nunu22 Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 Hello everybody, i would like to get your opinion on my issue. my server has one array of 8x8To (sata) + 1T cache (M2). The array is "dispatched" such as: - 4 connected on motherboard - 4 connected on additional sata PCI card disks are seagate, and configuration has been modified to allow high current while spin up after sleep state (i have optimize the setup to be able to get all array sleep while no acces to it). I have noticed that all disk that are marked as failed are always those connected to the PCI Sata extended card. i can rebuild the array with no issue. Asking myself if issue is not related to spin down / spin up as i never face any issue during array parity rebuild .... Join to this post, disgnostics. regards diagnostics-20240416-0758.zip Quote
JorgeB Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 Looks more like a controller issue, does the addon controller have just 4 ports or more? Quote
nunu22 Posted April 16, 2024 Author Posted April 16, 2024 Hi, 4 ports (as far as i remember) this controller : (04:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1064 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)) Quote
JorgeB Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 OK, if there are only four ports it doesn't have a SATA port multiplier, those are a known issue, but please double check, since based on the syslog it does look like there is a port multiplier, if there isn't, it could have some defect, since those Asmedia controllers usually work well with Unraid.

nunu22 Posted April 16, 2024 Author Posted April 16, 2024 hum.... okay. I will check this point to be sure. In case of 6 ports, should i buy a 4 ports controller to be sure ? (i don't know if ASM1064 support 6 ports) regards Quote
Solution JorgeB Posted April 16, 2024 Solution Posted April 16, 2024 Please double check, since based on the syslog it does look like there is a port multiplier, for 6 ports you can get an Asmedia 1166 based controller, with just 6 ports, not more. Quote
nunu22 Posted April 16, 2024 Author Posted April 16, 2024 asmedia 1166 doesn't used port multiplier to get 6 ports ? Quote
JorgeB Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 No, it's a 6 port controller natively, but there are models with 8 or 10 ports, those will have a PM. Quote
nunu22 Posted April 16, 2024 Author Posted April 16, 2024 thanks for your support ! i will replace the controller. hope this will solved the issue? regards 1 Quote
nunu22 Posted April 24, 2024 Author Posted April 24, 2024 Hi, it seems that solves the issue (and more 2x to 3x fastest in transfert). Thanks 2 Quote
