June 24, 20233 yr I have a disk that got a red x and has been disabled. I ran both a quick and an extended smart test and it passed both. Was hoping someone could take a look at my test results and diagnostics and let me know if you think it's safe for me to rebuild the data on the same drive. If it is safe to move forward with the drive, are these the correct steps to take? stop the array Unassign the drive start the array to ‘forget’ the assignment stop the array assign the drive start the array to commit the change and to start rebuilding the contents of the drive based on the current set of data drives. Thank you. tower-diagnostics-20230624-0936.zip tower-smart-20230623-0745.zip
June 24, 20233 yr Your syslog shows errors of sorts with commands to SDD and SDH. You probably should wait for someone else to chime in, but I wouldn't do anything at all just yet.
June 25, 20233 yr Community Expert It's logged as a disk problem but since SMART test passed disk is OK for now, rebuild and keep monitoring. Also run an extended SMART test on cache.

I ran an extended test on Cache, it passed but I have attached the report as well. Thanks again! tower-smart-20230625-0752.zip

Yes, when you start the array with the disk emulated check that it's still mounting and contents look correct before rebuilding on top. 16 hours ago, Moe said: it passed but I have attached the report as well. Looks OK.
