Thanks for your comments, much appreciated✌️

So... if the lspci command says that the HBA card link speed is "downgraded" it would indicate that the card itself is capable of higher link speeds and the issue is not with the HBA card but with the motherboard? Would there be any point to get a Z390 board (as I want to keep the CPU and MEM modules the same) to get rid of the PCIe 1.0 x4 bottleneck? I have 7 drives connected to HBA card currently. If I add the 8th drive the speed of each drive would drop even more? As the 1.5GB/s throughput gets divided between all drives.

I tried Auto and also to force it into Gen3. lspci command still gives the identical output. Motherboard and HBA card both have the latest BIOS. I have tried resetting both also.

Sorry, edited the previous post. I have "ASRock B365M Phantom Gaming 4" motherboard. https://pg.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B365M Phantom Gaming 4/index.asp#Specification HBA card is in PCIe x4 slot (named PCIE3, the very bottom one) as it does not work in the x16 slot. Both M.2 slots have NVMe installed also.

"LnkSta: Speed 2.5GT/s (downgraded), Width x4 (downgraded)" Does that mean my motherboard doesn't have enough lanes?

How was the 8x425MB/s achieved on 9300-8i? According to spec the card has 12Gb/s throughput only, meaning 1.5GB/s. The 1.5GB/s limit I also experience on my system: Where am I bottlenecking or do I misunderstand something?

Thank you! Removing the empty "tv" and "downloads" paths worked. But not sure why the sonarr docker update went belly up the first place... Could be related that I previously had updated Unraid from 6.12.6 to 6.12.8?

Hi, Update to the latest stable failed and now cannot even install it from the scratch. Any ideas?

Yes, makes sense. Anyway.. thank you for helping out. Seems to be sorted for now at least.

I was running the same server/hardware on the latest Ubuntu Server the last 2 years (before switching over to Unraid) and had a few power cuts also during that time period and no issues with disks mounting after or anything like that. Of course I had no array or parity etc. Just separate disks and formatted in ext4 and full of data files. I suspect that could it have been because I was copying files (writing into the array) when the power cut happened? I will keep an eye on that disk and I will be swapping out smaller disks for bigger ones in the future anyway... So I might swap that one soon just to be on the safe side.

That drive is connected to: LSI/Avago/Broadcom SAS 9300-8i HBA PCIe 3.0 Just to add... Power cut happened while I was copying files from unassigned disk into the array. Maybe that's why it wasn't mountable after powering back up? That's my server: - Intel Core i5-9600K 9th Gen Coffee Lake - Cooler Master Hyper H412R - ASRock B365M Phantom Gaming 4 - Crucial 32GB DDR4 RAM 2666MHz PC4-21300 CL19 - LSI/Avago/Broadcom SAS 9300-8i HBA PCIe 3.0 - Kingston DataTraveler Kyson 32GB USB 3.2 Flash Drive (Unraid) - 112TB HDD storage (data array) - 2×18TB HDD (parity array) - 2×Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB (cache pool) - Seasonic CORE GC 650W 80 PLUS Gold - 3×120mm BeQuiet! Pure Wings 2 PWM [intake] - 2×80mm BeQuiet! Pure Wings 2 PWM [exhaust] - Logic Case SC-415A 4U rackmount - CyberPower BRICs LCD Series UPS 1000VA 600W svalbard-diagnostics-20220219-1137.zip

Thank you for the help. All seems good:

I had just bought a new 1000VA UPS and it was not connected yet. 😔 It's not gonna happen again. Got my new UPS connected now.

I had another power cut again now, during the rebuild 🤬 Unbelievable! I will keep the server powered off until the electricity supply issues have been sorted out in my area. I will update this topic here later.

I re-assigned the drive and looks like it's rebuilding now. Is that correct?

I unassigned the drive, started the array and looks like this now: Is this how it should look and what would be the next step? Thank you for helping out.

I just had a power cut and after I booted the server back up, I have one disk with: "Unmountable: Unsupported partition layout" What is the best way to solve this so I wouldn't lose any data? PS: I'm new to Unraid, just got my server up 2 weeks ago.

I followed a guide to update the firmware on the LSI 9300-8i card and ran into an obstacle. I cleared the flash with "sas3flash.efi -o -e 7" which may have been unnecessary. Now when I try to flash the newest firmware I'm getting the attached error message. Any ideas how to proceed? edit: SOLVED. Used a newer megarec.exe that recognizes the 3008 chip to clear the card. Reflashed in UEFI shell with the latest fw and rom.
