pabron Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Installed unraid for the first time and as per the manual waited for the array to complete its initial parity check (19hours). After it completed the array reported errors on one of the disks. The SMART however seems to be ok (pic attached). Using the forum search, the advice generally seems to be check the power and sata connections, which I now have. Should I now re-run the parity check before formatting the drives and adding data? Should I be more concerned about these errors? pabraid-diagnostics-20221114-1223.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It's a known issue with v6.11.2, update to v6.11.3 and re-format the disks. Quote Link to comment
pabron Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Thanks Jorge. Updated then rebooted and the error was cleared. 1 Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted November 14, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 14, 2022 I didn't notice the errors on disk2 before, those are unrelated to the format problem, you should run an extended SMART test on that disk. Quote Link to comment
pabron Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 So I ran the Extended SMART test and receieved the below results. The only attribute that updated was Multi zone error rate with a value of 311 but if I'm reading it correctly the test stopped after just 20% completion? The drive is out of warranty. Any advice on whether it's still safe to use in an unraid array or how to test it further? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You should NOT continue to use any drive that is unable to complete the extended SMART test. 1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Like mentioned the disk should be replaced if the SMART test fails. 1 Quote Link to comment
