Problem seems on ST4000VN000-2AH166 ( disk 3 ), it haven't response to HBA on-time, so HBA reset again and again, this will affect all disk which connect to HBA.
You should disconnect the SATA link at disk one by one, then keep track the log until HBA no more reset, this could narrow down the cause a bit.
That would show up as an error in the system log right? The problem there is my disks are getting disabled which requires a full rebuild afterward. I swapped the sata cables and I'm doing rebuild right now. I haven't seen any errors yet.
-
Before shutting the system down or anything, I started the array in maintenance mode and started a read check. So far it hasn't given any errors. So is it likely that the problem is that one HDD? Disk 1 was the drive that got disabled in both occasions? But if it's just that disk, does it make any sense for unRAID to report errors on the other disks? Also the SMART stats for Disk 1 didn't indicate any issues either.

v 6.8.3
After moving my unRAID over to a different motherboard I've encountered read errors which I might be the fault of my LSI expansion card. This is the second that resulted in a disk getting disabled. I originally though it had something to do with my UEFI boot setting since the first time happened right at start up. See topic below. This time, the server was running for a couple days before it randomly happened.
Does anyone have an idea of what the issue is specifically? Is it the expansion card? Or could problem still be my HDD that got disabled? Before migrating over to the new mobo, I had zero issues for a year and half. So I'd surprised if the card simply started dying out of nowhere. One notable difference is I have 4 HDD's connected to the card instead of two.
What are somethings I can try before buying a new card? Is it possible the card is overheating? (unlikely due to when the errors popped up)
Is there any chance a mobo BIOS update will do anything?

Eventually but very likely when your appdata and also your docker.img and libvirt.img is on the array.

This should not affect the spin down, is the USB device capable of spin down and also does it report that correctly, eventually this is the problem.
I think half the issue is the UD plugin since I confirmed it didn't spin down the drive after 15 minutes. But apparently upgrading to 6.9.X (from 6.8.3) may fix the problem. So I will try that a little later

This is really strange since I don't experience this issue on my server.
Maybe it's my configuration? If my appdata folder is on the array, would a running docker keep it always active? For the USB drive, I have it enabled as a share. I'm wondering if that affects the UD plugin spin down behavior. My one other UD share is a SSD and it was active this morning as well. But I previously haven't payed any attention to whether it's label ever changes to spun down or not

I recently used luckybackup for the first time where I'm backing up to a USB drive with the UD plugin. And I ran into a couple issues.
1) It appears luckybackup was keeping my array active (drives not spinning down) when not syncing anything.
2) The external USB drive never spins down even when not in use.
Does someone know how I can address this?
-
Okay I honestly think that boot mode setting was the cause. The array is working fine in emulation mode. I will work on fixing the disabled disk now
-
Yeah I switched over to a different motherboard and everything seemed good initially. But Now I'm getting a read errors where one of disks automatically got disabled. I've attached diagnostics. I stopped the array which took a very long time. Advice on what went wrong and how to proceed would be greatly appreciated
Edit:
I rebooted the system to change a UEFI boot setting back to see if that caused an issue with my LSI sata expansion card. It seems like everything to card is having issues.

Update:
So I'm fairly certain my issue was from disabling legacy boot mode on my motherboard. On my other motherboard, doing that just let me bypass the LSI boot screen to speed up my overall boot time. I'll leave this post up for the off chance someone else encounters the same issue.
Is it likely that some of my data got corrupted? Before I was able to shut the array down, there a small of write activity to each of the disk? unRAID also seemed to be attempting sector fixes to the other disks based on what the "fix common problems" app was telling me.

So I have a USB DAC I want to use in my VM. Initially I tried passing just the device to the VM. But when playing audio I would periodically (like every 8 seconds) get these pop/crack sounds. I'm not sure if that's a good way describe it. If the audio playing is busy enough, the pop is subtle enough to be missed.
After that, I tried using the USB PCIe card passed through to the VM. The result there was much better. But I'm stilling getting pops every 30 to 90 seconds. Updating the drivers didn't help. Changing USB cables didn't help. Ideally I'd use the optical output on my motherboard. But I was unable to pass though the audio even when using ACS override. I also tried doing the MSI audio fix. But that doesn't seem to do anything for my USB audio.
Edits:
CPU core and it's hyper thread are also left out of the VM like is suggested on other threads.
I disabled the MSI fix for my USB devices, and I think I saw an improvement. But I'm not 100% sure
I also tried messing around with the different bit depth and sampling rate settings. That may have had some influence. But nothing fixed the issue.
Does anyone have an idea of a fix?

Sry Guys if i pull this bit older thread back up, got myself a 30 series card today and need some more information.
As i had an AMD Card before i only needed to put the vbios into me VM Edit page and that worked nicely.
With the 30 Series, i did that aswell but i wont get an output on my screen. So one question does the vbios dumps from GPUz need to be edited as before on older Gens and if so it seem like the Hexedit seems to be different from what spaceinvader showed in his videos with older Gen Nvidias.
Thanks
I'm not sure so I recommend using the command line method to dump the VBIOS. Also you may not actually need two GPUs as suggested. You might save yourself some hassle by restarting the system without any videos cables connected.

I was lucky enough to grab a 3070 today, I popped it in my unraid setup. It was super easy to passthrough, only video and audio, it doesn’t have a usb controller like the 20xx series
but usually when my vm is off (with previous cards 1660ti and 1080super) the GPU fans stop spinning. But with the 3070, the fans never stop
anyway to solve this?
I believe whether a GPU has a zero RPM mode for it's fans is governed by its VBIOS or firmware. Check if the OEM provides alternate firmware for it

@zeus83 Thanks for letting us know. I'm now trying to get a 3080 to go with my new LG CX TV I ordered today because of a sale. I really wish I got into the EVGA queue earlier lol.

can someone please explain what is the issue with the sleep plugin? I am running a Asrock Taichi z370 motherboard intel cpu . The server goes to sleep but when the keyboard is pressed the server boots /hard drive spins but I get no picture? The system is clearly on but can no see anything on the screen , so i have to press the power button to shut it off. I am using the IGPU on the processor and have turned on S3-S4, 5 in the bios , nothing sees to work
What could be the issue? I tried using a ps2 keyboard thinking it was something to do with usb being plugged in .
Not sure what else to do? can you help suggest something? Maybe I need a ASUS motherboard? different brand?
dont get this
You aren't using a VM are you? That wouldn't work with putting the whole system to sleep.
-
It would be nice if we could have different excluded for each day of the week on the Sleep Plugin. Is there maybe a workaround to achieve this? Is there a command (after wakeup) I could execute where it would check the current day of the week and tell unraid to not sleep for the next X hours?

When the Debug mode shows no ethernet traffic and the drives are definately spun down than that could be a bug introduced in one of the last versions of the S3 Sleep Plugin. I think the root course was the integration of hdparm in the process of determinating if a drive is spun down.
I patched that out and since then the script works as expected and reliable.
I know that some people have that problem, but the script was never reverted back, althought i mentioned that problem some times here.
Up until now, I've been using a modified of the S3 sleep plugin which was recommenced to me in the above post. The problem was the plugin wasn't reliably detecting when all drives were spun down. Does anyone know if the current version of the plugin, or unRAID 6.8+ resolved this issue?
-
Thanks, I will give your version a try. I wish there was dedicated forum threads for each these plugins.
-
So I'm still having a problem where S3 Sleep is erroneously detecting drive activity (and then not going to sleep). What is criteria for hard drive activity occurring? I assumed it was checking if the drives were spun up. But that doesn't appear to be the case. At the moment, my best guess of the root cause is one of my windows PCs (that remain on most of the time) is somehow causing the issue. Anyone have an idea?
I've attached a screenshot of plugin config. EDIT. I wanted to have this image as just a clickable item you could expand. Is that not possible?

On the occasions where your machine doesn't sleep is is possible Cache Directories is chewing CPU for you, too?
No any CPU activity spikes I've seen have always been temporary (and I assume are due to normal activity). So I don't believe I've had that particular issue. Based on the debug logs, it's always because of detected array activity. But I still haven't confirmed what's been pinging my server so much.

If you enable debugging in the plugin's settings, I believe that you'll see why it didn't go to sleep going forward. (By looking at Tools - Syslog). If I was to guess though, it was because of a drive spun up (which *could* be caused by Cache Dirs)
Thanks, I forgot about that option. The system ran throughout the night again and according to the syslog, it was detecting drive activity. I'll try disabling Cache Directories to see if that fixes the issue. Usually when I've encountered this issue, unRAID would show all drives being spun down when I checked in the morning. So I didn't think it was the plugin misbehaving.

S3 Sleep, Unreliable activation.
I have my unRAID server setup to go to sleep after a period of inactivity. Most of the time it works as expected. But frequently I would leave the server untouched over night and find out the next morning it never automatically went to sleep. Whether it works correctly seems random. Do you have an idea on what could be causing the issue? The only other plugins that run automatically daily are Dynamix SSD TRIM and Cache Directories. I don't imagine those being the issue.

You did confirm the performance was bad with multiple games right?

Some Googling showed that the error could be result of corrupt file system. I ran Windows Chkdsk and it found no errors. Against my better judgement, I decided to delete the empty partition shown in the screenshot and now it can't boot properly. I guess I will do another fresh install of windows.

The problem is there's no errors most of the time. So if the array isn't active, it seems especially unlikely for the error to occur.
What line in the system log did you find that the issue started with disk 3?
