Lancer Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I have done couple changes to my Unraid service last week: 1. Since I set the "appdate" share as cache only, so I delete the empty folder "/appdate" in /mnt/disk1 by "rm -rf" 2. I mounted a new disk for the downloads, after checked in forum, I think mover cannot apply on files that already in disks, so I moved older downloads in disk1 to disk2 by "mv -f" After I done those changes, my unraid service crashed 1~2 times a day, first I thought this may caused by my docker or VM, but the service keep crashing after I stoped the docker and VM. And one of my disks was disabled by system during the checking yesterday. But verified in my desktop, this disk is working fine but the service still disable this disk. So I will re-install the Unraid OS tonight, and I may need some help for future use: 1. Can I use command line like "rm" or "mv" to manage my files in Unraid. (Will this cause error in the parity? As the parity won't know if I deleted some file in disk) 2. What's the best way to manage files in disks like delete the file in disk1 or move something in disk1 to disk2? Thanks in advance😀 Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yes, you can manage files manually. if Unraid disables a disk then this means that a write to it failed for some reason, so you probably need to pin down the cause. It might just be a cabling issue, but it could be something else. Quote Link to comment
Energen Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 You can also use the krusader docker for a more visual file manager. Quote Link to comment

Thanks in advance😀 Your crashing and disabled drive has nothing to with those commands. What do you mean "unraid service"? What exactly crashed? With regards to the disk, it would be a good idea to attach Diagnostics (Tools -> Diagnostics -> attach zip file to your next post) so someone can have a look at your disk SMART. A disk can drop offline with no actual damage to the disk itself (e.g. cable problem) but it doesn't mean the write intended to the disk is complete. Hence a write error hence disk is disabled.

My bad, I will download the diagnostics before seeking help next time. Thank you for the help, now I'm comfortable to use command lines to manage. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 What about your disabled disk? You must take care of that immediately. Post your diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
mika91 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hi, Just migrate from OMV to Unraid I have 3 data disks, one parity and 2 SSD cache disks. Now I wonder how parity works when moving data between disks, using CLI (mv /mnt/disk1/stuff/* /mnt/disk2/stuff/). Do I need to launch a job to re-compute the parity (as snapraid), or it's done automatically ?(even if I don't mv/copy through /mnt/user(0) folders) Quote Link to comment
