Parity Disabled and don't know what other steps to take.


Recommended Posts

My parity disk became disabled and I started a parity check, but stopped it as I realized there's no point to it. I have a feeling it might be the sata cables or the sata controller on the motherboard as it happened to disk1 a day before and unraid hangs on "stopping array" for hours when I wanted to shutdown to inspect disk1. Which forced me to force shutdown the server. I have posted the diagnostics file before restarting. I really appreciate anyone who helps me figure this out.

Could be the typical AMD controller issue, or a power problem, there are also some IOMMU errors related to the GPU, if it's the former upgrading to v6.9 might help.

Well thinking I was fine, I had to stop the array and the other cache became corrupted as well as I started it up again. I have a question regarding the recovery options you linked. Do these have to be performed while the array is started in normal mode, maintenance mode or not have the array started? Thanks in advanced

I was able to restore everything back to normal on wednesday and everything was fine on Thursday, but this Friday afternoon. Parity got disabled and other disks were put to grey status as the picture shows. I couldn't stop the array since it was stuck so I had to do a hard shutdown. Could it be just a coincidence and had bad luck or does the diagnostics show the same thing again?
