dbrowne Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I just upgraded my parity drive from a 12 to 16TB one. I intended to repurpose the 12 TB drive to replace a smaller one in the build. But before doing that, and invoking another 6 day parity rebuild, I had 3.8 TB sitting in the cache that I decided to move onto the raid array first. I pressed the move button and lost the gui, neither can I telnet in. I can see that the indicator light on my cache drive is a solid hard working blue, while the rest of my drives are running as dimmer, but constantly flickering, blue as well, leading me to believe that they are likely all being written to. I am loathe to do a hard reboot for fear of losing or corrupting the data, but how long is it unreasonable to leave this running in the hope that the data transfer reaches some sort of conclusion before deciding to do so? It has so far been five days. Unraid 6.something; as I'm locked out, so I can't check which version. 72TB on 16 drives + cache and parity. Parity rebuild speeds vary from 20MB/s to 60MB/s. Any advice, however uninformed, is gratefully appreciated. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Is anything showing on a locally attached monitor? Quote Link to comment
dbrowne Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Yes, the following. It is however unresponsive to keyboard entries. Quote Link to comment
dbrowne Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 So, I can reboot and and select any of the options on the launch page, but all the unraids types result in the same above screen. At that point it becomes unresponsive to keyboard entries and I have to reboot. For lack of other options, I decided to do the memtest, and at present I see the following. Is this likely to be the culprit? If so, odd that it chose to manifest just as I invoked the Move function. Is it really likely to be just a case of swapping out the memory? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Any time a memory test does not return 0 errors you need to resolve the problem as memory errors can cause unpredictable symptoms. Quote Link to comment
