April 25, 20233 yr One of my Parity drives keeps showing up as disabled. I replaced the SATA and power cables three times. I also swapped out the PCIe adapter that has the SATA connections. The tests come back as good but I have no idea why the drive keeps getting disabled. Any help is appreciated. tower-smart-20230425-1126.zip
April 26, 20233 yr Community Expert If you didn't reboot since it got disabled please post the diagnostics.
April 27, 20233 yr Author Even when I move the drive to the on board sata it does this. So in this case I believe the issue is something else. sure it’s not ideal to use a pcie sata card but I have 14 drives HDD’s plus some SSD with sata connections. Unfortunately the card is needed.

So the issue is something else.

May 1, 20233 yr Community Expert What do you mean the issue is the same? Parity2 was already disabled at array start, if you attempted a rebuild and it failed we need those diags. P.S. the unassigned Seagate 12TB disk appears to be failed, so you should remove it.

I removed the drive from the array and added it again. the Parity sync started (albeit at a super slow pace (100kb/sec average) but now the docker and vm will not launch. I even stopped the sync removed the drive and started the array again but those services wont start. tower-diagnostics-20230504-0845.zip
May 4, 20233 yr Community Expert You are having issues with multiple disks across multiple controllers, so possible power/connection issues.

So I went ahead and removed some SSD's and HDD's also removed the GPU to see if my 1000watt PSU is the issue. Unfortunately that did not fix the issue. Luckily after I removed all the drives and checked each and every one I saw that the 18tb Parse drive that kept on being unmounted had a flimsy SATA connector. Not the cable but the drives connector was wobbly. So I removed that drive to get it replaced. Sadly I am still now stuck in the situation of nothing loading. The Array says it is working but docker, vms and shares don't run. tower-diagnostics-20230504-1414.zip Here is my latest diagnostics

I did that using xfs_repair -v -L (from the gui) and it found a bunch of things. After running it twice it finally found my shares but it did not find my dockers and vm's.

May 5, 20233 yr Author Doing the steps here is to create the docker img from scratch. Is there a way I can recover all the dockers?
May 5, 20233 yr Community Expert Read the entry, you can recover all the containers, assuming appdata is still there.
