Doug Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hello, I have been dealing with some Parity Check Errors lately and I cannot seem to get them to clear. I have ran extended SMART tests on each drive and they each passed. I am receiving less than 10 errors now but they are never really consistent. How can I go about pin pointing what is causing this? Here are the details: Unraid 6.1.4 Attached Smart Tests for Each Disk Any advice would be great! Thanks SMART_Tests.zip Quote Link to comment
methanoid Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Not that I know the solution but the general suggestion is to post details of your full machine spec etc... could be hardware (PSU, drives), could be s/w (old unRAID etc)... Quote Link to comment

Doug Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think this is my issue but i don't know what it means exactly. Quote Link to comment

Doug Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Let me know if you don't understand what I asked for and I will elaborate. Tools - Diagnostics. Have you done a memtest? No I understand. Finding time to access the server physically is tough. I have been doing this all remotely! When I get a chance, I will do a memtest. I do not have a monitor or anything setup that's easily accessible. At the moment, I disabled the HDD that I believe is the "ata7.00". Did a parity sync and am now running a parity check. Unfortunately that takes 6.5 hours so troubleshooting is limited to twice a day when I am doing these things. I will keep you updated on if what I just did corrects the issue which will tell me it's the drive I disabled or not. If not, then I will run a memtest. Thanks for your response!

Doug Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well I have an update after running another parity check all morning. After disabling the drive that corresponded to ata7.00 I received no errors on the parity check. So that tells me it can be one of three things. The drive itself,sata cable, or sata port! I think the next step is to swap it with a working drive (possibly smaller) to make the parity check go a little faster to determine if I still receive errors. If I do then it's the cable or port. If I don't then I would have to assume it's the drive. Quote Link to comment
