Thank you, it works. I've reseated the cables as a temporary measure. I think the molex to SATA adapters were to blame. I'll be upgrading to a better one with more ports.

2 flash drives, one I've been using since 2021 and a newly flashed one using the tool.
Both restart upon loading the unraid selecting from the startup menu like in the video

Hello, I'd like some help with my server, it was working smoothly for a year. Yesterday, I cleaned it (just removed dust) and now it boot loops on the unraid startup/selection screen. Even the debug lights show that it boots up fine.
I'm using a Ryzen 5 3600, TUF X570 Plus Wifi, with BIOS ver 1405 while the latest is 4408. I doubt that I'd need to update my BIOS ver since all parts have been compatible since I them bought in 2020.
I've tried the following:
- cleared CMOS several times
-
reenabled several BIOS settings (CSM, SVM, fan curves, disabled fast boot)
- tried UEFI and Legacy individually and both at once
-
checked the USB drive and it's fine, files match my last backup
- also ran chkdsk on Win10, no corruption
- memtest86, passed and 0 errors, 4/4 passes (dedicated memtest not the one built-in with the unraid usb)
- flashed a new unraid usb (still doesn't work)
-
renamed "EFI-" to "EFI" in both usb drives
- it immediately restarts if boots in Legacy mode, I'm assuming this to be normal since the folder name is "EFI"
- If I press any arrow key or tab, it doesn't restart immediately but still will after I select one, regardless of whichever option I choose, even memtest
Its stable when I stay in the BIOS, but after that, the fans ramp up and slow down immediately, and it restarts.
In cases where I was able to select an option, it also took a while for it to finish loading bzroot (and bzroot-gui), then a few of the usual startup console messages pop up then it restarts.
Here's a (relatively clear) video of it: https://imgur.com/a/QPQFMHjCan anyone tell me what's wrong? Did I miss something? I'm stumped
Thanks 🙂

tried that beforehand and didn't work, and now it does? Weird.
Thankfully the files are intact.
sadly, now the parity drive is missing although it was detected by my sata hba controller on boot. Again did the shutdown and cable check, still nothing. Do I try again? -
Woke up, booted with plans to build parity
disk2 keeps giving read errors until it became unmountable
in maintenance mode, xfs_repair -n says "fatal error --i/o error"
and now it turned into the Ø array and I don't know anymore
is this a PSU problem?

11 Amps per pin is the rated maximum for the connector itself. How many drives is a more complex question, and depends on the rating of the PSU, the upstream connectors involved, wire gauge, etc.
You should try to divide your drives as evenly as possible between the available PSU leads.
Silverstone ST70F-ES230 700W, 80+ plain/bland
It has two molex lines with a 5-sata adapter (HDD, SSD, 3 HDDs) and 2-sata adapter (2 HDDs), one 2 sata line (2 HDDs) and one 2-sata line that became a failed 4-sata mod (cut too deep that it cant power drives)
Now knowing that the 5-sata adapted molex line can't handle it properly, I plan to turn it to (3 HDDs, 2 SSDs) and move disk3 to the other molex/2-sata line, whichever has the vacancy.8 minutes ago, trurl said:Still no good reason to preclear it, unless you intend to assign it to a NEW slot in an array that already has valid parity. That is the only scenario where Unraid requires a clear disk. A clear disk is all zeros and so parity remains valid when adding a clear disk to a new slot.
And if Unraid does require a clear disk (only that scenario), it will clear it if it isn't already clear.
Lesson learned, especially now that I'm using 4TB drives that reach 10 hrs preclearing or parity syncing 😭
-
Oh damn, I'll transfer that drive and plan for a larger & better PSU.
for future reference, how many drives is recommended from a molex line? -
could being at the end of a molex to 5-sata cable be the cause?

No good reason to preclear a disk with data on it, and plenty of good reasons to not do that.
Post new diagnostics.
I know, but I gave up on that data. I'll just hunt for new stuff
-
yes, replaced cables and also did -n
-
So disk3 became unmountable, I failed at xfs_repair -L (got stuck at "phase 7 format log to cycle 4"), all data was lost (byebye plex library)
Now I'm trying to preclear it. the drive only says ST4000VN008 (lacking the -2DR166 in the model) and its at 10-15MBps.
How badly did I mess up and can this still be fixed?
-
just to confirm,
the problem isn't with the parity drive, right? just disk3 being annoying?
-
Why is my Parity Sync running at ~2 MBps? I usually got 90-105 MBps before. Was adding a new drive (for 2nd parity) affecting it?
Also disk3 gave read errors after pausing parity to post this, is it related to it? -
If you mean the share's SMB User Access:
appdata : no access
photos: read/write
I'm really sorry I keep getting it wrong.
-
I might be wrong but I guess these are the array path variables...? I don't use the Photo Import Folder variable.
Dir path: /mnt/cache/appdata/photoprism
Storage Path: /mnt/user/photos
-
hello, my photoprism docker has an error that says "Storage folder "/photoprism/storage" is not writable". Using ls -lah in the terminal shows all folders as drwxrwxr-x. How do I safely change that if Docker Safe New Perms says that my photos share will not be touched?
-
It works! Thank you trurl, Squid and JorgeB! :))))))))))))))

I'm assuming that cloning a bad disk doesn't make the cloned drive bad, then disk4... I forgot to mention that its empty and also preleared.
I've actually only learned of actual backup practices this year. I used to just keep my external drives in the back of my closet, 9y.o. me saying "its the least disturbed place". The preventing me is that I'm actually still a full time student (lousy excuse but I'm in a 3rd world country)
-
The unassigned disk has no more data, successfully moved....some of which were in disk2.... I just wasn't able to unplug it because I haven't shutdown the PC yet, spun down the drives several times though.
I would say that its important to me just I'm not able to keep backups, especially 3-2-1. My experience with using internal HDDs was actually better than externals HDDs, I just went on transplanting drives and data across platforms
My currently available good disk is disk4 (1TB)
-
I no longer have any duplicates of those data unfortunately, even last week when I was still using Windows as host. (same PC btw, in case this might be relevant)
I have now attached the Diagnostics file

Hello, I'm new here, using Unraid 6.9.2. I am currently converting my PC from Windows and I would like some help moving files.
I have a used 500GB drive (disk2) precleared and added to that array 4 days ago and today it that reported "current pending sectors 1" while main->view just shows "No listing: Too many files". I plan to transfer all the contents to an empty 1TB drive (disk4) while preserving the folder structure, share & dockers assignments, etc., especially the seeding torrents I have.I have no parity set up yet since I was still in the process of moving stuff from Windows. I have confirmed some of the seeding torrents to be missing (through binhex-krusader) and several folders from across shares missing (through shares->view->location)
I was unable to use binhex-krusader to transfer since I couldn't get the disk2 mounted into the docker's config, the dropdown doesn't list it and manually typing "/mnt/disk2" doesn't work as well.
I'm terrible with CLI stuff (I'm such a noob hahaha) but I've read this page: https://wiki.unraid.net/Transferring_Files_Within_the_unRAID_Server,
and I believe that the command "cp -r /mnt/disk2 /mnt/disk4" is what I'm looking for but I'm not sure how to relink the files if linuxserver-qbittorent can't automatically do it.
I would like confirmation or a correction on the proper action to do. Attached is the downloaded SMART report of the 500GB drive:
Edit: I finally got unBALANCE to work and it reports disk2 "0 bytes" on columns SIZE, FREE and PLAN
Edit 2: Now main reports disk2 as unmountable
Edit 3: I posted in Reddit, I'm getting scared, https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/qwo8xq/safety_move_files_from_disk_with_smart_error/
Note to self: You should've mounted the larger drives first so you could have prepared a parity drive.
PCIE x1 to Type-C front panel
in Hardware
Posted
Hello, I recently swapped cases and didn't realize that it had a type-C front panel port. Pleasant surprise but my mobo (TUF X570 PLUS WIFI) doesn't have a connector for it, instead I still have the 2 PCIE x1 slots available.
So far, I've found these two that seem to be the most believable ones:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09YL8XG5D/ (ASM1042A)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B156WMGC/ (ASM3142)
I'd like to ask if any of these work well with Unraid. I've read to avoid ASM HBAs and I don't know if it also applies to other types of cards. I've also read of user who had to edit the sysconfig file, I'd rather not do that, skill issue sadly.
