Drive Disabled - I/O Error

Featured Replies

I´m in need of a little assistance I´m afraid.
I today had one of my drives going in disabled state with the following erros in the Disk log.

The disk was running fine until today and i haven´t touched or moved the unraid machine in months. Last time i did some upgrades and recabling is also 2 years back.
I was about to try to just re-enable it and do a rebuild (which i think i need to do, right?) but couldn´t find the information on how to do it.
The respective page about re-enabling in the docs seems to be empty.

 

I suppose the drive is fine and it can still be used. if not, that´wouldn´t be the end of the world as i was about to swap in 2 14TB drives to replace the parity and one of the 3TB ones. At least that was the plan.
I got one 14TB already here, the other on is on order and should arrive mid next week.

 

How to move forward here? Any advice is appreciated :)

Attached my diagnostics for good measure.

What page is this?    Is it part of the documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or one you found via another route?

This article has a link to Re-enable a drive.
this is then empty though
 

https://wiki.unraid.net/Replacing_a_Data_Drive

That is an old page - not part of the official documentation accessible via the GUI link.  The procedure is in the Storage Management section of the official documentation.    Having said that for me the link you give shows content.

The link itself does, right. But the next "hop" via "Re-enable the drive" does not. it just goes back to the Troubleshooting category. Thus i couldn´t link it directly.
FWIW i found it by just putting "re-enable" in the search box.

 

So i should just go ahead with "Rebuilding a drive onto itself" described in the documentation i guess as. at least to me, the drive itself looks fine.

You might run an extended SMART test on the disk. You may have to disable spindown on the disk to get the extended test to complete.
