February 18, 20179 yr Yesterday morning I found some problems with my VM's been not accessible. After a reboot I have found my PARITY DISC DISSABLED. I can't think of a cause to these problems as I'm running the same dockers and vm's since november without any problem. I changed my computer some weeks ago but have been running without any problem since yesterday. I can only think of a system upgrade to 6.3 / 6.3.1 / 6.3.2 . Attached diagnostic file. Any help / idea will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou Gus
February 18, 20179 yr Community Expert SMART for parity looks fine, but since you rebooted we can see what happened, check/replace cables, re-sync parity and if it happens again grab the diags before rebooting.

Thankyou @johnnie.black To re-sync parity disk I have to make a "new config" without parity disk and then a "new config" with the parity disk again? Thankyou Gus
February 18, 20179 yr Community Expert One more thing, the Marvell ports on those Asrock boards are notoriously problematic, you want to avoid them at all costs, you have enough Intel PCH ports for all disks, your SSD and one of your disks is on the Marvell controller, do you wanna guess which one is there?
February 18, 20179 yr Community Expert To sync parity change both devices using the Marvell controller to the Intel ports, then unassign parity, start array, stop array, re-assign parity, start array to begin parity sync.
February 18, 20179 yr ... your SSD and one of your disks is on the Marvell controller, do you wanna guess which one is there? :)
February 18, 20179 yr Author Yes, Parity and SSD are on the marvel. Are Marvel problematic? Change all disc the to the intel controller? Thankyou Gus
February 18, 20179 yr Community Expert Are Marvel problematic? In general yes, but on those board they are especially prone to dropping disks. Change all disc the to the intel controller? Yes
February 18, 20179 yr I've seen the same issue with Windows and the Marvel controllers -- adding a new disk on a Marvel port can be very problematic. It usually works ... eventually ... but it can take MINUTES to detect the new drive; whereas on an Intel port it's instantaneous. I haven't seen it drop out once it's "known" to Windows -- but it's nevertheless frustrating.
February 22, 20179 yr Author I have attached all sata cables to the intel controller to start a new PARITY SYNC. After some minutes I have got the same problems as before. Some read errors on 2 disks. I have stopped parity sync until know what to do. Can it be caused by a faulty "Icy Dock MB975SP-B" case I have put? Attached diagnostics file.

February 23, 20179 yr Community Expert To be more exact, 3 disks and 1 ssd, only disk2 is on the intel controller.

The 2 white sata conectors just at the left of the "marvell DO NOT USE conectors" I suppose are the 6Gb/s. Perhaps will be better to attach parity and ssd to this connectors and let the others for the data disks? Thankyou Gus

BTW how can a manufacter like asrock mount a controller like those "faulty" MARVELL's SE9230 ? Isn't there any firmware update to correct this? It's worth to lose time triying to fix it or if I need more sata use a DELL PERC H310 I bought? Thankyou Gus
February 23, 20179 yr Community Expert I wouldn't say it's faulty, but it does have issues, seems to be worse with current Linux kernels. I believe there's a firmware update for it, check the Asrock support page, still would avoid using, at least with unRAID.
February 23, 20179 yr Author PARITY SYNC DONE !!! without any error. Finally solved. Thankyou all the people who helped specially @johnnie.black Gus
