Ok I can connect to it on my phone but not any PC in the house. Weird

I did search the forums and most solutions have to do with the boot disk? I have an install that has been running for over 5 years. I updated it recently but other than that nothing has happened other than installing a new 10GB switch and rebooting the Unraid server. I can ping the server. It shows up in my router table. I can get to all of my drives and shares. When I goto the webUI address its not there. From the server (I have a monitor attached) I can ping the gateway and every device on the network. I have restarted it 4-5 times, unplugged it and plugged it back in, sacrificed a goat, nothing works.

So. I tried to connect to the console and it was blank. No prompt. I then tried to write, nothing would show up. I jumped on my PC (I was on my Mac) and on my pc ALL OF MY DRIVES show up. Not sure what or how my Mac OS can be blocking the drives from showing (its still blank on my Mac) yet on my PC its absolutely fine. I can use it as normal. I am on Safari. Gonna try another browser. Microsoft Edge on my Mac works absolutely fine. I am sorry about this. It appears its some sort of OS browser issue. (oddly enough I am unable to upload any photos on safari to any web UI as well).

I did not. What is the command to do so?

Also cannot download diagnostic. It just stalls.

I have a serious issue (to me) that just popped up. I was having issues with my server so I got a new case with a new backplane and power distribution. Yesterday I rebuilt it and it seemed to be working fine. Parity repaired the one bad drive. I managed to copy a bunch of my photos off to my desktop array. This morning the server was still running. I went to update one of my dockers and it said it was not connected to the internet. I rebooted the server and when it came back up there were NO drives listed. Another thing is that it says that its connect to unraid and then it disconnects regularly. I also cannot download a diagnostic report. Every time I run it it just stalls and never downloads. Steps I have done: - Replaced the SAS controller with a different model - Rebooted with no cards in it other than SAS controller. No matter what I do I cannot find the drive.

Let me summarize what the issue was for anyone that might fall down the rabbit hole I did in months/years to come. I had an older case without a proper backplane. During a simple install of a 10GB NIC upon reboot I noticed that I had a couple of drives with red * on them. They were my oldest drives so I assumed (incorrectly) that they somehow blew up during the install. I then tried to trouble shoot it through UNRAID whereas it was always a power issue. My case, being it didn't have a proper backplane and power distribution, I was using a daisy chain SATA power cable that split off from a standard SATA power connector. Somehow during the NIC install I must have broken one of the wires or traces? Not sure but that simple break caused me to chase issues that were not related to the OS. Solution: I broke down and purchased a proper 12 slot 2u Rack chassis and reinstalled all of the drives. Initially upon boot 2 of the drives that had power issues during the troubleshooting were unmounted. I used the command xfs_repair /dev/md1 -L and xfs_repair /dev/md3 -L. This repaired the file system enough so that the parity could be written. Thanks to Turl and itimpi (although they came in later it was their post on fixing unmountable drive that I referred to when fixing these).

I restarted the array and.... WAHOO!! Its working! Happily repairing Disk 3 (which by the way was never a problem all along but somehow got corrupted with all of the power faults). Thank YOU ALL especially @trurl for sticking with helping me out. I have to say I spent a few nights feeling sick to my stomach. I purchased a dropbox business account with unlimited data and will be backing up to that + my 27TB desktop array along with getting another parity drive.

I just ran the repair with -L and it completed but both are unmountable. Should I restart the array?

Yes I have. It immediately started parity rebuild however was acting strange (to me I have never been in this situation with Unraid). It looked like it was reading from all of the drives and writing to Disk 3. It was somehow reading from disk 1 although it was also unmountable. I am assuming it was virtual.

Both. GUI first stab at it and command line for next 2

Ok I have run xfs_repair /dev/md1 and xfs_repair /dev/md3 on both drives it says it was successful and done but both drives still say unmountable. What would be my next step?

Here is Check -n for Drive 1 (Also unmountable) Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... totally zeroed log - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps... sb_fdblocks 609418691, counted 610885709 - found root inode chunk Phase 3 - for each AG... - scan (but don't clear) agi unlinked lists... - process known inodes and perform inode discovery... - agno = 0 - agno = 1 - agno = 2 - agno = 3 - agno = 4 - agno = 5 - process newly discovered inodes... Phase 4 - check for duplicate blocks... - setting up duplicate extent list... - check for inodes claiming duplicate blocks... - agno = 0 - agno = 2 - agno = 5 - agno = 3 - agno = 4 - agno = 1 No modify flag set, skipping phase 5 Phase 6 - check inode connectivity... - traversing filesystem ... - traversal finished ... - moving disconnected inodes to lost+found ... Phase 7 - verify link counts... Maximum metadata LSN (4:3113599) is ahead of log (0:0). Would format log to cycle 7. No modify flag set, skipping filesystem flush and exiting.

Ok this is the result for Disk 3 running the check -n Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... - reporting progress in intervals of 15 minutes Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... - 08:48:32: zeroing log -

Here are my diagnostics. tank-diagnostics-20220113-1235.zip

Ok, I am back. Well the server is sorta. I hope its fixable. I have a brand new case, one with a proper backplane. SAS controller and power distribution. The server is running however there are 2 drives that say unmountable. Where we last left off the drives were "failing" marked red because (I believe) the daisy chain power cord was bad. Now I have proper power distribution all of the drives appear online however the 2 drives appear unmountable with 1 being repaired with parity rebuild. What should I do at this point? Should I let it go and repair it? Then what? Thanks (next post I will post diags)

I think I understand. I have not formatted any disks just trying to recover them via parity. When the array is up (I turned the whole system off for now while waiting for my parts), and there are no missing drives, (that started after replacing the motherboard), I can copy the files off the array. That is encouraging because I can save most of my work. I really do feel its a power cable. I have had this system running for around 6 years now and it has had many different motherboards/cases/drives. Because the current iteration is a 4u case (Way too big) But only has cages and not hot swap via a backplane I am running SAS split out to individual connectors and a daisy-chained SATA power cable. I think its that power cable. I do not have a spare of that but my new case is arriving Tuesday. The new case has a fully powered backplane and has 2 standard SAS ports that I can plug into my card. I have also ordered a new sas card to have as a backup. With the new case I can isolate the issue being cables and power which will help a ton right now. Thanks again for your help. Hoping once I rebuild it will be functional and I can mark it as solved.

Installed new Motherboard. Now 4 drives are missing. I am beginning to lean that its the power supply or cable for power. The 3 drives are all on the same daisy chain sata power cable. Reason I am leaning more towards that is 2 of the missing drives are plugged into the motherboard and not the controller (as I was out of room on the sas controller). My new case coming has 16 slots on a single backbone (Power and SAS). I may wait until it gets here (Tuesday) to test this out any further as to preserve the drives and my sanity.

I am testing a backup motherboard as I am running out of ideas what it might be. Its very random. Boots are insanely slow. I have several old mobos around. Testing a new one now

I am going to hold off doing anything physical for a little bit. Its back up and supposedly repairing the array with parity. I think its moving the parity bits to the working drives as they are being written to. I am going to try to get my most important stuff off asap. I have ~30TB on my desk. Going to move as much there as I can. I have new parts (including a new controller) coming next week so I may just limp along grabbing what I can. Not ideal but its mildly doable. Once I migrate the system to the new case + new controller I will write back with how its behaving.

Ok its back up but the drive says its unmountable. I did get my files back I assume that drive is being replicated through parity. Trying to get my most important files off before it goes down again. Any tips would be appreciated at this point. I realized the reason it was blank was because I had started it in maintenance mode. Im scrambling right now trying to save my work so forgive me if I make a mistake.

Holy crap. I connected to it and everything is gone. I have no shares and the drives are empty. Is there any way to fix this? Archive.zip

So it was rebuilding and then it froze. I had to hard reset and when I did this is what came up. Whenever I reboot a different drive shows up as red dot. It is moving around. I cannot rebuild the array now because when I start it throws 100% errors. It was useable I was starting to transfer my pictures off to my local drive and thats when it froze.

Now I am going to add a 2nd Parity and get a few new drives.

I think we are good! I had to sleep and quit panicking. So your solution DID fix the array. I was sure to follow it exactly and at the last step my server said "Unmounting disks... retry unmounting disk..." and it stuck there. I found on another thread to reboot the server. When it came back up It was unmounted and ready for rebuild. I am rebuilding now and I think its good to go. THANK YOU.
