I'm running unRAID 4.7 on a new system, and I have 5 drives (1 parity, 4 data).

 

Today, I went to bring the array down to do a quick reboot, and one of my data drives was listed as 'disabled', and it couldn't read the temperature on it.  The array still successfully stopped, so I rebooted the system anyway.

 

When it came back up, the drive was not even seen by the system.  I left it the way it was for a few minutes and decided to do another reboot (after the array was safely brought down).

 

Now, when it came back up, it sees the drive again, except this time it sees it as a "Disabled Disk Replaced" and I have the option to: "Start will bring the array on-line, start Data-Rebuild, and then expand the file system (if possible)."

 

Is this what I should do at this point?  I'm worried that the drive may be bad (I just pre-cleared it less than a week ago, 0 problems).

For it to want to re-construct it, you must have started the array when it was not responding.  I'd power down, re-seat the cables to it, then power up and attempt a re-construction.

I believe on the first reboot, the array automatically came up with the drive disabled.

 

OK, I'll do that -- I'm also going to move the server somewhere else, I'm worried that the low temperature might be just a tad too low (drives are between 12 and 18 C when spun down)

 

Thanks!
