trurl Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Follow these instructions very carefully. If something doesn't seem to work as described, or if you have other questions, ask. Tools - New Config - Keep all assignments. Before starting the array, make any needed assignment changes. In your situation, leave all assignments alone except for reassigning parity to the original 20TB. Before starting the array, check both the Parity Valid and Maintenance Mode boxes. Start the array. Stop the array. Unassign disk1. Start the array. This will disable and emulate disk1 again. Then post new Diagnostics so we can see if disk1 emulation is working, and decide how to proceed from there. Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 With the New Config, I need to connect my 20TB hdd back into my array? Quote Link to comment

Scuba_Steve Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Are these the proper settings after installing the 20TB hdd for parity? I selected All for Preserve current assignments. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Did you do the steps in the order listed? It doesn't look like it to me. Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 I thought from what Trural posted I should put my original 20TB hdd back as parity. I am starting to get confused. Should I put my 18TB drive back in the Parity slot? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 That screenshot suggests you did not complete New Config correctly! Did you remember to click Apply after selecting which assignments to keep? If you simply clicked Done then that acts like a Cancel in other OS. Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 (edited) I proceeded with New Config and then selected the 20TB hdd for parity. Started the array in maintenance mode with parity is already valid options. Do I need to start the parity check with or without "Write corrections to parity"? uss-enterprise-diagnostics-20240901-1557.zip Edited September 1 by Scuba_Steve Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 I am not sure if I did it properly. I have posted my diags and some screenshots. uss-enterprise-diagnostics-20240901-1618.zip Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 Can someone advise what I should proceed with my next step please? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Looks like you followed the instructions correctly but the emulated disk1 didn't mount, and the disk got disabled again after the attempted rebuild. Unassign disk1, start the array and post the output from: xfs_repair -v /dev/md1p1 Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 (edited) I have unassigned disk 1 started the array and posting output. Executed: xfs_repair -v /dev/md1p1 Not sure what is going on, but I just lost another drive. uss-enterprise-diagnostics-20240904-1847.zip Edited September 4 by Scuba_Steve Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Emulated disk1 cannot be repaired, but disk6 was already missing when you did the new config above, if there was supposed to be a disk6, the emulated disk would never work without it. Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 I am not sure how I should proceed next. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 You can check/replace cables for disk6 to see if it comes back online, and if it does, try the new config procedure once more. If disk6 is dead not much else you can do other than recover the data from the remaining drives. Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 If I can not get Disk 6 mounted, how do I proceed to start moving my data from each drive? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 You don't need to move the data, you can do a new config with the remaining good disks, which should be all except disks 1 and 6. Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 (edited) I fixed Disk 6, the sata connector broke. I created a new config and still Disk 1 is not mountable. Do I need to format Disk 1? uss-enterprise-diagnostics-20240906-2034.zip Edited September 7 by Scuba_Steve Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 You didn't do the procedure correctly this time, you didn't unassign disk1, try now but it would have been better without starting the array first. Stop the array, unassing disk1, start the array, post new diags. Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 I stopped the array, unassigned disk 1 started the array and I posting my new diags. uss-enterprise-diagnostics-20240907-1256.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 You did another new config without disk1, that was not what I asked you to do, I'm starting to think you are trolling us. Repeat the new config procedure with all disks, including 1 and 6, as described here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/172556-array-wont-stop-of-shutdown/?do=findComment&comment=1459519 Quote Link to comment
Scuba_Steve Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 (edited) My apologies, as I mentioned I am a noob to this and never had an issue in the past. I have not had to troubleshoot this type of situation. I just want to get my array resolved. I am not trolling I created a new config with disk 1 and disk 6 assigned. Now it is showing all existing data will be overwritten. Is this correct before I proceed? I ran it in maintenance mode with parity valid checked. I started the array and disk 1 is still not mountable. uss-enterprise-diagnostics-20240908-1555.zip Why is my system in paused mode? uss-enterprise-diagnostics-20240908-1611.zip Edited September 8 by Scuba_Steve Quote Link to comment
