This is starting to get really annoying. 

 

Continous red balls and hard drives randomly gone or not reading. Missing files now.

 

What the heck is going on?

 

I have precleared the drives and ran smart reports on the drives countless number of times and NO issues with the physical drives. SO before I loose any more data. What the heck do I do to fix this.

 

I guess I need to actually save the log file..  I am just irratitated because I had built this server back in July and still haven't been able to get some files on it and use it with out any issues.

 

It is on its own PSU now as well.

 

here is the log

The logs shows that drives are dropping offline (thus resulting in read and write errors).  Quite why this should be happening is not clear.

 

One of the commonest causes of such issues is problems with cabling (power of SATA).  This is always one of the first things to make sure off.  Are you using locking SATA cables for instance? 

 

The power supply looks as if it should be fine.  I gather that you have already tried more than one PSU?

 

It might be worth posting the SMART reports to see if anyone can spot any potential issues.

 

It could also be worth trying to run the server with the minimal RAM configuration you can install.  Hard to identify RAM timing issues can cause all sorts of random errors.  Running with a single RAM stick (if you can) is often a good test as to whether this might be an issue.

well the drives that I am having the most issues from is the drives connected to my addon (JBOD) card.

Check for BIOS and firmware updates. Which model PSU?

"PSU: 1 Corsair 860AX"

as far as the smart report I been running each hard drive on a septrate computer. For the SMART reports. I will boot the server into UBUNTU desktop and run the SMART reports from there and get back with yaw on that.

 

Still though this is annoying on so many issues. I have already lost about 6TB worth of data.

Here is something to think about also. Why am I just having issues with the HDs that are connected to the Supermicro mv8 card?

update: I had pulled up the drives in ubuntu desktop and all drives show up fine and my files are there as well. So I am assuming this is directly an issue with unRAID.

 

What do I have to do or buy to get this machine working. I have a lot of plans for this space but unable to use it. This issue is becoming quite an issue.

anyone?

Just a wild shot, but have you tried booting up under Xen?  There are a few of us that have had issues that seemingly point to disk/controller errors and hangs, but for some unknown reason booting up under Xen seems to make it run smooth..

I will try that.
