July 30, 20232 yr Hello all, I have some problems with my just new disk. I have to had to reboot a few times due to problems with using powertop. So now I've disabled everything in my boot/config/go file, back to original. But to check things out, I needed to reboot my server a few times. Now I booted it for the last time, and I get a red x at the disk4. I did a read check but that wasn't the solution. My disk4 is just about a month old, so I don't think it is the disk itself. Also the SATA data cable is the same age, so can it be that? I never had the disk "failing" so quick... What can I do to resolve this matter? I've attached my diagnostics, maybe you guys can get something out of that. Thanks in advance for all the support. Kind Regards! rik-tower-diagnostics-20230731-0024.zip
July 31, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution Diags are after rebooting so we can't see what happened, but SMART looks fine so you can rebuild on top, probably a good idea to replace cables before doing it to rule that out.
August 1, 20232 yr Author Yep gonna do that. I don't have the diags from before rebooting, cause nothing was wrong at that moment, too bad. I did some cable swapping, advice via reddit, and came out on a faulty miniSAS 8087 cable. One of those 4 sata cables are bad, so I've ordered a new one. Expected to arrive in a couple of days. So for now the problem seems solved with a new cable, but I cannot verify that until I have a new cable.
August 5, 20232 yr Author Yep that was the problem, a miniSAS cable. The solution was as follows: Unassigned the disk first Assigned the disk again to the same empty slot as before. Then a parity rebuild and everything is back up and running! Thanks again!
