Does anyone have any more advice? It says its reconstructing or whatever, writes to the disks and reads from the other disks, but it shows the two disks as needing to be formatted? So is it rebuilding the data or re-calculating parity? :'(

With dual parity and only 2 missing data drives it should be possible to start. The screenshot in the OP is too small. Try another screenshot. Sorry, I thought they were clickable.

Thank you for the reply! I have not formatted or anything. When I change the new disks to blank it says the array cannot be started. Unassigned Devices shows one as needing to be formatted and the other as XFS. But these are the new drives that have not yet had the data recovered from parity... The interesting thing is that when the rebuild was taking place and the disks showing as needing to be formatted Unraid was writing to the new disks and reading from all the others which is correct for a rebuild. But why would they show as needing to be formatted and the data not being available? The total size of the array according to unraid has gone down by the sum of the two new disks

The array has dropped in size by 8TB, it has definitely messed up. The first time I started the rebuild speed dropped so low it was gonna take 800 days to complete. I canceled the rebuild rebooted and then started it again and it said they needed to be formatted. Am I screwed?

Hi all thank you for taking the time to read this post. UPDATE: I have fixed the original problem, but it seems now that another disk has shown up as needing to be formatted I fixed that one and now a different one is showing as needing to be formatted. I have had two drives fail on my system. I have dual parity so replaced the failed drives with new ones. The rebuild is taking place right now and says it has 6 hours left, but the two disks that are being rebuilt are showing up as needing formatting. Is this correct? I'm worried once it has finished the rebuild in 6 hours that the new disks will be blank and parity will be valid for two blank disk. That's 8TB of files that could be lost. Is this how it's supposed to look?

Having the same problem on 6.2.0-beta23

Amazing thanks. Because it was intermittent for me I think this is the most likely answer. I have installed Windows 5 or more times and it would BSOD at different times every time. But it's possible it was because I was installing drivers in different order. I would be interested in hearing if this helps anyone else. Thank you for all the replies. I'm glad that someone picked this thread back up a few months after it was started.

Sorry I didn't see this reply. I never did get it working

It doesn't show up in the device list. It's as though it doesn't see it at all. I may have to try connecting it via wired connection and go from there. I'll look into trying this. I've ran into problems trying to pass through my usb 3.0 expansion card, though that may be more of a driver issue than anything. If its wireless (I didnt know) then you will have to passthrough the receiver (Blutooth or whatever) and then pair it in the OS. If its bluetooth then it wont show the controller as a unique device.

Thank you very much, I'll try it

Thats a real shame, I think I may look for another motherboard that has an extra PCIe slot or two and sell this one on. What do you think is the best way of finding a mobo that plays nice with IOMMU groups? I have tried the only combinations I can with ACS disabled and they are still grouped. It seems to be intermittent even now, I am thinking it has something to do with traffic on the SAS cards?

The SAS card slots are too big for the other slots. Why is it that the ACS Override isn't working? I thought it was for situations just like this? Its frustrating as I spent ages choosing this hardware (I don't build PCs very often so my knowledge is always out of date) and I still managed to mess it up. Of all the things I researched IOMMU grouping was not one of them

Thanks for the reply I have moved the GPU into slot 2 and put the non-raid cards in 1 and 3.

Does it show up in the devices section in tools? You might have to set it manually rather than using the GUI. (I have limited knowledge I'm probably wrong)

Hey all. I have just completed a new server re-build, using a i7 4790k, Z97 Gaming 5, Nvidia 960 GTX and 2x Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 and 29TB of WD and Seagate disks. Have been rocking Unraid since Febuary 2011 so I'm really excited to see it come so far in that time. The mobo has 3 PCIe x16 slots, I have the GTX in the top one and the two SAS cards in the other two. One of the main reasons for this setup was for some gaming in a Windows 10 VM however I am having issues with it. The first one being that this board groups the IOMMU so I had to enable ACS Override this seems to work at first. However I am getting varied results not very consistent it seems... The first few days of using the VM was fine, I played an hour of games and all was good. I updated the graphics drivers and then it blue screened and wouldn't boot up. The initial error on the first blue screen is: video tdr failure nvlddmkm.sys Then on the reboot system thread exception not handled The original Windows 10 machine that I setup that worked great for days and let me install and play CSGO and Cities now just bluescreen loops with the same error and will eventually go into system repair: system thread exception not handled I have installed a total of 3 different windows 10s with different settings: All of these have worked fine until I installed the Nvidia drivers now they do as follows: 1. i440fx-2.3 / SeaBIOS / Bootloop (The one that worked for a bit but no doesn't) 2. q35-2.3 / SeaBIOS / Bootloop 3. OVMF / i440fx-2.3 / Boots into windows 10 with a scrambled screen and then reboots 10 seconds later All with 100GB storage on an SSD attached directly to the MOBO, 6GB RAM and VIRBR0 One of them will boot loop a few times and eventually enter Windows and stay up, cant remember which one its either 1 or 2. This was all done with fresh copies of Windows 10 which all work fine until I install the Nvidia drivers and reboot. If at any point I change the Graphics Card to VNC it will boot up and run fine with no issues.

Looks awesome! Cant wait! Could you not create a small plugin for Unraid that would notify via Pushover or something like that? Save having a relay server.

Dream case! Where abouts are you? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Thanks. Got it sorted. Working perfectly. Watied a year te get this working!

Hi there. Thank you very much for the post. Do you have an alternative for those that do not have UnMenu? I have installed it and installed java but it didn't work. Likewise why I tried to install Java manually (Linux novice). Thanks in advance.

I have read this is a current fix for the Web Server: Edit simpleFeatures.web.server-1.0.11-noarch-1.plg Replace all occurences (there should be 3 instances) of sqlite-3.7.14.1-i486-1.txz with sqlite-3.7.17-i486-1.txz Replace (there should be 1 instance) 433769b1cd27b59667a34295184356e3 with 60f75216d98dc6910f74eeef232421d7 Copy simpleFeatures.web.server-1.0.11-noarch-1.plg /boot/plugins/ Installplg /boot/plugins/simpleFeatures.web.server-1.0.11-noarch-1.plg I've not tested it myself

Another SIL3114 has just arrived and after installing it, I am still getting the same problem. Its only recognising the first 12 drives. There are no options in in either of the SIL3114 bios other than RAID ones. Ideas please? Thanks

Thank you for the reply! I have disconnected the other one and I still couldn't get a menu. Pressed CTRL+S and F4 but nothing. I have bought another SIL3114 4 port as this was my last slot anyway so can use that instead. But it would still be good to get it working for when I use up those. Any suggestions as to why the card doesn't say anything about loading a menu? Thanks!

Brilliant! Thank you wise one! Will go and have a look now. EDIT: I cant seem to find an option for that. I have a x2 port SIL3132 and a 4 port SIL3114. Where would I find the setting? In the SIL 3114 there is no option in the "RAID menu" and the 3132 doesn't have a menu...

Hi there! I have an ASUS P7P55 Mother board with: CPU: Intel® CoreTM i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz - 3.066 GHz Cache: 128 kB Memory: 8 GB - 1333 MHz and when I went to add a new drive the other day it wouldn't boot. Long and short of it was that when the new drive was connected the flash drive wouldn't show. I removed the new drive and there it was again. As it recognised the USB drive as a HD that and the other 11 hard drives seem to be using up al the "Slots" on the MB. I didn't know that M/Bs had limits? I was hoping to keep going till I filled the case! Sad times indeed! Any help appreciated? Regards, Steve

That looks sweet Raj! Is that under a table? Isn't it a bit noisy?
