jettrainz Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 For some reason, I am randomly getting errors on all non-NVME disks and am unable to access those disks until a full system restart (except the NVME because it did not error out). This has been happening for a few months now. Initially, it would only happen on one drive, so I replaced that drive. It was good for a while, but then had an error but did not require a restart. Today, for the first time, all of my drives (except NVME) have errors. I am not sure what is causing this. I have two SSDs and two HDDs. There are no shares that are on an SSD and HDD, but there are shares that are on both SSDs and both HDDs. The NVME drive is the only one not sharing shares with other disks (although I do not think that has anything to do with it). My motherboard is a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC ATX. I have heard that it is not the best motherboard to choose for RAID setups, but I assumed that was only a BIOS limitation and would have nothing to do with Unraid. Here is a screenshot of my disks: Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Unraid is NOT RAID. SSDs in the array can't be trimmed. Do you plan to have parity? Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread. Quote Link to comment
jettrainz Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Right, co mpletely forgot about providing log files. I have downloaded them and attached them here. However, this is after a system restart so I do not know how helpful they will be. At the time of posting these log files, the server had been up for about 1h 50m. asta-diagnostics-20220522-1547.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Diags are after rebooting so we can't see what happen, main suspect would be the SATA controller, quite common to have issues with some Ryzen boards, especially when under heavy load. Quote Link to comment

I was wondering about this. I hope this is not the case, because it would be a pricy fix to buy a new motherboard. Do you think I could use a PCIe SATA controller? I would need something capable of heavy consistent read/write loads. Do you by chance know of any Ryzen boards with "premium" SATA controllers? Next time it happens I will make sure to pull logs before restarting. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Just now, jettrainz said: Do you think I could use a PCIe SATA controller? Yes, BIOS update might also help, but first post new diags after this happens again so we can confirm if that is really the problem. Quote Link to comment

Alright, it happened again and I pulled diagnostics before rebooting this time. Here is the file: asta-diagnostics-20220526-1356.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 It does look like the typical Ryzen SATA controller problem, new BIOS or updating to v6.10 might help, if it doesn't best bet is to use an add-on controller. Quote Link to comment

I'll probably just buy an add-on controller though 21 hours ago, JorgeB said: updating to v6.10 might help I will try this Quote Link to comment
peterg23 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 😏 I thought there was a strong recommendation not to have SSDs in the array, but only in pools and unassigned devices. Quote Link to comment
jettrainz Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Is that true? I have not read anything about this, though I did a quick search and there was some talk about it a couple years ago. The SSDs I am using do not share shares with a HDD; not sure if that would matter but it feels messy to do that so I stay away from it Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 It's fine to have SSDs in the array, just be aware that they won't be trimmed. Quote Link to comment
peterg23 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Thanks JorgeB. @jettrainz, there is an interesting thread on this topic here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/53433-ssds-as-array-drives-question/#comment-522020 Quote Link to comment
