upthetoon Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hi, My server had a problem booting up last week (the CPU fan wasn't spinning). I had a second machine being used as a PC so swapped all the drives into that and it booted up fine into unraid and everything seemed good. A parity check has now completed and its come back with over 700k errors. This was a scheduled check with had "Write corrections to parity disk" set to "yes". I'm now thinking that was a mistake... I've kicked off a second check (which won't write corrections). Attached are the diagnostics. Advice appreciated... ridcully-diagnostics-20200806-0802.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If next check finds 0 errors likely parity wasn't valid before, if it finds more then you likely have a hardware issue, like bad RAM. 56 minutes ago, upthetoon said: This was a scheduled check with had "Write corrections to parity disk" set to "yes" We recommend setting scheduled checks to non correct.

upthetoon Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Last check completed on Fri 07 Aug 2020 08:24:00 AM BST (today), finding 0 errors. Duration: 1 day, 10 hours, 53 minutes, 4 seconds. Average speed: 111.5 MB/sec Looks like parity wasn't valid. That's a slight worry, not sure how that happened. Better than a hardware problem though... 1 Quote Link to comment
