I think you might be right - I thought it might be something with the raid card configuration - if I go to card setup (alt-3 during boot up) some drives show as "JBOD" , others show as "Single". Could not find a way to reconfigure them all as JBOD, if anyone knows, feel free to chime in.

Hello Long time novice user of unraid. system has been running without any issues for better part of the last 10-15 yrs. Looking for some help from the experts on the Unraid forum. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Have two(2) 3ware 9650-12 M cards connected to most of my drives Cannot run SMARTCTL on any of my drives off the 3ware 9650 either from the command line or the the unraid Gui. ( works fine on the drives directly connected to MB) Had HD problems – one of my drives went bad, I replaced it; rebuilt it successfully from my parity drives. All good. Then one of my scsi backplanes went bad on my Norco box , have had to rejig the drives, and move some of them to internal SATA ports, and have had nothing but trouble since. Needed to rebuild my parity drives (long story) ; but now keep running into HD related issue – maybe its the SCSI card ; or some configuration on the SCSI card, or some incorrect configuration on my unraid. Wanting to check the status of the remaining drives , and found out that I cannot run smartctl and cannot run them. Help????????????????????? I also get teh following errors May 4 15:35:01 Tower kernersl: program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO May 4 15:35:01 Tower kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi20: ERROR: (0x03:0x0101): Invalid command opcode:opcode=0x80.
