Oh, that's good to know. Thank you.

That's good to know, thank you. When I want to replace my PCIe/SATA card with one that has more than 2 SATA ports, the hardware ID will be different, right? Would I then lose all the data from the two connected drives, even when i disabled VMs prior, because unraid thinks it has lost connection to the sata controller?

Thank you for the quick response Yeah, due to the Fix Common Problems plugin, I noticed this right after a restart, before I moved the PCIe card to a different slot, everything was okay. Btw., I didn't move the PCIe -> SATA card yesterday but today. (I mixed something up) I "fixed" it by removing the card (SATA Controller) from "Other PCI Devices:". After that, there was an error message in the disk log, something along the lines of the controller/disk not supporting hot swap. Then I restarted Unraid, and the SATA controller from the PCIe card was no longer visible under "Other PCI Devices:". Yeah I see haha. Could have ended bad. But isn't that a huge problem? What if it had happened to me when two or more HDDs were connected to the controller? Shouldn't Unraid recognize the controller and the hard drives when the PCIe card has changed slots? And why was the card then automatically assigned to my VM without me passing through the IOMMU group (I didn't even thought that was possible lol)? Thank you! I will then cancel the smart test (in my opinion, it's very unlikely that it's due to the HDD) and follow the instructions.

Hey, Today, unfortunately, I encountered the message "DEVICE IS DISABLED, CONTENTS EMULATED." It seems highly unlikely that the hard drive or the cable is at fault, as both are only about two months old. I've initiated an extended SMART test, but it looks like it will take over 30+ hours to complete for the hard drive. My assumption is that the hard drive was disabled due to a bug. However, I'm not certain, which is why I'm posting in this forum and not the report bugs one. In recent days, as I've been experimenting with OPNsense and VMs, I've frequently reseated my PCIe cards. Just yesterday, I moved a PCIe -> SATA card (http://tinyurl.com/2482fvxk), which only had the now-disabled hard drive connected, to a different PCIe slot. Additionally, I noticed that the card appeared under "Other PCI Devices:" in my Windows VM, with a checkmark next to it, even though I had never passed through the IOMMU group of the SATA controller. My suspicion is that the slot currently occupied by the PCIe -> SATA card was previously used by a NIC or USB PCIe card that was assigned to the VM. The diagnostic files attached were unfortunately captured after a restart, but idk, they might still be helpful. - What should my next steps be? - Should I cancel the test and start rebuilding? - Since the array had been started in the meantime, the data is definitely no longer synchronized. Do I need to create a new configuration under (Tools -> New Config), assign the hard drives as before, and then Unraid will rebuild the drive? Henrik unraidserver-diagnostics-20240214-1501.zip
