Hello, I have installed the 500GB NVMe but the issue with the x On the disk 7 its still there/here. 
 

Any suggestions on how to fix it are welcome always. 
I have changed my cables and remove most of the splitters and now i mainly using the psu cables. 
i have checked and I can see the disk in BIOS. so i am a bit stuck there! Thanks in advance!

  • 6.9.2?   Your screenshot shows the array started with no disks missing. I think you must mean that disk8 is not assigned. A missing disk would be indicated by a red X and its contents would

  • What do you mean "fix Disk 8"? Since it isn't missing, do you just mean that you want some disk assigned as disk8 so there isn't a gap?

Of course the only way to get rid of that is to rebuild the disk.

 

It's been a while.

By disconnected, I mean Unraid lost its connection to the disk for some reason. Could be some connector, SATA or power, either end, including splitters, could be cable, could be power. You have to fix whatever caused that and rebuild the disk.

Thank you for your instant answer. Can I do that when the array has started or anything?

There is no way to rebuild a disk without the array started. Sounds like you don't know how to rebuild a disk.

You only have single parity so you have been running unprotected all that time.

 

Those diagnostics were taken with the array stopped, so can't see if anything mounted. In particular, we need to know if the emulated disk mounts.

 

Start the array and attach NEW diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

OK, that looks good. Some things about your docker setup still needs work but we can deal with that later.

 

I took the time to reread all of this thread. Since this was a connection problem, and the SMART attributes for the disk look OK (though there hasn't been an extended test run in a long time), it should be OK to rebuild to the same disk.


But, it is always safer to rebuild to a spare if you have one and so keep the original disk as is in case there is any problem with rebuilding.

 

Do you have a spare?

  • Author

Ι have some 4TB spares yes. I need to move some files from one of those but it's not big deal. 

Let me know what you want me to do. Also I have the 500GB new NVMe on, I've tried to add it to Sys pool but something doesnt go well on this.

Do you know if any are good enough to trust in your server?

  • Author

Was on unraid before, I've replaced those with the new 8tb ones. :/

Are any empty or have files you don't need?

  • Community Expert

Just trying to help decide which to plug in so we can get a SMART report.

  • Author

No worries and thank you for all your help. I am moving some files from an old 4tb wd red now!

  • Author

I am removing from that 4tb a photo library archive. Please let me know what I do next :)

Replace the one I have on unraid with this one and rebuild parity or disk somehow?

  • Community Expert

plug in the spare disk you want to use and post new diagnostics or at least a SMART report for that disk

  • Community Expert

make sure you have good connections and don't disturb other connections

Adding the disk now!

  • Community Expert

That disk might be OK, but it is a WD RED with nonzero for SMART attribute 1. You should add attributes 1 and 200 to be monitored on WD disks.

 

And it hasn't had an extended test run on it recently.

 

Run an extended SMART test on the disk.

  • Community Expert

Or we can take a look at another disk since you seemed to imply you had more than one spare.

  • Author

I am running an extended SMART test on that disk. Almost all my disks was WD RED in the unraid. 
its just the one on external enclosures I am buying lately are white labeled anyway. 
and from what I read all those disks are same with the red ones and the only thing is missing is the red label. 
Should I changed the attribute like you said to all those?

  • Author

I am at Tools > Preclear Disk and this is all I get.. it's like the test isnt running?1706758401_ScreenShot2021-12-10at7_45_36AM.thumb.png.b6da03ee934e26ca36f55ab7bc397059.png
