I have had a lot of trouble recently wiht my SAS controller card. I presumed it was because it was SAS and not LSI... i replaced it today and disk 7 is still not available. This is on the heals of disk 6 failing and being replaced. The timing is suspect. could someone please look at my diagnostics and confirm that 7 is in need of replacement and that there is not a greater issue looming? I would be eternally grateful.

I have been experiencing a lot of issues where a HDD is no longer available. Currently there is a Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 handling 6 drives. I already understand that this is likely a large part of my issue, but maybe not entirely? I've posted diagnostics in case someone wants to be awesome and look this over. I plan on replacing the card but need a little help grabbing the correct card as I really don't know my way around controller cards. I am looking at the LSI LOGIC 9211-8I. Would this be an adequate card for a replacement? Second to that, the reseller is Server Suppy https://tinyurl.com/y6zmbgc4 are they a reputable supplier for refurbished equipment? server-diagnostics-20190702-1905.zip

I did start the array and performed a check. There were 0 errors found. The unassigned HDD is the original disk that needs replaced. I have a new one pre-cleared and ready to go in. It appears everything is available, which is concerning as it had not been after my last reboot. There is *some* problem lurking in the background.

The diagnostic file is uploaded. I would greatly appreciate help in figuring this out. Thank you server-diagnostics-20190601-0810.zip

As soon as pre-clear finishes I will post that.

I recently had a drive fail, no biggie, its happened before. I replaced it with another drive and began the pre-clear. When I brought the server online to pre-clear, the drive shows "not installed" which makes sense, but there is no mention of emulation. Trying to access the shares on the server, much of the data is missing. on individual drives the data is present, but not in the shares. Before I create a larger mess, I was hoping for a little guidance as this is different than any previous drive failure I have had. I am running unRAID 6.6.6 Attached is a copy of my syslog. My principle concern is rebuilding the array with whatever state the system is in leading to permanent data loss - obviously! I genuinely appreciate any help that can be offered. System Log.txt

SOLVED Ever since I upgraded from 6.3.5 to 6.5.0 I have lost the use of unrar. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Nerd tools app, but haven't had any luck getting this function back. -bash: unrar: command not found I apologize if this has been asked and answered, but I'm at my wits end on this. Any help would be great. Regards. Edit.... Damn It, I found a previous post about turning on the individual applications within NerdPack... never saw that before...

I installed a AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 over the weekend. Completely plug-n-play with 6.1.9. I actually added 4 2TB HDD in one commercial break of football action. I was amazed.
