Thanks for the help everyone. I knew I could rely on this community.

I just had a recent disk dual disk failure and I would like some help troubleshooting it. This happened to the same two disks sometime last year, I don't remember my exact reasoning for doing so, might have thought it was a loose cable since I had just moved. So I removed the disks from the system and then rebuilt with the same disks. They have been running fine for about a year now. The only thing I have noticed since then is this apartment doesn't have good power. My server is hooked up to a large UPS, but the UPS has been showing brownouts a couple times a day. Its not a big deal if its the disks, I already have the replacements sitting on my desk but I want it fixed for real this time. Thanks for any help. unraid-syslog-20230723-1556.zip

Thank you, I have had this Unraid server since 2011 and never knew there was a repair tool. Where is it located in the webgui? Also is this not in the Unraid manual? I have read the manual several times and haven't seen this info in there? If its not maybe we could get it added? I feel like this could help other people with the same issue. I am not blaming Unraid, its a great OS that I have used for some time now. I am not that upset about the data loss either. I have everything I really care about backed up in two other places. Its mostly just annoying. On the hardware issue, yes I actually do weekly parity checks and there are never sync errors. I don't think its a RAM issue, I mean I guess its possible but it seems like a small possibility. I will do a memtest just to be sure. What I am leaning towards is just old drives. I know it seems silly, but they were all 4+ year old Seagate 2TB drives probably from the same batch. I still have one left so I guess I will see...

I have posted here before about this problem. It happened again. I have Unraid 6.1+ with 7 drives connected to an SAS expander. The server is connected to a rackmount APC UPS. The issue Ive had three times now is the server will become unresponsive. No webgui and SSH is unresponsive also. I can login via SSH but as soon as I run a command it locks up. Powerdown, shutdown, and reboot commands do not work when its like this. The only way to shut it down is by holding the power button. When it comes back up one of the drives will show "unmountable". The last two times I replaced the drive but the procedure didn't work. It starts to do a data rebuild and finishes, but will still say "unmountable". The only way I can get it to use the drive is to format it first then do a data rebuild. This results in losing the data that was on that disk. I'm hoping I'm just doing something wrong. This last time I followed the drive replacement procedure to a T. I'm not really worried about a hardware issue if there is one, I will figure it out eventually, what I'm worried about is I keep losing data. Shouldn't Unraid protect against this kind of stuff? I've had drives fail in the past and the data rebuild worked like a charm. Anyone have any ideas for me? p.s This last time I loaded the failed drive into my Linux desktop and tried to recover data off it but the drives partition was corrupted : (

Thanks, I will try that tonight.

I'm pretty sure this was caused by loose connectors from my sas expander. I moved recently and I think the cables got knocked loose. The issue is one disk was rebuilding and another failed during rebuild. I assume I am going to lose some data, and that's fine. The problem is I can't get it to format the disks or rebuild with both disks failed. I haven't had time to look into it any further than following the normal disk replacement procedures. Both disks say they are being emulated with orange triangles next to them. If you hit rebuild nothing happens. If you hit format disks nothing happens. I don't know what to do next. Help?

Sorry will do : )

I am looking for some help with this problem. I recently logged on to my Unraid server to add a new share and noticed that I couldn't access the Web Gui. After some troubleshooting I noticed that if I add the Couchpotato or Sickbeard plugin they cause the Gui to be inaccessible. I am running version 5.0.5. Any ideas?
