I just woke up this morning to a partly shut down unraid system.

Last night my parity check started as it does every week. But when I woke up, all VMs and docker containers were offline, the dashboard could'n be shown and the parity disk was shown as disabled due to errors. The SMART stats on the disk says nothing about errors, and the system recognizes the disk after a reboot etc. But i can not get the status from disabled back to normal.

 

What can cause this issue? 
Do I need to replace the drive? 

 It's a "fairly new" drive which only have a year ontime. And it replaced a faulty parity disk that died from me two weeks ago.

 

Here is a few screenshots for info:

 

 

 

Crossing my fingers that we have some smart people out there that can help me get my data safe again......

Not really liking the idea that I have no redundancy atm.....

 

Thx in advance

Diags are after rebooting son not much to see, re-sync parity.

Aight, I'll do a new check and report back. 
The check is not called "Parity Check" anymore though. It's just a "Read-Check"

Guess that's because the parity disk is disabled, but does it still do a check towards the parity?
Is this test even doing anything useful if the parity disk is not active?

 

Cancel that and re-enable parity.

I don't know why it got disabled in the first place, but what you told me to do got the parity rebuild and is functional again, so thanks for that 💪👍

I will post here again if the problem returns. But for know, everything is great 👌🍻

Disk looks OK, you can also swap cables with another disk to rule them if it happens again, and if it does don't forget to grab the diags before rebooting.
