Hi
So the story begins, my system has been running well for the last couple of years, then about a week ago i was getting continuous reboots after about 2 minutes, Unfortunately I've made one disastrous mistake in my system and I didn't back up my configuration, I'm a newbie I know and no excuses, probably distracted as it was working so well, Originally it was running on a SSD drive Freenas 11.3 but I then decided to run the boot drive on a SuperMicro sataDom 16GB after looking at recommendations, which worked perfect in my Supermicro X10SLL-F motherboard. I open up my Fractal Node 804 to start pulling components out and i notice the sata dom is loose and then finally the solder joint came apart so consequently the sata connection separated from the circuit board. So I assumed this was the fault and replaced the satadom with a WD Green SSD 120GB. I then reinstalled Trunas 12.0-U6 and have server up and running on basic settings "no configuration yet", unfortunately it is still rebooting, having removed ram and unplugging components, I believe it is something to do with my raidZ2 6 WDREDS 6TB pool, If I disconnect them, the server is stable and no rebooting, my original hardware though was connecting the drives via LSI SAS 9207-8i kit and 2 mini sas SFF-8087 forward breakout cables, again I thought i had narrowed down problem to sas card or sas cables, I temporarily changed card to older raid card and standard sata cables but problem still existed and rebooting continues after about 2 minutes. I suppose my questions are do you think I am right and it is the raidz2 pool, when the system is all plugged in, it shows no faults on the dashboard of Trunas and my raidz2 pool is fine no errors but reboots, if I disconnect pool it runs fine, so 2nd question is do I now detach a disk to see if one of the 6 disks is actually the problem, can I actually do this because it reboots after 2-3 minutes, so I'm assuming to reattach drive resilver will take a few hours to get back to normal and 2-3 minute reboots are not healthy. Another new lesson I had learnt was about WD Red drives, again I assumed they were all the same, but since my problem I have 3 WDRED 6TB EFRX Drives and 3 WDRED 6TB EFAX Drives, I don't think that's the problem as its been running fine for 7 months since I changed a drive, I have now bought 2 new WDRED Plus drives to put into pool so I can remove the EFAX Drives once its all up and running. Server is used for Emby and Nextcloud, so not overloaded but all my dvd,'s and cd's are stored on it
