Replacing a dying drive

Featured Replies

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?

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.

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.

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?)

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?

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!
