JorgeB Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Parity check is unrelated to the cache drive, I would either try it with the onboard SATA controller or try a different disk. Quote Link to comment
Sirkyle Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 ok, I'll cancel the parity check and swap the cable to the onboard SATA controller. Quote Link to comment
Sirkyle Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Swapped the cable direct to the MB. Attached new diagnostics tower-diagnostics-20210908-1423.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Same thing, so assuming the power cable was also replaced it looks like a disk problem. Quote Link to comment
Sirkyle Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Ok, thankfully that drive is still under warranty. Think the dropping of the user shares could be related to that problem? Quote Link to comment
Sirkyle Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 In the meantime ill go back to running the non correcting parity check Quote Link to comment
Sirkyle Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Ok, parity check finished with no errors, no user shares are currently mounted. And a new cache drive is on the way. diagnostics attached. tower-diagnostics-20210909-0545.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Rebooting without the cache device connected should bring back the user shares. Quote Link to comment

Note that if you try to run dockers/VMs without cache those are going to be recreated from scratch on the array, so best if you leave those disabled (in Settings - Docker and VM Manager) until you get everything copied to the new cache.

Sirkyle Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Got it, thanks guys, will report back in a few days Quote Link to comment
Sirkyle Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 So been awhile, replaced the cache with a new drive and things had been running fine all month. when parity check ran last night for the first of the month, it completed this morning with 0 errors, but seems like cache is offline again? No dockers available. user shares were offline. grabbed diagnostics before rebooting. I'll hold off rebooting. tower-diagnostics-20211001-1301.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Oct 1 00:00:31 Tower kernel: ata6: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) Oct 1 00:00:31 Tower kernel: ata6.00: link offline, clearing class 1 to NONE Oct 1 00:00:31 Tower kernel: ata6.00: disabled Cache device dropped offline, because of that there's no SMART, check/replace cables and post new diags.

Sirkyle Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 It’s on a set of brand new cables albeit it runs into a backplane. Doesn’t ever seem to be a problem until a parity check occurs. Should I just swap bays? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Parity check won't affect a cache device, try a different bay, if it keeps dropping try a new disk. Quote Link to comment

Sirkyle Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 switched to a new bay. diagnostics attached tower-diagnostics-20211001-1417.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Why are you using an SMR drive for cache? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 SMART looks good, but if it keeps failing on a different bay it could still be a bad disk, or like trurl mentioned caused by not enough power or some voltage drop when running a parity check. Quote Link to comment
