Yellow Bananas Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Just started loading unraid on my server box. Put 1 old WD red 3TB (the only one left from Freenas set up that didn't have bad sectors), 1 new WD red 3TB, 4 Seagate Constellation ES 3 TB, 2 HP Constellation ES 4TB, and Samsung 850 EVO SSD 250GB. Loaded these 2 days ago: 4 ea 3TB Seagates for data pool 2 ea WD Reds for data pool 850 EVO for cache Cache SSD healthy. The 6 data drives went through preclear no errors and added to pool and healthy. Jump to 2 days later. In process of added 1 each 4TB as parity drive. Problem: Today I added the other 4TB drive as a parity drive. As I look at the parity-sync process, 2 of the Seagate 3 TB drives have lost their temp reading (just showing *) and are racking up massive read errors. Over 350 million and climbing with 5 1/2 hours still left to finish parity-sync. Is this a known issue? The other 4 data drives are fine. All 6 drives are showing healthy in the Array display. thnx YB Quote
trurl Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Probably connection problems. Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post. Quote
Yellow Bananas Posted June 6, 2020 Author Posted June 6, 2020 Thanx for the quick response. YB bugsy-diagnostics-20200606-1349.zip Quote
trurl Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Which controller is disk3 and disk4 connected to? Quote
Yellow Bananas Posted June 6, 2020 Author Posted June 6, 2020 all disks are connected to motherboard sata ports. I believe on board controller is set to disable cause freenas required that. Quote
trurl Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 The reason I ask is because there is a Marvell controller showing up in your diagnostics. Is this a separate controller card? Or is it some of the motherboard ports? Quote
Yellow Bananas Posted June 7, 2020 Author Posted June 7, 2020 hmm ill check into it. parity sync failed and the 2 error drives disconnected from the pool. Ill check into it and do a few more things. thank you for your help. YB Quote
Hoopster Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 12 minutes ago, Yellow Bananas said: parity sync failed and the 2 error drives disconnected from the pool. Marvell controllers are notorious for dropping drives from unRAID array or for just not showing them in the first place. See if you can determine which SATA ports (onboard or PCIe card) are controlled by the Marvell chip and which drives are connected to those ports. Quote
Yellow Bananas Posted June 7, 2020 Author Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) yeah I see a Marvell 9230 sata 3 controller in the manual. A picture in BIOS. After the preclear for my other 4TB drive finishes ill go to BIOS and see about disabling it. Not sure if disabled, if it will revert to SATA 1 or 2. Have to check into it. YB Problem resolved. I moved 2 data disks to other sata ports and restarted, pool up and running. Edited June 8, 2020 by Yellow Bananas problem resolved 1 Quote
