[SOLVED] Array lost: Resync not possible after case change.

Featured Replies

Hello,
I have changed my unraid system from a tower case to a 19'' server case. Mainborad, disks and controller stayed the same. Power supply is different and the Chenbro RM23612 has a backplane.
After the conversion everything seemed to run fine, but after a short time the system reported a lot of read errors and kicked one data disk and one of the two parity disks out of the array. Then I installed a new 8TB disk as a data disk replacement and started the resync process. After about 2-3% there were thousands of read errors on other disks and the sync process stopped. 
I can do what I want, I can't get the array reconstructed.
I then mounted all the data disks individually and backed up the data to two drives (unassiged). This worked without any problems. Without error messages.

 

What else I tried:
1. "xfs_repair" on all disks.
2. change the SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 cable
3. selected several "replacement disks" for the failed data disk
4. cursed God and the world
5. was happy about the unraid concept (saved data)

I have attached the diagnostic files. Does anyone have any ideas?

If backplane and PSU are the only things that changed that's where you should begin, try with a different PSU first, if issues persist it's likely the backplane.

@JorgeB Yes. I now have a "flying" setup with an external power supply and I have the disks connected without the backplane.
So far about 65% of the rebuild is done - without errors.

 

Remaining problem causes:

 

  1. PSU
  2. Backplane (electronics)
  3. Backplane (mechanics (SATA connectors))
  4. Incompatibility between backplane and LSI SAS2308

How was the backplane powered ?

Is there a difference with your current temporary setup ?

 

For exemple, how many leads from the PSU, splitters, Molex vs SATA, ...

In the current, temporary setup I do not use the backplane. In normal operation, the backplane is powered with 4 Molex connectors (direct from PSU, no splitter).

I switched to another case with a new backplane. Works now fine for a while. THX.
