I just changed the extension on the htm files since I could not upload .htm to the forum. I will reupload the logs in zip files since that seems to be allowed.

Updated info: I ran spinrite on all 4 drives and it showed no "problems" with any when completed. so I put the drives back in the same order and now when I plug in the server with all drives attached it cycles the fans momentarily and goes off like normal, but then does it again and again until I unplug it. I disconnected each drive one at a time and when I disconnect drive 3 it will allow me to power on like normal. Does this mean that drive 3 is hosed? or is there something wrong with the power supply? motherboard? something else?

without drive 3 I realize my stripe is hosed. I have a backup from last weekend so we only lose 1 week of data... now individual disk 4 still showed up as offline so I ran "Repair all errors" and it seems to have become available again with only 6 files missing. They are all mac .rf files so it should not be an issue. Should I assume that disk 4 is perfectly fine for use? is this something you can tell from the log? is there a different tool I should run besides SpinRite?

Thanks again for all your assistance.
