jang430 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) I bought some old drives to use. While rebuilding parity (Due to more than 1 old drive broke down), I decided to rebuild parity. While doing this, I encountered errors. Can I still use the drive that have errors came out? tower-diagnostics-20210303-1357.zip Edited March 3, 2021 by jang430 added info Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Parity isn't 100% valid because of the errors, you should remove those disks and re-sync parity. Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Disk5 basically has nothing on it yet. If I remove Disk9 (full), will the parity be able to rebuild to the replaced disk? Which do you suggest I do first? I assume 1 after the other. How should I go about it? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Parity can't reliably rebuild any disk since there were errors during the sync, disk5 appears to be failing, there's no SMART report for disk9 in the disgs posted, please post one. Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Thank you JorgeB. I pulled out Disk9 first, and replaced with another one. Will see. Luckily, the data there isn't so important. Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Is there any way to test integrity of drives in the array? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Run an extended SMART test on all, parity check is also a good test once parity is valid. 1 Quote Link to comment
