February 21, 20242 yr Hello, My array was fine this morning and I came back tonight and the parity drive now shows as stopped: Trying to spin it up doesn't do anything (the icon remains as is). The server logs only show this: Feb 21 18:52:15 Tower emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sda Feb 21 18:52:22 Tower emhttpd: spinning up /dev/sda Feb 21 18:52:29 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sda Feb 21 19:12:33 Tower emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sda Feb 21 19:12:35 Tower emhttpd: spinning up /dev/sda Feb 21 19:12:39 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sda I am attaching a diagnostic files as well as a SMART test for the drive. tower-diagnostics-20240221-1915.zip tower-smart-20240221-1839.zip I tried to reboot, but with no luck. I am fairly Unraid noob, please excuse me if this is a dumb problem or if I am missing obvious things I am supposed to provide for you to help. Thank you, Julian
February 21, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution Parity was already disabled at boot so we can't see what happened, SMART looks OK so you can re-sync, it may also be a good idea to check/replace cables before doing it to rule it out, then: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management#rebuilding-a-drive-onto-itself
February 21, 20242 yr Author Thanks a lot, my array is now rebuilding its parity drive, and you taugh me that restarting the array makes the lot disappear. Much appreciated. I'll likely investigate how to persist these logs to a cache at some point. Edited February 21, 20242 yr by Juliian
