Carmageddon

Yes you were correct, I tested swapping the exact cables used by the array data disk, and same kind of errors - I've started an exchange at Best Buy, they shipped a replacement disk.. What are the chances, that 1/2 brand new disks is DOA lol its 50% failure rate...

I just wanted to circle back on this one and update - after I closed up the server and put it back in place, connecting with the original cable I used before (not the really long I used while disassembled and running - its now 1000 Mbps, full duplex, mtu 1500 so all good! You are right, could be the cable plug..

ok, I did some searching and confirmed "reset" doesnt delete anything. I've tried it, but still stuck in the same issue - please see the screenshots before, and after - showing the drop down that I cant select the 2nd 12tb drive as party (the one ending at S1N), while it detects that SXML is part of the data array. New diagnostics attached as well nas-diagnostics-20250214-0207.zip

This is what scares me, will it reset the array disk and it's data? I now finished everything, closed the server and put it back on its spot - and having problems getting the parity disk to be accepted, so I guess it also has to be done via this "new configuration" - but I want to stress out, I dont want to lose the data in the array (made of a single 12tb disk)!

hmm sounds like in this case, it will reset the array and I will lose all data I just successfully finished extracting from the failing drive...

Apologies, I thought the question is generic and not specific. attached. nas-diagnostics-20250214-0112.zip

I was going to format an old 2.5" disk I had in my old nas which used to host the OS (openmediavault), and in mid-formatting procedure realized its not an SSD (`blkdiscard /dev/sdb` and `cat /sys/block/sdb/queue/rotational` confirmed it).. its been many years and I forgot what that disk was. I'll get another one but for now I cant start the array without it in it! It says Stopped. Missing pool disk. And attempted start at the popup says cache - too many wrong or missing devices Regarding that small HDD (320gb) - Ideally, I'd have Unraid OS installed into it.. but I have not found any installers, everything is USB flash only, and it seems to me no point in having it part of my array, next to the 12tb disc....lol. So not sure what to do with it. Just a side note - it seems that documentation is really lacking.. a lot of things are assumed are clear and obvious but are not.

No I have not yet. In the past (years ago) I learned that the intel nics are the only reliable ones to use on nas. So using the inferior built in nic has not even crossed my mind. i will try and report back in an hour when I get back home.

hmm yes it seems like it is not completing the download every time I try

Diagnostics attached. The cable is Cat 6, connected to a powered gigabit switch, then to the router. nas-diagnostics-20250213-1220.zip.crdownload

Hi, I am new to Unraid, currently copying stuff from failing 8tb disk to new 12tb before adding the 2nd 12 tb parity drive and looking at the features while its going through rsync. I noticed in the dashboard that the network is running only at 100mbit and not 1000. It has 2 network cards: The build in one in the motherboard I am not using (r8169), and an intel (e1000e) How do I make it use 1000mbit?
