Having some issues with my unraid server and aoc-saslp-mv8. Reasonably experience with Linux and unraid.

 

There doesn't seem to be any data issues, and the problem is solved by stopping / rebooting. Happens every 24-48 hours.

 

The problem is detailed below in the syslog exert, the section between "sas: --- Exit sas_scsi_recover_host" repeats until I reboot the server (196 MB syslog file).

 

2 WD WDC_WD15EARS Connected to the controller and 1 cache drive ST3500320AS.

 

I didn't jump the 7-8 pins (I plan to resolve that shortly), but I'm not sure if that is the cause.

 

First time posting let me know if any additional information will help.

 

Thanks

I don't think the jumper pins are the issue.

Could it be with the spindown and then having something wake it up, but the wakeup/spinup times out?

 

I suppose you could turn off the spindown for the drives on that controller temporarily and see.
