Hello all, I have tried to diagnose this myself, but reading the diagnostics is a bit foreign to me. I don't quite know what I am looking for other than the obvious. I looked at the syslog.txt and saw this line: Not sure exactly what that means. I have ran SMART tests recently and have not seen any errors. Perhaps its an issue with my LSI Card? I have (2) of these --> (LSI SAS 2008 9211-8i - IT Mode) You can see in my screenshot that I am currently rebuilding Disk 6, then had Disk 1 fail during the rebuild. Questions * What is going wrong with the server that is causing the Disks to Fail? * Teach a man to fish please, what areas should I look at in the Diagnostics, in the Syslog.txt only? Or other places? Thanks all tower-diagnostics-20221120-1742.zip

Unraid Version: Version: 6.10.1 Hello all! I was wondering if I can get some help with reading diagnostics. One of my 2 Parity drives continues to become disabled. I am unsure why my Parity drive is becoming disabled. Image of my array with the disabled Parity drive is also attached The same drive which is disabled in the image, was disabled last week for the first time. Last week, I downloaded the diagnostics, I examined them very closely (I am novice at reading diagnostics, but an experienced C# programmer), it was hard to understand what was 'bad' and what was 'ok'. So I proceeded to run an extended SMART test on the drive (see attached), and it appears that the SMART report completed without error. I do not know enough about SMART reports to know if there is anything 'dangerous' with my SMART report. 2 days after I ran the Extended SMART test, and 'Rebuilt' the Parity drive that was disabled... The drive became disabled again. Now I have attached the most recent diagnostics and other information to this post, in hopes that someone can read my Diagnostics and help me determine what is wrong. Only that (1) drive becomes disabled, so I do not think it is an issue with the HBA card overheating (I have fans on my LSI HBA cards to help reduce this). I would really appreciate it if someone can take a look at my Diagnostics and Extended Smart Test results and see if there are any issues with my drive. --- The target drive that becomes disabled: Parity 1 || WDC_WD140EDFZ-11A0VA0_Y5J2GT6C || 14TB || WD Red Pro Unraid Version: Version: 6.10.1 Thanks all! I appreciate it!! Should I also post this on Reddit? Or are these Unraid forums the best place for this? tower-smart-20220626-1706.zip tower-diagnostics-20220626-1659.zip

I just want to say thanks for the information, I have copied your suggestions and added it to my own settings. See below:

Can't access Unriad GUI or view it from my network. However, on the Unraid machine itself, command line works, GUI does not Hello all! Setup | UnRaid Machine Unraid server (computer) attached to network 52TB of space with 51.5TB of used space (I know... this will likely be the problem..) Basically my issue is: I cannot access my UnRaid server from my network Using a monitor and keyboard attached to my UnRaid server machine: I can only access command line GUI will not load Parity check is running PROBLEM My UnRaid Server is not viewable (discoverable) from the network I cannot access my UnRaid Server GUI does not load on my machine Parity is running Summary One day randomly (I assume I need more freespace and parity check started, overloaded the server because lack of free HDD space) - I can't connect to my UnRaid server, I can't access it or view it remotely. It is not discoverable from my network. I assume this is because Parity is running. Diagnostics... I struggle to share diagnostics because I can't access the server remotely, so they'll be dumped to my flashdrive I think.. if you need me to share diagnostics I will try my best! Questions How can I fix this? How can I stop parity from command line? Would love some help recovering my UnRaid server. I am also kinda desperate for a fix, i'll pay for this help haha. Please help! -------- I dont' want to leave UnRaid, I love UnRaid, but I am tired of battleing issues like this... I feel like I am always fighting UnRaid and it is not stable. I created a post about it here on Reddit.

Ah this is news to me! I did not know that they offer this, that is very cool! Thanks for letting me know! They are a bit expensive (2 hours for $300), but they do offer the same services! I am thinking about creating a company which offers more 'granular' services in which users can purchase 'OpenVPN' set up, or 'Ombi - Torrent - Radarr' workflow set up, and other packages like that. It'll be more task oriented, and a bit more affordable than $150 per hour. Not that they are not worth $150 per hour... Lime Tech is the A-Team, they are the best of the best for this. For something more simple or for users who want something a bit less 'professional' I imagine they can use a service like mine. If the issue is more extreme or 'low-level', the Lime-Tech team would definitely be the better option. ---- When I have been very stuck setting something up on UnRaid, I have gone on UpWork.com and attempted to find people who have experience with UnRaid. Almost every time I fail at locating devs who have experience with UnRaid specifically. The Devs I find say "Oh I can do it on a server, so I can do it on UnRaid..." then they go to my UnRaid server and are massively unfamiliar with the interface and inner-workings of UnRaid, so they are not able to help me... This has been my experience to be honest. --- What do think of this agency service I would like to create? Is this a waste of my time to create an agency that does this? or will it be useful for users? I am biased, and I think it will be useful... But would love to know what you and others think.

Hello all! Basically I am testing the waters here. I have UnRaid and LOVE UnRaid. However, I have spent many many hours, and sometimes fail for many days to configure things such as: Ombi Reverse DNS OpenVPN Radarr Movie Download Workflow Music Download Workflow Fix my Cache (its full and wont 'move' files) Other Unraid difficulties Disabled drive Configure 8+ SATA cards and 'flash' the SATA card etc I have spent many many many hours on tasks like this. Like much of you, I love technology and after every task I learn so much more and become a better developer / technology guru. However, sometimes I just want to press the easy button and pay someone to do this. The problem is UnRaid is someone esoteric technology and there are not that many qualified professionals to assist us, so we must do it ourselves (Which we love and hate). ----------- My question is: If there was a service or company that you can call, do screen shares, or even 'house visits' and pay either: By Hour Flat rate per task How many of you would be interested in a service like this?

This seems to be happening to me as well. Parity sync started and poof, GUI gone.

hello all! I am at a loss here, I have spent all day trying to connect to my UNRAID server. I have read and followed all the tutorials here to no avail. The bizarre part is a few days ago everything was working fine, then I shut off my UNRAID server (gracefully) for a few days, I turned it back on and now none of my Windows Machines (W-10) can connect to the UNRAID server. I want to use UNRAID, but its been a serious pain to get up and running... I am considering abadonining it if this doesnt get resolved soon :(. I attached my SysLog file. Solutions Tried: Connect to UNRAID manually via file explorer \\Tower <-- Network path not found Turned off and on IPv6, doesnt work either way Can anyone offer some advice please? Thanks! tower-syslog-20180122-1215.zip

I currently have 3 drives (I plan to add more once I get this up and working) 1 Tb HDD (Storage) SATA connection 4 Tb HDD (Parity) SATA connection 240 GB SSD (for cache) SATA connection Previously this computer was used for a windows machine. All of the hardware is the same as it was in the windows configuration (HDD, MoBo, GPU, CPU, RAM, PSU) They are connected to the blue Marvel Controller ports on my ASUS motherboard I have 24 Gb of RAM Intel I7 bloomfield 950 CPU My power supply is a 500w Thermalake TR2 Let me know how I can help more! I appreciate your help and input! I am puzzled because this hardware worked fine as a Windows Machine, but now as UnRaid is having problems. ----------------- I called a local CPU parts repair and plan to take the drives in to be checked out. Do you think that's worthwhile? (I also have a corrupted 4TB HDD I need to have retrieved) My power supply is the

Hello! I am brand new to UnRaid, I am trying to get my initial server set up. I am using an old MoBo I do not use, and I have some HDD's that used to be in one of my machines that I am going to format and put in the UnRaid machine. My problem is that my drives keep vanishing. First, I set up all my drives, they were all visible and working fine. The Parity drive had to be re-imaged so I let that run overnight. In the morning I came back to my server and saw that the Parity drive was disabled. I looked into the logs and learned that UnRaid was having problems reading from the Parity drive for some reason. I did some more research and found out that I should 'pre-clear' my drives. I inserted all my drives once again, and now they dont usually show up as attached to the MoBo. If I power cycle the machine then they occasionally show up. This is where it gets weird too, so after the above issues, I wanted to see if it could perhaps be a SMART issue. I went to test the harddrives via SMART in unraid, and upon testing them in SMART, the progress bar reaches about 20%, then the drive drops off no where to be found. This happens to all my drives. Questions: - Why does sometimes my drives not get detected by the UnRaid machine? And othertimes it does? - Why when I am performing a SMART check before I run a pre-clear does the HDD disappear? Can anyone give me advice on what to do? I dont think its a problem with the drives as they were working fine in my other machines with no SMART errors. Thanks! Please see attached diagnostic report Summarized Problems: - When I turn my UnRaid Computer on, 50% of the time none of the drives are detected or loaded whatsoever, 50% of the time they are loaded, but then later during operation 'disconnect' - Note: These drives and the hardware for the UnRaid Computer were working 100% fine just last week as my windows machine. I have now turned it into an UnRaid machine and am encountering many problems maintower-diagnostics-20171021-1514.zip
