Disk 3 keeps failing after upgrading to unraid 6

Featured Replies

I'm not sure where to start on this. I have been running v5b11 since it came out and haven't had issues. I upgraded to v6 and my disk 3 failed. I purchased a replacement, precleared it 3 cycles without issue, and popped it in my disk 3 slot. Unraid snapped into action to rebuild it. Once it was back online (everything green again), I noticed that I could not access my shares. I could pull up my shares in finder (mac) but each one appeared to be empty. I began researching the reiserfsk tree rebuilding but a scan of 1 of my drives came back with 0 corruption issues so i did not proceed with a rebuild. Now my disk 3 (brand new, precleared x3) has failed again after being installed for a day or 2. I started a parity check at some point and the errors counter flew through the roof. My parity drive is newest of the bunch so i doubt that it's the culprit. Would anyone have an idea of where to start to troubleshoot this? I have 1 particular drive that has very important data on it that I desperately do not want to lose.

My first suggestion would be to open the case up and double check that all of the cables are securely seated on at the drive and the controller end.  Make sure the SATA data cable is not the latching type.  (WD made a mechanical design change to their drives which prevents latching SATA cables from making a secure electrical connection.)

If the breakout cables go to a hotswap cage, then it's not an issue.  But if they go directly to the drive, you've got to make sure that the breakouts are to spec.  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=36065.0

Anything you "... desperately do not want to lose ..." should absolutely be backed up !!

 

Actually your entire server should be backed up ... UnRAID (or any RAID system for that matter) is NOT a backup.  But if you're not backing up the full server, you should certainly be backing up anything you "... desperately do not want to lose." !!

Very true. I do have a cloud backup of about 95% of that data so it wouldn't be the end of the world. I tinkered last night and figured out that i could access the data on disk 4 and disk 5 directly rather than through the share. I was able to grab the most important files. (I'm a wedding photographer) I know this is TMI but i do keep 3 copies of all my project files until they are delivered to my clients, then I archive to unraid and periodically sync that to the cloud. These images were delivered to my clients already so i would have been ok but my copies would have been lost forever.

I will go ahead and open my case up and check. Thank you!

Ok, i checked my connections and they all seem to be solid. I have a sas cable servicing parity, disk1, disk2, and disk3, and then a separate sas cable for disk 4 and 5. Here is a photo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxKMUqtDPm-yLTQtYnBhZTB3dDg/view?usp=sharing

 

For kicks, i moved my faulty disk3 to another slot on a different sas cable and it still shows up faulty. Im guessing this is because unraid is remembering the drives ID as redballed?

Correct

 

You would have to stop the array set the disk to be not installed.  Start the array, stop the array.  Set the disk back.  Then start and it will begin to rebuild

Ok, I rebuilt the drive in a different hdd bay with a different SAS cable. It said it was successful and stayed up about a day before redballing again. This is the brand new replacement drive that passed 3 preclear cycles. The drive failed in the middle of a non-correcting parity check. I'm not sure if that's related or not. I am attaching a new log. Any insight or troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I haven't seen any mention of power supply in the thread. You don't have many drives so it shouldn't take a lot, but what is the exact model of your power supply?

My power supply is the SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold (SS-650KM): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088

 

If memory serves, I think it's all coming off of a single 12v rail. Thank you for the help!

If anyone has any ideas, i'm kinda desperate here. I feel like a sitting duck without a valid parity...

Since no new else has had any ideas, I might suggest that you contact LimeTech via an e-mail and link to this thread.
