September 28, 201114 yr So i just did some upgrades to give more expansion of my Unraid. I just installed 2 x BR10i controllers. I moved about 5 disks to the new controllers. Boot up the system, didnt see any errors (tho i'm not sure, i did make a post in Hard Drive section but no1 replies ). Unraid found all the disks fine, so i started the array. All disks are green. So i started parity check. After 20 mins or so, i checked back the web gui and it didnt seem to respond. Plug a monitor in and i can still type command fine on the console. I went back and loaded the web gui again (opened a new browser), i found disk5 got a RED. No longer see parity check or sync. I turned off the server and went to check cable etc... Everything seems connected fine. Interestingly, disk5 is not on the new controllers. I started the array again. I checked the data (not all just random files) thro Windows Explorer on my laptop. I can access data on disk5 fine. Open some files and all looks fine. Now i'm scared of whats happening? Did i mess something up? Please check my syslog. It seems longer than normal.

The disk5 is connected to port 1 of the onboard Sata ports. Its recognized as sda in Unraid Current storage specs of the server: + 4 onboard SATA from SB600 + 2 onboard SATA from JMB 363 + 2 x BR10i controllers with 8ports each. i connect only 4 disks to one controller and 1 disk to the other one
September 28, 201114 yr See here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#What_does_the_Red_Ball_mean.3F Being able to see the files on disk5 is NOT an indication disk5 is working. It is an indication that parity in combination with all your other drives are able to simulate its contents. Joe L
