Yes, so on scenario 1 when you plug it and it mounts you don't get an apply option
Correct. In option 1, it automatically mounts, I dont get an apply option.

'Fraid so that usb to sata bridge chip has caused a few problems.
Sorry I'm confused by the above, if you plug the drive in, it mounts, Shared Folders -> Add does Elements show in the list to select a device?
Scenario 1:
I plug in the HDD.
It mounts automatically, no error
Elements doesnt show up in Shared Folders -> Add list
Scenario 2:
Following on from above, I unmount in Gui.
I remount.
I get the error message.
Elements does show up in Shared Folders -> Add list
Because of the error, I cant apply the changes and fully create the share, so cant run rsysc.
Does that make any more sense?
OK, but two things:
1. Before I reinstalled my OS it mounted fine
2. If I unmount and remount the drive, I get that error message, but the drives shows up as an option for adding a shared folder.
Are those two things typical of the issue with Jmicron you mentioned?
No, it just has the word Elements
No spaces, quotation marks, etc.

I've seen the thread, it's an NTFS drive, does have spaces in the Label, i.e. usb backup
No, the label is just "Elements". Before I did the new install of OMV, this mounted without any issues.
When its mounted on OMV (but I cant see it as an option in Shared folders), I can access the mount through Cloud Commander and move/copy files.
Thanks again for the help.
I have the mergerfs set up as well as the Snapraid. Just need to do the scheduled jobs you mentioned.
Restoring my backup now, but issues mounting my usb backup (Issue Mounting USB HDD)
Will let ye know when I get everything sorted.
Hi.
I have a new install of OMV that I am setting up. I have my storage drive set up, and have a USB HDD that I want to copy information from. When I connect it, it mounts automatically, but it doesn't show up as an option for me to set it up as a shared folder so I can do an rsync.
If I unmount and remount, I get the error below, but it does show up as an option for setting up a shared folder (but I can't approve the setup because of the mounting error).
Any suggestions how I can fix this mounting issue?
Difficult getting time to do things here, but I have the fresh install now.
When I did the fresh install the degraded RAID was still showing up, and no option to remove. I used the mdadm command you previously suggested, and that stopped the RAID. Today, Im going to try and set up snapraid and mergerfs.
I haven't had the need to do this before, but something like diff might help in comparing the source to the backup. -> Compare
When it comes to file corruption or bit-rot, it's likely the source is the same as the backup. The only way to be sure is to open data files in their app's.
Ok, thanks for all your help. Like geaves, you are a true credit to the OMV community the way you provide such great support.
I'm planning to do a fresh install of OMV. Can I just remove the current RAID, then do the fresh install, setting up MergerFS and Snapraid as part of the new setup?
If you have all 10TB backed up, proceeding will be relatively easy but I would CHECK THE BACKUP (really check it) to be sure it's good.
Note that SNAPRAID does not aggregate (or pool) drives like mdadm RAID does. You can use them individually, setting shares on each drive, or pool them together using Mergerfs. So, do you plan to use MergerFS to pool drives?
Yes, I was planning to use MergerFS.
I can visibly spot check files in the backup, but it's there any way to automatically check the backup to be sure it's good?
The questions that need answers are:
Do you have back up?(AND)
How much actual data is on your array? (Is it 6TB or less?)
Yes, I have a backup.
The array has 10TB of data.
Display MoreThat might be the prudent action. You could use the array but if there's a second drive issue, it's all over. Your call.
Note that resilvering a 6TB drive is going to take a lot of time. During that time, the two remaining drives in the array are going to go through a torture test. This is what you should be worried about. (Remember, they may have more age on them than you know.) All you can do is hope a second drive doesn't fail, but I believe you'll have a decent chance of success.

In the short term, you really need to set up notifications on your server. Check out this Guide, on page 35 and 36. The sooner you're aware of a drive issue, the better.
I know it's expensive when talking about a 12TB array but, if you want to keep your data, you need to think about backup. Further, you might want to look into ZFS or, maybe, SNAPRAID for protection against silent corruption and bit-rot. In this regard mdadm RAID is doing nothing for you.
Happy Christmas. Sorry about the long delay in responding... difficult Christmas with illness in the house. Not the virus though thankfully!
My new 6TB drive arrived, and I want to fit it and use Snapraid. Reading the Snapraid documentation, it looks impressive, but starting with an existing RAID, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to start from my current situation. Do I repair the current RAID with the new disk first? Do I then just install Snapraid along with the current RAID?
Sorry for what are probably stupid questions!
Display MoreIt wouldn't hurt anything to run extended tests, but those 2 drives appear to be OK.
There are CRC's on one of them but that, in itself, is not a big deal. It could be a SATA cable. Try reseating the cable. (I would keep an eye on it. It might be an early symptom of a drive interface board failure.)
BTW: mdadm RAID is smart enough to deal with mixed drives as in 2 drives at 7200rpm with 1 drive at 5400rpm. But the replacement will have to be as large or larger than the other 2.
Scheduling SMART tests as geaves mentioned is a good idea. With automated SMART testing and server "Notifications" set up, the server will e-mail you when SMART errors increment.
If you don't currently have it, you might want to give serious thought to backup. As you've found RAID is NOT backup.
Thanks again for your help. I assume its prudent not to use the server until I get my replacement HDD, and get the RAID set up with 3 drives again?
Display MoreFollowing are the SMART Counts that should cause real concern
SMART 5 – Reallocated_Sector_Count.
SMART 187 – Reported_Uncorrectable_Errors.
SMART 188 – Command_Timeout.
SMART 197 – Current_Pending_Sector_Count.
SMART 198 – Offline_Uncorrectable.
SMART 199 - UltraDMA CRC errors
(Usually hardware or cable related)
_____________________________________________________________________
Setting 199 aside, when any of the above begin to increment upward, around 5 to 10 or maybe a bit more, I'd be ordering another drive. The stat's for the drive you posted are not good. I wouldn't be surprised if you have a bit of data corruption already.
If "ALL" of your drives are failing at once, in the same way, that's a statistical outlier. (I'd like to the stat's for all drives posted.) The odds of 3 drives failing in the same manner, at the same time, are pretty long (but not impossible). The CRC errors (SMART 199), especially if they're present on all 3 drives, has me wondering if these errors started after a power outage.
Do you have your device on surge protection?
_____________________________________________________________________
geaves mentioned that these are enterprise class drives, but you said you didn't pay enterprise money for them. Refurb's or "white label" drives are not a bargain. Utilities exist to rewrite SMART stat's so it's impossible to know what you're getting. It's a "buyer beware" proposition.
Users are better off with new, but slower, desktop drives or, as I like to put, "whatever is on sale".
Thanks for taking the time to respond crash test.
Yes, I went with refurbed enterprise drives, which in retrospect was a false economy. I have a WD RED now ordered to replace this one...will be here the start of January.
I assume its safest to now power off the server and leave it off until I get the new HDD?
Yes, we are prone to electricity failures here, and I think this is when my issues started. I have surge protection, but no UPS. Maybe that should be on my list on buys for the new year?
Would you like me to run extended tests on the other two drives? Below is the basic info.
SDE Drive: https://pastebin.com/uANmHhQm
SDB Drive: https://pastebin.com/NArrGUwX
most home users, me included wouldn't spend that sort of money, for the cost of that drive I could build a new system
and still have some money left over for a few beers. But to confirm I'll tag crashtest to check the pastebin output, but IMHO that drive should be replaced.
Not necessarily but you do need to keep a check on the SMART output and run SMART short tests once a month
Well I didn't pay enterprise money for them 🙈. Same as you, I couldn't afford that. I got them for less than NAS HDD costs.
I'll set up SMART monitoring on all drives now.
Replace the drive!! According to a search that's an Enterprise Class drive
are they all the same? I use WD Red's NAS or Seagate Ironwolf NAS drives, in fact I'm about to replace two of mine as they are over six years old. Whilst they are reporting no errors (unlike yours) I would rather replace now and repurpose the old ones.
Yes, all three are the same. So you think overtime I should replace all three? Ill replace the first one now for sure.
Have a look at SMART and run an extended test on the drive.
I havent done one of these before, so hopefully this is right. It ran over night, and this is the information from the Extended Information tab
Display MoreI said it might, #49 and if the third command fails then as far as mdadm is concerned sdc does not belong in the array, which should mean you can wipe that drive and when complete use recover in raid management to add sdc back.
EDIT: However, I have reservations, from #46 mdadm --detail /dev/md127 that shows the following at the end;
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
it sees sdc as faulty
OK. Is there a way to confirm that sdc is faulty? Of do I just need to buy a new drive?
