Pool devices unmountable - old M.2 after 2 years and then brand new M.2 after 2 weeks

Featured Replies

A few months back I saw my pool device (a single M.2 drive) was showing as "Unmountable: Unsupported or no file system". After researching as best I could, I figured my drive had simply given up the ghost. It didn't seem absurd since I'd bought the cheapest drive with decent enough reviews I could find and it seemed to have lasted ~2.5 years. I took the opportunity to upgrade and get some parity in my pool by grabbing a couple WD Black SN850X's.

Fast forward to today and I notice our Plex was acting weird. I rebooted the Unraid server as one of my first troubleshooting steps and after a bit I noticed my installed-two-weeks-ago pool devices were showing as unmountable.

Diagnostics attached, I'd appreciate any help or insight. I am not terribly experienced with servers or unix stuff beyond the basics of navigating and fiddling with files.

Thanks

There's a log problem, type btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/nvme0n1p1 then post new diags after array start

  • Author

Entered btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/nvme0n1p1, stopped and then restarted my array, then pulled diagnostics. Interestingly my drives came back and appear to be working as expected again. I'd still appreciate any understanding into what might be going on and what I can do to prevent the issue.

Btrfs is detecting data corruption on both devices. It's a good idea to run memtest first, then scrub the pool and post the results from the GUI.

Left memtest going for a couple hours. I'm guessing my RAM is toast, does this indicate anything else?PXL_20251104_052449667~2.jpg

Typically it's just bad RAM.

For posterity, it does appear the simple answer was bad RAM. My cache drives showed unmountable again sometime after the memtest. Swapped in some new RAM and things have been working fine.
