March 5, 20233 yr Hi all, Had a really not old drive go down today, bit suss, threw another spare drive in just cause I had one and the rebuild speed is really slow (400kb/s). I suspect there is a problem is cabling but dont know how to even start reading the diogs. Attached them below, grateful for any help theark-diagnostics-20230305-2037.zip
March 5, 20233 yr Community Expert Looks more like a controller problem, controllers with SATA port multipliers are not recommended.
March 5, 20233 yr Author OK so I have taken the new sata card out and started everything back up and the rebuild is happening much faster but now have the #3 disk being 'Unmountable: wrong or no file system" as well as the #1 disk showing the same. #3 was the only 'new' drive. Diogs attached theark-diagnostics-20230306-0714.zip
March 6, 20233 yr Community Expert 14 hours ago, Nathan Knight said: you mean the sata port cards? Yes, and you are still using it in the last diags, see here for some recommended models, only one you've replaced that you should attempt the new rebuild.
March 6, 20233 yr Author this be ok? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/255724690177?hash=item3b8a611b01:g:DoEAAOSwHXFjIIbY&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoOW3%2FxyTSti52hrHmf4gw55U3OAPP9J0RJ0Qs99mZuSZC%2Br9HOGaECOvvjYjcuOYmN1JBIGE6ZaFVQB4tjns6xBd9f45WUHnvbLKL78NwH6AzAEgfVtWCFcGDgqplMjkJsB33jW4bDWnOUGDCT8JCs16mPVfdU72dcbUPPvf%2Bdo18a3SbCSQMr8eZwluCZ4WDvNowUkAWXfA%2BF7dDKdWrmg%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR47m8efWYQ
March 6, 20233 yr Community Expert You will likely still have to deal with the unmountable disks, but you want to do that with the new controller, post new diags after array start once you have it.
March 14, 20233 yr Author New card put in and I got the disc mounted again but something still not right, I have backups of all the data so don't care about losing anything. Everything just seems to be struggling?? theark-diagnostics-20230314-2220.zip
March 14, 20233 yr Community Expert That's a Marvell controller, not the Asmedia linked above, those are not recommended with Unraid, but the problem currently appears limited to disk1, try replacing/swapping cables for that disk.
March 14, 20233 yr Author Um ok, it was the card I linked to but ok?? Not really sure how I'm supposed to tell the difference bot I'll try the cable
March 14, 20233 yr Community Expert 6 minutes ago, Nathan Knight said: it was the card I linked to but ok?? Then they sent you a different one, ore the listing is wrong: The one you have is a Marvel 9215, not Asmedia ASM1064
March 14, 20233 yr Author Appreciate the continuing support, must be annoying the crap out of you. Cable doesn't seemed to have done anything. Parity check is still struggling
March 15, 20233 yr Community Expert No ATA errors so far, but there are checksum errors, so good idea to run a memtest.
March 15, 20233 yr Author Went thru the first pass with no errors, but I'll let it go until after work tomorrow
March 16, 20233 yr Author memtest went all ok, I'm not sure but I think it might have been the actual disk itself, started to hear it 'clicking' so replaced it with another older drive that I had laying around and so far the rebuild is sailing along sweet as. Guess I'll find out
March 16, 20233 yr Author Righto, now for the stupid question of the day!! Got a refund on the dodgy card and have been weighing up some options. If I were to go nuts, would this be an ok thing to do? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/175149749492?hash=item28c7bd14f4:g:6VgAAOSwqJxi7czf&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4FM1Tqjh8TTWNVCLN%2BBg6fgJtN8nU56yzhY9XaF8zwx7yeEUS7rgqO31xlJhsKtB0tE%2BhJwjUr2o6h4w2aA%2BzCOqLCndRYTz0o6HWomTdrBkXN1Dnr%2F%2Fa3RjvTIITMZ1FDp2LE1GCnl9TEhaer8gT%2Fu7898c83v2an4BP7OIVRm8Mlqwi05XnhNsE9UoNSkyIGkYtvwIeWt69xYFdaN4k7z6pH9pavpZcFsAiKrXK6Re%2B%2FpMyyogdfP8poxWbUKYIYlRZdUw%2B2ITajkxgDytkAXtkgCNBp0cE0qhYN%2F%2FQ8kI|tkp%3ABk9SR7raj5_dYQ
March 16, 20233 yr Community Expert That's a SAS expander, it's a good option for many disks but it requires a separate HBA, like an LSI 9211-8i for example.
