tonyuh Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi, I have a parity drive that has very bad smart values but unraid still shows as green. I had a few drives failed before and normally they either go orange (emulated) or red (offline), why is this SDJ still green? Since I have 2 parity drives I'm tempted to just keep it running to see what will trigger the fail state but I have a spare on its way already. Thanks, Tony tony-tower-diagnostics-20220107-0954.zip Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Unraid will report on SMART values, but will only mark a drive as failed if a write to it fails. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 They only change color/status if a write fails, and it didn't yet, it also passed a recent extended SMART test, which also supports that it's OK for now, but the failing now SMART attribute might indicate it will fail sooner or later.

tonyuh Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thank you guys, yup the drive went red after a day or two, I guess I never caught this in action before, only after they went bad. Quote Link to comment
