You may also want to consider converting all your disks to xfs, reiserfs can the source of stability issues for some users with unRAID v6. Thank You. I am using the WebGUI to run the checks (rebooted and mounted under maintenance) - was the easiest way to run it. Might have to run it from terminal now. On converting to xfs - is there a Wiki link on how to do that safely without corrupting the data? I do have a mix of drives - the ones I added recently are all xfs I believe.

In the meanwhile here are the file system check reports - no corruptions on any of the 12 data disks. But I did notice that disk 3 has a 'Failing Now' on one of the smart attributes. Not sure if that is the cause for all this. Is that drive dying? FileSysChk.7z ST3000DM001-9YN166_W1F0F71L-20170711-1147.txt

This is an unassigned drive in the system which has been pre-cleared already. Wondering whether I should swap them and rebuild while I wait for the new one to arrive?

That is what I thought - slowly replacing all of them one by one. ( I will have 5 more to go after this one). I will report back in a week or so if the issue is resolved after the drive is replaced and data is restored (fingers and toes crossed). Thanks for all your help - to everyone who contributed.
July 11, 20178 yr Community Expert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST3000DM001 Quote Backblaze, a remote backup service company, observed that its ST3000DM001 drives have failed at rates far higher than the average of other hard drives.[2] Only 251 of the 4,190 ST3000DM001 hard drives placed in service in 2012 were still in service as of 31 March 2015.[3]
July 17, 20178 yr Author Community Expert Okay pre-cleared and rebuilt that drive and everything was working well for a couple of days - but it went down again today morning. Shares are inaccessible and the web-gui won't connect but telnet connects and works well. Any idea what is going on?

July 17, 20178 yr Community Expert Type reboot to try and do a clean shutdown, if it doesn't work you'll need to press reset, check the logs folder on the flashdrive to see if the diags are there.

No reboot doesn't work (see the quote below) - it says the system is now rebooting or powering down but nothing happens and I have to physically reboot and restart, then I get an unclean shutdown detected. No diags in flash. I can run them now (after the unclean shutdown) and post.

It reponds with a message that shutdown is initiated but nothing happens.
