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:

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?
