  1. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. In the end I managed to get it to work with the good old adage of "turn it off and on again". Only this time instead of shutting the UPS off and on, or resetting it, I manually cut power from the battery to kill it entirely, then reconnected it. A hard reset like this fixed the issue. Thank you for these instructions, was finally able to get it to update. No UPS status, unRAID did not recognize it at all - as if it was unplugged. Cables were exactly the same, at most I might have connected it to a different USB port. Full hard reset with breaking power from the battery was the only thing to fix it.
  2. I tried updating unRAID through the plugins tab but it tries to update from a dead link: plugin: updating: unRAIDServer.plg plugin: downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.2-x86_64.zip ... failed (Invalid URL / Server error response) plugin: wget: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.2-x86_64.zip download failure (Invalid URL / Server error response) Other than the UPS and flash drive, I have one external hard drive connected to a USB3 port. I've tried the UPS in my other ports, both USB2 and USB3. When the daemon is on, I get this message every 10 mins regardless of whether it's connected or not: Sep 25 19:58:17 Tower apcupsd[6383]: Communications with UPS lost. Sep 25 20:08:18 Tower apcupsd[6383]: Communications with UPS lost. Sep 25 20:18:18 Tower apcupsd[6383]: Communications with UPS lost. I guess it was just a coincidence that it appeared when I connected my UPS after all I'll try removing the UPS battery and reconnecting it, maybe that might work. Also updating unRAID couldn't hurt, is there a way to feed it the 6.3 url to update from there?
  3. Yes, everything worked excellently before my cable management. It's only disconnecting and reconnecting that seems to have caused this. The UPS model is BX700U-FR. I googled looking for a solution with any UPS and couldn't find much, let alone with this specific model number. What do you mean by "load" here? My tower and an external hard drive are connected to the UPS and get their power through it. Should I disconnect the UPC from the wall and force my stuff to work off the battery? I only installed NUT after the problem appeared to see if it would recognize my UPS, but it didn't work. I was using unRAID's built-in UPS capabilities, so apcupsd.
  4. Hi, fellow unRAIDers! A few days ago I wanted to implement some cable management, so after safely shutting down my unRAID tower I disconnected its power plug from my UPS (APC Back-UPS 700VA) and then disconnected all my USB devices, including the UPS's USB cable. After organizing the cables and putting everything back together, I booted up unRAID and everything was working properly, including all other USB devices - however I got an alert saying "UPS Alert - Warning communications lost with UPS". I have tried fully powering down the tower, rebooting it normally, using different USB ports, using different cables, turning the UPS daemon on and off repeatedly, turning the UPS itself off and on - all to no avail. The UPS doesn't seem to appear in the device list, however I noticed that every time I connected the UPS's USB cable, I would get the following line in my syslog: Sep 25 02:58:05 Tower apcupsd[6383]: Communications with UPS lost. Disconnecting the cable gives no log entry, but connecting it does - this seems to imply that the system recognizes that the device is supposed to be a UPS, even though it doesn't appear in the device list? Very odd behaviour. I'm pretty much out of ideas now, and having the UPS work properly is really important. I would be very grateful for a point in the right direction. tower-diagnostics-20170925-0307.zip
  5. Update: I have managed to move all the content through MC without losing anything. Basic instructions for how I did this: HOW TO MOVE CONTENT BETWEEN UNRAID DRIVES 1. Open a telnet client such as PuTTY, point it to "tower". 2. Log in to your unRAID (default username is "root", no password). 3. Type "mc" without the quotes. 4. Select "/.." at the top of both columns, then go to /mnt/diskX where X is the number of the disk you want to copy from/to. 5. Use the "copy" command on the folders you want to copy to the other drive. Once it finishes copying you will have the same files on both drives. 6. Use the "delete" command to delete the old folders. This does NOT result in any data loss. UnRAID does not panic when there are dupe files (like I was afraid would happen), even when in the same directory on both drives. For example if you copy /disk1/media/file.html to /disk2/media/ and have file.html in both directories, you can delete either one safely and it will still be accessible in your shares.
  6. Is copying from /mnt/disk1/media/ to /mnt/disk5/media/ correct? What about these folders: appdata, domains, isos, system? I will just use the 4TB drive for my PC. I thought about switching to 4TB drives, but it's an unnecessary expense (in my country these "few nickels" are quite a lot of money). All the other disks in the array are 3TB so if I buy 2 4TB disks for parity I get no real benefit over 3TB drives. In detail: I currently have data spread across a 4TB drive and three 3TB drives (13TB total, just under 12TB used). I want to replace the 4TB drive with a 3TB drive so the data is spread across four 3TB drives. This way I can install two 3TB drives for parity, instead of having to install two 4TB parity drives just to gain 1TB of usable space.
  7. How is this done? The usual way of setting a parity drive and then unplugging a data drive does not apply here since the parity drive cannot be smaller than any data drive. In my case I have an array of 1x4TB and 3x3TB with just over 1TB free space. I want to replace the 4TB one with a 3TB, so that I can then add 2 more 3TB drives for parity. Is going into "mc" through telnet and copying over stuff from the 4TB drive to the other ones enough? I'm afraid that when it finishes and I remove the drive, that the data won't be recognized in my user shares.
