Missing disks ERROR ... pls help (solved)

Featured Replies

Hi, I changed my hdd´s to a new case and after connecting everything again I cannot make it work as before.

I get the following error on 3 disks: "DISK_NP_MISSING" i attach 2 screen shots:

Can anyone tell me what options do I have to solve it?

Let me know if you more info from my system.

Do the disks show up in the BIOS?   

I see two of them in the unMENU screen shot,as not part of the array (they matched serial numbers from those missing) so perhaps all you need to do is stop the array and assign them to their respective slots in the array.

 

The third might just not have the cable seated properly.

Hi, thx for replay, but how can I "assign them to their respective slots in the array"...you mean connecting the sata cables? or doing it using unmenu?

That would depend on the version of unRAID you are running.  On older arrays you use the "devices" page.  On new beta's you stop the array and do it on the main web-management page.  I'm guessing you are on 4.7 or earlier, since the new beta versions would figure it out on its own.

Hi, i followed your instructions and assigned the recognized disks. After that I did a parity check.

I attach the resulting unmenu screen: http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff75/razzta01/missingdisks3.jpg ... as you can see disk /mnt/disk3 is not mounted in the array..it does not have any recognized format.

Pls, what option do I have now?

Let me know if you need the syslog too.

I hope you performed a non-correcting check.    If you did not, then you may have lost the ability to recover what was on the disabled disk.

Are you sure disk3 was not the old parity disk?

 

Yes... a system log is critical...  you're wasting everybody's time unless you supply one.  we need to know why disk3 did not mount.

 

You can also help by running the following commands

fdisk -lu /dev/sdg

and

  dd if=/dev/sdg count=195 | od -c -A d |  sed  30q

 

The output should look a lot like this...  Note where the  string "R  e  I  s  E  r  2  F  s" appears....

Let's see if yours is at the same address, or one sector further.

 

Output on one of my drives looks like this  (it has a file-system starting on sector 63):

Do NOT format the disk, do NOT run any more parity checks (wiping out parity is the LAST thing you want to do when you have a disk failure.  You should NEVER calculate parity with a disk invalid...  unfortunately, with the number of "writes" to the parity drive evident in your screen shot, odds are it is already been overwritten.)

Hi Joe, here is my last syslog.

I am sure disk3 was not the old parity disk!

I did a normal parity check, because I thought I can recover the info on  disk3 since I have all other disks+the parity one. I hope I did not make a mistake.

I will try the commands you mentioned.

I guess it is missing.

disk3 is not a disk that was ever in unRAID.  It is apparently an NTFS disk.  it is not partitioned as a disk in unRAID would be.  Are you perhaps copying data from other disks... in which case, it is one of the other disks.

 

It is most certainly not a reiserfs file-system, and not partitioned as unRAID would require...

 

Sorry...

 

Which "check" button did you use to check parity?  The un-correcting one in unMENU, or the one in the stock unRAID interface?

Hi Joe,

"It is most certainly not a reiserfs file-system, and not partitioned as unRAID would require..." .. i am surprised too, i guess it is one of my spare disks. i checked the" unraid main" shares set up and it only shows: disk1,disk2,disk3,disk5,disk6. disk4 was in the array but not assigned to any share and in fact it was empty, now I took it out. If I sum up all the disks in total i have 5disks. I guess the parity one is not here, so in total 6disks. I think this makes senseto me.

 

"Which "check" button did you use to check parity?  The un-correcting one in unMENU, or the one in the stock unRAID interface?" I used "unraid main" in unMENU.

 

I already did a format to this disk. I still get in unMenu the following error in red: DISK_DSBL..any ideas? i attach screenshots:

unRAID Main in unMENU is the stock unRAID interface, but accessed through unMENU top menu..  Therefore, you used the correcting parity check, exactly as if you had used the unRAID web-interface directly.

Hi Joe, I am getting crazy.

I thought disconnecting sata cables and connecting them back -exactly the same way as before- should bring my array to the same status. But it is not the case.

I attach 2 screeshots:

1) BEFORE: it was the status of my array after running the "correcting parity check". As you can see everything was fine, except I got one error: "DISK_DSBL" on disk3 ... I would appreciate if you explain to me what it means.

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff75/razzta01/missingdisk5.jpg

2) NOW: actual status. As you can see all disks are in the same position as before, but:

-on disks5,6 I get error "DISK_NP_MISSING"..but if I go to unRAID Main_Devices, and from theer you go to disk5 and disk6 ... there are no disks available to be assigned to this 2 slots.

-on disk3 I get "NEW DISK", but although you see on the screenshot "/dev/sdb ST32000542AS_9XW070JL" if you go to  unRAID Main_Devices, this one is only shown "SAMSUNG_HD103SJ_S246JDWZ101892".

I don´t understand it.

Pls, let me know what command I should run to solve this. I tried a non-correcting parity check (I mean: reiserfsck --check), but it is not possible.

Disk 3 has been disabled because a "write" to it failed.  It is now being simulated by parity in combination with all the other data drives.

DISK_NP_MISSING indicates the disks are Not-Present (do they show in the BIOS when you boot?  ) perhaps the cabling to those two drives is not plugged in all the way?  Do they share a cable? or power connector? or splitter? or disk controller board?

 

disk3 shows as new because you started the array with it un-assigned, so unRAID forgot its model/serial number.  It is probably OK at this point, but you have two disks that are not working (they have no power, or their cables are loose, etc)  That is why they do not show in the drop-down list, it is because they are not being detected.

 

Power down, re-seat the power and data connections to those two disks.  Power up, enter the BIOS.  Do the disks show up there.  If the BIOS does not see them, unRAID will not.  Once the BIOS sees them, they should not show as NP_MISSING and will show up in the drop-down lists for assignment.

 

one last thing.

reiserfsck is a file system check.  It has absolutely nothing to do with parity.    you can have perfect parity, and a corrupted file system.  You can have a perfect file-system, and bad parity.

Hi Joe, thx for being patient with me.

Funny, but the last 2 disks did appear on the BIOS of my Adaptec card, but not in Unraid. I did change power cables and now both appear in Unraid too. So this point is SOLVED.

 

Hi Joe, I am getting crazy.

I thought disconnecting sata cables and connecting them back -exactly the same way as before- should bring my array to the same status. But it is not the case.

I attach 2 screeshots:

1) BEFORE: it was the status of my array after running the "correcting parity check". As you can see everything was fine, except I got one error: "DISK_DSBL" on disk3 ... I would appreciate if you explain to me what it means.

Disk 3 has been disabled because a "write" to it failed.  It is now being simulated by parity in combination with all the other data drives.

I still get the "DISK_DSBL" on disk3. What should I do now? Is there any way to tell Unraid to solve it? I don´t want to start my array since I finally can solve this.

Hi, just wondering, i think i have no single green hdd. Let me know why you think so, pls.

 

Rgds.

 

Are there green dots next to all of the drives on the unRAID interface?

  • Author

Sorry mate, I thought you meant green drives=a hard disk that uses AF, lower rpm, less power consumption, etc... but you meant the green dot next to each disk in the unraid interface.

Yes, all other disks have a green dot.

I need to solve this, since I need to start using my array again as storage for my media. I haven´t used it yet till I solve this issue.

Let me know what can I do.

Also, what is the next step I should do:

-run a parity check?

-change disk3 and use a new spare hdd?

-any other option?

Rebuild disk3 using the same drive. Start the array with disk 3 unassigned. Then assign disk 3 and restart the array. disk 3 will rebuild. Do a parity check after the rebuild.

Thx dgaschk! I finally solved this point :).

 

Now, before I close this post, just one more question.I have the following mapping of my actual physical sata ports in my MB/raid card vs the disks in actual array:

 

                  array

mb port      disk device in array                            disk ID

1                parity                      5yd4178p (only last part of p/n)

2                disk1                        5yd3qesa

3                disk2                        5yd40jnv

4                disk39xw070jl          5xw0r0sz

5                disk49xw07wdc        9xw070jl

6  raidcard  disk55xw0r0sz        01892

7  raidcard  disk601892            9xw07wdc

8  raidcard  disk7                        5yd534w4

 

As you can see I marked some disks in red. For example, the disk3 shown in array is 9xw070jl, but in mb´s sata port4 i have connected 5xw0r0sz. And 5xw0r0sz is assigned in my array to disk5.

 

My question is if this is ok or do i need to take any corrective action? Or: is there a way to unassign the mentioned disks, and then reassign them back with the correct mapping to the mb ports?

 

Rgds, and thx again for the help provided to me in the previous days!
