    :)  Glad to help.  Hope you are able to solve your issue!

    what if your hardware is fine and you formated your parity disks and then did a parity check and got less than 50 sync errors? I guess go back and check hardware and ram? Also does rebooting do something with parity on the usb

  2. ive decided just to reformat both parity disks and rewrite the parity information to the disks , obviously this is too complicated and poor implementation of unraid  and should be addressed.  Regardless I should not be too affected due to only having about 60 sync errors which were not able to fix themselves.

    I have the same question.

     

    How to detect what data is correct and how to correct?

    Maybe we can start easy:

    Is it able to extract both version of the mismatching data block for all data disks? And if you find tools to validate the result, how to decide in which way the array should be reconstructed?

     

    2nd Question: why is there a "Correct" Flag implemented in the parity check? Who would want to blindly overwrite the parity drive data?

    https://wiki.unraid.net/Parity#Checking_parity

     

    I would guess that the process is to resolve the issue on the data disk and then rebuild the parity with the correct flag. But this would only be possible if the parity check does tell at which data disk the issue did Accor, which is not possible without checking the data block on all connected data disks.

     

    My conclusion: if we don't know how to correctly solve a parity check result (blindly changing parity drive data is not a solution) I don't understand what the point of the parity check is.

    yeah i agree.

    Not sure if there's a better way of doing this, or something built-in and automated for a new user experience (lots of room for ignorance).  The last thing I want to deal with is corruption, not knowing what is corrupted, why/how, and trying to recover.  

     

    I like btrfs scrub/validation feature, but I've read the array (data-parity process) doesn't recover well from an unexpected ungraceful shutdown.  Even with a UPS, it still makes me nervous.

     

    Perhaps XFS + Dynamix File Integrity (DFI) is the more robust/safest solution.  XFS for the unexpected shutdown recovery + DFI that basically does the same thing as btrfs scrub.  I'm using BLAKE3 and hope it is as good or better than btrfs metadata/scrubs.

     

    Perhaps something in the future:

    1. Built-in file integrity check (for XFS too), and perhaps the default for new users.  If a parity error happens, knowing if your parity versus your data is corrupt seems absolutely essential.  Without knowing this information, it could leave somebody with a lot to try and figure out.
    2. Scheduled hardware checks (e.g. memory test), SMART drive tests, file integrity checks, parity checks.  I would like to catch problems as early (and conveniently) as possible. 
    3. Best practices built-in and streamlined.  There's already some of these, but it's not intuitive, and I still don't have it nicely figured out with best practices.

    Thank you.

    I am running into the same issue right now and have no clue how to figure this out. i changed out my ram, hba, and sas cables , 2 of them.  

    I am using your settings blake 3 and building the checksum on 24 disks will take about 25 hours. Once you run the parity check and gather which sectors are bad , how do you check with DFI?  The only thing I can do now is located the files and erase them or completely format the drive or replace. Everything checks out fine on smart and even scrutiny smart data, nothing is wrong with the hard drives. However crap unraid parity cant tell me anything and have run 2 parity checks and still getting roughly 5-50 errors with auto correction not working even though the box is checked on the main page.  Very frustrating and  received no help on discord

    Fastboot is often an issue, I do remove it on all computer, just in case.

    Keep your EFI folder in sync with your boot option :

    • EFI- for CSM boot
    • EFI for standard UEFI

    Running make_bootable again should not be necessary but would not hurt either.

    I am doing a parity check and will be done in  a few days. I plan on disabling the fast boot and leaving the folder name "EFI" with no -   and will give you guys an update how it runs.   I will not do anything else and let you know what happens. CSM is disabled as it is greyed out 

    thanks

  6. Please refer to this solved topic

     

    I am running into the same issue running a z370 mobo. Not sure what is going on but my bios is showing CSM disabled and everytime i reboot unraid , i have to manually go into my bios to manually select the boot device to force boot the USB drive where unraid resides.  It will reboot the machine and work but gone are the days of rebooting my server and having it automatically boot into the OS.

     

    I did remove the dash on EFI folder so no more EFI-   , Along the lines i basically forgot what I did to cause the USB not to automatically boot into unraid. What am i doing wrong?

    I have no other boot devices besides the USB unraid drive. I am affraid to click on Make USB bootable on the USB drive as i do not want to reformat the drive.

     

    How can I fix my USB drive to automatically boot from the USB so when I update unraid and reboot i, do not have manually force boot the USB drive in the bios?

    THanks

    Here's the 4 STLs if you wanna print 'em. If I wanted to improve on it I'd probably include some interlocking tabs to help with alignment when gluing, but it works as is so meh

     

    I added tabs on it so it lines up with the 4224's handles to either zip tie or velcro (I went with velcro), powered it via an umbilical cord to an externally powered fan hub

    thanks , 

    I was able to put in some better fans , however i think i should be sucking air from the outside into the case? I am currently blowing air out over the drives . How are you doing it?

    I printed a custom front fan shroud for my 4224, keeps my drives in the high 30's during parity checks (granted, my internal fan wall filled with Noctua fans is always at 100%, so can't help ya there)

    That looks  like a great alternative for using when you are rebuilding the parity.  I looked on thingyverse but did not see it.  Are you able to share it? How did you attach it ? Looks like you just screwed it on to the rack.   My only issue would be how do you run power to it?

    Thanks

  10. I used to use system auto fan which worked great on my old motherboard to control the hdd heat on my 24 bay norco 4224. Now  with my asus z490 qfan it only sees the chipset or cpu which does not help ramp up the fans during a parity check and system auto fan app does not work to detect my chipset fan control.   Not sure what else to do here as I am stumped on how to fix this issue where I can tell my backplane fans 3 , 120mm fans to ramp up when hdds exceed 45c . I usually avg around 45c at idle but during parity checks i see 51-54c on hdds . The entire 24 bay is filled up with large drives 12-18 TB

     

    I have 2 , noctua fans rununing in the rear 

    any idea?

    I re-upgraded to 6.8.1 again tonight to see if I can figure out the cause of the speed drop but came up empty.  I turned on disk shares and tested it and noticed that the transfer speed to the cache disk share remained the same on both 6.7.2 and 6.8.1  at around 700-750MB/s. So whatever the issue is, it seems like the user share transfer was the only one that was hit with this approximately 200+ MB/s drop.

     

    My Unraid server 10G network hardware :

         - 1 Mellanox ConnectX-2 PCIe x8 NIC 10G Dual Port Server Adapter 81Y1541

         - 2 Avago AFBR-703ASDZ-E2 10GbE Ethernet 10GBASE-SR SFP+  Transcievers

         - 2 5m LC-LC OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch cables

     

    My Client PC 10 G network hardware :

        - 1 MNPA19-XTR 10GB MELLANOX CONNECTX-2 PCI-E 10G SFP+ NETWORK CARD

        - 1 10G SFP+ DAC Cable - 10GBASE-CU Passive Direct Attach Copper Twinax SFP Cable

     

    Everything is connected to a MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+ with 8 SFP+ 10Gbps Ports running SwitchOS

     

     

    The above setup have been working fine for the past 2 years and nothing was changed when the upgrade to 6.8.1 was done. I've tested without going through the Microtik switch and also with just using the 2 fiber patch cables instead of the Twinax and same result.

    my issue

     

     

  12. So running unraid /cache NVME raid 0 about 13000MB/s  to a NVME on another client running 3000MB/s.     Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT CX311A ConnectX-3 EN Network Card 10GbE SinglePort SFP+

     

    I start out at 1.09GB/s  but dies to about 50-100MB/s after 30 secs.  Not sure if there is a setting in the switch MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN that needs to be turned on to stop this issue?   I am running windows 10 to unraid  with issues.  I heard linux is better i.e. Ubuntu? 

    MTU size is not the issue and only screws things up with unraid and network shares over SMB.    Increasing Jumbo frames in windows 10 did not do a thing

     

    Should I just return this CRAP or and buy a regular 10G network card and use adapters?  What is the deal ???  Maybe the developer for Unraid can help me out. I am really pissed off 

     

  13. Is it possible to add network shares i.e.  sharing a folder on another unraid server using samba or just being able to see the folder on another unraid server where the docker is not running? Or do I just need to have two chia dockers going at the same time ?

     

     

    Is this app controlled by the chia developers themselves where your wallet key is secure ? I assume you have to enter your wallet key in this app?

    It doesn't. If you select Catalina, it downloads Catalina - I did it last week, and discussed it in this thread. However, if you select Big Sur, it downloads Catalina instead. This is a known problem and has been discussed repeatedly in this thread. The author hasn't updated the container to fix it. Also discussed is the fact that it's possible to install Catalina and then upgrade to Big Sur, if you really want to. I wouldn't expect you to read all 71 pages but it might be worth skimming through the last four or five.

    Thanks ,

    i uninstalled this garbage , not worth my time , macs are crap now

  15. So setup macinabox took me like 2 hours to figure out when selecting catilina to download in macinabox would really download big sur..

     

    When I selected big sur it  would download Catilina and install it..  Not sure what is going on here maybe someone could tell me what i am doing wrong or is the docker messed up?

  16. Hello AUTO FAN 1.6 why you not working with my new ASUS Z490 gaming -E ROG Strix mobo?

     

     

    I need this to work and to detect my PWM controller so I can set my fans up.  I dont  care to setup my fans in the bios

     

    Any developer  looking at this please fix it! Thanks!

    The drivers are very new to the Linux kernel, only the 6.9 beta has the newer kernel that supports these.

    yep i figured it out.


    Now my dam auto fan plugin is not working , and due to my case and temps where my hdds are at I need this to work .
