Parity disk suddenly disabled. Can anyone help check why?

[jang430]

Parity says disabled all of a sudden.  Hope it's still usable.  I just bought it off ebay, used.  I performed a chacek using Seagate disk tools, long test, with no issue that popped up.  Just installed the drive onto NAS 2 days ago.

Diags are after rebooting so we can't see what happened, disk looks mostly OK, but there are already some ATA errors on multiple devices:

 

Apr 21 17:09:52 Tower kernel: ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
Apr 21 17:09:52 Tower kernel: ata4: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
Apr 21 17:09:55 Tower kernel: ata3: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
Apr 21 17:09:56 Tower kernel: ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
Apr 21 17:09:56 Tower kernel: ata4: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
Apr 21 17:09:59 Tower kernel: ata3: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)

 

This is the Intel SCU controller, which is not as rock solid as the normal one, the other 6 ports, could also be a power/connection problem.

Hi.  My board is X10SRM-TF, which has a single mini-sas connector, which splits to 4 drives.  I haven't checked where the Parity Drive is connected to though.  Whether it's on this mini-sas to 4 sata, or on the 6 individual SATA ports.

So the other drives you're talking about that seem to be experiencing problems may also come from the same connection?  It might be the cable?

Yep.

It's possible.

Thanks. Will replace cable.
