Just another update - I have sorted out the ATA errors. The cause was not enough power to the back plane. I have a 24 bay hdd case with a back plane that has 24 sata ports and 6 molex power connectors. i had 2 lanes from the Power supply going to all 6 power ports. I disconnected 1 from each 3 ( 3 control 12 hdd and 3 control the other 12 hdd) power ports and added another lane of power so now its getting 3 lanes of power from the power supply. The ata errors have stopped completely i have started a parity check and its been going for 6 hours and not one error. Hope this helps someone ever experiencing this issue.

Switching to ipvlan sold the crashing issue. Which is most important!! Thank you. Replacing the cables did not fix the ATA errors. Need to find out which hard drives this issue is affecting or may be my MB sata ports or LSI card issue. But thanks for helping with the main issue.

Hello!, I'm having an issue with my server its crashing every 3-4 days. Becomes unresponsive and unreachable. II have noticed that i am getting ATA-errors, i'm not sure if that's was causing that issue. The server usually crashes after midnight when its doing nothing. I originally thought it was the backup it was doing of the docker apps which happens after midnight. I have disabled the backups and it still crashed. I have replaced all the Sata cables and the sas to sata cables with name brand but it still happened. A little history i have these 10tb seagate hdd's that a few people here had issues with and the LSI cards. Hard drives would go missing or just error out. I had to put all my 10 tb hdd's onto the motherboard Sata ports and all my 3tb wd hdd are using the LSI card. i have 2 cache drives using an internal PCI sata card and i have 1 nvme sata drive aslo using it as an incoming data drive for download coming into the server. any advice would be most welcome. I think my next step is to try safe mode. Could some one please look at my diags to see if there is any issue? For the Syslog it crashed some time between Jan 24 00:00:37 to Jan 24 15:29:47 which is when i came home from work and powered it off using the power button. Cheers and many thanks. gauntlet-diagnostics-20240124-2032.zip syslog-192.168.4.12.log

Hi All, So i decided to stop the parity check - reading in another forum that even if the drive is not readable running a parity check wont solve an invalid or missing drive. So i stopped the array and ran it it maintenance mode clicked on drive 4 and ran the XFS check.. It found a few errors so i took off the -n and ran it again. Stated to remount the drive and check it if its not there then to go back to maintenance mode and use the -L option. Did that and started the array again as normal and hey presto the drive and all files are back. It moved some files over to a lost and found directory. They were only a few jpg files nothing important. I've decided to run the check on drives 1 and 3 as Trurl noted to check connections. Which i also did before i ran the maintenance mode stuff. I will re run the parity check and make sure that's all in sync too. Thank you Happy i solved something by myself for once

Hi All, Over the last 3 days i have had lockups with my server. They happened during the night while i was sleeping. So unsure why its just started happening. First day it check parity and found 7 errors Second day i last time i checked it found 711 errors i don't think it finished its check third day (today) its checking parity again so far 1 error and its 7.8% through This morning i also noticed a lot of files missing. I check plugin fix common problems and its stated that unable to write to disk4 Drive mounted read-only or completely full. Begin Investigation Here. I went into main tab and clicked browse disk 4 and its come up as invalid path. its used 7.51TB and there is still 2.49tb free. Unsure if i should continue the parity check or restart in safe mode and do the drive check to disk 4. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks gauntlet-diagnostics-20230219-1149.zip

Bad news .. Started happening again just now for me. one of the new HDD's and one of the old ones at the same time.. Both have the updated firmware. I have connected them back on to the Motherboard.. get it stable again and try that EPC thing in the first post. Back in about 15-20 days let you know how it went

Hi All, I would like to say thanks for this thread solved my issue. I have 4 X ST10000VN0004 10TB HD's Had SC60 Firmware (purchased 3-4 years ago) and 2 X ST10000VN0008 10 TB HD's Has SC61 Firmware. (purchased 6 Months ago) Checked the Seagate website to see if there was any firmware updates and there was an update for the ST10000VN0004 10TB HD's which updates SC60 Firmware so SC61 Firmware. I was getting tons of read errors on the 4 drives and occasionally it would drop one of the drives when connected to my LSI card. When i connected the drives to my motherboard i had no issues for months. I tried replacing cables no luck, i have an LSI card and a HP expander took them off the expander and connected it directly to the LSI card no luck. In the end i though it was my sata back plane since the drives worked no probs directly on the motherboard. Didn't even think that a firmware on the drives could have a compatibility issue with LSI cards. Anyway happy its all sorted. Thanks so much.

Generally, to have a docker application be able to see files located on another server, or stored outside the array, you would use the plugin called "Unassigned Devices" to mount the appropriate shares. Yes i have installed this plugin and have these shares mounted using NFS However, on versions of unRaid prior to 6.2beta 20, in order for any docker application to see the files mounted by Unassigned Devices, you must stop the entire docker service (Settings - Docker), and then restart it. Yes they are mounted before the docker containers start If you are running unRaid 6.2beta 20+, then you need to adjust your volume mappings mode (usually either RW or Read Only) to be RW:Slave or Read Only:Slave) by editing the template, and then clicking "Edit" on the volume being passed to the container. Yes as spaceinvader said every directory mapping should be set to RW:Slave which i have double checked Any other ideas?

Hi, Hoping to get some help, I have two unraid servers and a synology diskstation. My synology and 1 of my unraid servers (astro) run as just data servers that hold all my files and VM's. My other unraid server (gauntlet) has all my dockers which include plex deluge sonarr radarr lidarr swag nextcloud bitwaderns only office .. etc and it also hold a lot of files as well. My issue is any docker container on Gauntlet that i use and map to directories to astro (both unraid servers) work fine for anywhere between 20 minutes to 2 hours and then all of a sudden just become empty. So lets say i have all my music on plex and the music directory is set to //astro/media/mp3/ with internal mapping to //MP3MUSIC/ so it maps you can see all the music directories plex plays them and then after say one hour the media files in plex come up as unavailable. When you edit the music category in plex the directory //MP3MUSIC is empty. I stop the container and then start it and the music category working again files are playable all music is there when i edit the category its all there.. Replete process.. and its not just music on the same server i also keep my movies they disappear as well. Its not just plex its also any other docker that i map directories to on that astro server. I just don't understand what's going on as the plex docker accesses the files on the local drives (itself gauntlet) with no issues and also the synology unit when i keep all my TV shows with no problems also. I just dont know enough to troubleshoot this issue, I have learnt a lot with the help of spaceinvader videos and others on youtube any help or ideas would be really appreciated Thanks

Ok, well i am happy to say i have sorted my issue out. Just in case anyone ever has this issue something for them to try. I download Crucial SSD software originally to check and see if there was a new firmware (which there wasn't) so i saw it had a sanitize option (which wipes the drive completely) i don't know what made me want to do it, but i did it and its working 100% .. Sits on 98-113 MB/s

I'm having the exact same issue. Except i am passing the SSD through and not using an image. ( Prim vdisk location --- Manual - /dev/drive/by-id/ata-ct480bx500etcetc) Mine starts fast at 100MB/s then drops after 10 seconds to 80MB/s then 40MB/s then to 0MB/s Then back up again for 4 seconds then drops back down until the file finished. By accident (didn't realise i could do this) booted into the drive bypassing unraid. Did the same test and same thing happened. Tried different Sata slots, Cables, Different drives (both same model Crucial BX500) I plan on Installing windows directly to the drive to see if i experience the same issue. If i do i would assume there just horrible drives or its a compatibility issue with the motherboard. Where i will try a different computer. anyway i will let you know the outcome.

This helped me thanks .. What i did was edited the plex.subdomain.conf file and replaced proxy_pass https://$upstream_plex:32400 with proxy_pass http://192.168.178.23:32400 <-- your local ip for plex .. My plex docker stayed at host Then the second part was you had to go into plex > Settings > network. under Custom server access URLs put the plex domain in i.e https://plex.yourdomain.com:443 i when to the domain and it worked. it asked me to sign in again and bingo! hope this helps someone ..
