May 16, 20197 yr Got home from work today, and happened to see that a new unraid version was available so I decided to upgrade. I backed up the flash drive, and then I ran the upgrade assistant tool, which advised me to upgrade a couple of plugins, which I did. Plugins sorted I started the upgrade, which completed just fine and told me to reboot. Upon rebooting Disk 4 is now showing as "Unmountable: No file system". Prior to the upgrade I didn't notice any issues or warnings. About 3 weeks ago the server did shut down abnormally when a power outage exceeded my UPS standby time, but it had been running fine since being restarted. I have only tried the most basic troubleshooting. I tried restarting with no change. I also tried a new SATA cable and swapping SATA ports on the motherboard, but the error remains on the original disk 4, not the cable or port. I have attached my diagnostics tool zip file. I don't have a spare disk at the moment because I used it on another system, but I already have on order. In the meantime I have shut down the server since it houses less than critical data that I can live without for a few days. While I wait, I would like to know what happened, in case it's something that I did or something otherwise preventable in the future. While I wait for the replacement drive I guess I need to read up on how to replace a drive and rebuild the array since this is my first failure since starting to use unraid. EDIT Rolled back the OS to version 6.6.7 but the drive is still unmountable. Seems like maybe it is a drive issue that just didn't show up until the system was reboot. ghost-diagnostics-20190516-0154.zip Edited May 16, 20197 yr by jkBuckethead

First I tried xfs_repair from the terminal window, which seemed to return an error and stop. I can't figure how to copy text from the terminal window so I've done my best to repeat the results below. xfs_repair result Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... - block cashe size set to 323016 entries Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... zero_log: head block 116006 tail block 116002 ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in the log which needs to be replayed. Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before re-running xfs_repair. If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use the -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair. Note that destroying the log may cause corruption -- please attempt a mount of the file system before doing this. I checked out the -L option under xfs_repair, and it had this to say: -L Force Log Zeroing. Forces xfs_repair to zero the log even if it is dirty (contains metadata changes). When using this option the filesystem will likely appear to be corrupt, and can cause the loss of user files and/or data. Since this didn't sound promising, I moved on to the webGUI option. The webGUI option first returned an ALERT that was similar to the error above, but still essentially cautioned to first mount my (unmountable) file system. It did however complete the scen, the results of which are below. The wiki indicates that the file system check should clearly indicate what steps should be taken if a repair is required. Maybe I'm missing something, but I do not see any suggestions below. Since nothing was suggested, I restarted the array normally and still the disk is unmountable. With no obvious error, does this mean my disk is toast? My replacement should arrive tomorrow. Is rebuilding from parity the bet option? After that I can pull the disc and more thoroughly test it. webGUI file system check results Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... - block cache size set to 323016 entries Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... zero_log: head block 116006 tail block 116002 ALERT: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which is being ignored because the -n option was used.

May 17, 20197 yr Community Expert It is quite normal to have to use the -L flag with xfs_repair and it virtually never has any adverse affect. Even if it does it is only likely to affect the very last file that was being written. The log you posted shows that if run with -L and WITHOUT -n the xfs_repair should succeed and the disk would be mountable. Note that a rebuild does NOT fix file system corruption. If you have a disk flagged as unmountable before a rebuild it will be unmountable after the rebuild. Only a successful run of xfs_repair can fix that.

May 17, 20197 yr Author Thanks to all. The file system status check with the -L switch seems to have done the trick.
May 17, 20197 yr Community Expert Don't forget there will be some corrupt data on disk4, and you need to replace disk3, and its rebuild will also have some corruption, because of the previous one. Ignore, wrong thread Edited May 17, 20197 yr by johnnie.black
