Thanks for looking. Should I consider replacing the USB stick?

Can someone advise where the failure was? Does the disk need replacement? apollo-diagnostics-20221007-1728.zip

Can anyone help to see why my server periodically becomes unavailable via smb/ssh/cifs shares, yet the web GUI is always available. It has been fine for years, and suddenly this issue arose. FYI: Im currently running unRAID via vm on ESXi, but others VMs are not exhibiting this failure. apollo-diagnostics-20220705-0132.zip

I came home from vacation and my cache drive seemed to be dead (showing unmountable filesystem). I thought I disabled cache, but maybe this is why it failing; cuz the mover is trying to access a cache drive that is inoperable?

Can anyone advise why my shares keep disappearing. A reboot restores them for a short while and then they hide again. The syslog is spamming an issue with my boot USB. Does this mean it's dying?

I hope this is not in the wrong place: Im going away next week. My dad's sytem just took a nosedive (built it almost a decade ago) so he wants me to source him out another one (HDDS still good). Due to time constraints, I'm just gonna have to travel with the parts and build when I get there. Can anyone give me quick suggestions for MOBO + CPU + RAM. I think I'd prefer to use intel but not 100% opposed to AMD based. Main Use: Media Storage + Playback (Plex) Basic dockers used (SAB + Sonarr + Couch/Radarr) Further Virtualization (Windows VM) would be a nice to have but not necessary as this is basically used as NAS. Thanks in advance

I previously built a server for my father using an AZZA Helios 910 case with 9 hot-swap trays. Theres also a cache SSD that floats in the case. The case mechanics of the case power has kicked the bucket. Can anyone suggest a case that I can use as a replacement? Thermal efficiency is priority, as usual.

Earlier today I got email notification about read errors in the array and now my shares are unavailable. It's strange that it's a cluster of drives on the same controller which makes me think it could be a connection. Can someone please advise if I need to be worried. apollo-diagnostics-20210731-2207.zip

I am not seeing this despite using your vmdk. Am I missing something simple??
