Jorge, Thanks that's what I feared, I ordered a LSI 9211-8i to swap out with. My current one I ordered from ebay so a little worried it may not be as new as advertised, I currently have the pannel off of my 3U case and a box fan blowing directly onto the HBA and it still crashes. I'm going to try another PCI slot and see maybe if that will work. It just sucks that a fullo parity check takes 3 days to complete and it usually crashes after a day and a half Appreciate it. Did you by chance look at the log dated 20230823, i ran that the second crash after moving the expander and SAS cables. I'm sure its the HBA in that also.

Hello gurus can someone point me in the right direction or maybe solve this issue for me. I had a drive (12TB) go disabled red x (Drive 6). I try to renabled it and to get it back online but couldn't get it back to green, I beleive the drive has read errors so I replaced the drive with a 20TB WD Red that I purchased and unfortuantly my noobness and stupidity did soemthing while I was trying to get the disabled 12TB to renable and UNRAID forced me to preclear and format the new drive thus losing 12TB of data. I rebooted before running diagnostics which was dumb of me, but honestly, I was worried about and focused on the 12TN of tv shows I was about to lose. Yes, I know I did soemthing and drive 6 should of rebuilt itself. So, I was running a parity check and after 12hrs parity checked paused and drive 4 became disabled, drives 1-6 are in the same disk shelf (EMC KTN-STL3 15 Bay connected to my server by SF-8088 to SF-8088 cable so I thought maybe it was a hardware issue, so I pulled the HBA, replaced the expander with a spare that I had and the SF-8088 to SF-8087 card and the cables. I moved the expander to a different PCI slot and reattched the SF-9-97 to SF-8087 cables in different positions. Long story short I ran another parity check, and it ran for roughly 20hrs and then paused and disk 4 went disabled again. I would lijke to rebuild my 12TB of shows back but as a parity check usually takes 3 days to complete, I would like to resolve the issue before I lcompletly corrupt 129TB of Movies and TV Shows. I'm assuming it's either the HBA or the expander. Like the HBA is resetting itself all the time. Suggestions, is there a type or quality of cables I should buy? tower-diagnostics-20230823-1527.zip

JorgeB, this is the same expander and HBA from the last post, was just explaining that it’s newly purchased and installed back in May 2023. I was able to run a parity check and currently sitting at 22% with 1 synch error. I had to pull the Intel RES2SV240 24-Port Expander out and reinsert it and make sure all the data cables were secure. I think it’s not sitting right in the PCI slot because there’s no bracket to secure it down and any movement or vibration causes it to wobble which maybe the reason why it’s resetting itself a lot. After this parity check I’m going to find an old bracket and see if that fixes the problem.

So this happened again, I did a Parity check before going to bed because I havent; done one since May 23, 2023 and I have added a lot more data to it. Woke up this morning with the Parity check paused and drive one disabled. Ugh this is frustrating, the HBA and expander are all new and I have the case open and a 26" box fan constantly blowing on the the card. Do I need to replace the wires or the HBA again? Hate to have to replace the wires as I suck at cable management, and it will be ugly. Thanks for any support. Last time I had to remove the hba and reset it and disconnect and reconnect the cables before I could actually do a clean parity check. Will try to do that again. Could it be the Intel RES2SV240 24-Port Expander? It didn't come with the Bracket to screw it to the case, and it wobbles back and forth if you physically move it. tower-diagnostics-20230624-0705.zip syslog.1.txt syslog.txt

Makes me not want to do a parity check good lord, it takes 3 days to do a check. Thanks, I appreciate your help.

I checked all the cables, reset both the HBA and the expander and I left the panal off of the tower and put a fan blowing on it, so we will see. Just curious why this only happens when I do a parity check and not when transfering new data or downloading to the share folders. Maybe because since all the drives are spun up when doing a Parity check it overheats. Curious

Thank you, I figured that would be the solution i just wish that there was a way to see what was being corrected. I just spent days updating quality and missing episodes and movies. Thank you for your reply.

JorgeB, thanks I'll look into that. I just expanded my disk storage and rplaced the original Marvell controller with a LSI 9207-8i HBA and a SFF-8088 to SAF-8087 adapter. My case is a 3U rack so it may be getting hot. I will check the HBA seating and connections, whats a good way of cooling it. Maybe it's time to upgrade my Tower is back from 2014 that I purchased from Limetech when they were selling pre configured servers. Also if I do manage to be able to get through a complete Parity check, what do i do about the high number of Synch Errors?

Hope that is the information you wanted and it helps, kind of unfamiliar with all of this. Thank you for your assitance.

Unraid 6.11.5 I keep having disks go into an error state during a parity check and it’s ticking me off and trying to zero in on the culprit. This has happened 3 times during a Pairty Check, usually within 10-15hrs into it the Parity check will stop and the server reports a disl going into error state. Drive 1 and 4 (20TB) were the ones that were reported. I'm sure I may of not made my post clear and unconfusing, I aplogize for that and will try to clarify anything in followup questions. I plan on checking the hardware connection’s tomorrow. syslog.1.txt.zip tower-smart-20230523-0643.zip tower-diagnostics-20230523-0648.zip

So how do you upgrade, I'm not getting an update from tools on my unraid server.

Squid thank you, I will run hopefully the disk can be salvaged.

Thank you for the reply tower-diagnostics-20170301-1922.zip

Hello, I recently updated my parity drive and another array drive to 8TB I reconfigured all my hard drives positions and since then I lost my shared folders labeled TV Shows and Movies. When I go back and try to create folders it tells me Share Movies has been deleted. Or Share TV Shows has been deleted. I'm running 6.3.2 anyone else have this problem or a solution

Does this DOCKER still support PlexPass? I installed this and couldn't find where to enter my PlexPass information. Is there detailed steps to install and configure this DOCKER? sorry I'm new to all this.
