TRusselo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Ok wow. unraid 6.10 rc4 10 data disks, 2 parity. few nights back, opened up unraid and found Parity 1 and Disk 10 disabled, both are Seagate SAS Exos helium 10 TB drives. less than 2 years old. Installed 3 of those that day. the third is parity 2. the next day before i got to come here for help, my flash died. I Have no logs from the disk failures. Went to discord, nobody asked for logs or smart reports.... auto-answered - buy new drives when i finally shoved the smart reports in their face, they said drives are probably good. attached smart reports below fromt the 2 drives I was about to run a pre-clear on them and see if they pass. took array offline, removed the 2 disks from the config, was about to clear disk 10 from unassigned drives... but stopped and wanted to verify the data on disk 10 is being emulated on the array.. IT IS NOT. WTF? Parity 2 is still alive? where is my emulated disk? I NEED HELP!!!! new sas cable, HBA, and 10 TB drive are in the mail too. ============================= solution marked below BUT I LOST DATA. BEWARE. the disk had errors, the errors got tranferred to the emulated disk. fixing the emulated disk, and real disk failed to revover data! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ big-d-smart-20220425-2145.zip big-d-smart-20220425-2147.zip big-d-smart-20220425-2147.zip big-d-diagnostics-20220427-1508.zip Edited May 1, 2022 by TRusselo Quote Link to comment
TRusselo Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 i currently have disk 10 mounted and shared. can veiw it and my rootshare in windows. this is how im confirming no emulated files. should i copy disk 10 to the array? Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Stop right now at this point. Wait until someone has the time to work with you. When Unraid 'talks' about an emulated disk, it is the contents of the physical disk that are being emulated virtually. When you want to read a sector of that disabled physical disk, that same sector on all of the remaining disks in the array plus the parity disk(s) are read and that data is processed to recreate the data for that sector in memory of the disabled disk. You also need to post up your diagnostics file in a new post. The Gurus are going to want to see it to determine what is going on. Quote Link to comment
TRusselo Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I have stopped. thats why im here! ahh right forgot the daigs file. that should still work. as stated above my logs are gone. forgot about the diags. thanks. they have been added to post 1 and. i know what emulated means and how it rebuilds the missing disk. its not doing it as far as i can tell. there are missing files on my array that were on the failed drive. i cant find files on the array, but if i mount the failed drive as an unassigned drive, they are on that drive. Thats my problem at the moment. Edited April 27, 2022 by TRusselo Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Check filesystem on disk10. Quote Link to comment

There can be some lost+fond folders depending on how corrupt the fs is, keep the old disk intact for now. 10 minutes ago, TRusselo said: my main consern is the lack of emulation of disk 10 though Not sure what you mean, the disk is being emulated, but there's filesystem corruption so it's not mounting, it will once you fix that.

How do you know its emulating? If I open my "rootshare" on my windows machine, i cannot find files that were on disk 10. should I not be able to see those files if it is emulating the missing disk?

TRusselo Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) if I mount Disk 10 as unassigned drive, i can see the missing files or.. do i need to rebuild disk 10 for the files to be availble? new drive just arrived in mail NOW. Edited April 28, 2022 by TRusselo Quote Link to comment

I thought if a disk fails or removed, i could still access the files throught the array emulating the missing drive? is this not correct? my replacement drive just showed up.

Solution JorgeB Posted April 28, 2022 Solution Share Posted April 28, 2022 There's filesystem corruption on the emulated disk, once you fix that by running xfs_repair without -n it should mount and you'll see your files, I don't know how to explain that more clearly to you. Quote Link to comment
TRusselo Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) corruption on the EMULATED disk? OH.. i thought you wanted me to correct the DISK, not the EMULATED DISK that makes more sense. Edited April 28, 2022 by TRusselo Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yes, disk10 in the array, currently being emulated because it's disable, is the one with filesystem corruption, that's why it's not mounting and any data there is missing from the user shares. Quote Link to comment

TRusselo Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) FYI to future readers! I belive i found WHY this happened, a metal/grounded peice of the mini-sas connector touched the back of an ethernet card and shorted out~! I LOST DATA. the disk errors/ error correction lost almost 500 movies, 500 TV shows. the whole disk was not lost, but a large amount of it. disk 10 had errors, the errors got copied to parity data/emulated disk. fixing the errors on emulated disk did not recover damaged data.

TRusselo Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) thanks but wayyyy too late. disk 10 (orig) has been cleared. and im 99% sure it had the same corruption. but thanks anyway! Edited May 2, 2022 by TRusselo Quote Link to comment
