@JorgeB

your guess is as good as me  thats what it did as soon as i mounted  its still disk building.. reason i as trying to get it to do a clean parity sync  like a reset   thats what i thought the  parity problems assistant  tool  does it resets the parity drive....  but locked me out of the gui and and and then stopped

 

and then i decided to swap out the 12tb for a 14tb  and  and i had done the same above  steps    it didnt matter  12 or 14  it did the data rebuild

should i swap back the 12tb and re try again  did the logs show anything

That is not what it does!    It runs a partial parity check between the defined start and end points.  Useful if you you are investigating a problem at particular offsets within the parity drive.

no reason it would lock the GUI - that is almost certainly due to something else.

@itimpi

so is there a way to force parity sync  like a clean setup of parity to avoid the above pic its doing data rebuild

 

so when what i did with that parity problem tool  i selected  Yes  and then Check...  and the hard drives were all lite  up.. and the GUI  was unresponsive

and then i got a 500 error.. on the screen... about 5 min after clicking the Check    the hard drives all stopped flickering and the Gui was working again and and no data sync or something i forget what it said at bottom

and i dunno if the logs show anything in the diagnostics above as i cant remember if i did a reboot in between running that check  so not sure

now

 

 

and i dunno why its doing data rebuild  or why its going to take 8 days..   is there anyway to for a party sync after i formated disk 1   and reset party and get it back up to the 200mbs speeds  all drives are 7200 and they worked before the ram issues   i getting the new ECC ram today so i hoping that solves issues  but i cant get the drives to go faster

According to the diagnostics you used the Parity Check Assistant to check sectors 0-100 which it finished very quickly within a minute with no errors in that range.    Not unsurprisingly all drives would be active while doing this.   There was an attempt to raise notifications both at the start and end of the above, but I am not sure if you have them enabled at both the Unraid level and the parity check tuning settings level.

ah well i probabbly dont...  what i was looking for  was  parity sync   and from what i thought i read.. it was to reset the parity drive..

as i couldnt get  data rebuild to turn off  and let me do a parity sync..  i want to reset the party drive  after i formated drive 1.. it didnt help and when i switched drive  that didnt help either...  so i went looking for a parity sync.. and found that under tools

 

and i didnt change anything except from no to yes to write to parity...  i thought it would   force parity  to reset  like sticking a parity drive in for the very first time.. but it didnt

 

and i cant get data rebuild off  and partiy sync on..  or  speed up drives to 200mbs  from 14mbs   8 days for a partiy sync/data rebuild frig     so i think the parity sync errors are still corrupt from what jorgeb was saying

@JorgeB @itimpi   can i hit stop array..  then click parity in the array and some how format the drive like i did for disk1...  

 

or is there a command line to format parity drive  to start a resync  and increase disk speed..  and is there someting that is slowing the parity rebuild  to 14mbs   does logs say anything       can  i do a new build  and remove the parity drive   and run the disks indivdually    and then add a partiy drive.. what options are there

Disk was enabled on the initial diags, so I cannot guess why it's disabled now.

@JorgeB  can i do  "New Config"  under tools and remove  the parity drive  and start over fresh and then re add the parity drive  since i unable to find a way to stop datarebuild

 

least thats what i was thinking or if i could format  parity  drive  or add a 2nd parity drive i dunno  but i dont want it to take 8 days thats all i know  and i dunno why its sooo bloody slow

You can, data on disk1 might be left in an inconsistent state, but since your going to format it it doesn't really matter, or at least that's what I'm assuming.

If you use New Config you do not need to remove the parity drive.  If you do not click the "parity is valid" checkbox then parity will start building from the start as soon as you start the array.  The array will be available (albeit not protected) while the parity is building.

@JorgeB  ya i plan to reformat disk 1  i cancelled. the disk rebuild...  as in a few hours i expect to get that 64 gig ecc ram from samsung to use in my server.. and hope it helps  

 

@itimpi ah ok  ya ill do that.. i only played with that new config thing several years ago so i didnt know what i can do

 

and do you guys know why the datarebuild is going so slow?

 

and do you guys know if the next version of unraid has a feature or so  that it detects in the logs if there is memory issues  that unraid will notify you.. since the system logs never tell you when there is Errors  or warnings..   the notifications only tells ya about an array or so  the 5 checkboxs   but nothing really tells you if there is a drive having ata issues  or this memory issue...    as i dunno how long i been having problems

 

i only noticed when i posted  i was having issues getting Geforce 3060 to work in unraid and it kept crashing and no one replied to it.. and then i posted drive issues and by the 3rd post   JorgeB  found out i had memory issues... so that probably why the geforce 3060 was crashingin the unraid box  i havent re tried yet..   but is there a pluggin or anything that lets u know when ram is failing in the System logs so u can stop writting  to disks etc..  or do you have to manuually check on ur own  say once a day or soooo
