First disk failure - advice on next steps

Featured Replies

This is the first time I've experienced a drive failure in Unraid. I have a red notification saying Disk in Error State (disk dsbl). There is also a red X next to the drive in Main/Array Devices.

 

I seem to be able to navigate the drive and access files.

 

Should I move the files to another disk, delete the disk from the array, and restart the array down one drive? Or something else. I do not have a replacement drive handy, but there's plenty of space in the rest of the array.

 

Thanks all in advance.

Disk does appear to be failing, you can run an extended SMART test to confirm.

The extended SMART test appears to have failed so the disk definitely needs replacing.

OK thanks. Do I just pull the drive and replace?

The procedure is covered here in the online documentations accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI.

Thanks for that. On it.

Shut down the array and swapped the drive as per documentation (WD Gold 8TB). Rebuild completed without issue. All is good.

 

After 1.5 years on Unraid it was great to see how easy that was when a disk finally failed. Reminds me why I came to Unraid in the first place when I lost a disk in my old JBOD setup. Thanks all for the help.
