Is my raid screwed now?

I dunno if I did something wrong; was moving my raid from 1 rack to another rack, so I spun down the drives, took the raid offline then hit power down. Waited till I couldn't access the web portal and a few minutes later then killed power.

 

First it mentioned some CRC errors, looked it up seen issue might be cabling. Thought I moved it so maybe. However now I can't kill the array, docker won't work.

4/5 drives reporting healthy, error on parity 1 and parity check in process.


Moved server, and now parity drive 1 is giving 200-500k errors an hour, and the parity check is saying it will take over 500 days(Parity check at 200 kb/s).

Docker will work but is very slow, CPU is pinned at 100%(9600k) and barely any dockers will work. Dockers are running on cache drives and no error on cache pool so?

I attached the file for smart scan on sdc which is drive that says errors are happening on.

 

Would it be beneficial or suggested to force kill the array; take that drive and reformat it then register it as a new parity drive to rebuild the array instead of parity checking?

No idea where to go from here; according to web portal it's going to take over 50 days to 500 days to finish parity check, and docker is barely working during this parity check.

Normally it runs at 100 MB/s, so running < 1 MB/s is leading me to believe something is severely screwed.

Except for the CRC errors which usually just indicate a bad connection, drive looks OK.

 

You mention reformatting parity. Parity doesn't have a format. You have a common misunderstanding of the meaning of the word format, a misunderstanding which sometimes gets people in trouble when they mistakenly apply it to a data disk.

 

 

Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics zip file to your NEXT post.

Well by reformat I mean redo, reinitialize, take it off as a parity drive, and begin like it's a "new" parity drive.

If that makes sense?

Best word I could find for it was format but yes I realize that's not the best word for it.

Is there any reason my parity check is running at 600 kb/s on brand new NAS rated drives that were running at 100 MB/s the week before on a parity check? 

Is there anything I can do or... Just wait 200 days for something that might work while my NAS runs like a pentium 2?

Any files I can upload to maybe figure out why?

Shut down, check all connections, SATA and power, both ends, including any power splitters. Reboot and post new diagnostic.

So just to confirm

 

Cancel Parity

 

Stop Array

 

Power Down

 

Turn power off to computer.

Unhook and check each and every SATA and Power connection.

Power Back on.

Would this be correct?
