That makes a lot of sense... 😳 Thanks for the quick reply and the support. R

Hi, I've had this error in my "Fix Common Problems" scan for quite some time. I can't see an obvious solution (despite searching) and it doesn't *seem* to impact my everyday server function so I've ignored up until now (I'm trying to square away any remaining niggles). I get the following error regarding Global Shares.... However, when I go to the Global Shares setting, you can see that there is no disks listed in "Exclude" and all the Array disks are listed in "Include"... Any ideas? Thanks in advance, R tower-diagnostics-20230902-1034.zip

Agreed. I've ordered a Dell H310 to replace the Marvell controller. I intend to crossflash with LSI 9211-8i firmware and then swap out.

Yeah... I think this might be the root of my issue. Can you recommend a good 6 port PCIe SATA expansion card? Further to my previous comment, I cannot get Disk 7 back online. I think the Marvell controller may have borked in the power-outage. I have mounted the original Disk 7 as an unassigned device but there is no data on it. I've attached the diagnostic. I have backups of most of the data so that's not too much of a big deal - I probably only lost some TV Shows and movies from the last month or so (no biggy). But, in terms of rebuilding the unRaid server, should I just start from scratch, or is there a relatively simply way I can I remove Disks 7 and 8 from the array and rebuild parity/array integrity with the data that is lest left on the array, then add them back as clean disks? Thanks for the help guys. Rich tower-diagnostics-20190711-2146.zip

Yep... i can't disagree with you here, especially after having read some of the other parts here in the forum (too late of course). Attached is my diagnostic output. I will check the original disk 7 stone tomorrow (is late here) and see if the contents are retrievable. Cheers Rich tower-diagnostics-20190711-1329.zip

Hi, I'm hoping to get some help on a corrupted(?) drive array... My server setup is as follows: - 4TB Parity Disk - 8 Disk array (ranging from 4TB to 1TB, total of 19TB) - 120GB SSD cache drive - 250GB SSD unassigned array The cause of the problem: While I was at work, my kids unintentionally turned off power to my unRaid Server (I know :)). They turned the power back on but things were not good... The problem: The drive array came back online, but one of the disks (Disk 7) was showing as unmountable (I think that was the term). After a few reboots, Disk 7 was shown up in the array with an Orange triangle symbol and the description "Contents Emulated". I tried a parity check but once it reached about 20% I got ALOT or errors. When I say alot, I mean > 15,000,000. But they are coming from 'Disk 8' which is listed with a green light. Needless to say I canceled the parity check. I thought maybe Disk 7 was damaged during the power interruption, so I swapped in a new drive I'd bought, stopped the array, loaded the new drive into the Disk 7 position, started the array, formatted the new disk and a parity check began automatically. Unfortunately, the same thing happened... after about 4% of the parity check, the errors started coming thick and fast (>1,000,000 when I stopped it) - again from Disk 8 (listed with a green light). I have attached a screenshot or my array Main page. Disk 7 is still listed in the array as "Contents Emulated" with a red cross next to it, and all the other disks have green lights next to them. All the dockers seem to load ok, but I'm a little unsure as to whether all my data (movies, tvshows, music, etc) in intact. My array is obviously listed as "Unprotected" due to the missing drive. Is my array hosed? Can anyone offer advice on how/if I can get a new drive into the Disk 7 slot? Can I swap out Disk 8 and rebuild the array (i.e. with 2 new disks in)? Do I need to just start from scratch again? What diagnositics can I provide? Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers, Rich
