Cupid Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 So I did a data rebuild Monday upgrading a 10TB old disk to a new 18TB. I haven't had any problems with it all week. This morning I got a UDMA error count of 143 and 4,162 errors on the main array page under disk 4. The notifications said they were read errors. Any thoughts on this? tower-diagnostics-20221126-0736.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Looks more like a SATA cable problem. Quote Link to comment
Cupid Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Thanks for helping. If it's just. SATA problem, I guess it could have been much worse. I have a budget lsi hba card from eBay. So who knows if it's actually legit. What is the next step right now? I have a spare card and cables. I could swap everything out. But it's also an eBay card. I would be willing to pay much more for a quality one. I'm just not sure where to look. Am I safe to clear those stats? Will any of this affect parity? Thanks for all the help on this by the way. I'm sorry I can't contribute more. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I would start by replacing just that miniSAS cable, then run a non correcting parity check and look for more UDMA CRC and/or read errors. Quote Link to comment
Cupid Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Thanks. I'll do that. Quote Link to comment
Cupid Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 I just finished my parity check. zero errors. I guess that's good. Quote Link to comment

On E-Bay, you are buying the vendor. Particularly, with LSI cards. Those early cards (basically, the 9200 series) have not been made by LSI for 8-10 years! The only way to get a genuine LSI one is to buy a used one. As I said, buy the vendor and make sure that the vendor in your country. Check that the vendor has been around for a while that they have a very high satisfaction rating! You may pay (almost probably) a bit but you will probably get exactly what is being advertised. Don't be afraid to be looking at the used cross-flashed LSI cards manufactured for IBM and Dell. They are almost certainly genuine. Quote Link to comment

This is a RAID card and not cross flashed back to the LSI IT-MODE. (This will have to be done to use the card with Unraid!) The manufacturing date does look correct and I have never heard of anyone 'counterfeiting' IBM cards... IF you need cross-flashing instructions, Start here: https://wiki.unraid.net/index.php/Crossflashing_Controllers and here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/97870-how-to-upgrade-an-lsi-hba-firmware-using-unraid/#comment-902995 If that seems overwhelming to you, I have purchased cards ready-to-use in Unraid flashed to the proper LSI IT-MODE version from this E-Bay vendor and been very satisfied: https://www.ebay.com/itm/162958581156?hash=item25f1169da4:g:7sYAAOSwjMtcT8T8&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoJsjR7M3FuaakZ1zesxpGx4LZkrxnDsWekbTUIyOR%2BXDP%2F3BG0TkXeoWZVteyuMjBSWW4f53Lqakik6Q%2BKdROeSRBEHZ0UWt1M8aKiIkaynjS9DGan4GYjrYot%2FV1eJ%2Fqsf6IPATYa6XRFzAhJbDz5Nw5RFxOEbKtNCeU9qRagaRFxTaDVydduxrtPGCmF1IVysk8dMbQ5aEQrqrWNCMrpw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4j4wuaXYQ His prices are a bit higher than others but have a look at his reputation--- Almost 7000 satisfied customers. I suspect you are in Canada so this vendor is not in your country... 1 Quote Link to comment
