  1. Thank you for your help! I have unassigned parity 2 and restarted the array, it is rebuilding Disk4 and I am optimistic that this will be successful. Once it is done (and I get a new 6TB in) I will readd my Parity2 removing the unassigned drive and marring/tagging/disposing of it so this never happens again.
  2. Diagnostics attached. No, the original disk 4 does not exist anymore. Thank you tower-diagnostics-20211121-2043.zip
  3. I made a terrible mistake, still unsure how I did it. Background: Dual Parity system previously 4TB drives, now 6TB, only 6TB in system are the parity drives Did a swap for Parity 1 - Copy Successful, rebuild successful Did a swap for Parity 2 - Copy Successful, rebuild currently running Get alert that Parity 2 has raw read error (in the thousands) - Odd for a new drive... This is where I discover my terrible mistake, I've accidently placed a drive that had 3.5 years of spin time on it from my other Unraid box instead of the new 6TB. At this point I have paused the rebuild of the previous Parity drive (now a disk in the array) because I don't think I should trust the Parity 2. What's the best way to resolve this with the least risk to data? Everything important on the array is offsite backed up... but if I can avoid bringing it back (and losing the unimportant stuff) I would like that. Should I (and can I even) pull parity 2 and restart the data-rebuild of Disk 4 (the swapped disk) then once that is complete, add a new 6TB drive as parity 2 and have that start it's process? Still unsure how this drive made it from my "destroy/recycle" pile back to the "on hand to swap if necessary" stack... I will be putting some failsafes in place to prevent that going forward. I cannot believe I did this... I am certainly kicking myself...
  4. I updated last evening and tried to log in today, UI never shows and the log shows: Looking at the github it looks like they might have upgraded to requiring Python3.X on their end. Is there a fix for this? Thanks!
  5. Currently I am just trying to get everything configured over VNC, my goal after that is done is to use a remote connection tool like TeamViewer or something similar. Unfortunately I am running into an issue with the vanilla build where the mouse will just stop working (The pointer will follow the dot from VNC for a while... then the pointer "sticks" and that's the end, the dot still moved but the arrow sticks, clicking does not respond to what is under the arrow either). Restarting the VNC window doesn't make a difference, I have to restart the VM and then it will work again for a short time. So far, it hasn't run long enough for me to get TeamViewer installed. I've now downloaded TeamViewer on another system and hope I can browse to the network and run it before the mouse disassociates. I have tried each of the VNC settings for the mouse with no luck. Any pointers would be great (I am running with the vanilla XML after the mouse line was removed) Thanks!
  6. Sorry for the late reply, had some other issues and wasn't able to give this a crack. It worked perfectly, thank you so much for all of your help!
  7. Adding one more comment in case it helps with a solution: Drive 3 that I replaced was throwing a ton of errors, the same as parity, the only SMART issue was UDMA CRC error count so I am assuming that this was also related to the controller. If that's the case, i have that drive as it was when I removed it from the system, so I could possibly rebuild parity off of that (Except: it was a 3TB drive that when I replaced I upgraded to a 4TB drive) Just throwing that out there so all of my information is available... I won't do anything until I hear back.
  8. Sorry, hopefully the last post on this: Got the new LSI Card today and installed it. Booted up but due to the read errors issue with the parity drive it is in the disabled state. Drive 3 is in an enabled state but because it "rebuilt" with millions of read errors from the parity drive I do not trust that it is actually rebuilt. Where do I go from here? Thank you tower-diagnostics-20190331-1707.zip
  9. I have ordered an LSI controller which will arrive today, I have kept my system off and will follow your advice once I have the new card and have it installed. Thank you for all of your help and guidance!
  10. Is there a controller (or even just a manufacturer) you’d recommend? I built this about 5 years ago and haven’t really looked at changes and recommendations since then. If I replace that is it as simple as replacing the card, reseating cables and booting up, then removing and readding drive 3 to rebuild again? drive 3 was on the card prior to a swap out now it’s using the MB SATA.
  11. diagnostics worked, thank you. Attached thank you also for all of your help on this! tower-diagnostics-20190329-0905.zip
  12. Before I could check for replies it claims it has completed: It does claim parity is valid, I'm doubtful. I'm assuming it's because of the 866mil "read error" messages but when I try to gather diagnostics I get this: I don't know how it (Disk 3) could be complete with only 843.382 writes either there is 2.24TB of data on that drive.
  13. The parity drive is about 3 months old and had no signs of issues during pre-clear, I believe my issue is a bad cable on a 4 drive cage causing the Parity drive to have read errors. The concern I have is I am currently doing a rebuild of drive # 3 in my system, I can't imagine it will finish correctly with 32mil+ read errors on parity. What is the best way to handle this? The log file is 100% filled with read error lines. Do I shutdown, reseat cables and restart the drive rebuild?
  14. Tools -> New Config Sorry I should have looked there first. Parity is being rebuilt Thank you
  15. Yeah, as I have them right now is accurate (the last 10 digits didn't change) What do I have to do to do a new config? Right now it is telling me my config has too many wrong and will not let me assign anything to any slots.
