Parity disk disappeared after upgrade....


Recommended Posts

Upgraded from 6.8.1 to 6.8.3 -- I do know that my parity drive was displayed green and working fine before the upgrade but I can't for sure say it failed after the upgrade.  Did the regular upgrade and a reboot and a couple of weeks later logged in to see a message that there was no parity drive in my array.  Checked the physical drives and they have not changed/moved (although I did try swapping which bay my parity drive was in to no effect.)  

 

Diagnostics attached.

So weird -- never seen this before.  Seems like the drive controller is completely dead.  Plugged it into a USB interface that I have and isn't detected on two different laptops.  Unfortunately I don't have a desktop to check it on but it doesn't even spin up or blink when plugged in.  I'll call it dead and order a new one.

 

Anyone seen a drive die this way with no SMART warnings or errors -- just decides to die?
