March 26, 20242 yr Last weekend, I had a power loss to my Unraid server HAL. Once power was back, I restarted the server and noticed that the parity-check is in progress. Later that day, I couldn't reach the server anymore thru the WebGUI. Local comand line was also not responsive. Hence, I powered down the server by holding the power button and started it again. Since then, Unraid froze two more time while parity-check was in progress. I am now in my fourth attempt in finishing parity-check being at 49% done with 713 errors fixed. Today, I opened the system log while parity-check is in progress and I found that ata9 and ata10 seem to have difficulties (see log file attached). I then tried to figure out which drive these two would be and I found that ata9 directs to sdh, sdi, and sdi1 and ata10 to sdk1 & sdl1. Can this be correct? Few weeks prior to the power loss, I added a PCI SATA controller card for ten additional disks. Everything looked good prior to the power loss (but I did not look so closely then compared to now). Attached it the diagnostic file and a copy of the system log while parity-check is still in progress. Can you help? hal.local logs.txt hal-diagnostics-20240326-1605.zip Edited March 26, 20242 yr by Teffi71 correcting typos

March 26, 20242 yr Author Thanks @JorgeB! The card I bought uses - of cause - Marvell ASM1064 and JMB575! https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B09Z2C4LL4/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 While I am now looking for another card, can I still use the four sata on the top of the card?

March 26, 20242 yr Author Once the server freezes up again, I will try to replug the disks accordingly! I will also remove the two extra SSDs. Then I should be fine with the total SATA slots until the new controller arrives. I ordered: Broadcom LSI 9300-16i SATA / SAS HBA Controller RAID 12Gbps PCIe x8 Avago IT FW Refurbished 4 x miniSAS auf 4x SATA Kabel SFF-8087 0,5m shall arrive after Easter, I guess ... I ordered it from here https://www.its-haehnlein.com/Shop/ Thanks again for your quick support!
