Unraid 6.9.2: help needed - drives keep getting write errors

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi - I have recently swapped out a marvel controller as kept getting drive errors and thought it was that as it isn't supported.  I am still getting drive errors but nothing showing up in SMART on any of the drives.  I am having to drop out drives from the array and re-add a lot now, please help as its driving me crazy!

This is happening with multiple devices:


 

Jul 26 07:55:05 Tower kernel: sd 10:0:3:0: Power-on or device reset occurred
...
Jul 26 07:55:24 Tower kernel: sd 10:0:5:0: Power-on or device reset occurred
...
Jul 26 07:55:41 Tower kernel: sd 10:0:4:0: Power-on or device reset occurred

 

This is usually a connection/power problem.

You should check data and power cables on both sides and also limit the use of power splitters.

Still getting drive failures, I have played around and changed cables, psu etc but still getting errors.  They always seem to be disks that are running on the controller not direct on the motherboard.  Do I need to do anything in the bios to that pciex16 channel? I have never hooked up this sever to a monitor so everything is default.  Motherboard is strix 8450-f

Usually not, try the controller in a different PCIe slot if available, if that doesn't help try a different controller.
