Okay, I believe the HDS report you posted is what one sees in the terminal window after HDS has finished. It is not the report it would generate and save if you started HDS with the -r switch. The report you're posting is a basic report. The saved report includes a lot more data. Here is a saved report from my old Linux machine so you'll see what I mean (I've only included 1 drive because it was so long). -- General Information -- Application Information ----------------------- Installed Version . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As I said that would just be my first guess as cable/communicaiton problems are fairly common and do suddenly pop up sometimes. Plus it did fit the parameters of how your issues presented. Is drive 10 is your last syslog the same drive, port, or cabling as the troubled drive/port/cable from your first post? If so, that drive/port/cable is definitely having problems. If Janos does not manage to get on this forum, I suggest you contact him about this. One of the great things about HDS is Janos' support.

I've sent a link to this thread, to Janos, and asked him to join the discussion. Hopefully he'll be able to make some time to get on this forum. But I also know he works like a madman in his secret laboratory in Hungary , so it may take him some time to get here. I'll leave the problem solving to him and the unRAID gurus. But if I were having this issue, I'd immediately suspect a cable problem. I know Sata cable problems will cause all sorts of weird results and transient or progressive issues. I also know cables that look fine, have worked fine for ages, and seem to be well seated, can start having issues. Given that it sounds like unRAID took the drive out of service "unRAID does not take a disk out of service casually, but if a disk experiences a write failure, it will do exactly that, it will take the disk out of service" I'd think you had a write problem as well as the HDS detection/data collection problems. Add to that the fact that after removing the drive and connecting it to another computer (and thereby exercising/changing the cables), the problem seems to have gone away (well other than the fact that the drive was OOS in unRAID, which you were able to correct). And all of this points me to a cable issue. But I may well be completely off the mark here, which is why I asked Janos to chime in. Normally my HDS reports include a lot more data than I'm seeing with yours flaggart. Did you edit the reports or are you not getting any additional data?

HDSentinel is a great program. I use it in all 10 of my computers. There is a Pro Windows version, an Enterprise version (server), a Linux version, a Linux daemon version, a home version, and a free trial version that never expires (it just lacks some of the higher order functions). The guy who runs the company and develops the program, Janos, is a gem of a human being. He is as valuable as the product itself. Finding nice, helpful technical experts who will actually talk with you, is just refreshing. Even back when I was only using the trial version, Janos was more than happy to help me problem solve. He is why I went so strongly with HDS, that and the program itself and it's capabilities. And there are others here who feel the same way. As JudyZ's comments will attest -- I liked Janos' HDS program so much that I installed it on my Linux computers too. But Installation and use was strictly manual, command-line stuff in Linux. And it overwrites the report each time you run it, unless you manually rename the old report before you run HDS again. So I wrote a couple simple scripts, to help automate the installation, put launchers in a couple logical places, and give you an automated way to run the program, generate a new report, and save it automatically, with the date/time in the filename, thereby building a library of searchable reports. HDSentinel is a gem, it does a great many basic tasks really well. Plus it helps you avoid catastrophic failures, premature retirements of drives, and gives you options for reclaiming or salvaging a disk with issues. http://www.hdsentinel.com/ -- general info and links http://www.hdsentinel.com/add-on-linux-installers.php -- the program bundled with my installers and scripts Now Janos, Judy and I are working on a way to include the HDS Daemon on an unRAID USB drive, have it run automatically at startup, and have its output be monitored by the Enterprise (server) version of HDS either in Docker or remotely.
