oglops Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi guys, noob here setting up my first array. I have 1 4TB parity, 1 4TB data, and a 512GB SSD cache drive. Upon starting the array for the first time, everything was going fine for about an hour until getting 1 short beep and the estimated time went to 700 days. I checked the asrock site and 1 short beep is memory refresh timer error but the unraid syslog also showing a lot of link is slow to respond messages so I am not sure. Attached is the syslog from today Thanks! potemkin-syslog-20200515-2306.zip Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Connection problem with parity. Check all disk connections, SATA and power, both ends, including any power splitters. Quote Link to comment
oglops Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Ok, this time I swapped in a new SATA cable for each drive, checked all the power connections too. The parity check got stopped at the same point this time, now with disk write errors. Is this looking like something wrong with the parity disk specifically? Attached the diagnostic check, thanks for your help with this. potemkin-diagnostics-20200517-1602.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 SMART for parity disk looks OK but that doesn't always tell the whole story. You might run extended SMART test on the disk. Quote Link to comment
oglops Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Thanks, so I ran the extended SMART self test on that parity drive, and a few hours later it started making some pretty strange noises but I let it keep running overnight. Today- that disk is gone from the parity display on the dashboard, not listed in the dropdown menus in main, and gone from the SCSI Devices in System Devices. Guessing this drive is dead or broken? In the syslog, the drive was omitted in the second time it printed the device inventory after I ran the SMART test. potemkin-diagnostics-20200518-0907.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 If the disk dropped during the SMART test is likely bad, though make sure power is OK. Quote Link to comment
