Mogo Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 First off not sure if this is the right section, sorry if it is not. I know I'm running unraid v6... not sure of the specific version though. There was a parity check that failed after an hour thought it was strange. Went and saw the server was constantly rebooting. I did a manual shutdown from the power button on the case and turned it backed on. What i saw was after picking to launch from gui, a few moments later the server would reboot. This might be a hardware issue, not sure. Is there any way to check or diagnose what the problem might be? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Mogo Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 I think i found the issue.. 2 out of 3 case fans cooling the hard drives were not spinning. Is there anyway to get alerted if something like this happens again? Quote Link to comment

I do. I always get Disk X is hot etc.. whenever parity is being checked. So i generally ignore those notifications. In this instance it was valid, unless the disks should not be hot when running parity? Generally an alert is sent when it hits 51 degrees celcius. The last time a parity check was done I even got a notice that the disk was overheated since it reached 56 degress celcius. Are these temperatures normal or should I be concerned?

itimpi Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Ideally your cooling should be set up so that the disks never overheat. I know on my system the disks never overheat unless a fan is mis-behaving. Quote Link to comment
Mogo Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Thanks, I believe I resolved this issue. The temps for all hard drives are being reported below 30 degrees celcius now. There was a setting in the bios of the motherboard that apparently was controlling the fans. It was set on something like automatic smart control. I disabled that and had the fan setting set to full. The server is way louder now but at least the hard drives and overall server temperatures are way.. and I mean way lower. Quote Link to comment
