Agrue Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) hi I had a drive that failed a SMART test with the error "A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options." From looking online I believe that this is due to the disk spinning down while the test was running. I've set the discs to never spin down now, but I can't get the drive working. I tried removing it from the array so it now shows up as "dev1", but when I try to run an extended SMART test the button goes from "start" to "stop" then immediately back to "start". The quick-test button is greyed out, but no test is running. If I stop the array to try and add it back in I can select it from the drop down list, unraid thinks for a second then the drive disappears. It's not listed in the array or in the unassigned items. I have to reboot the server to get it back as "dev1", but still can't do anything. I've tried rebooting several times and did a shut down (didn't unplug, I started it again from WOL as my server is not easily accessible), but this has made no difference. I don't think the drive itself is defective, how can I add it back to the array please?

JorgeB Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Looks like a drive problem, it's producing a corrupt SMART report. Quote Link to comment
