May 5, 20233 yr Guys, I am not sure what happen I ran read check last night and this is what I found early today. Disk 2 started getting all kind of error's. Did the drive fail? What should I do to get out of this pickle? tower-diagnostics-20230505-0813.zipScreenshot 1 Spoiler
May 5, 20233 yr Author I just wiggle all my hard disk cables and disk 2 is now green.. but I still have an "x" for parity. Edited May 5, 20233 yr by maddox-nola
May 5, 20233 yr Author The only thing I have now is Parity is disabled, Do I try and rebuild parity? How do I get the drive from disabled?
May 6, 20233 yr Author After playing around with the cables and replacing some. I didn't have too much luck. I replace the new power supply with an old power power supply and all the drives came up good. This is freaking strange. This is a new power supply out the box. It is now Parity-Sync is started and the Parity-Sync in progress. This is great news.
May 6, 20233 yr Author Is this normal it is telling me 130 - 300 days to finish. It is jumping all around in numbers up and down. I have 3 data drives with about 4.8 TB's of data used and about 6.19 TB free.

Posting your system’s diagnostics zip file might let us suggest which one(s). note that the time will be unaffected by the amount of data - it is purely determined by the parity drive size as the parity processes run at the raw sector level and are unaware of the meaning of any data in the sectors.
May 6, 20233 yr Author Here is the diagnostic log, the Parity drive is 4 TB. tower-diagnostics-20230506-1014.zip Edited May 6, 20233 yr by maddox-nola
May 6, 20233 yr Community Expert Could not spot anything to explain the speed in the diagnostics I would expect something like ~2 hours or less per TB of the parity drive so the time is definitely excessive. BTW: not really important but you seem to have a lot of slots allowed for in the ‘cache’ pool even though it only contains 1 drive. Any reason for this?
May 6, 20233 yr Author No, I am not sure why I have so many? Can I delete them. Yes I do have only one cache drive. Thank you for looking over the report. Edited May 6, 20233 yr by maddox-nola
