October 18, 20169 yr Half my dockers were not working anymore, and the printout on the screen gave me this I tried to get the syslog before a cold reboot but un-able to get it through the GUI. After my reboot, just noticed both my cache drives are missing. Also attached is my diagnostics log. tower-diagnostics-20161018-1038.zip
October 18, 20169 yr Community Expert My guess would be that the two drives that were sdg and sdh have dropped offline for some reason. It maybe that a poweroff/poweron may bring them back online. Perhaps you can give more information on how your drives are connected to see if the two drives share a disk controller and that was the cause of the original issue.

The two cache drives that are in question 2x1tb Mushkin Reactor SSD, and they are directly connected to my EP2C602-4L/D16 on SATAIIIM0 & SATAIIIM1
October 18, 20169 yr Community Expert Avoid using the Marvell ports, you have 6 unused Intel PCH ports, use those first. Marvell 9230 is known to have issues.
October 18, 20169 yr Author I think both drives died. When I disconnect from motherboard, unRaid will boot up no problem. But the instant I hook them up individually or together in the Marvell SATA Port, HBA Adapter, and just tried the PCH SATA Connection, it hangs on the bios logo boot screen. tower-diagnostics-20161018-1311.zip
October 18, 20169 yr Marvell 9230 is known to have issues. Are the issues related to the fact that the chip supports hardware RAID? I use a 9235-based controller without any problems. The only difference seems to be that the 9235 doesn't support hardware RAID, otherwise they are similar - PCIe 2.0 (two lanes) to four 6 Gb/s SATA.

The only difference seems to be that the 9235 doesn't support hardware RAID, otherwise they are similar - PCIe 2.0 (two lanes) to four 6 Gb/s SATA. It seems to be hardware/config specific, i.e., not everyone has issues, but there are too many users with issues with them.
October 18, 20169 yr Perhaps I'm lucky. Perhaps that luck will run out with a future update. It actually seems quite difficult to find a SATA controller that you can be confident will just work, straight out of the box.
