When you give all the parameters you know, you will see the preview of your array, and if all information is correct, you can unfold it to see its folders. After that, click Add, and the hard disks will appear in the Drive Manager. The last step is to start searching for...
When adding a parity drive, the hard drive must be the same size or bigger than any other data drive in your array. You can add up to 2 parity drives. If you have more than 6 data drives connected, I would recommend having 2 parity drives set up. Like that, if 2 drives happen to...
If you forget and enable User-Shares, then try to run fuse, it won't work (even after stopping and starting the array). If you accidentally did this, here's how to fix it. Stop the array, disable User-Shares. Remove the entire /mnt/user directory using the commandrm -rf /mnt/user...
As always, you’ll have to write the Unraid image to a USB drive before you can run the OS. The only difference this time is that you don’t need to install Unraid on a hard drive or SSD. Rather, the USB stick will act as the boot drive every time you power on the NAS. Downlo...
to NAS systems.UnRAID’s unique approach to storage makes it highly scalable. Unlike traditional RAID configurations, UnRAID utilizes a parity-based system that allows users to add drives of varying sizes to their array without any loss of data. This feature is especially beneficial for users who...
I understand how moving the docker.img would work. I just don’t like keeping persistent data in it. But when moving the docker.img into a different place, wouldnt that also persist the data on your drive arrays? Also, afaik are docker volumes meant to be persistent so this would rather...
Then I could read the drive and perform a LOCAL transfer of data at a much faster rate. What I don't know is if the Synology unit (or an add-in) can read the reiserfs / volumes from unRAID. I just want to copy the data, not load the drives into an array or anything. I know...
A dedicated drive for the UnRaid Server OS to use an "Array Device". (SSD is preferrable!) 1 SATA controller that you don't mind having allocated to the Host OS, as it will be unusable by the VM. 1 USB controller that you don't mind having allocated to the Host OS, as it will...
One of the big advantages of making that upgrade was being able to use drives larger than 2 terabytes. The way unRAID works is that the parity drive has to be as large or larger than any other drive in the array. I had delayed in adding any drives to the existing hardware for a few...
So I'm very new to unraid. I got it set up, and I tried following the space invaders tutorial on how to encrypt drives. I got a disk encrypted, but now I'm not able to add it to any of my shares, and it appears somehow I made it into a "disk share". I just want it to...
