OK thank you - I've got a new drive on it's way and will swap it out.

Thank you, but as far as I can tell it's not, the diagnostics say that SMART is passing. === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED

Afternoon all, I have had a really good browse around on the forums to come to a conclusion of what to do but wanted to check with you first. Recently I got a warning regarding errors on my parity drive. There are three errors recorded with the "read failure" status, please note that these errors occurred during extended offline self-tests I don't want to replace the drive sooner than is required. It's just below 20k hours and I've read on here that people run drives to 50k so it feels early. SMART is passing but I'm concerned about these errors. Do you have any advice? My conclusion from reading is that its safer to replace the drive and just live with the fact it was half the life I was expecting. If its not required, then I'd rather spend elsewhere. Thanks, Max tower-diagnostics-20230720-1541.zip tower-smart-20230720-1533.zip

It appears to be working again! I stopped docker from the web ui, then deleted the docker vdisk then started it up again. Clearing the vdisk seems to have sorted it out.

Morning all, I tried to update my containers using docker compose (this is how all containers have been created) and the afterwards and I'm getting some weird behaviour. On the docker ui in unraid web ui the unraid logo keeps flashing up and disappearing. The containers themselves are all toggling between autostart on and off. The page is unresponsive. The docker cli is also unresponsive. A restart hasn't helped. I'm not sure what else to try! Any help greatly appreciated. Video and logs attached. 20220719_213947.mp4 tower-diagnostics-20220720-1119.zip

Hi there, Well after trying everything under the sun it turned out to be a faulty UPS. The network cable is routed through it, I'm not sure what went wrong with it but having taken it out of the equation everything is working as expected again. All the best

Hey there, Virgin Media came and replaced their old router with a new one. The server plugs directly into this router. It boots normally and can be accessed remotely but then at some point in time (10 mins to an hour or so later) suddenly becomes unreachable. The problem must be the new router because nothing else has changed but I cannot see any settings that would cause this intermittent access. Interestingly earlier I was pinging the server and had a 25% ish response rate, so some messages are getting through. I wondered if anyone else had experienced this behaviour and might have some advice? Diags attached for reference. Cheers tower-diagnostics-20220618-0943.zip

Ah that makes sense - I forgot I could run with an emulated disk while formatting it. This worked like a charm thank you

Hi there, I'm sure this has been answered before. I apologise if I missed something, the topics I found had just enough nuance to dissuade me from trying just in case it went wrong. I have a drive that is failing and I would like to replace it with a new drive. I want to format the old drive before it goes in the bin. I don't have enough cabling to plug in any additional drives (therefore cannot have the old drive and new drive both connected). I am aware that I can simply unplug it and plug in a new drive to rebuild it (from parity). Question is, can I format the old drive before taking it out without losing the data on the parity disks or effecting the rebuild process for the new drive in anyway? What do you recommend? Thanks, Max

Thank you! Had a good read through this, all seems fairly straightforward. New disk arriving on Saturday so will swap them out then. All the best,

Thank you both very much for the advice. I've ordered a new drive and will turn on notifications. Next to try and work out how to switch a drive out! All the best,

Thank you @itimpi, I realise that I misread the original message. Attributes updated.

Hi @trurl, Thank you for taking the time to read the reports. I have updates the 'SMART attribute notifications' field to 1200. RE disk 2 - There is no way to repair the disk? I need to bin it and order a new one? Is 3.7 years a good lifetime for a disk? Thanks for your help

Evening @JorgeB, I have completed both extended smart reports, please see these attached. To assist with my learning, what are we looking for here? I note that disk 2 shows errors but I'm not sure I understand how to solve. Interestingly disk 1 says it completed the report without errors but still has 168 errors logged against it in the main array. Any help appreciated. All the best disk2-tower-smart-20220414-1123.zip disk1-tower-smart-20220414-1123.zip

Thanks for coming back to me - I'll post the extended SMART results once finished.
