Server unresponsive, red balled drive - a couple of questions

Recommended Posts

So last night I noticed that my VM was unresponsive, which then lead me to check shares on my unRAID box, etc.  Not even a ping response after 122 straight days of joy.

 

And then this happened:

 

Rebooted and came up with a HDD error and then a redball next to my newest drive.  This was my first red ball and the virgin panic started to kick in.  This HDD is plugged into a PCI-E eSATA card.  I tried swapping HDD's around using another HDD on the eSATA card.  The red ball followed the drive plugged into it.  So the next thought was that the eSATA card had failed.

 

The strange thing is when I select start Xen with No Plugins, everything works perfectly.  When I start the normal default Xen with plugins, I get the red ball issue next to whatever HDD is plugged into the eSATA.

 

I'm happy to change that to my new default but any ideas as to why this would be?
