I have just turn on syslog mirroring to flash (USB), hope that will capture more info. Cos previous logs were logged to a share folder on the ARRAY, so I guess when the ARRAY crash, the logs can't be logged

Syslog enabled.

Recently my UnRAID system has been crashing randomly. Can't find any errors in syslog. System was still working fine at 11+am then suddenly, unable to access web and SSH in at 5pm. Only task it was doing was preclearing 1 x 12TB HDD, nothing intensive was performed during this period. I have the following running (24x7): 1 x piHole 1 x Linux for torrenting 1 x Windows 2019 for DHCP services These crashes will rendered the server unresponsive: - No display output (most of the time, the system runs headless). I have tried to connect up a monitor when it crashes. but nothing shown (black screen) - Keyboard not responding (Alt+Ctrl+Del) but Caps lock lights up - web interface not accessible - SSH not accessible And after hard resetting the system, I would encountered random disks having disk errors (during auto parity checks upon array restarted) and these errors will disappear upon another reboot (I will shutdown the array and reboot the system again) without meddling with any HW connections. And sometimes 1 or 2 disks will be disabled due the errors, thus it will trigger a RAID rebuild which is ....... Attached is my diagnostic logs, hope experts can help tower-diagnostics-20230915-1749.zip

Tried to preclear my shucked 14TB WDC_WD140EDGZ, only managed to precleared once successfully. Is the drive bad (twice failed at post-read verification) ? Attached are the logs tower-smart-20220208-1934.zip tower-syslog-20220208-1142.zip

Thanks to all. The issue has been resolved. Re-do both the SATA and power cables

At which log/area did U find that it is disk4 that is give the issue ? so that I may learn how to troubleshoot the issue in the future For issue 2 & 3, how do I fix those "oversized" issue ? Do I have to recreate ?

Previously I won't have any parity check sync errors for months. But lately, after I replaced 1 x HDD (faulty) and 1 x 8087 cable (replaced cable due to UDMA CRC error count). Sync errors have been popping up. Is that a cause for concern ? For example, I did a parity check on : 24-Jan-2022, there were 766 sync errors 31-Jan-2022, there were 272 sync errors 01-Feb-2022, there were 128 sync errors I'm in the progress of my 4th parity checks, and there are still 128 sync errors Can experts please kindly advise on what I should do ? Attached is the diagnostics ZIP for your reference. By the way, in the event that I need to replace a current HDD (8/10TB) with a higher capacity HDD (14TB), what's the correct procedure ? Is it use new 14TB HDD to replace either 1 of the parity HDD, then use the replaced parity HDD as normal data HDD tower-diagnostics-20220202-2117.zip

Stop & Restart ARRAY does not "remove/clear" the disk errors. Have to reboot the whole machine. Reason for wanting to remove/clear disk errors is daily health check of array (email notification) will report as FAIL cos disk have errors.

Noted. But how do I clear away the "ERRORS" ? No way except to reboot the server ?

Attached is the SMART extended test results WDC_WD60EFRX-68MYMN1_WD-WX21D84PD64Y-20210401-2131.txt

Parity check completed without no errors

Thanks for the tip.

Noted (1st time running SMART extended test) Will just have to wait it out. Thanks

I'm running a SMART extended self-test now, but as Parity checking is in progress, it is really slow. 5 mins still 10% complete. <- is this progress speed normal ?

Hi All, 1 of the disk in my UnRAID server of 8+2 disks encountered read errors while doing a parity check (parity check still in progress at the moment. Any cause for concern ? Need HDD replacement ? Attached is the Diagnostics ZIP for your reference. Appreciate it greatly for any advice in regards to the issue encountered tower-diagnostics-20210331-0520.zip

I tried incognito mode (which means pop-up blocker disabled) also cannot, tried white list the UnRaid IP for Bitdefender also cannot.

Hi, I have these 2 minor issues which I hope someone could kindly advise on what's the problem and how to fix it: 1. The "Log" button on Menu Bar will pop-up another window, but that window is always loading, nothing ever appears (blank page). But the Tools -> System Log is working fine though. I guess these info logged in the System Log are related to me clicking on the "Log" button (a couple of times) Jul 1 07:29:51 Tower root: plugin: running: anonymous Jul 1 07:29:56 Tower root: plugin: running: anonymous Jul 1 07:29:57 Tower rc.diskinfo[14908]: killing daemon with PID [4108] Jul 1 07:29:57 Tower rc.diskinfo[14915]: process started.

For "Preclear Disks" plugin, if there is an update (under Plugins -> Installed Plugins), when I click on the update, again another window appears, but again nothing ever appears (blank page). Usually I would have to close the whole UnRaid page and re-open a new UnRaid page then navigate to the same location, it will shows that the plugin has been updated. I've tried updating other plugins, all are working fine except this 1. I have also tried removing the "Preclear Disks" plugin and re-installing it using this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gfjardim/unRAID-plugins/master/plugins/preclear.disk.plg, a window will appear but nothing is shown in the window (just blank page). I have tried waiting for more than 1 hr, nothing appears. Also same issue occurs, as in On UnRaid 6.3.5 upgraded from 6.1.9.

Help needed. My Unraid HW configuration say consist of 10 disks of 3TB. If #5 of the 10 disks failed (I've removed it) and #8 is failing (SMART errors). Can I preclear 1 new disk (replacement for #5) and copy data on #8 to say #6 (given #6 is empty) AT THE SAME TIME ? Will the "copy" data from #8 to #6 invalid the parity on the parity disk ?
