I had a power failure today, on a couple of minutes and I do have battery backup on my unraid, so I thought it should be fine.

 

I logged in to check and make sure, and using the regular unraid menu, there are 14 errors to the two disks that I have connected via eSATA in an external enclosure.  This enclosure is also on batter backup, but maybe something didn't work?  The disks with the errors still show as green, and parity is valid.

 

When I login to UnMenu, there are no errors reported on the disks?  All disks are OK, and parity is valid.

 

Why is the stock menu (rc11) reporting errors on green-ball drives, and UnMenu is not showing any errors?

 

I have attached my syslog, and a smartdrive report for one of the disks.

 

What should I do next?  I have taken a backup on my flash drive, should i reboot?  Run parity sync?

syslog-Dec6.txt

I just spot-checked some of my data, and some data is not available.

 

I can manually go to each of the error disks and see files on them through windows though, what is happening?

I did a reboot from the webUI menu after stopping the array.

 

Everything came back up OK, and all my files are back......

 

I will take another backup and start a parity check.  Time to buy a bigger case so I can get rid of my external enclosure and not have these types of scares any more!

 

I have attached my syslog again, just in case there is an issue still?

Getting rid of those external enclosures is a good idea. Less cause for trouble.

 

 

We can only guess what went wrong during the power outage. Maybe the battery backup for the externals didn't last long enough and some disks went off-line. But that's just guessing.
