February 29, 20242 yr I have been replacing some drives in my box and had a 16,12tb parity drives, later I replaced the 12tb with another 16tb parity and moved the 12tb below and replaced few other 4tb. Suddenly both my parity were disabled at the same time, which is odd. I might have done few things that might have caused this or possibly not. I did a parity (16tb) + 12 tb rebuild at the same time, where documentation states not best practice. I started getting VM Autostart disabled: 27-02-2024 vfio-pci.cfg errors VM Autostart disabled due to vfio-bind error My older config:BIND=0000:0a:00.0|10de:21c4 0000:0a:00.1|10de:1aeb 0000:0a:00.2|10de:1aec 0000:0a:00.3|10de:1aed My other one, forgot which was more recent had: BIND=0000:00:14.0|1022:790b 0000:00:14.3|1022:790e 0000:06:00.0|1022:1485 0000:06:00.1|1022:149c 0000:06:00.3|1022:149c 0000:04:00.0|8086:2723 0000:09:00.0|10de:21c4 0000:09:00.1|10de:1aeb 0000:09:00.2|10de:1aec 0000:09:00.3|10de:1aed 0000:0a:00.0|1022:148a 0000:0b:00.0|1022:1485 0000:0b:00.1|1022:1486 0000:0b:00.4|1022:1487 I went in and edited the /boot/config/vfio config and old had a blank, the new had some stuff in it. I removed it and rebooted. I noticed the issue with parity drive going bunkers when I spun up a old vm but might not be related. My ask is which is the safest and fastest way to rebuild the array without loading any drives to make it faster and as I am unprotected to finish. edit/Adding some pics, of a cable(s) that these 2x12tb drives that I added to array had these additional cables in order for them to spin up. They seem fine now my other 2x16tb parity are the issue. Edited March 31, 20242 yr by RoTalk added photos
February 29, 20242 yr Community Expert 25 minutes ago, RoTalk said: 0000:0a:00.0 Diags are after rebooting, and there aren't any VM XML files, but if a VM had this device passed-through it would explain the issue, since both parity disks are connected to that controller.
February 29, 20242 yr Author Thank you for the fast reply, I started the in maintenance mode but there is no option to sync, only check. Is the proper way to remove the parity 1, and 2, and after start array, remove, re-add and start the array in maintenance mode to get the sync? -
February 29, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution You need to re-enable the disks first: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management#rebuilding-a-drive-onto-itself P.S. No need to do it in maintenance mode, or the array will be offline.
