Additional question - any way to remove the "Parity 2" entry if it's not needed?

Not really very important, but your syslog is filling with these:
Apr 14 07:06:03 Tower emhttpd: error: get_key_info, 584: Invalid argument (22): get_message: /boot/config/._Basic.key (-3)
Apple ecosystems seem to drop these annoying ._ files on everything they touch. You should delete that file from your flash after you get everything else fixed.
Parity and parity2 are NOT interchangeable.
Post a screenshot of Main - Array Devices.

Last 4 chars of the 2 discs in question:
Parity: EN6T
Disc 1: 4XAC

really? unintentional!
allow me to check the serial numbers...
-
using parity 1, never was a parity 2 disc

Disc issues - again!! My HDDs range from approx 4 to 18 months old and two of them are now unassigned on my microserver.
The last time this happened, the issue was power-related, and I checked the cabling (disconnected then reconnected) until I got a positive result.
I've done the same thing now, but to no avail.
Is more checking of cables required, am I impatient by posting this, or is there something wrong with my discs?
I have attached a diag in the hope that someone can immediately spot the problem and offer some guidance.
TIA

Drive rebuilt successfully. Once again, thanks for your help!

Checked cabling, made sure everything was connected (pulled apart and then re-inserted) and powered on the server. Currently rebuilding and has gone further than previous attempts. Looking hopeful, but I'll keep an eye on it. Will keep you updated. Thanks for all your help!! 😊

There are ATA errors on 3 different disks, so it's likely a power or connection problem, since it's a Microserver there's only one mini SAS cables, make sure it's well attached, and if that doesn't help try with a different PSU and/or a new cable.

Stop the array, unassign the disk, start the array, stop the array, re-assign the disk, start the array to begin rebuilding, if the rebuild fails grab the diags before rebooting.
P.S,; Like mentioned, disk1 is empty, you still need to rebuild to turn the array healthy, but there's not data there
just tried, got to about 1.5% before the rebuild failed 😞

Do you mean a rebuild? Disk1 is new, but looks like it was formatted?
Yes I would like to rebuild. but i'm unsure on how to get disk1 enabled.

First give us the last four digits of the serial number of the drive which failed.
Second, describe what you mean by "It reached 100% then failed.". Did the the drive fail? Of did the preclear operation fail to complete? Were you using the preclear plugin or the preclear script (uses the Command Line)?
Last 4 digits of s/n: K0DY
The preclear failed to complete, i used the plugin.

HI there,
I've had my unraid server for a while now, but i am far from an expert - hence this message. A couple of weeks ago, i replaced a drive because i appeared to have failed. Inserted the new drive and performed a preclear on it. It reached 100% then failed.
Not sure what to do or how to proceed. I attach my diagnostics in the hope that someone more knowledgable than me can detect the issue, provide a little guidance and send me on my way.
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
I've had Couch Potato on my docker for a good few years now, however in the last couple of months I have been unable to connect to it.
I get a "This site can't be reached" message along with:
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I've been using Chrome and Safari, same result.
Any thoughts as to what I can do to rectify and get connected to CP again?Diagnostics attached.
Many thanks in advance -

Did as advised, now have a working array.
Many thanks for all your help

Don't understand the question.
I would do a new config (tools -> new config) and then assign only the 3 data disks, start the array and if all works correctly add a new parity disk when you get a spare, if not post new diags, but note that like I said you'll lose any data written to disk3 since you disabled it.
i've got no problem losing any data from disk3, nothing i can't get back anyway - will create a new config...

But it's still disabled, once a disk is disabled it's needs to be rebuilt or reset with a new config.
Not much you can do about it now, since parity is failing it can no longer correctly emulate disk3.
swap out disk 3 and parity, or is that too much?

You need to replace it, but since you currently have disk3 disable you need to figure out what to do about it, IIRC you disabled it on purpose, assuming nothing was written to the emulated disk you could do a new config without parity, see if everything is working correctly and if yes add a new parity disk later and then resync parity.
ok, I can pop in a replacement for the parity now, disk3 has been re-inserted when i updated the flash - no idea if anything has been written to it. so should i still replace the parity?

The server isn't fully starting, no disks are mounted, I also see ATA timeouts on several disks, something weird going on there, you may try to redo your flashdrive, back it up first, then use the latest release and restore the config folder from current flash, then boot and upload new diags.
updated flash drive with latest release, fired up server, disk light on server is solid, disks being mounted for 45mins now.
diag attached

ok, after plenty of faffing, managed to start the array with the parity and 3 other drives.
daren't restart the server, in case things freeze again!
no docker as the cache isn't being picked picked - connection issue?
diagnostics report attached

Most likely filesystem corruption, maybe the emulated disk, you should still be able to get the diagnostics using the console/SSH by typing diagnostics
But like trurl said
disk 3 missing because i haven't inserted it, as i found the risk of freezing greatly reduced without it inserted. will re-insert and try to run the diagnostic again
Unassigned Discs - why?? :-(
