I don't know where to look for it in the bios. It's an old GA-Z97N-WIFI/GA-H97N-WIFI/GA-H97N mobo.

Well I originally just tried a different port on the mini-sas, and it didn't work, but then re-read, and tried plugging into a SATA port on the mobo, and still no go.

I transplanted all the internals to a new case with a new modular PSU, and now I'm missing disk 5. I had a spare unassigned device in a another port that wasn't in the array, so I tried to plug disk 5 into that SATA cable and power cable, but it's still not reading it. Is there anything else I should try to do to see if it'll come back, or I'm I just hosed at this point and need to start over?

Occasionally when I start the computer it starts spinning up, and then just powers down, and restarts. I'm making a wild guess that it's a power / short issue.

I actually bought a whole new case and modular power supply. I wanna get rid of the power splitters. It seems like they may be causing me issues. I might just swap everything over tonight.

Well I stopped the system to add the new devices and run pre-clear on it while I ran check on the parity array, and now it says disk 3 is bad. Should I just power back down, and re-check the cable and power connections again, and retry. palazzo-diagnostics-20231107-1125.zip

So should I just replace disk 3, since it shows it's failing with the seek error rate? Do I need to be worried about the previous "dirty shutdown" (2nd post) palazzo-diagnostics-20231107-0820.zip

I ran the diskspeed docker, and this is what it shows. I guess I'm a bit worried about the wavy ones now 😬.

I assumed this is what that clicking noise was coming from. Do I need to finish the parity check before replacing the drive? This is why I bought that renewed drive.

I don't have `diskspeed docker` installed, and the app store isn't available in safemode. Going to reboot.

Since the speed hasn't increased with stopping Time Machine. Should I go ahead an reboot into normal mode, and run the "diskspeed docker" (I didn't know this was a thing before)? Also disk 3 is showing error now on dashboard. Attaching new diagnostics. palazzo-diagnostics-20231106-1100.zip

I'm still in safemode, so I have 0 plugins.

I have docker disabled, I don't have any vms. I was trying to think what would be writing to disk 6, turns out disk 6 has time machine. Cancelled the backup from my laptop. Is there an easy way to figure out what else may be writing to the disk?

New diagnostics attached. palazzo-diagnostics-20231106-0825.zip

I just sat down by my unraid server, and I can hear a drive doing the occasional click. I got a warning the other day about disk 3 seek errors, and picked up a renewed drive. Is there a way to tell if that's the drive that's making the clicking noise?

I cancelled the original sync. It had shown 0 correction written. I have started a new one in safe mode. Still showing a long time. I have also closed the browsers windows that I had open.

Well it said it detected a dirty shutdown. I just clicked the reboot button in the UI. Now it says it's doing a parity check and it's going to take 30+ days. Guess I'll see if it's running any faster in the morning. Also attaching some diagnostics from after the reboot. palazzo-diagnostics-20231105-2132.zip

I tried to pull diagnostics, but it just seems to hang. I was able to copy syslog to a separate share, and zip it up. I do have nerd pack installed, but it is not installing 'atop'. I'm gonna give it a reboot like suggested in fix common problems. 202311-05-syslog.zip

Awesome thank you! I'm back up and running.

Man there are some scary prompts going through that. palazzo-diagnostics-20231024-1257.zip

Shut down the server, pulled that disk, and re-seated it again. It came back up, and I was able to get the smart info for it. The UI is showing the disk as disabled. Is there a way to make that disk be re-enabled, so I can continue trying to sync disk 5, or am I just going to have to start over? That disk 6 is in a iStarUSA BPN-DE350SS-BLUE enclosure. I've ordered a new case that'll just fit the devices without this extra housing unit. When you say power/connection problem, could it have to do with an under powered PSU? I do just have a CORSAIR CX Series CX500 PSU in there. palazzo-diagnostics-20231024-0743.zip palazzo-smart-20231024-0742.zip

Well I got a new UPS yesterday, and got it charged up, and started running the sync again, and I just had another disk (disk 6) throw an error. Not sure what I do at this point. palazzo-diagnostics-20231023-1509.zip

Well my UPS died, and the system is powered off. It wasn't even a power failure from the grid. The UPS just is non-responsive at this point. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Guess I'll be going to the store tomorrow morning to get a new one, and starting over...

It appears that my disk 3 is having seek issues, and the rebuild is going to take forever. I'm guessing I'll just need to wait this out, and likely replace disk 3 when it's done. Is there any way to figure out what is slowing this all down? Would pause / resume help at all?
