltoon Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 I have labeled all of my hard drive. I have two cache drive and one parity drive Quote Link to comment
Eviltoon Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 yes I do Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Well, you should be able to assign your disks just as they were and not lose any data that was on the disks. And if your data is still there, then you will still have your user shares, because the user shares are just the top level folders on all disks. But you won't have any of the settings you made for those user shares, so they will all have default settings. You also won't have any of your other settings, so you would have to do them all again. If you had any dockers then you won't have any of their templates, but if you can set them up again exactly as they were then their appdata should be fine since that is on your disks.

Eviltoon Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 ok. how do I got my registration key again Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Do you have a copy of your old .key file? That is required to get your license transferred to a new flash drive using the automated process. Otherwise you will have to contact Limetech and give them whatever information they need to verify you have purchased a license. Quote Link to comment
Eviltoon Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 I have the email with the key I believe Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If you have the .key file then put it on your new install on your new flash in the config folder and then you can go to Tools - Registration and get a new .key for your new flash and blacklist the old .key. Quote Link to comment

This isn't a CA problem. 🙂 While I could replicate the identical error you saw, I did it by forcing the system (I deleted the referenced file docker.cfg) However, after my wee further investigation, the rest of the docker system (ie: Settings - Docker to simply re-enable the service and have it create the file) went haywire. This file *always* exists on the flash drive regardless if docker has ever been enabled or not. (A reboot recreates it) What I'm surmising is that you updated CA, and then right after that your flash drive had problems (probably "bread" errors in the syslog). At that point, everything in the GUI would pretty much get messed up one way or another. Quote Link to comment
