What are "Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen" Errors?

You're having multiple issues:

 

1) the 4 disks connected on the port multiplier were missing at boot-up:

May 13 00:27:27 nasvm kernel: mdcmd (10): import 9
May 13 00:27:27 nasvm kernel: md: import_slot: 9 missing
May 13 00:27:27 nasvm kernel: mdcmd (11): import 10
May 13 00:27:27 nasvm kernel: md: import_slot: 10 missing
May 13 00:27:27 nasvm kernel: mdcmd (12): import 11
May 13 00:27:27 nasvm kernel: md: import_slot: 11 missing
May 13 00:27:27 nasvm kernel: mdcmd (13): import 12
May 13 00:27:27 nasvm kernel: md: import_slot: 12 missing

The controller reset itself and the 4 disks appeared, have read of issues with asmedia + port multiplier before, though after this initial hiccup they behaved.

This is a know issue with these controllers, advise to replace it with an LSI (get an 8 port one and can rid of the port multiplier also)

Thanks for the info. 

 

I just ordered an LSI 8 port controller. I suspected that additional cheapie one may be the issue. I'll swap that Parity drive too. I recently got a deal on an 8TB seagate but it's not going to cut it as a parity drive. I'll move it to another slot.

 

That port multiplier problem may be harder to resolve... thats because I have those 4 drives in an external enclosure because I don't have enough drive slots in my tower.

I am running into the same issue using my ASRock EP2C602 onboard controllers.... I think the Marvell ones are choking.

 

Everything was working great until I attempted a bulk copy via GbE port from another machine, which must have pushed the controller a bit harder then when I copied files to the array via a WiFi connection.  After the copy via GbE ran for a while, the system suddenly hung, GUI was unresponsive and I had to do a hard reset/reboot.   And now see errors similar to what you reported.

 

I did a search on the forums for info on the LSI controller board mentioned, but got a lot of confusing hits.

 

Can you point me to the model LSI board you ordered?  Does it have to have the firmware refreshed or anything for it to work properly with UnRAID?

 

Thanks!

You definitely don't want to use the 4 Marvell ports on those boards, you're going to have disks dropping willy-nilly.

Well, quick update so far.  Marvell controller firmware updated with no problems.  System is currently rebuilding parity drive.  While being done, I performed the GbE file copy that caused the issue and everything went fine.  Continuing to do multiple gigabytes of file copies, so far so good.  I'll come back with another update after I have more info.

 

Thanks for everyone's help.

I was getting an "Exception Emask 0x0 SAct..." error.  I swapped out the data and power cables but the issue remained.  Then I realized that the BIOS setting for the SATA controller had somehow been changed to Disabled.  I reenabled AHCI for the controller and the error stopped.  The constant I/O activity totally stopped as well.  It was being seen as an IDE disk rather than a SATA disk by the BIOS I suppose.
