My Unraid GUI has started being unresponsive this evening.. (6.12.4) I've been working with nginx & cloudflare config and it ground to a halt - It seemed to be fixed after a restart but the system log was flooded with entries like: Oct 8 01:09:01 KBNAS nginx: 2023/10/08 01:09:01 [alert] 11885#11885: worker process 18538 exited on signal 6 - before I started the container! I'm happy to try to look for any commonalities that might give us a reproducible-on-demand scenario 👍

I bought an HP ML310e as an upgrade to my old solid HP Gen7 NL40.. It came with the onboard B120i controller which I use for my main unraid Array.. No issues.. It also had an HP 420 card, so I bought a used 5.25" 4-bay 2.5" IcyDock housing and cabling.. but it wouldn't 'see' the drives...Unless I used a direct SATA connection.... 😫 I dug around a little and learned about the HBA mode... then found this guide which resolved the issue - allowing me to expand my unraid drive capacity to 8 and use SSD cache disks... THANK YOU rmp5s! 🤘

After changing my Parity drive, as expected, I got 'Fix common problems' flagging my HGST 8TB disk with 'write cache disabled on parity' But, I'm getting this: /dev: setting drive write-caching to 1 (on) HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setcache) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device I've tried it after this; smartctl -s wcache-sct,ata,p /dev/sdb The behaviour did not change. ______________UNTIL I STOPPED THE ARRAY FIRST!

Thanks so much for posting this! It's answered the question on my 8TB HGST disk. Scrutiny actually provided this info too.. (I guess this drive is also missing from the smartctl db!) I now know it's pointless to do any deep scans of the disk.. despite already having precleared it prior to Parity-Sync.. I guess the error is not catastrophic and the disk isn't going to die any time soon.. I bought the disk, used, off Amazon, so I'm waiting to hear what they say against the 'returns available for 1 yr' policy.. Wish me luck! Kev

Please please can this be added - I'm just about to splash out on better hardware to use VM's more with my UNRaid set up. Snapshots are one of 'THE' benefits of VM management. 🙏
