Puzzling Fix Common Problems Alert

Unraid 6.8.3

 

This pops up in alerts.

 

"Fix Common Problems - Tower: 08-06-2020 12:43

Errors have been found with your server (Tower).
Investigate at Settings / User Utilities / Fix Common Problems"

 

So I do so, and...

 

"Share Media has disk7 set in its included disk settingsdisk7 is not defined / installed in the array. This will cause errors when writing to the array. Fix it here:

NOTE: Because of how the UI works, disk7 will not appear in on this page. You will need to make a change (any change), then revert the change and hit apply to fix this issue"

 

This is not the case; Share Media only includes disks 1 to 6.

 

I recently rebuilt my array with newer, fewer, larger capacity drives, as my old one was littered with lots of smaller ones that were getting on a bit. None of my shares include a disk 7 and parity checks out fine. Need I be concerned, and if so, what should I do about it (short of adding a disk 7 to the array - which I suppose I could do)?

 

Thanks for any advice.

Have you tried doing what it suggested to do?

Attach your system diagnostics to your next port (obtained via Tools -> Diagnostics to your next post so that we can see the configuration information for your server.

Thx for the quick responses.

No. I could add an extra disk to the array; I do have two precleareds sitting in reserve. Though I am wondering why it is being asked for, as didn't I create it to include a seventh disk.

Please see included attachment.

Just do what the message says to do

shareInclude="disk1,disk2,disk3,disk4,disk5,disk6,disk7"

You had a disk7 installed at one point, set up the share, then removed the disk without changing the setting.  For the most troublefree experience, fix it.

Odd, it doesn’t show as ticked as an included disk in any of my shares. Parity checks out as valid; wouldn’t a missing disk corrupt the parity data?

Anyhow, I am where I am; is the suggested course of action that I should add a disk 7, create a new array that now includes the disk, tick it to be included in the desired shares and then rebuild parity?

No. You should do what it says.

On the share settings for that share, uncheck one of the includes, recheck it, then hit apply.

Colour me thick. Thanks for highlighting that. Doing what it says only works if I take in what is said after the big bold bit that says NOTE. Feeling a bit sheepish. Nonetheless, thanks all for your patience and forbearance.

Resolved.
