01cooperl Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hi, I have one of my disks disabled with a red 'x' and not exactly sure of the root cause. I can only see from the syslog that there is some write issue with also lots of lines saying "share cache full". Any help with this would be appreciated.

trurl Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Disk3 not responding. Shutdown. Check all connections, power and SATA, both ends, including splitters. Reboot and post new diagnostics. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Do you have backups of everything important and irreplaceable? Quote Link to comment
01cooperl Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Yes I've got off-site backups via USB. However with one drive down these should be data loss on the array as there is a parity drive, correct? Do you know what is wrong here? I think it is just one of my drives has bit the dust...

trurl Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I asked in case you wanted to try rebuilding to the same disk. Safest to use another and keep the original in case of problems, but often people don't want to buy another. Run an extended SMART test on the disk. Quote Link to comment
01cooperl Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Ok I'm doing that but it has been running for nearly 24 hrs. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment

01cooperl Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 ok, here is the diagnostics now. Still at 90% on the self-test... diagnostics-20210116-1025.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Test should take around 2 hours on that drive, try aborting with: smartctl -X /dev/sdf Then start another smartctl -t long /dev/sdf Quote Link to comment
01cooperl Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 ok sure. Based on the diagnostics now, it is likely the drive is on the way out? Is it worth ordering a replacement drive? Quote Link to comment
01cooperl Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 ok so I stopped and restarted an extended smart test however it failed in the terminal, see below: root@LiamDesktop:~# smartctl -t long /dev/sdf smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-4.19.107-Unraid] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org Short INQUIRY response, skip product id A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. Quote Link to comment
