January 31, 20233 yr I have been running my Unraid system for a few years and moving my two parity drives from 8Tb to 14Tb drives. Here is what I happened, I received an error that one of my drives failed. I installed the new 14Tb replacement and the parity check started and completed nearly 3 days later. I then had one 8Tb and one 14Tb parity drive. I then removed the 8Tb drive and replaced it with the other 14Tb drive and now at about 30 minutes the system reboots and starts with the array stopped. I have tried booting in safe mode with no plugin and starting the array and parity check. This still causes the system to reboot at about 30 minutes also. I have tried moving the new parity drive to a different sata port and the reboot still happens. I removed my NVIDIA card and removed the NVIDIA driver and the reboot still occurs. The system is stable if I start the array and cancel the parity check. It just show that I have only one working parity drive and one disabled parity drive. Thanks in advance for helping me solve this issue.

January 31, 20233 yr Author I have enabled the syslog to the flash drive and started the parity check. I will upload the log once the system crashes and reboots. I have also corrected the diag file with the correct current file. 192.168.130.245-diagnostics-20230129-1757.zip
January 31, 20233 yr Author Well after 6 hours and 57 minutes and @ 1.42TB my system crashed. Here is the syslog from the flash drive. syslog

February 1, 20233 yr Author I have done a lot of work on my server. I have removed all unsupported plugins and removed the Raid controller and drives that were on that controller used in Unraid. I have started the parity check and will see if this solves my issues.

February 1, 20233 yr Community Expert Before you complicate things by removing that one Are you sure you don't have a power problem? If you boot up without starting the array, does it still crash?
February 2, 20233 yr Author If I don’t start the parity check it runs without issues. No power issues that I can see. The unit is connected to a UPS and it show no issues with power in/out. The issue I have is that for a good year everything worked until I started to increase the parity disks from 8Tb to 14Tb. The first drive worked without any issue. When I replaced the second drive this is when my issues started. Could the second drive be bad?

February 2, 20233 yr Author No power issues to the drives. I am trying an experiment, I removed the 14Tb drive that I used to replace the first 8Tb parity drive (which completed successfully). I am now using the second 14Tb drive and the parity check has run for 13.5 hrs and is at 5Tb. I will keep everyone updated if this completes successfully or not.
February 2, 20233 yr Author Here is an update on the parity status. The current largest drive with data is 8Tb, it has completed readying all the other data drives and is just moving to the end of the drive. Total size:14 TB Elapsed time:20 hours, 32 minutes Current position:8.05 TB (57.5 %) Estimated speed:126.0 MB/sec Estimated finish:13 hours, 7 minutes
February 3, 20233 yr Author Update - It failed. I came to check on it 4 hours later and the had server rebooted several times and failed the parity check. From Syslog looks like it rebooted three times in quick succession. Line 58133: Feb 2 17:05:04 Line 61109: Feb 2 17:20:24 Line 64085: Feb 2 18:17:12 Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. syslog_8
February 3, 20233 yr Community Expert Unfortunately there's nothing relevant logged, suggest it's a hardware problem, start by using a different PSU, if available.

February 6, 20233 yr Author Changed my hardware of my server and started the parity check again. The parity check has completed to 9.37 Tb and is at the point where it failed the last two times before. I am hopeful that it passes with the changed hardware. Here is what I am using for my server: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z97M-PLUS American Megatrends Inc., Version 0330 BIOS dated: Thu 29 May 2014 12:00:00 AM PDT Intel® Core™ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz Ram: 32 GiB PSU: 1000W I have attached the latest diag file and syslog for everyone's review. 192.168.130.245-diagnostics-20230205-0705.zip syslog_10
February 6, 20233 yr Author Solution Great news, with the different hardware my parity check finished. Thank you to trurl and JorgeB for giving me great advise on what could be wrong.
