jetsetjimbo Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi all, I've recently had a drive redball which I replaced, then ran a successful parity check, as the attached log should show. I then attempted a pre-clear on the failed drive. This morning I've woken to find multiple drives showing errors and another (virtually new WD Red drive) marked as failed. Really not sure what to do from here. As things stand the system is still up and I have resisted doing a reboot. If anyone who really understands these logs could take a look and let me know what they think I'd be most grateful! James tower-syslog-20161108-0601.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Looks like multiple disks dropped offline, probably a controller issue, you should post the complete diagnostics, not just the syslog. Quote Link to comment

Apologies. Full diagnostics attached. Any help is gratefully received. tower-diagnostics-20161108-0904.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 All disks with issues are on the SASLP, you should shutdown, re-seat controller, check cables and power up again. The disable disk will remain disable, but you'll be able to see its SMART info, or post new diagnostics, and decide if it looks OK to rebuild on the same disk. P.S.: The SASLP is working at pcie x1 speed only, this will make rebuilds very slow, there may be a bios settings to change that (possibly disabling other components). Quote Link to comment
jetsetjimbo Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Thanks, I will try this and report back later. Would you expect to see the adjustment for the PCI speed in the bios of the motherboard or the controller card? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 In the bios, it's also possible that the slot is really x1 electrically, and in that case nothing can be done, it should be specified in the board's specs. Quote Link to comment
jetsetjimbo Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ok so that worked and as you said the disk remained disabled but the other drives reappeared. I started the array ok, then stopped it again. Upon trying to start the array back up the web UI hung when mounting disks. The system still pings and I can telnet but I'm not sure how to go about shutting it down now. If I have to pull the plug I'm sure it will want to try a parity check on restart which can only be bad if a disk is disabled? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Probably a filesystem issue, type diagnostics in the console to save them to the flash drive, them if you have the powerdown plugin try a clean powerdown, if not or it doesn't work try typing reboot. Quote Link to comment
