agreed, do you really want to take the chance.... if another drive fails now you will occur data loss!!!!!

i am trying to understand what you did, you say you copied off all the data on the bad disk to other disks? what is the steps you took after that because if i am understanding you correctly you have not told unRAID yet that the disk is gone and one of the BRILLIANT features of unRAID is to act as if the missing disk is still there via the parity information.

is there any way to avoid this as i have it quite regularly. Delete your duplicates let me REPHRASE the question is there anyway to stop it from happening in the future or is it a type of bug with unRAID.. ? I believe it a part of unRaids error handling feature. It makes a note of the incident but its not going to crash your server. It will/can fill your syslog but it isn't really harmful. I use a mapping program for Minecraft that saves thousands of tiny .png files to my server in folders labeled "A,B,C,D ect". Then the files are labeled "1,2,3,4,5 ect". If any of the folders are split across drives I get tons of these errors. Thats why the minor error filter in unmenu is so nice. Just filter it out. Not a bug but a deliberate, albeit irritating valid error handler. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk i read your explanation but i also have the problem that it takes up space i deleted 9 videos @350MB and a single 2GB so it could really become a waste of space if i don't follow the syslog.

like the new avatar weebo please explain your post here how would one accomplish these 2 things with badblocks.. thanks

i had the same problem, what i did was used midnight commander in a telnet session to move the data from failing drive to other drives and then i used the following post http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#On_version_4.5.4_of_unRAID_onward (assuming your version of unRAID is higher than 4.5.4 AND you TRUST your data is okay as it kills the parity READ CAREFULLY) and then added another drive.

don't see how as there a quite a few posts about this here is one http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7208.msg71372#msg71372

how can i help ?

two very valid points so how can i help ?

PLEASE do not flame me i am just asking about this which i saw somewhere else i am not doing a comparison. would this ever be possible or at least something like it? http://www.openegg.org/2011/12/20/flexraid-gets-s-m-a-r-t-very-smart-indeed/

Raj i use total commander in my win7 session and also i delete files and directories through GBPVR, i would rather not post my syslog. So thanks for any help then.

Hey all i have a couple of messages that come up in my log and would like help understanding them.. this on comes up a few times but the directory has been deleted Dec 10 09:32:14 Terok-Nor shfs: shfs_rmdir: rmdir: /mnt/disk1/Videos/etc.. (39) Directory not empty this one comes up alot Dec 8 19:19:27 Terok-Nor shfs: shfs_setxattr: setxattr: /mnt/disk1/Personal Folders/Excel/D1E39B03.tmp (95) Operation not supported this one seems to also come a more than a few times and i looked on the separate disk and the files exist on two different disk exactly the same files!!! Nov 6 13:29:04 Terok-Nor shfs: duplicate object: /mnt/disk3/Videos/etc.avi (Minor Issues) i did search for this and came to this thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7208.msg71372#msg71372 but does no tell me how to avoid it happening .. any thoughts would be appreciated and maybe a wiki entry can be started on this for the different messages in the log thanks all

thanks ant looking forward to it..

i do understand that it's an x11 app but i was hoping maybe the plugin guru's might be able to write in the attribute table with the colour coding and explanations of the various values.. as in the screen shots .. any takers i am very willing to help in any way except coding as i CANNOT code but any other leg work i can do... anybody??....

is this possible to be integrated into the web access of unraid ? http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/Screenshots

i think this might help... http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Console#smartctl

is this the same as this ? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10483.msg154514#msg154514 i think this feature might be necessary and maybe if the scripting guru's can do it then can we have the choice to use it or not if it is too intensive for the unraid build of some people ...?

sooo... Weebo are you and Joe gonna do some sort of best practice for new hdd's on the wiki up to now i just run the preclear script x3 and then put the drive into my array.

sorry to butt in.. just an info question ... in step b. you say it forces unraid to believe slot99 is invalid and not slot0 first why slot99 ? and what tells unraid that slot99 is the "empty" disk ? thanks

found this.... :o :o http://www.neowin.net/news/first-4-tb-hard-drive-on-sale-in-japan?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+neowin-main+%28Neowin+Main+News%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

I would never use this procedure. Too easy to make a critical mistake. It seems people are paranoid of a drive failure while recreating parity. But this is also why to evaluate all smart logs and do a parity check before any other destructive procedure. I am planning to also do a monthly badblock read test on every drive since my latest failure. Weebo i see you have your own safe type of disk physical checking routine besides the parity check of the unRAID itself... can you please post your steps and command for the various programs you are now using in your setup or maybe even get it added to the wiki under best practices ? thanks I'm still working it out, but there will definitely be something to come in the the next couple of weeks. I really got caught with my pants down in this situation and it could have been catastrophic for me. looking forward to it thanks....
