JorgeB Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 It's not logged as a disk problem and SMAR looks OK, still a good idea to run an extended test to confirm. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 More important than the 'read errors', disk1 is disabled, which you didn't mention. Emulated disk1 is mounted so that is good. There is 1 CRC error in SMART, you can click on the SMART warning on the Dashboard page to acknowledge it and it will warn again if it increases. You have to rebuild the disabled disk.

trurl Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Looks like this was during a parity check, but in addition to a lot of read errors, a lot of write errors were also logged at that time. Was anything writing to your server during the parity check? Do you have a spare disk you can rebuild to? Quote Link to comment

I don't see any Smart warnings on the DASHBOARD page? 3 hours ago, trurl said: Looks like this was during a parity check, but in addition to a lot of read errors, a lot of write errors were also logged at that time.

What am I doing wrong? I don't know if anything was writing during parity check, it starts at 2am. Unfortunately, I do not have a disk that I can rebuild to. I've already replaced 2 HDDs with new drives since this already happened in the past every time I try to do a parity check. I don't have the budget to buy new drives every time I do a parity check.

Or maybe you aren't looking in the right place. Post a screenshot 15 minutes ago, taflix said: What am I doing wrong? One thing you are doing wrong is having scheduled parity check set to correct parity errors. You don't want to corrupt parity if another disk or other problem such as bad RAM is causing parity errors. You should set the scheduled check to NOT correct parity, and then if there are parity errors, you can decide whether to correct them by running another parity check. Let extended SMART test complete. If it is OK should be alright to rebuild to the same disk. Do you have another copy of anything important and irreplaceable? Parity is not a substitute for backups Quote Link to comment

I didn't know that was a best practice thing and fixed it. It would help users if these "best practices" were implemented in the help. And, it would reduce the amount of support posts by helping users abide by best practices. Quote Maybe you already acknowledged it. Or maybe you aren't looking in the right place.

Every other month when I do a parity check, I have to go through this process -- Disk fails, unmounts, UNRAID says there are errors, but extended tests show no errors. Any ideas to help me figure out why and how to prevent this from happening again? I have a very vanilla setup. I only use this for NAS, no VM's, nothing else. Also, does "maintenance mode" disable READ and WRITE or just WRITE? Edited October 4, 2022 by taflix Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Like mentioned initially it didn't look like a disk problem, so most likely it's a power/connection issue, and if it has been happening with multiple disk the more likely that is. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I think you are good, except your appdata, domains, system shares are on the array. Ideally these would be on a fast pool. Docker/VM performance will be impacted by slower array, and array disks can't spin down since these files are always open Quote Link to comment

I use UNRAID only for NAS storage. I don't run any dockers or VM's. Have a great weekend man! Quote Link to comment
