December 26, 2025Dec 26 Merry Christmas!!!I’m trying to add three drives to Unraid. I have two 24TB drives that I want to add to parity (currently, I have one 12TB parity drive). After that, I should be able to wipe them and add them to my array. The last drive is a 20TB. However, I’m having issues doing this—could you please check my diagnostic logs? Right now, I’m just trying to add the second drive first, but I’m getting a ton of errors during the rebuild, and it keeps pausing.noelsflix-diagnostics-20251225-2113.zip Edited December 26, 2025Dec 26 by k1ng more info
December 26, 2025Dec 26 Community Expert Solution Looks more like a connection issue, or a controller issue, since they are still Marvell controllers and the driver is crashing, repalce/swap cables for parity2 and try again, post new diags if it still fails.
December 26, 2025Dec 26 Author Alright, I’ve had the Marvell controllers for about seven years. Do you have any recommendations if I want to replace them? I know they don’t work well with the “Fix Common Problems” add-on, every scan I get yelled at because I am using them lol, but I haven’t had any issues with them until now. Either way, I can replace them if you think that’s the problem. I’ll try again when I get home this weekend, remount them, and give it another shot.Thank you, Jorge -n Edited December 26, 2025Dec 26 by k1ng grammar fix
December 26, 2025Dec 26 Author Hahaha, I was just looking at that right now. I have a Supermicro X9DR3-F with 2× Intel® Xeon® E5-2670 CPUs @ 2.60GHz, 128 GiB DDR3 Multi-bit ECC, and about 75 TB of storage (currently). I’ll need to check it when I get home—I forgot what I plugged in or not, you know? I haven’t touched the inside for about five years or so, lol.
December 30, 2025Dec 30 Author I moved to a different slot and that took it. Thank you, Jorge. Now, what I understand, I can just stop the array and replace the 12 with the 24 and start it up?
