I now have a new PSU and replacement disk 5 installed. Disk 3 cloned as per the instructions above. I have posted diagnostics below but appears to all be working well so I will now rebuild disk 5, then thinking I will do extended SMART tests on all my disks and check they are okay. Thank you very much for your help! unraid-diagnostics-20231002-0921.zip

I'll have to borrow the one from my desktop tomorrow and see how that goes.

Currently trying to complete the clone using ddrescue. My array is is stopped and all the disks are unmounted so I can clone disk 3 to another disk of the same size. However, while doing so my parity drive (which was fine when I restarted unRAID and first stopped the array) suddenly dropped out of the array, now shows a "missing disk" in the parity spot and the parity drive is in unassigned devices, unable to be assigned to the array and having a heap of read errors. Meanwhile the new disk I am attempting to clone Disk3 too is dropping in and out of the unassigned devices. I could accept bad luck with two drives (which are older), but surely the parity drive (which is near new) hasn't given up the ghost too? unraid-diagnostics-20230929-2359.zip

Thanks that would be great!

I've removed disk5 and changed cables on disk3and it still says unmountable. Although it did run a short-SMART test (attached). At this stage I can accept if the drive is probably dead - but I want to be sure that's all it is before I pop more drives in as two went in quick succession (not caused by other hardware or faults) Thanks for your help unraid-smart-20230928-1920 (1).zip unraid-diagnostics-20230928-1930.zip

Hi all, A couple of days ago, I had a disk failure - disk 5 was disabled. No problem, installed a new drive and went to rebuild, but it was estimated to take 180+ days. I checked my disk logs and found disk 3 was coming up with a bunch of IO errors. I cancelled that and changed out the cables and checked connections for Disk 3 in case I bumped something when I put the new drive in. Now disk 3 is active but states "unmountable/ no file system". I've done a few restarts while trying a few other things with the dead disk to see if data was recoverable and Disk 3 will sometimes mount and be readable (but with a bunch of IO errors and very slow read rates) and now is back to "unmountable". My plan is to replace the two failed disks with two new ones arriving tomorrow and reconfigure (with lost data) but after a couple of read errors on a third disk, I want to know if these issues are likely from something else (LSI card or PSU), my cancelling the rebuild when it was running slow or just bad luck and two drives failed at once. I have attached two diagnostics - first one is from the initial failure. Second one is from just now with the second disk issues (first failed disk is not mounted). unraid-diagnostics-first.zip unraid-diagnostics-second.zip

Hi, Thanks for the reply I found the issue, one of the data cables wasn't all the way in - the clip didn't latch. Rebuilt and all is well now. Thanks for the heads up on the pool - I will look into it

Hi All, Still fairly new here. I was just editing my media library (cleaning up duplicates) when I received a warning that a newly added disk has failed. I have 2 questions - 1 - How do I determine what caused the disk failure - from what I can see the SMART results indicate it is "ok" 2 - How do I proceed? The process I have determined so far appears to be: Stop array Unassign disabled disk Start array with disabled disk unassigned Stop array Reassign disabled disk Start array to begin rebuild Is this correct? unraid-diagnostics-20230812-2355.zip unraid-smart-20230813-0025.zip

Cheers, Thanks again for your help

Thanks, I have done this - afterwards all the data was lost but the drive mountable again. I'm not so worried about the data on the drive - just not sure what I did wrong to prevent it from happening later down the track

Hi all, Complete noob here and slowly getting my head around setting up my UNRAID server. I have just added a new SAS drive to my array and copied a bunch of videos to it last night. I noticed the HDD was getting a bit warmer than I would like (44-45deg), so this morning, after the data was copied, I shut down the server and installed a couple more case fans. Note - the HDD didn't overheat overnight as I directed an external fan on it while the copy finished and it came down to 30ish degrees. When I restarted UNRAID after the fan install, I have the following warning: UNMOUNTABLE: WRONG OR NO FILE SYSTEM XFS next to the newly installed drive. I have looked around the forums and it seems there are a few causes - I'm not so much worried about the data (I haven't deleted the original source yet), but I am concerned later down the track, I will have similar issues because I'm not quite sure what went wrong. My main priority is just to get the array back up and working quickly and preventing any further issues once I have more data on it. I have completed a disk check and attached that and the diagnostics. Apologies the diagnostics were saved after a restart because it did not dawn on me to grab the diagnostics before I try fix it with a reboot. As always, thanks in advance for your help Disk2_Check.txtunraid-diagnostics-20230325-1221.zip

Thanks heaps for that - I have found the other threads about this now. Thanks again, your help is much appreciated

Hi all, I have just installed an LSI SAS 9212 with a SAS drive. It was supposed to come flashed to IT mode - but was not, so I have now flashed it. However, when I check in the UNRAID GUI, I cannot add it to a pool or see it as an unassigned device to format it - but it is recognised in the system devices. Where should I start to sort this?
