Just got worrying notification! Unraid Parity 2 error: 16-01-2023 21:11 Alert [sERVER] - Parity 2 in error state (disk dsbl) WDC_WD120EDAZ-11F3RA0_2AHLUH3Y (sdl) This is the same 12tb disk which was assigned as disk4 and moved to different bay. I think it is best to remove to disk. Go back to 1 parity. Disk4 has already been removed. What should I do? Stop parity Stop array Remove parity 2 Create new config (preserve all) Start array Start parity rebuild with the original parity drive?server-diagnostics-20230116-2113.zip Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

Thanks that's all started Unraid Parity disk message: 16-01-2023 16:04 Notice [SERVER] - Parity disk, parity-sync in progress WDC_WD120EFAX-68UNTN0_8CKD5M3E (sdf) Unraid Parity 2 message: 16-01-2023 16:04 Notice [SERVER] - Parity 2, is being reconstructed and is available for normal operation WDC_WD120EDAZ-11F3RA0_2AHLUH3Y (sdl) Unraid Parity-Sync: 16-01-2023 16:04 Notice [SERVER] - Parity-Sync started Size: 12.0 TB As im out of drive bays I will next swap another 4tb drive with another 12tb but glad I know have dual parity or will have once this has completed

Remove original disk. Start array. Stop array. Assign disk to parity Start array? Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

Reseated all the connections and took all the caddies out and put them back. Seeing as I already moved files off disk4. I might as well set that to no disk and assign it to dual parity. Then I will have 2x12tb disks for parity. When it comes to replacing another 4tb disk in future i will add another 12tb drive. Anything I need to know before doing this other than I reduce my array size? Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

Stopped the array and that disk is no longer available in main tab to select. Think it has dropped off. I will open it all up and check all the connections. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

Will have to shut it down and check as no ipmi connected... But using a lsi card in it mode. I think best thing to do is shut server down and check all the connections. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

I wonder if all this time it was connection issue and not drive error. Not been inside the case just got 12 bays at front in cages Diagnostic attached server-diagnostics-20230115-2225.zip Also think all drives are automatically set to xfs Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

The replacement 12tb for disk4 got to 90.3% and errored Unraid Disk 4 error: 15-01-2023 21:05 Alert [sERVER] - Disk 4 in error state (disk dsbl) WDC_WD120EDAZ-11F3RA0_2AHLUH3Y (sdp) This is a brand new drive... Guessing RMA is in order? The disk has been disabled what should I do next.? Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

No problem, that's fine as the files are backed up on another disk just incase. Will wait for rebuild to complete. Thanks Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

Removed from UD and formatted, assigned disk and started array. Rebuilding has started but confused because there shouldn't be anything on disk4 as I moved everything off before removing from array. Can't remember if this is normal.

Really confused, added 12tb and it's showing unassigned dirve and not allowing to add to array? Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

DIsk4 (4TB) in my array has started showing reads errors and I have started moving the data off to another drive that has space so I can replace it with a 12TB drive. Just want to know whether the drive is ready to be trashed or can it still safely be used but not in my array?

Any recommendation for a motherboard to go with? This wont work will a server board would it? I have a spare 2u chassis that I want to upgrade internals and migrate from my dual x5690 setup.

Excellent, there's a deal on 14TB drive which means it cheaper than 12tb! So will get the 14TB and add it as second parity

Hi All, Just have a quick question regarding dual parity... I currently have single 12TB parity drive if I wanted to added 2nd parity does it have to be 12tb or can I add a 14tb drive? The largest disk in my array is 12tb. So both parity drives will be equal or larger just not sure if they have to the same size?

I think I have come up with plan to start moving some data and freeing up a disk slot. For now I am moving stuff away from a 4TB to add the 12TB I have. Will then move all data from disk1 which has been running for about 7-8 years without issue to the new 12TB. Then order a another 12TB to replace disk1 and then assign that as parity2! After all that is all done I still need to decide if I should move away from the dual X5690 setup or Ryzen?

So EPYC looks like it's out the picture but seen a few posts on reddit about Ryzen over the x5690 This seems to be a good post Willl look at what current pricing looks like.

I have a spare 2U Supermicro chassis and looking to find a Motherboard + CPU + RAM for a budget of around £600 ish (used or refurbished) looking on ebay and UK market is pretty poor. There are some bundles for supermicro + EPYC from china but dont want to risk the import duty. Current system in use is in my SIG but essentially a DUAL XEON X5690 setup with DDR3 memory. Looking for something I can just put straight into existing chassis and the migrate all disks over to new system. 10gb networking would be nice but not essential and lower power consumption is always a bonus.

By the sounds of things I would probably be better getting hold of another 12TB in that case and start planning on moving some data of the 4TBs.

I am in very similar position. I have a spare 12 bay 2u supermicro chassis with a damaged CPU1 socket on a X8DT3 motherboard. Can run perfectly fine with single cpu but want to upgrade it to something like Ryzen or EPYC but at the same time dont want to spend a fortune. Power consumption is big issue so looking for something more efficient than the Xeon X5690s I am currently running.

Correct its 2U supermicro chassis with 12bays. All bays are populated and I have 1TB ssd connected to on board sata for cache drive.

I will run smart against all the disk and pop it into excel for future reference too. None of the drives have any warnings against them and all showing as healthy. I think you are right, I didnt even consider a 2nd parity tbh. Either way will still need to pull a drive from the array. server-diagnostics-20220704-1618.zip

So I have 12 bays and all full now, mixture of 4TBs and 12TB. I got another 12TB to replace a 4TB but not sure which one to replace. Just replace at random or is there a way to check which is oldest? All the 4TB drives are WD Reds but think 1 is a WD Green so maybe take that out?

Luckily the container has been stopped for a long time. Will look up setting up reverse proxy but stopped getting alerts as soon as I disabled those ports and set unifi to detect and block. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk
