kysriel Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hi there, I just revived my old unRaid system and unfortunately it seems like one disk is somehow not usable anymore. I get I/O errors during parity rebuild. I changed the cable but it is still having issues. It doesn't seem to want to do a SMART test. What infos can I provide? Quote Link to comment

kysriel Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 I had a 5.x.x running but managed to upgrade to 6.11.1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Disk dropped offline, that's why there's no SMART, you should check/replace cables and then post diags, assuming it's v6. Quote Link to comment
kysriel Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 I changed cables for new ones today. Restarted the NAS and did a short SMART Test. I'm starting an extended test right now cerebrum-smart-20221018-1657.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 SMART looks fine, most likely a power/SATA cable problem. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Yes, this changed since v6.10 IIRC. Quote Link to comment
kysriel Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Changed SATA cable and gave the drive a seperate power line (same PSU though since I don't have a spare one). While rebuilding parity again errors occured and the drive disabled. All other drives are fine. Since I'm thinking of upgrading the NAS anyways I could just buy a new PSU first. cerebrum-diagnostics-20221019-1936.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 If you used new cables it could be a bad disk, but PSU is also a possibility, try again after replacing which ever is more convenient to you first. Quote Link to comment
kysriel Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 I connected the disk in question to the PSU of my desktop PC (totally separate power connection). Still the same occured during parity build. What I noticed was, that at some point CPU load went to 100% on both cores and I wouldn't see any updates on the Main window. UI was still responsive. After the load dropped again, then I got the errors. Could this be a load issue with the CPU? Currently I'm trying to get a cheap i5-2400 and 8GB ram for a small upograde.

kysriel Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Thanks! Next I try another disk. Quote Link to comment
kysriel Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I got a new 3tb wd red and still face the same issue. Drive fails after approx 12% parity build with 1024 errors. Could it be the mainboard? cerebrum-diagnostics-20221024-0959.zip Edited October 24, 2022 by kysriel Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted October 24, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 24, 2022 First set the SATA controller to AHCI, it's set to IDE, then try again. Quote Link to comment
kysriel Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 Thank you so much! That was it. Parity is up again! I think the setting may have dropped because the MB battery died. 1 Quote Link to comment
