Tried running extended smart test but gets interrupted by host reset. I have an extra open slot on another 5x3 cage that I will swap that drive into and try extended test again. 11/24/2017 Update on this: The one data drive is indeed toast. Replaced with a new 8tb drive and am running a parity sync/Data-rebuild now.

I checked cables all are good. Disks are on different cables. Got a smart report for disk 1. Have unreported errors.. Could this be from dropping off the array? tower-smart-20171123-0808.zip

Opened up web gui this morning to this It looks like an I/O communications problem but posting my diagnostic zip for advise from others more knowledgeable than I before I shut down. My thinking would be to stop array, un assign disk 1, start array, stop array and re assign disk 1 and let rebuild start. Then do the same for the parity drive. Or??? tower-diagnostics-20171123-0634.zip

I have been trying to delete old backups also to no avail. I have had to do 2 unclean shutdowns to get the system back to respond. Delete starts ok but after a few mins it just freezes my system. I have tried in windows but holy moly the plex docker in itself is over 30 gigs with folder after folder of junk. SSH and rmdir does not work. and krusader does not work. I am going to move everything but my backup folder off the drive I have configured and pull the drive out, shrink the array and reformat that drive. Just too many folders taking up way to much space. And with a weekly backup running since July, it is getting out of hand. If anyone reads this, I recommend to not backup your plex folder. Seems all the other dockers delete ok.

Precleared this disk once again and re-ran a smart test(short) attached is the report. It had 46 errors but now reporting 0 but uncorrected is up 2. would this driver be ok as as second parity? preclear_report_Z840RYN4_2017.09.13_08.52.44.txt Update Dead drive

At this point I am thinking of pulling another 2 disks out and then shrink the array. Run a parity check (synch) on the shrunk array. The disks I pull out transfer the files off of them to my backup and re introduce back into my main server one by one with a clean format. Does that sound like a good game plan? If disk 15 goes offline again after this, the only thing left to look at is the back plane of the Norco 5x3 drive cage.

I have done the procedure once again. This time around disk 15 fell out of array. I have replaced the psu with a 750 and also replaced all break out cables with new ones. Took all disks but the parity and cache drive off of m/b connections and running them off the adapters. Pulled disk 15 out and am transferring those files off of it to my back up array through a usb. I have four 8TB drives that have came in yesterday that I will preclear but wondering how to go about introducing those into the broken array? Introduce 1 as the missing 15 disk and let parity rebuild and then continue down the line with each one? or?

I have updated the firmware to the latest from HP. Only says V 15.10.10.00 as of April of this year. I have also ordered a new power supply 750 and breakout out cables. Now after firmware update I start Unraid back up but have not started the array. All disks are seen but parity is red x . saying "ALL DATA ON THIS DISK WILL BE ERASED WHEN ARRAY IS STARTED" that is ok but disk 12 which was the disk I replaced still has a "Device is emulated". If I start the array I assume that parity will start and I will lose the data from disk 12?

After much google and many, many different files, I have decided that this is the best I can do on my HP H220 cards.Version:15.10.10.00 (17 Apr 2017) from the HP site. I did all the changes in UEFI shell. That download is an .exe file but with 7 zip you can extract it to a folder and pull the H220_it.fw and mptsas2.rom. Put those into your bootable usb along with Shellx64.efi and sas2flash.efi . My m/b can boot into the shell. Once booted in shell, type "fs0:" well it was for me but your usb might be different. Once in FS0: type "sas2flash -list" will show you all the adapters. To be on the safe side I had taken out all but the one adapter I was flashing and had no connections to hard drives attached to it. So now I flash with "sas2flash -o -f h220_it.fw -b mptsas2.rom" and hope all goes well which it did. Try "sas2flash -list" again and now see my firmware is V15.10.10.00 . Shut down and place my other adapter in and do the same.. Done I hope.

Need some advise or help on this. Started having problems with my server. Per Johnnie.Blacks advise I am trying to upgrade the firmware of my controllers to p20. I have a launch EFI from a system device in the asrock uefi utility. I plug in my usb with the files I got from SAS 9207 . I get into the shell and dir to fs0 dir and proceed to use x64sas2.efi -listall and am greeted with image is not an application. Dunno this may/probably be over my head.

Seagate Expansion 8TB USB 3.0 sorry sale ends today

Well I ordered 2 more today since the price went down another 10 dollars. Didn't have any problems during pre-clear and mounted ok. Guess time will tell.

I saw all those errors. What confuses me is the parity disk is plugged into m/b and the other disks are running off the HP H220 controller. I guess I shall order new breakout cables, and new controller card. My goal is to shrink my array to 12 drives all 8TB. With 8 onboard ports which cards would you recommend?

Well I have followed these steps and upon start up disk14, 15 and parity went offline. 14 & 15 as unmountable and parity as red ball. All these drives are the 8TB archive drives and all have no errors on smart reports. Either all these drives suck or my unraid is dying a slow painful death. All dockers stopped, mover disabled, everything running minimal resources. I am at the moment copying files off of my old disk 12 onto another unraid system. Took out drive and hooked it up with usb connector to that machine. Looks like I may be in for a long haul if I have to do that with the other 2 disks, each with 4TB data on them. Harro.zip

running extended smart on the one that failed after reboot of disk replacement. If I do a new config. I will lose one data drive for sure correct?

Yes it has "compute" listed under the Barracuda name. I was getting excited.

I just received two more of the Seagate 8TB external expansion drives and they no longer have the archive drives in them but a Barracuda ST8000DM004 model. If my google is correct it would be this model. ST8000DM004 . And that is a great bargain for the external drive at 179.

Changing a disk out, and when I rebooted I got this off of another disk. Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... superblock read failed, offset 0, size 524288, ag 0, rval -1 fatal error -- Input/output error Ran xfs-repair -v on the disk and got no error. My short smart report ; passed and am now running an extended report. Anything else I can try? I am running testdisk on the disk I was replacing, hoping to recover the files, since I now have 2 red balled drives and only 1 parity which I have been working/ saving to get another parity. I guess when it rains it pours....a little humor since I am in TX. current.zip

Thanks for the replies. Another question: I thought I had read a long time back on KODI forum on the headless thread that you could move your addons to the headless container, restart and then you would be able to use those addons under the headless container. You would also have to adjust that in the advanced xml also. Can this still be done?

Been toying with the idea of this docker. I am wondering how the database handles a large collection? Does it bog down or crash with a large amount of movies, tv shows along with music videos and just music? Does the database actually hold the artwork or just links to the artwork in the media folders (movies, tv, music etc..)? Lastly if a large collection , how much space will be required of the docker if running in mnt/cache/appdata/ folder?

Haha...ya the server finally came out.. but then went right back in. I have been monitoring the temps since the fan replacements and it seem that the temp are holding well within specs. 30 - 40 C, When I have no one over I keep the closet door open now since the noise level is very low. So far I am very impressed and also happy with how quite these fans are.

I recently moved and had to find a place for my server. I settled for a closet off my living room for the server. . I have three Norco 5x3 cages in my server and have never modified them. So the fans in the cages sound like jet engines ramping up. LOUD. Even with my closet door shut, I could still hear the server running. Tired of that I finally pulled the fans out of the cages and went with 3 of the Coolink SWiF2-800 Quiet PC Cooling Fan 80mm Proceeded to pull the fans out of the cages and made a few blunders. If anyone is familiar with the fans in the Norco cages, you know that the fan mounting holes slide through a plastic sleeve. I broke one off on my first fan and then two on my second and just a half of one on the third.Wow..I suck. Put in put in the new fans but missed either one or 2 screws to hold the fans in on each one.Powered up the server and wow a huge difference in noise. Quit now. But with only 2 or t3 screws holding each fan, I was concerned about them moving. I pulled case apart again and took the fans back out. The new fans had come with mounting screws, so I thought I would use those but fasten the fan from the outside in. I took a 1/16 in drill and drilled through the hole in the plastic sleeve. Drilling from the inside out. I then turned the rear mount of cage over and used a 3/16 in drill to drill through my pilot hole. I then mounted the fan back I could then use the screws that came with the fan and screw from the outside of housing through to the new fan. Nice and tight. I have attached pictures.
