Drive Red X - Just rebuilt server 3 days ago

Over the past couple of months I have made several posts on issues I have had since upgrading to unraid 6.X....to the point where I am sick of seeing my own posts  ;D

 

Over the weekend I decided to combine with windows 7 PC with my unraid tower and fully leverage unraid 6 and run windows 7 as a VM.  Everything went well until today.  After 2.5 days of uptime, I got a red "balled" X drive.  It showed 7 errors in main status window.  Diagnostics attached.  Disk 3 was disabled and there is no smart report in the zipped diagnostics file.  I assume I should start in maintenance mode and see if I can get a smart report...possibly also run reiserfsck on this disk?  I assume it could be a cabling issue since I just rebuilt this machine.

 

One item I forgot to prepare for in advance of combining the PC's was purchasing additional SATA cables.  My plan was to run all of the drives off of the motherboard...but since I did not have enough sata cables, I was forced to use my supermicro AOCMV8SASLP card with the sata breakout cables.  It just so happens disk 3 was connected to this add on card.  I plan on ordering some new cable and pull this card.

 

I guess at this point I will work through this troubleshooting guide.  http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting#Hard_drive_failures

 

Hopefully someone is willing to look at my syslog and see if anything jumps out at them.

 

Thanks,

Smart report passed....reiserfsck ran and returned the result of no corruptions.  I borrowed some sata cables from a friend and connected the balance of my drives to the motherboard and removed the supermicro AOCMV8SASLP card.  Data rebuild is in progress.

I've had heaps of problems reusing old sata cables, replaced them all, never had a problem since.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with your drives as far as Smart report passes, have you double checked the power cabling ? could be a bad connection or something, considering you've just rebuilt your system basic cabling errors are easily missed :)
