September 9, 20214 yr Hi! I've just discovered that my Parity 2 disk has been disabled and is in error state 07-09-2021 18:50Unraid Parity 2 errorAlert [TOWER] - Parity 2 in error state (disk dsbl)MB3000FCWDH_Z1Z0VEQ50000C348AX17_35000c50056c10d63 (sdm) Surprised I haven't noticed sooner! On the day that the drive has been disabled I did replace my CPU coolers so it's possible I've knocked the cabling a little and I know the temperatures are rather high (hot weather at the moment). I've attached the diagnostics log, would anyone be able to help determined if the disk is at fault or possibly just been disabled because of cabling or something? Thanks! tower-diagnostics-20210909-1149.zip
September 9, 20214 yr Community Expert Looks more like a connection problem, check/replace cables and re-sync. 7 minutes ago, jsN said: Surprised I haven't noticed sooner! Make sure you enable system notifications.

September 9, 20214 yr Author Thanks JorgeB! I did notice a little kink on one of the cables, hopefully it was just this, currently resyncing/building so fingers crossed
September 9, 20214 yr Author Ok just hit the same problem, disk has disabled itself and showing errors Could this just be the cable possibly damaged because of the kink or do I have a failing disk? - Attached logs tower-diagnostics-20210909-1430.zip

Thanks JorgeB, I was unable to swap cables between parity1 with 2 due to the internal layout - parity1 connects to 1 HBA and parity2 connects to another on separate fan out cables with restrictions between the disks so it's a little awkward to do this. I've replaced the disks cable with a spare off the same SAS fan out and currently rebuilding. If this isn't successful should I replace the disk and try again?
