October 2, 20196 yr Hi there, as the title says, I have two separate consecutive parity checks that reported two errors each. I believe they may be the same errors. 1) Where do I find the errors and how do I correct this? I have appended the diagnostics.zip file for your analysis. 2) Separately, I get a log of errors relating to ata5: is this a SATA cable to Disk5? Thank you in advance for your advice. Regards. cL clnasty-diagnostics-20191002-0905.zip Edited November 22, 20196 yr by cliewmc typo
October 2, 20196 yr I would replace the cable for Disk 5, Log shows it resetting many times.

October 2, 20196 yr Author Thanks - I checked and it turned out to be a faulty SATA port with a history. The entire port was dislodged from the mobo. I had to patch it back and it looks like it was not patched properly. Such a shame, I may have to change the mobo & entire system just because of a single SATA port!!!

October 2, 20196 yr Author Upon reboot, there were no errors so I am hopeful it will stay that way. 😥
October 2, 20196 yr You could buy a LSI controller, 9211-8i in IT mode..just a thought Cheaper than replacing the mobo etc. Edited October 2, 20196 yr by HK-Steve
October 2, 20196 yr Author It's got one already. I am all out of SATA ports. What's a recommended server case, mobo & CPU configuration? A link to any current posting is appreciated. I did a quick search but came up zilch. Regards. cL
October 2, 20196 yr I just ordered a 9201-16i, would give you enough also... Arrives in a couple of days... Still cheaper than replacing your current Tower gear.
October 2, 20196 yr This is the ebay seller I bought off, https://www.ebay.com/itm/9205-8I-9207-8I-9201-16I-9201-8I-9211-8I-9340-8I-IT-Mode-for-ZFS-FreeNAS-unRAID/132902519120?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=432201158266&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I suspect it's a counterfeit card.

October 4, 20196 yr Controller arrived, installed and booted no worries, This is a headless Tower, so did not see the Firmware version. Will do that later today. UnRaid in Tools, System Devices listed as Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2116 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Meteor] (rev 02)
October 4, 20196 yr Author Haha, happy days! Can’t wait for mine to arrive. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
