Hi,

 

I had yesterday errors on one of the array disks, it was marked as disabled and array failed

 

 

 

This is brand new disk so I restarted the server, attached this drive to array again and rebuild it - it went OK, all data was restored, the array was working again... for 24 hours

 

Today in the morning I got more error messages, so now it's 3 disks with errors, what the hell is happening here?

 

 

Can you help me sort this out?

Multiple disk errors suggest a controller issue, but syslog is getting spammed with ACPI errors so can't see anything else, see here how to fix that, then reboot and post new diags if/when it happens again.

Thanks!, you meant that before it happens, should I just rebuild it again?

Yes, assuming the disk is healthy, there are no SMART reports on the diags posted, you'll need to power cycle or reboot, also make sure the emulated disk is mounting correctly and contents look OK before rebuilding on top.

it is, well I think it is,

it's rebuilding right now, I also added the power disabling thing from linked topic - thanks I saw that logs before, but found out that it's just log and it's not affecting anything so I left it be - fixed

 

 

OK, so I'm half way in the process

 

Second drive that failed is rebuild and showing files properly (no idea if all of them...)

But, I noticed it yesterday during the process, disk 1 is Unmountable: No file system

i tried to fix it with xfs_repair -v /dev/sde but with no luck (it's going for last two hours with just doting my console output .......... )

That's not how you run xfs_repair with Unraid, see here:

https://wiki.unraid.net/Check_Disk_Filesystems

Yea, it's quite too late, still nothing in this matter, I'm in the same spot.

 

There are some metadata in the log, so check is suggesting, mount but mount is not mounting so back to square one

Use -L to destroy the log.

yes that's what I did, I'm running parity check again, we will see what happens...

 

thanks

 

so here we are again...

 

It is controller, isn't it?

 

 

Parity check managed to finish with no errors... then disk died again

Most likely, we really don't recommend using Marvell controllers with Unraid, especially the 9230.

I bought this card, because it's on the compatibility list

Yep, but it's not recommended since first Unraid V6 release, it worked OK with older releases.

damn,

 

I ordered cables for LSI last week, it should be here next week, will it be any better - will see...

 

 

 

LSI HBA is the best option, other than Intel SATA ports.

I have LSI 9206-16e but the plan was to use it for an external enclosure, now (before I get one) I just bought some SFF8644 to 4SATA cables and I hope it will be OK...

Why it has to be uphill, like always 😜

It's better and better 

I have cables already but... LSI seems to be dead (?)

After installation, it's warm when touched but does not show in the BIOS nor in the lspci

supposedly it was tested by the seller...
