mfwade Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 All, Need your help. For the 2nd time after ~60 days (last time was 59 if memory serves), my array is acting weird. When logging in to view the array, only 'some' of the tabs are shown, the web interface is slow and close to unresponsive. Shares are no longer visible on the network however, docker containers and virtual machines appear to be running. There is a constant Array Started . starting services... flashing in the lower left-hand corner of the web interface. Additionally, I am concerned that if I just hard power down the array the parity check will kick off for over 20 plus hours. This also results in unresponsive performance, slow gui, etc. I did post about this some time ago and no errors were observed.

I am beginning to wonder if there is an underlying issue with the total number of drives albeit SAS and the SSD combination. That being said, in the arrays current condition there is no method available via the web gui to go back. Diagnostics attached. Thank you all in advance! unraid-1-diagnostics-20190920-0058.zip Quote Link to comment

mfwade Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thanks Johnnie. I did see that after I sent the request for help. Is there an official replacement procedure to swap it out? I do have a backup of the drive albeit dated 5/31/2019 - so I at least have something.... I have more current backups (as of last week) on an unassigned device however, I can't access it in this current state. Regardless, I still have to power it down so maybe I will try to grab a good copy after a reboot. I should be ok with parity as well however, if needed I will kick one off and wait patiently.

JorgeB Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 As long as there were no array device changes since last backup you can use that. Quote Link to comment
mfwade Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well, tried creating 3 different USB drives with no luck. Tried with the backup zip file and then without (image from Unraid site). Still no luck. The USB would appear to boot, bring up the Unraid boot screen, then count down from 5 to 0 then continue to start over again. Tried to change the menu to i.e. w/Web Gui and nothing, just remains on the screen. I did all of the USB drives from my Mac. Each of the drives were from a different manufacturer. All were 8G in size and USB 2.0. Tried the 6.7.0 and 6.7.2 images from the Unraid site. Give up... Reinserted the perceived faulty drive and booted right up - just like last time (just rebooted without any troubleshooting). Seems odd that it happened right around ~60 days ago. Will keep an eye on it and if it starts to go wonky again, I will replace it with one made from a Windows machine (maybe there is a difference....). Or, if right around the 60 day mark, will formally request assistance from the big guy - as then it would no longer be a coincidence as the timing is too specific. Still can't run a parity check as the machine becomes completely unusable to the point it drops pings intermittently and the web interface is unresponsive, shares not accessible, etc. Maybe one day the big guy @limetech will be able to duplicate this (doubtful) and offer up a solution. Maybe I am the only one running a full enterprise SSD SAS array with external shelves with an unlimited drives license - 28 data + 2 parity. At any rate, I can offer my support for testing if he/they would like.... Thanks again to those that answered. As always, a huge thank you for this forum! Quote Link to comment
