That was it. I updated to 6.6.6 and the issue is gone. Thanks!

The power went out at my house, and unfortunately the battery in the UPS that I have my Unraid server plugged in to is defective or has gone bad. When the power came back on, I turned the server back on, and in the Web UI it said it wanted to run a parity check. I did so, and it found no errors. However, no shares show up anymore in the web UI and when I go to make a new share, I get a blank white webpage. I have since safely shut down the server and rebooted it, but all the shares are still gone. I have attached the tower diagnostics. Can anyone help me get the shares back? Running Unraid 6.5.3. Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20181218-2232.zip

Is it normal for there to be both a 'user' and 'user0' folder in the /mnt directory?

Hello, To answer some of your questions: I didn't try to change the password over SSH; I only did it in the WebUI I have never moved files between a disk share and a user share. I do not have disk shares enabled, but when working in SSH I did go into a couple disk shares and do an "ls" command. Then I went out of the disk share and into /mnt/user/movies.iso and issued the find command. I'm perplexed as to how the "find and sort" commands could have caused this, but because I rebooted the server I don't have a complete listing of the variants of the find commands I attempted. I understand that UnRaid's parity system can restore files on one failed disk. Right now my array consists of a 6 TB parity disk and two 3 TB data disks. Would it be possible to 'pretend' that one of the data disks was bad, and have UnRaid restore some of the files onto one of the disks? I realize I'd have to backup all of my data before doing this. I'm just wondering because it last ran a parity check a few weeks ago. Or, is this not possible as the parity is updated in real-time?

I am using UnRAID version 6.3.5. Today, I was working on listing files on my server via SSH. Root is the only currently configured SSH account (which is bad, I know) so I logged in as root. I executed commands just to produce a list of files, like this: find . -type f -iname "*.iso" -printf "%f\n" | sort | tee isos.txt I also performed other server maintenance actions such as: Changed root password and password for user 'nick' Stopped the array, rebooted, and restarted the array My problem is that every ISO file in a share that I have, is now 0 kb. All 200+ files. I have backups of only about half of these files. Is there anything I can do to recover them? I know that it is likely a command I inadvertently entered that caused this, but I looked back through my SSH history and didn't find any "mv" or "rm" commands. If you need any log information, let me know. Thanks!

Thanks. I had a share set to Use Cache: Prefer when I meant to set it to just: Yes. It is better now.

I'm new to Unraid and I love it so far. I have a quick question about the mover script. My 500 GB cache drive is getting full; it looks like the mover script runs during the night time (or when I click the button of course) but in the log, I can see it fails. Of course I wouldn't want it to move stuff like VM images or docker files that should always just stay on the cache drive. Does this just mean one of my shares is configured improperly, or how would I fix this so that the mover script moves what it needs to move onto the array?

Thanks @Tuftuf and @bjp999 for your responses. Yes, with my lifestyle as it is right now, I don't have a lot of time to play games. I have five young kids, and many projects around the house including finishing our basement into an apartment. Mostly I'll be using a Windows VM to run remote access software to work from home, so not much gaming or intense GPU usage. I'm still weighing my options, considering a Ryzen 5 1600 system, or something Xeon E5 V2 based (1650v2 or 2670v2) with a single-socket motherboard.

Thanks. I have been following that thread.

Hello, I am excited to finally be building an Unraid server. I have built many PCs before, both for families and friends and professionally. The planned uses for the server are: Plex server in a Docker (Supporting up to 2 simultaneous clients, and recording 2-4 simultaneous OTA TV channels via Plex DVR or HdHomerun DVR) Windows 10 VM for occasional use (will not play games, just for office software, web browsing, and working from home) Ubuntu VM in the future Future NVR (security camera) recording for cameras around my house Other dockers for file synchonization and backup (such as resilio/bittorrent sync) Occasional ripping and transcoding using Handbrake for DVD/Blu-Ray backup I would like to build the system one of two ways, based on my budget: Ryzen 5 1600 / Ryzen 7 1700, 16 GB DDR4, M.2 PCIe SSD as cache drive/appdata/vm storage Used Xeon E5 V2 with 6-10 cores, 16 GB DDR3 ECC, SATA3 SSD as cache drive/appdata/vm storage Given these two options, which would you choose and why? I like the more modern hardware that Ryzen and associated motherboards offer, including DDR4 and the faster M.2 PCIe SSD interface. On the other hand, I like the additional cores that some Xeon CPUs offer, and the reliability and cost-effectiveness of using used DDR3 ECC RAM on a Xeon platform. Thanks for your advice!

From an email newsletter from newegg, I found the samsung or seagate 750 GB SATA 2 OEM drives for $99.99 if you use a promo code: Samsung promo code: EMCAGBHBG Seagate promo code: EMCAGBHBF

Doing the -ma with syslinux helped. It's up and running now. Thanks.

Orb: I have the same motherboard, and was thinking of using it to run Unraid as a starter system. With a Sandisk cruzer micro 512mb, it wouldn't boot no matter what BIOS option I tried. Did you have to use the usb 1.1 hub and PQI 1.1 usb stick to get it to boot? I was reading up on your system in another thread, that's why I'm asking.
