Matthews Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hi yall I have ran parity 3-4 times now, ran smart reports on drives if any are bad. Nothing. The only thing that is left is memory, bad sata cable. I have ran mem test before, nothing came up (didnt do it atm yet no time). Checked sata/power connections all good. Running parity, which states there are 41 errors, to fix those problems. Yet after running parity and yes i checked the "write corrections to parity" option, but after it finishes it states 41 sync errors. Im lost. I am about to do a parity swap & a data drive swap and I am waiting only bcs of these errors floating around! Anyone knows what the issue is for sync errors not getting corrected? h30-diagnostics-20211216-1046.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Log only shows one check, maybe the other one was non correcting, run another non correcting check and post new diags if it still finds sync errors. Quote Link to comment
Matthews Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 I had to reboot the server when adding new disks, maybe that is why? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Log starts over after every reboot, so no way of knowing now if the previous check was correcting or not. Quote Link to comment
Matthews Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Okay, im running another parity check atm. Will post log when done. Quote Link to comment
Matthews Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Weirdly it has corrected 66 errors currently! Not sure why it is finding more errors than the previous parity check. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Just a FYI - if you install the Parity Check Tuning plugin than (even if you do not use its pause/resume features) the Parity History entries will include extra information such as what type of check was run. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, Ill try checking it out. I am currently tho trying to remove plugins as I am having complete freezes while in normal mode, and can only do parity in Safe mode safely as it does not cause crashes. I am assuming one of the plugins is messing with stability, im assuming not a hardware issue (maybe ram) since it does i nicely in Safe mode. Quote Link to comment
Matthews Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 I left memory running all night. Seems like there are no errors. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 If it's not RAM the next suspects are a controller or a disk, since you're using controller with SATA port multipliers and those are not recommended anyway I would start by replacing that. Quote Link to comment
Matthews Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 I always had a feeling that controller will be a pain in the ass -.- Do you have any suggestions as to what are good & reliable that are plug & play (without updating any FW and such) but also not to expensive ones? This is a NAS built from spare parts that I had laying around and I have a limited budget atm since i just bought disks! Quote Link to comment

Hope it works well with my hw. Unplugged both new drives since they were hooked up to the old controller (with multipliers)! Will move all disks off the controller and now I wait for the new controller! Quote Link to comment
