jowy_ham Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi All, 1 of the disk in my UnRAID server of 8+2 disks encountered read errors while doing a parity check (parity check still in progress at the moment. Any cause for concern ? Need HDD replacement ? Â Attached is the Diagnostics ZIP for your reference.

JorgeB Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 It's logged as a disk problem, run an extended SMART test on that disk. Quote Link to comment

I'm running a SMART extended self-test now, but as Parity checking is in progress, it is really slow. 5 mins still 10% complete. <- is this progress speed normal ? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 SMART extended test takes several hours, and it can't make much progress while the disk is being used. Quote Link to comment

Noted (1st time running SMART extended test)  Will just have to wait it out. Thanks  Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Be aware that once your parity check is complete a bug in Unraid 6.9.1 will allow the disks to spin down even if a SMART self-test is in progress. You ought to set the spin-down delay to "Never" until the check is over. Â Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 SMART test passed so disk is OK for now, recommend replacing/swapping cables just to rule them out and keep monitoring. Quote Link to comment

Noted. But how do I clear away the "ERRORS" ? No way except to reboot the server ? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I believe the clear stats button is not working with v6.9, so you'd need to reboot, or possibly stop/star the array. Quote Link to comment
jowy_ham Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Stop & Restart ARRAY does not "remove/clear" the disk errors. Have to reboot the whole machine. Â Reason for wanting to remove/clear disk errors is daily health check of array (email notification) will report as FAIL cos disk have errors. Quote Link to comment
