  1. This was it, thanks! I guess when I had moved my server last I had switched ports for my flash drive and didn't realize it Thanks so much for the help @Squid !
  2. I did try connecting the USB drive to my Mac and running fsck_msdos and Disk Utility's first aid on it and found no issues. I could read the data on it fine too.
  3. Perhaps something is going on with my boot flash drive? If I cd to /boot/ and ls -al the directories have d?????? ? ? for the info. Maybe the permissions are corrupted? And if I try to cd into /boot/previous/ for example it tells me input/output error. I also tried shutting down and using my boot flash drive in a different USB port (front port versus the back port for example) and seems like same issue.
  4. Hey there, So I'm having issues accessing my web admin or any of my shares. I've tested the ethernet cable with my laptop and verified it's working. I've connected a monitor, keyboard and mouse to my server and booted to the GUI and accessing it from there and fails too, I can access the internet from that as well. I'll attach some diagnostics, when I boot to the command line I noticed some errors that I'm not sure if they are indicating the problem that could be causing this: Starting Samba: /usr/sbin/nmbd -D /usr/sbin/smbd -D /usr/sbin/winbindd -D cat: write error: Broken pipe /usr/bin/md5sum: /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/tmux-2.7-x86_64-1.txz: Input/output error rm: cannot remove '/boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/tmux-2.7-x86_64-1.txz': No such file or directory Actually it looks like it's not saving diagnostics. An error about writing the diagnostics to the disk appears.
  5. Ah sorry brain fart, yeah that command wouldn't be available on your server. You'd need to run it locally on the SMB mount and compare to the AFP. I'd try Squid's steps first though. I can play around with this when I get home and see if I can repro too
  6. The .DS_Store files should be created on any type of volume or share (SMB or AFP, etc) so I don't think that's it. I wonder if it's getting some file system extended attribute added, though this should not change the actual hash of the file itself. Could you ssh in and inspect a bait file before mounting it on your Mac? Try running xattr /path/to/file and see what it returns and then run it again after mounting the share on your Mac.
  7. Thanks Squid! Yes moya-diagnostics were run after a reboot and done from the Web UI and the tower diagnostics were done via a shell connection when the server was in the bad state. The diagnostics-txt file was the terminal output from running diagnostics via the ssh session as root, not sure if that matters. I'll try using a different USB controller to connect the flash drive to in the meantime and if it occurs again grab more logs now that I have mcelog installed.
  8. About once a week or so I am unable to load any shares and when I check the web admin I see all my drives and shares appear to be completely missing. Rebooting from the Web UI seems to not work either and I have to run powerdown via SSH as root. I've noticed this since I setup my unRAID server a few months ago. I started my server on the latest RC builds of 6.3.x and saw this issue, I've moved to the pre-release 6.4 builds and still am seeing it. I ran the plugin check for common problems and it found a two things that maybe are causing it. Attaching some diagnose i collected via SSH when the server was in this state and one collected via the web admin after rebooting. Oh also attaching log output from when running diagnostics via SSH incase that's useful. tower-diagnostics-20170813-1046.zip moya-diagnostics-20170813-1144.zip diagnostic-log.txt
  9. I have almost the exact same scenario now. I have a Drobo with FW800 and USB 2.0 that I'm trying to migrate all it's data to my new unRAID server. I haven't used the Drobo and years but I tried connecting to my Mac and going over the network. I used both Finder and cp -Rv to copy stuff and after copying a large batch I'd come back to find it stalled out and not seeming to make any progress. I'd have to reboot the Drobo to get things to work again and I'd find that a large chunk of data that had copied over (presumably near the end of the batch) had become corrupted on the destination side. I'm scared now of copying data over and thinking things are intact when there's corruption there and wondering if anyone has any recommendations on validating the data. I could try comparing file sizes of the source to the destination but in a few small tests I did the file sizes matched but still I could see visible corruption in the destination side. Perhaps comparing a file hash?
  10. First of all thanks for the feedback, Chris and Jonathan, I will look at possibly a 4GB or 8GB config. I wanted to leave the extra headroom incase I want to try running any VMs later and I had read on other places that it was generally recommended one GB of RAM for every TB of raw storage. As for the hard drives recommendation, the price of 8TB WD Red on Newegg is $284 USD while 4TB is $140, so it works out being a lot cheaper (~$300) for the 4x 4TB vs 3x 8TB unless there's a cheaper place you might know of. Thanks again!
  11. Hey there, This is my first NAS build and I've poked around on the forums and followed some general advice from Brian on https://blog.brianmoses.net/2016/02/diy-nas-2016-edition.html. My primary use case is backup for multiple machines and also media and other project storage. I might expand that to do some light media hosting for Plex or something down the road but at the moment it's mostly just backup. MB/Embedded CPU: ASRock J3455M Intel Quad-Core Processor J3455 PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G2 Series Case: Fractal Node 804 RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series DDR3 1866 8GB x2 Controller: SuperMicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 PCI-Express 2.0 x8 SATA / SAS 8-Port Controller Card Cache Drives: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB x2 HDDs: WD Red 4TB 5400 RPM x4 Anything I'm missing? I went with embedded CPU because it seemed simple for my needs and can be passively cooled. The power supply is single rail [email protected] 650W do you think that's enough or too much for this setup? Any other general feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
