Did you save the diags after the read errors? I had asked for them previously.

The current problem looks like a possible filesystem issue, see if you can get the syslog:

cp /var/log/syslog /boot/syslog.txt

Also, it may be a good idea to run memtest to rule out any obvious RAM issues.

Hi. I was not able to save the log because as i mentioned the server hanged and became unresponsive in the morning after leaving it parity-synching overnight. i had to do a shutdown using the power button. i hope i got the correct file you asked for, its from the root dir of the boot flash drive.

syslog.txt

Try starting the array again, and if it GUI hangs, use the CLI to get the syslog, the command above will copy it to the flash drive.

ok will try now, just finishing up with the memtest, no errors or issue so far

Hi.

I disabled DISK3 and the array is starting now without the error. Just want to know what does that error mean?

zfs is crashing on mount, doesn't look like a disk problem for now, but post a SMART report.

IIRC this is not the first disk with filesystem issues, they can be the result of an underlying hardware issue.

ok will gather the smart reports for each disk

Hi.

It was an enlightening last 7 hours, but i think i (and with the important help from you guys) finally is closer to cracking this mystery read errors.

I found out that i was using a SATA expansion card whose chip is not in the recommended list for UNRAID 🤯😤🤬😭. I have not replaced it yet, just running 4 drives + 1 parity for now while i am copying the most important files that i can access until i replace this SATA card with a recommended one. I have ordered now on ebay the card, which explicitly says for UNRAID.

I hope there is still hope for the other drives that i have disabled once i get the recommended SATA card.

12-Port SA3112J: ASM1064*1 + JMB575*2 these are the chips on the SATA card i am using now, but will replace later. here's the latest diag.

That could be the issue, also recommend uninstalling the Nvidia driver since it's spamming the log.
