Thank you for the assistance. I managed to pinpoint the issue over the weekend. While attempting to access the flash drive logs, the system repeatedly shut down. This led me to suspect the PSU as the likely culprit. Fortunately, I had a spare PSU on hand, so I swapped them out. However, even after the swap, the system booted up momentarily before shutting down again. This prompted me to shift my focus to building a replacement system, as my aging i5 650 was showing signs of wear. I had been waiting on a secondary PSU for the replacement build, but I decided to forego that and instead transferred the flash drive contents to the new board. I then installed the old drives into the new case and powered it on. To my delight, the Unraid system sprang to life seamlessly – it's truly a marvel. Now, with everything up and running smoothly, my perfectionist tendencies have me pondering one final question: how can I eliminate these lingering errors from the old system? They stem from power cable issues, which were part of the motivation for the new build. Once again, thank you all for your invaluable assistance throughout this process. The fancy magic of Unraid never ceases to amaze me.

here is my scheduled settings - Im not sure how to get into the flash drive logs - thanks again for your help

I hate asking dumb questions but can you link me to a page that may explain this better - because I cannont seem to find it. all the best

I have an issue. I have Parity check set to run monthly, but recently it just seems to start up on it's own and i have no idea why can anyone help? it almost feels like my server has been hacked so weird. server-diagnostics-20240416-1416.zip

Hey everyone, just scored this for $50! I'm excited because I'm planning to use it to build my second Unraid box. It's got a S2400SC2 server board with 2 Xeon E5-2400 processors, along with 16GB of RAM, but I have enough spare memory to max it out. I also want to add my 1060 GPU to it. Just wondering if this setup is doable or if I might encounter any foreseeable issues. Thanks in advance for the support!

thank you for all you help I figured it out, i was also having problems the the array stopping seems to be a random issue with build 6.12.2 - Data rebuild is in the works

thank you so I changed cables and re booted and now the new drive is showing up in unassigned devices didnt want to press the mount button without checking first and alsodisk 3 is showing up as not installed thanks again server-diagnostics-20230707-1546.zip

I recently had one of my drives get the orange thumbs down message so I am in the middle of replacing the old drive with a new drive now the dashboard now says array has 1 failed drive and the new drive shows a red x and the read check is paused what do i do? do i unpause the read check? and will red x go away after the array is done rebuilding? thanks for the helps Darron server-diagnostics-20230707-1302.zip

server - i5-650 16g memory 18tb - plex media So I woke up to this and just following the instructions to post Diagnostics here on the forum and ask for help - not sure what to do - any ideas other than a reboot? thanks in advance Darron server-diagnostics-20230108-1526.zip

thank you

Thank you everything Server has returned to normal - last question I hope so to replace the parity with a larger drive is it just the same as Stop the array. Remove the Parity disk form the array. install new larger Parity disk assign the disk. Start the array to begin rebuilding. Wait for the rebuild to complete.

thank you, I have a spare 3tb replacement so to get this back up and running I would Stop the array. Remove the dsabled disk form the array. Start the array so it will be registered as missing. Stop the array. install new disk assign the disk. Start the array to begin rebuilding. Wait for the rebuild to complete. is this correct? thank you

also I was planning on enlarging my parity drive - after reading it looks as if I should do this first, before attempting to repair the red x drive - is this correct and is it as simple as changing out parity drive for larger one

can anyone tell if the drive is bad and needs replacing or was it the controller

Ok so installed new controller and have upgraded to newest version of unraid everything seems to be working - how do I fix the red X issue on drive 4 thanks for the help server-diagnostics-20220810-1921.zip server-smart-20220810-1922.zip

sorry for the noob question but is it just a matter of powering down the unit and installing the new controller or do have have to keep the sata cables in a certain order?

sorry I bought the ASMedia ASM1166 they look identical and I grabbed the wrong image this is what I bought

thank you, so I ordered this - I have yet to touch my server since I dont want it to crap out - I have also ordered an HGST Ultrastar (HUS726060ALE610) 6TB as while I'm doing all this upgrading I would like to upgrade my Parity drive to 6tb as I understand this will allow me to increase my allottable drive size in the array. sorry if this is bothersome but I do apricate your help thanks Ill let you know when the controller arrives - in the mean time should I just leave the server running , spin down the drives, or stop the array or leave well enough alone until the controller arrives

any recomendations for a cheap controller that can handle 8 drives

is there a new link with directions to either replace the existing hard drive or try to see if it comes back online - it looks like this has happened before to me and someone posted a link with instructions but the old link give a 404 error now

yes the controller is the common link but it looks like the cache is fine from dashboard - should I fix the drive first and then upgrade to new version of unraid or upgrade first and then fix drive its been a few years since I built this thing and have forgot a ton

what is VT-d? I just run plex and then also use to back up my computers with synctoy that's about it sorry for the old version of unraid I am from a age of if it aint broke dont fix it plus she has been running great for a couple years

is this the correct diagnostics

here we go server-diagnostics-20220804-2020.zip

So as stated I have a red x on drive 4 of a 5 device array - I have a replacement drive ready if needed but am not sure how to proceed - do I just stop the array - then power down the server - replace questionable drive with new drive - then reboot and let unraid do its job or is there more to it? thank you in advance for all your help server-smart-20220804-1129.zip
