10+day Parity check ETA...

Recommended Posts

My current parity check has a estimated finish time of almost 10 days, its been a day since it started. Overall I have been having ton of docker issues, crashing, becoming unresponsive. Ive been thinking some piece of hardware is to blame, possibly to small of a PSU, to CPU cooling, or possibly a faulty raid controller. While my raid array is growing to nearly 25+ TB+ and a cache pool of about 800gb, ive but uninstalled all about Plex, deluge, krusader trying to troubleshoot, and its frustrating as I struggle to pin down what the underlying issues is.

 

I attached my current dianostics, which may not be much as the system was just rebooted yesterday. At some point i had setup my syslogs to be backed up after each reboot, but im not sure where they are, they probably have much more context to my overall issues I have been having.

 

If anyone could take a look at my logs, and maybe point me in a direction to get started id really appreciate it.

 

Thanks in advance!

I noticed this a few weeks ago, however the dashboard in unRaid only reports the CPU temp in the 80-90 F range. Which hardly seems right, I did login to my motherboards bios and tweak my cpu fan setting to run at max 2000+ rpm 24/7. I do have x6 120mm and x2 140mm setup in my case for cooling, it is a smaller compact case with almost 8 hdds and 4 ssds, however i never do get any high temp alarms for any of the hdds. That being said I did purchase a water cooling unit for my i5, as well as a 850w PSU, I was getting concerned that my original 550w PSU was maybe getting maxxxed out when under a heavy load.
 

Ive been hesitant to make any hardware changes because the last time I went tinkering around inside my case I accidentally set a hdd on fire trying to replace a bad drive, luckily I had dual parity setup and didnt loose any data.

IRQ16 got disabled, SASLP usually uses it, so performance will tank after that, rebooting will fix it, until it happens again, those controllers are not recommended for a long time, for many reasons.

 

Well, that doesn't surprise me, I have had a ton of issues since I started back in 2015 with my controller, I thought I had maybe dodge a bullet when I installed a replacement card and installed new sata port cables for it. 

 

A couple of questions for you:

 

First being could you point me to a new card or a current list of supported controllers, I checked https://wiki.unraid.net/Hardware_Compatibility#PCI_SATA_Controllers ; but I wasnt sure how current it is, as my SASLP card is listed as a compatible card. Id like a card that will work in my x4 pci slot if I don't lose any performance over the x16. So that I can have a dedicated gpu installed later for VMs.

 

Second, currently I have my 4 ssds installed using my onboard sata controller on my motherboard which I think is a Intel. Is it safe to leave them like that? Or do I need another sata controller card? Or do I need a card big enough to hold 8 hdds and 4 ssds? I think I will end up ditching 4 cache drives for 2 x500gb raid 0 pool instead here in the near future.

 

Thanks in advance for the help again!

Unfortunately not many x4 options, recommend HBAs are LSI, but they use a x8 slot.

 

No problem leaving the SSDs on the Intel ports, in fact it's usually the best place to connect them.

 

What about using my x16 slot for a controller card then, and try passing through onboard gpu instead? Dont think I absolutely need a dedidcated gpu for VMs anyways, more of something to tinker around with.

Will this work for my x16 slot and 8 hdd array?

SAS9211-8I 8PORT Int 6GB Sata+SAS Pcie 2.0 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RL8I7M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_C6SEDbMWCJB0N

Leaving the ssds on the motherboard sata controller?

Not without flashing to IT-Mode - the 9211-8i is a "RAID-Controller" - you need a HBA > flashing to IT-Mode by yourself at your own risk (i hope, this works) 😉.

So are you saying there are easier cards to setup for unraid

Again: You need a HBA (HostBusAdapter) and "not" a RAID-Controller.

All Controllers with a "0" in the lable are HBAs (IT-Mode) - see my signature - i use a LSI SAS 9207-8i (HBA, not RAID)

See also my post above "Info about LSI-Controllers" 😉
