Thanks johnnie, will get right on it.

Another reboot required. Mysteriously I have 3 more disks appearing with CRC Count Errors?! Help requested. unbalance.log FCPsyslog_tail.txt syslog.txt clnasty-diagnostics-20190524-0850.zip

Upgraded from 6.6.7 to 6.7 no probs. A big thank you. I was having issues with my unRAID these past 2 months (under another post) and wanted to turn on Fixed Common Problems' Troubleshooting mode. After the upgrade, this new message appeared: LOOKING FOR TROUBLESHOOTING MODE? On unRaid 6.7+ it has been removed, and you should instead configure the built-in syslog server to save to the flash drive via Settings - Syslog Server. I have set this up as shown. I can't see any logs appearing in the the 'local syslog folder'. I don't have a 'Remote syslog server'. Can you please confirm my settings? Your advice is, as usual, much appreciated. Regards. cL

Since my last post, the system has rebooted 3 times. I missed the Fix Common Problems troubleshooting logs. Got this finally. The most recent one was after 1146h, and after a reboot, the latest diagnostic file 1322h. Note that my cache SSD has a 'creeping' CRC error count, now at 384. It came up over the last 2 months from about 200. Not sure if this can call the server to 'hang'. Any advice provided is greatly appreciated. cL clnasty-diagnostics-20190512-1146.zip clnasty-diagnostics-20190512-1322.zip FCPsyslog_tail.txt

Thanks Squid. Done. Will report back. 👌

The last two days, my unRAID server went 'dark' on me twice, overnight. The hardware is on but I wasn't able to access on webgui, on the console, it's blank too, no prompt. After reboot, it came back on. I have the diag attached. The first time I cancelled parity check because I had finished rebuilding a disk (Disk 6). (Note: Disk 6 is an older disk that had a legacy CRC count 2 that did not get not get worse after preclear & included back into the array. This info may not be the cause but including it just in case.) After this second time, I am allowing the parity check to continue. Whilst I continue monitoring the system and allowing the parity check to continue, should I be running any commands to log system performance so that I can capture the latest activity if it goes 'dark' again? Read something about a 'tail command', would this capture this activity info & how do I run this? Thank you in advance for your advice. clnasty-diagnostics-20190407-0926.zip

I'd close this thread with grateful thanks. The SATA cables appear to be the culprit. My friend told me to flash the firmware for the Samsung SSD and the problem would go away. I might try that.

2 SATA cables replaced with new ones, with new replacement disk for Disk 6, precleared, waiting for the previous Disk 6 to be precleared, I will format and install into the slot. Note that cache drive's CRC error count number is still creeping up. I note that it's 185 today. I will record this later in the week. Hope to close the PC case and this item.

Thanks johnnie, I will have to dig into the cables to do this. Appreciate your quick response as usual.

Hi there, my system was fine one moment and overnight, Disk 6 (4TB) failed. I tried to Pre-clear it in Unassigned Devices and it failed. There's a red cross on it and it appeared in the Unassigned Devices tab. I then shutdown, re-plug the power and SATA cables, the startup again. Still the same. I have attached the logs. The hard disk is fairly new. It is most disconcerting. I have attached two sets of diag files one today, and one two days ago. Can I reuse the 4TB disk? Appreciate you assistance.

And thanks limetech as well. cheers.

I have tried reseating the card numerous times. D.O.A is the best answer. I checked for a replacement on eBay and they cost $70+, a lot more expensive than an 8 port one. Nvm. Let’s close this one. Appreciate johnnie for the advice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hi johnnie, please advise if you see anything from the diagnostics. Cheers. cL

Ok I found out I was using a very old email id for the account. Thanks trurl for the lead, otherwise I would never have solved this problem. I have now recovered my password!!! Thanks a lot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks trurl, I can’t login into the forum using the PC but can only go via Tapatalk Pro on my iPhone. I use Facebook credentials on Tapatalk but on the unRAID forum, I cannot use both my email ids, and not able to use Facebook credentials. It’s frustrating. But thanks for putting up my diagnostics file. So relieved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Added new IOCrest Marvell9215 4-port SATA PCI-E card but it was not detected after bootup. This is confirmed to be a compatible card with unRAID. I have drives connected to it but yet to be preclear. In Unassigned Devices they were not detected. What should I do next? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

OMG, it worked! it just booted up straight off the BiOS! Thanks!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

... server reboots... is it related to power? Get a UPS and force a graceful shutdown but this may not resolve your problem directly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks, will be doing that tmrw. I got the M1015.zip for my LSI SAS9220-8i card. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks. Will do more reading. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Unfortunately my mobo doesn’t have UEFI option. It’s a ASRock-880GM-LE. Any other option? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks johnnie.black for the response, the board BIOS sequence was set to the USB as 1st boot device, followed by 2nd boot device set to “disabled” for the Hard Drives, although this was not reflected in this screen shot. I’ll try your second method. I googled this on the net, would this be the correct steps to erase LSI Boot BIOS? https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/lsi-9207-8i-can-i-erase-just-the-bios-leave-the-fw.60861/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

NAS now cannot boot through to the unRAID boot sequence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I get this when I click Ctrl-C to start LSI Configuration Utility. If I do not do this, it boots to this message “Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and Press a key”. Please point me to what I need to do next?
