February 9, 20242 yr  Hi, new unraid user here 👋 I'm doing my first parity sync with x2 4Tb drives ETA was around 9 hours. I've got about an hour into the process and it says Parity Sync Finished, which I thought was odd. When I checked parity was still invalid and array has been stopped. This has happened twice now. Can anyone check the logs I've linked to and tell me what's happening please? >>Screenshot of toast (parity-sync finished)<<  >>Logs here<< Rather modest system but using an old desktop for testing atm MSI H61M-G35 i5 3570k 16Gb RAM x2 4Tb WD Purple x1 Sandisk 120Gb cache drive Â
February 9, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution Looks like the server rebooted on its own, no parity check was started in those logs and parity is still invalid, and a server rebooting by itself is usually a hardware issue, or bad power.
February 9, 20242 yr Author Hi Jorge I did have a look through the system log and it did seem there was a reboot (or two). Hardware issue would be strange as I've been running another freeware NAS software on that box for the past week. The only thing I've introduced is the flash drive. Unless the parity check is particularly demanding and could be bringing some problem to light. Thanks for your quick reply 🙂

Well it's still running which is a good sign. I replaced the thermal paste on the CPU. Thought it was worth a check and it was looking pretty grim. Think that might have done the trick!
