Just looking in front for a new expansion card, but it seems they are very hard to find in europe?

Everything is on ebay from china...

Send you a private message over on the Belgian forum. There are some options from Germany which should work.

ok so i took out drive 3

i attached the sata cable from disk 7 to the motherboard

Tried mounting disk 7

Again, couldnt mount

See diag

Conclusions now? Its not the disk? its not the cables, its not the sata controller?

What is it then?

What now?

So no use in ordering other sata controller?

I assume you mean the Unassigned disk.

Can you check filesystem on the Unassigned disk?

yes

I did that already, then i could fix it (see some pages back)...

Then i did extended smart test and all was ok

Or mount it? Cause that i just tried too.

Im not getting any further like this

Now. Again.

Disk is logging constant ATA errors. Assuming you have replaced both cables, and since the same happens with a different controller, it's likely a bad disk; you can try cloning it with ddrescue.

Its running again.

Meanwhile i ordered a new controller https://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/397484767986?_skw=8087+IT+mode&itmmeta=01KEVK8CR7027K5KHNG0SB19Y7&hash=item5c8bf03af2:g:53oAAeSwaO9pY6NL&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8O7PUuNWmJ%2B%2BUShgI9tQz%2FqXbxL346tf8HpNLaroxbtch5DLIz8S7FU8irWGQNOqG%2BiR0SHnYJlEl5uQadqaaLdLbrRG32xkHUKKlvCOTM5wXzqiUzKuYhfp2hQNX4l28%2B57piPo09WWa%2BrqKeMSUmMoN%2BKhCQnWoLTRkH6PxTrFW5XIC7OQC2mRHmXJCLzwiQzNdMnZ6Kz%2BBhOceZKjF%2FlB1bYncvEFDUbgfCKpLuEu3gF4xHEeYpekhslK88l5kDouhrz6%2FDSVSaLVklwn0jkXeILljkKznWkYJay8FUsG7CVZt4SYRa4bUSV0Q%2BTxvA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMpMyh8_Zm

If its any good.

I also added another spare 2 tb (empty) drive to the unassigned ones... i can mount it..

So i might be able to copy over data from disk 7 to that one (temporarily) ?

Then disk 2 is still an issue, + i want to change parity from 8 till 10 and then add a second new data 10 tb drive to the array and copy over the data which is now on disk 7

Will report back after filesystemcheck of disk 7, if it says repair? Should i? cause now i can see the content on disk 7 and dont want to waste that

i added another 2tb disk to the unassigned disks, i can mount that one.

Cant i just copy over the contents from disk 7 (which i cant mount but im able to see contents true my windows explorer)?

if so how? (its running systemcheck again on disk 7)

Remember disk 7 is 6tb but only has 1.4 TB data, thats why i would use 2tb spare disc (so i can still upgrade my parity to 10 and have a second empty 10tb to add to my array, i cant use ddrescue with smaller disk... so manually copy?

If the disk now mounts, you can try that.

Disk 7 isnt mountin, but passed extended smart test + i repaired it.

But its still unassigned, and unmountable.

Do i copy over to a spare unassigned 2tb disk?

If so, how?

Disk 2 is still running check file system status for like the 3 time or so.. , passed a extended smart test too

This is the diagn for now

I think its time to do something now cause the only thing i keep doing is running smart tests and file system checks..

There isn't currently a physical disk7. If you mean the 6TB unassigned disk serial ending PC3H, then it has indeed passed extended smart test.

Not clear whether you mean you repaired the emulated disk in slot 7, or you mean you repaired the physical 6TB unassigned disk serial ending PC3H

And not clear whether you mean emulated disk in slot 7 is unmountable, or whether your mean the physical 6TB unassigned disk serial ending PC3H is unmountable.

The emulated disk in slot 7 the last time you posted diagnostics with the array started was mountable, and it had 1.5T contents. But you said it should have more than that. If you rebuild slot 7 you will get 1.5T contents. And that emulated data from slot 7 is probably what you mean when you say you can see its files.

Did you actually check filesystem on the unassigned disk serial ending PC3H?

Can you mount unassigned disk serial ending PC3H?

disk 7= 6tb unassigned ddis= serial ending pc3h, all the same for me.

Its both, i cant mount the unassigned physical 6tb disk ending pc3h, nor can i mount that disk in slot 7

I can see the data from disk 7 , i assume you mean the emulated then? around 1.5 TB content.

That 1.5 TB data might be correct anyway.

So now i want to recover that 1.5 TB

So are you saying that disks in my array are emulated disks and not physical?

They are physical cause i assign them to it? they have the same serial.

I tried to save that 1.5 TB data using ddrescue, without luck:
root@Unraid:~# ddrescue -f -n /dev/sdi /dev/sdh /boot/ddrescue_disk7.log

GNU ddrescue 1.30

Is there another way to save that data?

I assume the ordered expansion sata controller wont make a difference since i tried to connect to motherboard instead and it was the same issue..

Second step i would like to do is disk 2 but lets focus on that 1.5 TB data on disc 7 first

Now what?

Maybe its better to save data from disk 2 cause it has more data on than on disk 7 right?

So what do i do now?

Not the same for Unraid. More useful to you if you think like Unraid.

Only a disabled or missing or rebuilding disk is emulated by reading all of the other disks and getting its data from the parity calculation.

40 minutes ago, skank said:

nor can i mount that disk in slot 7

Earlier you posted diagnostics with the array started and it showed the 1.5T on the emulated slot 7. No reason to think that isn't still the case but lets see.

Start the array with slot 7 still not assigned, and post new diagnostics.

ok i think i understand you.

Anyway thx for the patience with me.

I hope i can recover some things today.7

Check filesystem is still going for disk 2 as soon as finished,

after that i start array and post diagnostics lol

edit: aha just finished

Trying in fixing disk 2

Sorry, I misread your earlier reply. If the actual disk7 still doesn't mount, my recommendation is still to try and clone it with ddrescue, but you need a disk of the same size or larger.

Did you read my post above? i did ! try ddrescue

root@Unraid:~# ddrescue -f -n /dev/sdi /dev/sdh /boot/ddrescue_disk7.log

According to your previous diagnostics, sdh was not the 6TB disk formerly assigned as disk7. It was a 2TB unassigned disk serial ending 5257

Sorry, this thread is getting confusing. Assuming that was the correct disk, if ddrescue cannot copy anything, try copying what you can from the emulated disk.
