Read errors after upgrading two disks on 6.9.2


Recommended Posts

My setup was a Thecus N5550 with 6 drives installed:

 

1. Parity - WDC-WD121KRYZ - 12TB

2. Disk 1 - WDC-WD121KRYZ - 12TB

3. Disk 2 - HGST_HUH721212 - 12TB

4. Disk 3 - 3TB WDC Red

5. Disk 4 - 3TB WDC Red

6. Cache - Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256GB

 

I decided to upgrade Disks 3 and 4 to 10TB Ironwolf Pro.  There was no data stored on these drives, it just shows 69.8GB on each.

 

First I replaced Disk 3 with 10TB Ironwolf Pro.  Array rebuilt just fine and all was good.

 

Then, I replaced Disk 4 with 10TB Ironwolf Pro.  Array rebuild failed giving read errors on new disk.  So, I assumed new drive was bad, so I removed it and tried to return the original 3TB WDC Red.  Unraid then refused to accept it, claiming new disk needs to be larger than previous disk and expecting at least 10TB.  So, then I got a new 10TB Seagate Barracuda Pro and put it in Disk 4.  This rebuild also failed giving read errors.

 

Surely both of these new drives are not defective, so what gives

Multiple disk errors suggest a controller/power problem, since the controller is Intel I would start with power.

Well, I owe you a big thank you for this one!

 

The Thecus N5550 I had my disks in was at least 8 years old, so I decided to chuck it.  I have lots of parts laying around, so I constructed a server based on:

 

Asus X99 motherboard

Xeon e5-1620 CPU

16 GB Ram

...and all my disks.

 

I migrated everything to the new machine.  I poked around for a bit trying to get the machine to boot from the USB key, but when it did, it fired right up, automatically recognized all my disks, and presented everything to me exactly as it had been set up on the Thecus.

 

I instructed it to add Disk 4 to the mix (using the Seagate Iron Wolf Pro I had first tried), and 12 hours later it's all good!

 

Unbelievable.  I'm sold on UnRAID forever.
