I replaced the CPU in my gaming rig using the boot drive, and it performed perfectly as expected. It seems the memory failed after just one year past the warranty period. I’ll have to replace the RAM soon—I’ve had positive experiences with MSI, but this is my first time experiencing an MB failure. I need a card with plenty of PCI lanes, so I’m searching for a suitable option. The SAS card with PCI x8, 10GB NIC, PCI x8 1060, and 6GB PCI x16 would work, though I might be able to manage with a riser card in any of those configurations.
I connected my SAS/SATA cables one by one into both ports, repeating each setup four times until everything worked properly. I’m pretty confident the SAS-to-SATA HBA card has caused significant issues lately, and since I don’t have a backup, I’ll need to purchase a new one—it’s the only viable option at the moment.
It seems unusual because it detects 10 disks and synchronizes during startup before any issues arise. Are you noticing this in the BIOS settings?
I managed to get a new HBA card installed, but it hasn’t changed anything. Still, it won’t boot when all drives are connected. I can connect up to five drives using two 4-to-1 cables, regardless of which drives or cables I use. Whenever I try to add a sixth, seventh, or eighth drive, the system won’t boot. I’ve attached photos showing it attempting to start and then rebooting after the last drive I connected. I’ve also tried changing the motherboard, CPU, power supply, SAS HBA card, cables, and even swapping the HBA card into a different PCI slot—nothing helped. I’m really puzzled about what’s going wrong.
Try booting with all five drives connected, then connect the remaining three. Access the shell via the Truenas page and run zpool import -o read-only=on tank. The interface displays your pool as online, but you can't reach it from the network drive on Windows to view files.
I successfully transferred files using resync on Ubuntu, retaining most of them. There were around 180,000 files, with only 28 missing—given the size, that’s quite fine. I’ve compiled a detailed list of the files that weren’t copied so you can locate them easily. Right now, I’m running dd across all eight drives; it’s moving roughly 500GB every half hour, which should take about ten hours. Once complete, the drives will be restored to their original condition, and I’ll rebuild a clean pool before transferring everything back to the server. Everything should function properly afterward.
