anm8r69 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I received this email 5 days ago and have not rebooted yet and I have attached diagnostics. The drive is a (new) WD Red and only been in use about a year. Event: Unraid Disk 1 error Subject: Alert [NYX] - Disk 1 in error state (disk dsbl) Description: ST6000VN0033-2EE110_ZAD81TBL (sdj) Importance: alert I've read several threads related to disabled disks but some of the links provided to additional documentation have moved. I see the docs are being updated; good to see! I also noticed a bunch of errors in the system log and would like to know what these are... Nov 20 09:50:09 Nyx nginx: 2021/11/20 09:50:09 [error] 6301#6301: *2233713 limiting requests, excess: 20.082 by zone "authlimit", client: 192.168.1.50, server: , request: "PROPFIND /login HTTP/1.1", host: "nyx" Thank you in advance for any help provided! nyx-diagnostics-20211125-0724.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Disk dropped offline so there's no SMART report, check replace cables and post new diags. Quote Link to comment
anm8r69 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Thank you JorgeB, wanted to double check that before shutting down. Will do and will post new diags! Thank you kindly! Quote Link to comment

anm8r69 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Uhm, good to know, thanks! Quote Link to comment
anm8r69 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 So rebooted and ran smart test on the drive and uploading new diags now. Thanks in advance! nyx-diagnostics-20211128-1013.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Disk looks OK, most likely a power/connection problem, replace cables to rule those out and rebuild on top. Quote Link to comment

So after adding the 2nd parity drive and waiting 20+ hrs on the parity check the drive is still showing disabled. Also realized the original spec on the drive was the wrong one. This is a Seagate IronWolf ST6000VN0033 6TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6 NAS drive, not the WD Red originally stated. This drive was purchased 03/19/2019. I thought it was doing a rebuild during the parity check. No? What's next? How do I rebuild the array? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

No, though it could have been done at the same time: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Storage_Management#Rebuilding_a_drive_onto_itself Quote Link to comment

Do you have Notifications setup to alert you immediately by email or other agent as soon as a problem is detected? Quote Link to comment

Do you have Notifications setup to alert you immediately by email or other agent as soon as a problem is detected? I did understand the risk and had contemplated added this for a while. Your comment just gave me the motivation to get it done! I am using Duplicati to backup critical shares to Backblaze but not everything. Just another level of protection with 2 parity drives. I do have daily email notifications setup which is super helpful and alerted me to the problem. Thanks for your time to help! Edited December 5, 2021 by anm8r69 Quote Link to comment

I didn't realize how easy that was. All seems good now! Thanks for all the support. 1 Quote Link to comment
