DCWerick Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 i'm a noob so i hope you have a long patience answering my queries. Is the Disk3 (dying drive) being rebuild? when i try to put the new drive (unassigned disk) It wont turn the array due to to many error. Should I just continue this and when its done, change disk3 to the new drive? darwin-diagnostics-20221123-1430.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Disk3 appears to be failing but since there's a single error let the rebuild continue for now, note that we don't recommend USB disks in the array/pools. Quote Link to comment
DCWerick Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Thanks jorgeB for the reply, Is the rebuild working to get Disk5 back on from being emulated? I'm just waiting for my Define 7 xl to arrive (i should have not put the drive in the enclosure and not added to the array) there is nothing in that drive. I only pre-cleared it and added to the array) then a day after disk3 went fubar. should i pre-clear this new drive or just just replace disk3 when it's done rebuilding?

Then why is it being rebuilt? Was it added as a new disk or used to upgrade a smaller disk? Also note that when you remove it from the enclosure the name is going to change so Unraid will report it missing. Quote Link to comment
DCWerick Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Disk 5 (new) added to the array (so there should be nothing on it). Disk 3 failed 2 days ago and I shut it down until i just got the 12tb replacement today and when i boot the system up, tried to replace disk 3 but wont let me (due to many changes) that's why i posted here coz, i don't know what to do. So when the rebuild is done. Disk 5 (should show as "green")? then i can replace disk3 with the WD 12tb? then after that, remove the disk from the enclosure then rebuild disk 5 (again?)

DCWerick Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 I'm not sure. this is the 1st time (it happened) just fairly new on unraid, about a little over a month. should i just wait until it finish rebuild? and then replace faulty disk3? Quote Link to comment
DCWerick Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 its rebuilding now on disk 3. Not sure why disk5 was emulated. But when this disk3 is done. Still waiting for my new Case then i can remove it from the hdd enclosure. I think i can breath now lolz! will just keep this open until 100% rebuild is done. Thank you so much JorgeB! 1 Quote Link to comment
