Unraid stuck in array starting even after many attempts at shutting down.

Featured Replies

Hi,

I am having issues with my Unraid starting up.

When I got home, the server was powered off for some unknown reason so I turned it back on, now it's stuck in array starting. When I try rebooting using either GUI buttons and console, it just sits there. The only way I have been able to shut it down is forced shutdown by power button.

 

I haven't made changes to software since before the last update.

 

My system is:

6 core Intel Core i5 8400

24 GB of G.Skill Aegis

MSI Z370 SLI Plus

2 128 GB Silicon Power Ace SSD

3 HDD (2x 2TB) (1x 1TB)

 

I have uploaded the diagnostics zip.

 

Any help is appreciated!

Your parity drive desperately needs to be changed out

5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   PO--CK   073   073   036    -    18176
197 Current_Pending_Sector  -O--C-   001   001   000    -    48623

After handling that, I would consider also changing disk 3

  5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   PO--CK   168   168   140    -    255

You should enable and configure notifications within unRaid, as it would have let you know (presumably long ago) about the parity drive.

Okay, how do I get my unraid out of Array Starting to be able to make those changes, when I shutdown and power back up, it automatically starts

Disable array auto-start by editing disk.cfg on your flash drive (config/disk.cfg) and changing startArray="yes" to "no", then reboot.

Okay, that's changed but it wont let me change my parity device to my other 2TB drive it says it's the wrong drive for the slot.

What are you trying to do? You can't change two disks at the same time with single parity, and why are you trying to assign the failing parity as disk3?

I was just moving it around to see what disk I currently had in there. It wasn't for any purpose other than seeing what drives i had to replace. Even with removing the bad drive and replacing it with a good drive, it won't let that change take place.

You can't have two different to drives at once, if you move one drive from one slot to a different one you're trying to do that, since that disk will be missing in the original slot and is now a new disk on another slot, if you want to do that you need to do a new config (tools -> new config) , though and in case it's not obvious if you assign old disk3 to parity after a new config it will delete any data there.

So, should I wait till my new drives come in to make a change so I don't have to change Disk3?

  • Community Expert

If disk3 has data you have to wait or move it to other disks.

I get that part, I wanted to make sure that was the way I should go.
