exdox77 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Yesterday I spent most of the recovering from my cache drive filesystem becoming read only. I recovered and created a new pool with another brand new drive. Moved everything over and everything was working fine. This morning I woke up to the filesystem in the brand drive read only. I am at a loss to why this keeps happening, this is the third time this past couple of months this has happened.  I have attached the diagnostics. I do want to mentioned that if I reboot Unraid and restart the array, things work fine for awhile. hive-diagnostics-20221202-0713.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Have you done memtest? Quote Link to comment

If the USB drive is failing, could this cause these issues? I didn't see anything in diagnostics to make me suspect the flash drive, and don't see how a problem with that could corrupt another drive. Bad memory could easily corrupt a drive though.  Everything goes through RAM. The OS and other executable code, all of the data, everything. The CPU can't do anything with anything until it is loaded into RAM.  You shouldn't even attempt to run any computer unless the RAM is working perfectly.  Don't even attempt to run your server until you have verified it passes memtest.

exdox77 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) @trurl initial results do not look good. Looks like I will be ordering some memory.  Edited December 3, 2022 by exdox77 Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 It could just be bios settings for the memory. So try that first, making sure all overclocking options are disabled. Quote Link to comment

The memtest failed out because of too many errors. Running memtest on the new memory now. Quote Link to comment

exdox77 Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thank you everyone for your support. I purchased new memory yesterday, went with Corsair with the same advertised specs. Ensure the MB was configured correctly and did one last memtest last night. Everything passed with flying colors and Unraid seems to be running great. 1 Quote Link to comment
