This also solved issues I was having on my Plex server. It is an x570 Asus board with the Adaptec 71605, and if I tried anything more than simply streaming movies from Plex, something would lock up and all drives would go offline. So like if I would try to clear a new disk, while the system was running normally, it was a 90%chance the clear would fail, or the system would say multiple drives had read errors. All I did yesterday was change the PCIE slot in BIOS to PCIE RAID MODE and from Auto to Gen3, and the system has been clearing a new drive overnight perfectly, and at triple the speed it was just a couple days ago when it would fail and crash. Mine is offsite at my office so dealing a a crash is a royal PITA. So far so good, 20+ hrs of trouble free 'working' - fingers crossed - knock on wood. Thank You for the tip.

So as my title says I just came across this which has me quite stumped. The server has been up and running for years, same drives, I have swapped GPU for a little better Plex transcoding, added a drive before, very uneventful. But this time. I bought 2 new Ironwolf 10TB drives to add to give me some breathing room. Shut the system down, since I was at the server, I booted to GUI mode, all drives showed but Unraid told me that I had Unraid Plus and needed to upgrade to Pro to add the 2 new drives which would put this system at 13 drives. Upgraded from GUI boot, closed the windows and added the drives to the array which then tells you upon starting the array the new data disks will be cleared/or formatted/ I don't recall the wording specifically. So I started the array, ready for the 2 new drives to start clearing, which they did, but then I noticed my other 7 drives, the entire array, shows, Unmountable: Unsupported Partition Parity seems to show fine, cache seems to show fine as I can start the VM's located strictly on cache. But the main array - Nothing, Nada. I have rebooted, several tries with the same result. Even physically removing the new drives and booting up.... Unmountable: Unsupported Partition Below is just a screenshot of the entire disk layout, and banging my head against a keyboard. Hoping someone much, much, brighter can point me to my wrong doing so I can buy them a beer or 6 and hopefully get the Array back on-line. Well - thanks in advance if any has thought or suggests.

Not 100% atm. I can look deeper in to this hopefully later. All ports are black, labeled consecutively, 6 are bunched together and 2 seperate so quite possible there are seperate controllers. I never had to know that much, in-depth, about the board previously but I am sure I will get to know it a bit better sometime this or next week.

Yeah I need to re-check that, fairly confident that I had all options removed except for the USB boot drive. Possible it is a failed drive, it is brand new just out of the package, I'll look into BIOS settings then try to get that drive in to another computer this week to check it out.

They are all on-board ports

Very odd issue I just ran in to this past weekend. No dead drives but I purchased a new larger drive to replace one of the older originals that are still in the system. My Originals were 5 - 4TB HGST drives, 4-5 years ago or so, doing great just getting full'er. I have added a 12TB IronWolf as a Parity drive, then a 10 TB IronWolf and an 8TB IronWolf over the last year. I went to pull the most crowded 4TB drive out, swap in a 10TB to let the system rebuild but it would never even fully post. I have fast booting off all of the non-essential, and just the Board logo comes up and hangs, indefinitely. Never even getting to the UnRaid loader screen. If I put the 4TB back in, the computer POSTS. Try swapping a different 4TB drive with the new 10TB, same, computer won't POST. Put back the older drive and.... yep... everything boots right up. I initially thought, maybe the PSU.... it had 2 cables with 4 SATA power connectors.... so 2 cables, 8 SATA drives. I wanted a modular PSU so I ended up ordering a 100W higher PSU fully modular and the SATA cables have 3 connectors power cable. NOPE. Same issue. Pull any of the older 4TB drives and replace with a 10, and no POST'ing. I am at a bit of a wall until I can figure this out. Nothing has changed for quite some time. BIOS updated. Etc. Just a "simple" drive swap is turning in to quite the head scratcher. Help please oh great and powerful friends... I am typically fairly capable of quite the tough troubleshooting but this has be stumped. System is: ASRock x570m Pro4 3900X 64GB Corsair 3200 non-rgb RAM 2 - 1TB nVME cache 1 - Sammy USB 32gb Boot 8- varying sized SATA drives 1- Dual 10Gb PCIe card , I can get more detailed information if needed All of this has been this exact setup for well over a year. Well it had 7 SATA drives, then I added an 8th ( a 10TB) which filled all of my on-board connectors maybe 8 months ago. Which is now why I am swapping drives versus adding more. It is a microcase so 8 SATA's is my physical limit for this case. I appreciate the help / wisdom / insight y'all might bring, and I am definitely buying someone a beer, or some kind of pat on the back gift for helping out with this.

Interested in this as well. I saw the Jitsi packages a day or two ago and am just a little unsure on how to move forward to get a full functioning install. + 1 Demand Credit 😆 If anyone can help with an installation guide.
