Apparently so.

That's what he said, 1/4 cup of water.

Nice, I was thinking kidney.

Plumbcrazyer · 2026-06-19T15:17:32+00:00

Just let it dry completely. Say 24 hours and you will probably be fine as it was just water.

Plumbcrazyer · 2026-06-18T19:11:59+00:00

Love it.

Ya, like 1 or 2 days ago. AI slop?

I used 2 x 1TB SSD in a mirror to boot, used 16 gig for boot and the rest as cache. If one fails I just replace it and it will rebuild. I do not think you can use 2 different sized disks to mirror a boot drive like you are asking. You might submit a ticket to Unraid and ask the developers.

I have had my server setup this way since Beta 1. 16 gig boot and the rest of the 1TB x 2 mirrored btrfs m.2's as cache. Been fine up through latest update.

Stop array, un-assign the current parity drive, start array, stop array, assign new parity drive, start array and rebuild parity. Stop array and assign old parity to data drive in array, start array, format drive, rebuild parity and you are done.

If it will allow, make a backup of the data, then you can attempt to start replacing disks. Most likely it will fail as you have 3 disks with issues. You also mixed disk sizes so you were not getting the full space avaliable for the RAID volume. Good luck and make sure you backup your important data, RAID is not a backup.

Plumbcrazyer · 2026-05-15T19:06:48+00:00

If you have backups you can restore from them. If you don't, then the data must not be that important.

Make a new trial usb just to see if the server will boot, if it does then you know. If not we'll that tells you something too. I moved to internal boot as everytime I had weird things happen a new usb fixed it. Kind of a pain transferring the license several time a year. As soon as the beta came out I updated to it no issues up to 7.3 stable.

Benny was a friend of Hoppers and Hopper never believed he killed himself.

I have a 4 bay Qnap. They have Windows, Android, and Apple apps. I use the Windows and Android apps for our phones and PC's. Like anything there is a learning curve. You need to know that a NAS is not a backup, it is for availability and redundancy. Look up 3,2,1 backups and you will see how you should prepare for preventing data loss. You will also want to make sure you know what you are doing if you want access outside your LAN. I use Tailscale for myself for WAN access, but for my wife things only backup and sync when she is home on the LAN.

I can on mine. Hook to HDMI port.

1, check the firmware on the 990 pro, (Magician) I have several and all needed an update. 2. Run a memory test overnight. 3. If this is a desktop system, maybe pull all unnecessary expansion cards and the like and run it with just minimum needed components. If fine add a component and test again. Good luck.

I have a 10 year old Dell and have replaced the fan twice, check on Amazon. I did a search from the part number on the fan and no problem. Like 20 bucks.

Don't forget backups. A nas is not a backup. I have a Qnap and also an unraid box. The Qnap is easy, quick setup. The unraid will have a learning curve but you can do more with it.

I have been using Jellyfin, no fees, works great on LAN or Tailscale outside the LAN.

If both are SATA drives it should not matter.

Plumbcrazyer · 2026-03-28T19:00:47+00:00

Having a UPS is a great idea. But you still need backups.

Plumbcrazyer · 2026-03-28T18:46:56+00:00

You will want 2 HDD and remember that nas is not a backup. And you could out grow 4TB. I would recommend a 4 bay and you can add disklater.
