megadeathmick Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Hi guys, So first time I have had to post, which is a good thing I guess, but I think this time I'm in trouble. 2 drives - unmountable: No file system. And I'm sure I have messed the drive order allocation in the array. Unclean shutdown, power was disconnected. Powered unraid back on All disks were unmounted no drives in the array (I had a screenshot of drive order, where would you store it... on the unraid server... genius I know) All drives appeared under the unassigned devices (not sure if it's worth mentioning but I believe the only drive under the unassigned drives which the mount button was greyed out is the parity drive (I think it’s the parity)) I am 99% sure which drive is parity. It's 1 of 2 10Tb drives (50% chance to stuff it up) I took an uneducated guess and assigned all data drives to the array Did not assign parity (don’t know why I have not assigned parity) Started the array 2 drives have errors / unmounted Disk 2 -xfs and disk 4 - resefs - Unmountable: No file system After reading lots of forum posts I decided to Put array in Maintenance Mode (still no parity mounted) I ran a check - Read-Check of all array drives Finished after 23 hours no errors Still 2 drives with errors - Unmountable: No file system The more I read the more I am stressing out and getting confused. As the read-check was running the forum posts I was reading were to run xfs_repair command So I ran the following xfs_repair -v /dev/md4 resulted in: Bad primary superblock - bad magic number!!! Attempting to find secondary superblock... .......... All I am seeing is ...... on the screen Still waiting for it to finish, 2 hours so far. Too much time thinking while waiting, so thought I might post asking for some advice. Was going to wait for the repair to finish. One thought I did have was, worst case I could move the data from the failed drives to the 10Tb data drive, as it's pretty new and nearly empty. Not sure if this is a good idea or not also not sure the best way to do it. So while I wait for the xfs_repair command to finish and I am assuming fail is there any suggestions please, I’m quite lost at the moment. Thank you for your time in advance I have attached a disgnostics. tower-diagnostics-20190404-1552.zip Link to comment
megadeathmick Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 further to the above post The xfs_repair just finished, a total of 7 hours, the result: Sorry, could not find a vaild secondary superblock Exiting now. Could be in a whole lot of trouble now Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Post the diagnostics after starting the array in normal mode, so a disk mount is attempted, also, you're having issues with the flash drive, so first reboot and use a USB 2.0 port instead. Link to comment
megadeathmick Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 I moved the flash drive to a USB 2.0 port at the back of the pc (I/O panel, next to the PS/2 port). I did have the flash drive connected to a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard inside the case. attached a diagnostics thanks tower-diagnostics-20190406-0022.zip Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Still having a lot of flash drive errors, it could be failing. With the array stopped click on both disks 2 and 4, change filesystem to auto and start array again. Link to comment
megadeathmick Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Wow .... your good Both disks are back online !!! Thought I was stuffed. So I will add the parity drive back now. Is there anything else I should be doing. Guess the first thing is to buy a new flash drive. Does the drive position matter, disk 1 disk 2, I'm sure I got it wrong Thanks so much Link to comment

megadeathmick Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 I do remember reading that, I am 100% on my parity drive. I will just wait for the Parity-Sync/Data-Rebuild to finish. Thank you again really appericate your help. Link to comment
