Juniper Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I ran into the Seagate Ironwolf problem on my server after upgrading to 6.9.2. To make sure there is really nothing wrong with the hard drive I put it in my Win 10 PC and ran all the tests in Seatools, also the long generic test. All of them passed without problems. I disabled EPC and low spinup, and returned the drive to my server, rebuilt the parity under 6.8.3, and then was able to successfully upgrade to 6.9.2. Server has been running without a hitch for several days now. If I look at the SMART info for my drives, however, I see all of them have non-zero values for "Current Pending Sectors" in the fields "Value" and "Worst". "Threshold" is 0 and "Failed" is Never. My question is: how should I interpret these SMART results? Are all my drives bad and need replacing? I bought the Ironwolf last year as parity drive when I started out with Unraid. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I have looked at threads about "pending sectors", but can still not make sense of it. Thank you much for reading 🙂 Wishing you all Happy Halloween! schiethucken-diagnostics-20211031-1626.zip Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 The only column that matters for Pending Sectors is the Raw Value. You want that to stay at 0. Quote Link to comment
