Thank you, that's super helpful. I am using multiple sata power connectors from molex. Perhaps it's time to get a more appropriate psu. I really appreciate the follow up. That actually makes a bit of sense for what i've been noticing.

Roger, thank you.

Thanks for that. I've tried reseating cables to no effect, and tried the same cables (both power and sata) with drives that are working. When swapping the drives which get the cables from the non-functioning parity drive work fine, while the parity drive remains disabled. I don't believe this is a connection issue based on that testing. Is there anything else that this could be? I have a replacement drive ready to go so I can send this one back as broken, i just don't think it is.

Hi all, my parity drive has just dropped off. I've tried reconnecting sata and power as i've seen that cause dramas in the past, but there are no SMART errors reported, I have zero idea why the drive isn't reporting. It's only a handful of months old, I feel it's unlikely it just died out of the blue. Any troubleshooting advice is super welcome. Diags attached. vision-diagnostics-20241218-1807.zip

That's a shame, but thanks so much all the same, I really appreciate your help.

Last time running this from the GUI took more than 12 hours, but the initial run of that command after restarting in maint mode is showing the exact same after a few mins. From what I've read elsewhere, typically that command takes a few mins to run.

Diags after a reboot vision-diagnostics-20241212-2320.zip

this is the output of the filesystem check dialog btw (i can't paste it into the forum response as text, the cloudflare proxy on my work laptop blocks the submission as potential scripting lol). It never gets past Phase 1 though and ultimately says: Sorry, could not find valid secondary superblock Exiting now. unraid feedback.txt

From the Disk Settings page > Check Filesystem Status > Check Button (with the default -n argument removed, no arguments)

no clear outcome from that (see post above). Does that mean start the array in normal mode, or perform another step, or i'm boned?

new diag since the repairs finished vision-diagnostics-20241212-1358.zip

Both disks exited with what appears to be the same result to my eyes. phase 1 -find and verify superblock couldn't identify superblock - not enough secondary superblocks with matching geometry I'm unsure if this means I should attempt to restart the array in normal mode, or perform another action. No clear outcome to my eyes. I'd really appreciate some input from the clever folk.

Thanks so much for this. How long does this process normally take? (they are 2tb drives at about 75% capacity). Both repair processes have been running for nearly 12 hours. I'm wondering if something is borked. Both say: Phase 1 - find and verify superblock couldn't verify primary superblock - not enough secondary superblocks with matching geometry !!! attempting to find secondary superblock ... Ahh i'm just being impatient. I'm sure it'll finish.

thanks @bmartino1, That's fantastic advice. I shut down and reseated all the sata cables coming from the HBA and that's fixed the logging issue, and there doesn't immediately seem to be errors on the parity drive any further. As I suspected, there appears to have been multiple concurrent issues though. There are still 2 unmountable disks though which confuses me. Another diagnostic after reseating the cables if it helps. vision-diagnostics-20241211-1051.zip

I keep having drive failures, on brand new disks. I'm at a loss. Between drives, and the log occasionally just losing its mind and filling up, breaking the system, Between reboots, seizures and drive failures something is really wrong. I really need some help. vision-diagnostics-20241211-1015.zip
