Nashlake Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Hi, I did an upgrade to my server adding another 4 Tb drive and an SSD cache and in the process had to unplug all SATA cables and they didn't go to the same ports or drives. The server boots but there is a drive that has been giving me errors first showed as unmountable: not mounted. I then tried to repair the file system following the XFS repair guide. I didn't mind losing the data because it wasn't my parity drive. After attempting repair the drive now shows up in Unassigned Devices. The drive in question is Dev 3 (ST4000VN008_ZDHA5SV9. I've attached a screenshot of what it shows now and my diagnostics log. Do I run preclear to empty it than reformat it or am I screwed? Thanks, and let me know if you need any more info! olympus-diagnostics-20220304-2001.zip Edited March 5, 2022 by Nashlake add drive clarification Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Disk appears top be failing, don't format anything, replace/swaps cables and post new diags after array start. Quote Link to comment
Nashlake Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 I did a couple of cable swaps and this is my current diagnostics. olympus-diagnostics-20220305-0540.zip Quote Link to comment
Nashlake Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 I can now add it back to the array but there is a little blue square next to the Device Name that says when hovered over "New Device." Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted March 5, 2022 Solution Share Posted March 5, 2022 Disk still appears to be failing, it's not even giving a valid SMART report, good news is that the emulated disk1 is mounting so you just need to replace that disk then assign it to the disk1 slot to rebuild.

Nashlake Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Thanks, I have a drive ready to go in the array, but I did an extended Smart test last week and it came back as healthy. I'll try to post that after work but if it is dying I guess I will try to rma it. Quote Link to comment
Nashlake Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 I removed that problem disk and added the new drive to the array. When it started the rebuild it was moving extremely slow and sounded like something was grinding in a pulse pattern. None of my data is critical, would it be better to wipe and start new. I have attached a new diagnostic file. olympus-diagnostics-20220305-1630.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Check/replace cables on parity and try again. Quote Link to comment
