Hi,

Sorta newbie here and hoping one of you guys can advise me. Recently I swapped out the mother board and all was fine then I added a new controller and added some drives, a 2nd parity and a 8TB and a couple of small disks i had knocking around and all was fine but I think i had a power outage and now 2 of the original disks have stopped working. I've tried re-seating power and sata cables but no luck.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you referring to the fact that parity and disk1 are disabled? They are being emulated until rebuilt. Looks like emulated disk1 is mounted so that's good, and since you have dual parity you can rebuild both.

 

Since you rebooted nothing in syslog from when the problem occurred.

 

No amount of messing with the hardware will re-enable a disk.

 

 

I have started rebuilding disk 1, i guess I should have rebuilt the parity drive first but hey ho. thanks for your reply it put me on track as to what to do next.

With dual parity you could rebuild both at the same time.

Also both disabled disks are on the same Marvell controller, those are not recommended and possibly the reason the disks got disabled, but grab diags before rebooting if it happens again so we can confirm.

I didnt think they were on that controller card but will check and gather diagnostics before I reboot. if the problem persists what 8 port card would you recommend? Are my Motherboard SATA controllers ok?

 

"The ASRock P67 Extreme6 is a high-end ATX P67-based motherboard similar to the ASRock P67 Extreme4. The main differences between the Extreme6 and Extreme4 are USB 3.0 and SATA3 ports/connectors--the Extreme6 boasts four rear USB 3.0 ports while the Extreme4 sports two and offers six total SATA3 connectors versus the Extreme4's four."

Seems there is a Marvell controller on the board itself. Might be what JorgeB is referring to.

Correct, that's the one in use.
