January 25, 20233 yr Been running unraid for 1 year without any problems but this morning i woke up to error notification from the server. 20 read errors on disk2. How do i proceed from here? Before i went to work i did a light smart test that passed. nassen-diagnostics-20230125-0738.zip
January 25, 20233 yr Community Expert It's logged as a disk problem, but these can sometimes be intermittent, run an extended SMART test.
January 25, 20233 yr Author Hope iam doing this right. Exactly what am i looking at in the logs? Here is the extended smart test log. nassen-smart-20230125-1124.zip
January 25, 20233 yr Author thnx for the input @JorgeB So i just ordered 2x Toshiba N300 HDWG480UZSVA 256MB 8TB 1x WD Red Pro WD6003FFBX Iam currently using a microserver gen8 with 4x drivebays but iam only using 3 of them How would the correct procedure look like to change them out? never done this before. I start with putting 1 of the 8tb and make it a parity drive. Then remove the bad disk and put in the other 8tb and the 6tb and make the original disk part of the array and thats it?

January 25, 20233 yr Community Expert Since you have a failing disk, you could do parity swap procedure with disk2. That will copy parity to 8TB then rebuild disk2 to the former parity disk. Then you can proceed to replace/rebuild disk1 with 8TB. And/or upsize/rebuild new disk2 (former parity) to 8TB if you want. Stop the array, unassign disk2, start the array with disk2 unassigned. Then disk2 will be a missing disk and you can follow the documented parity swap procedure.
