September 9, 201114 yr unRAID 4.7 Pro, syslog attached. Looks like it started approx 19:51 last night (Sep . Going to start reading the WIKI but would appreciate guidance also. Don't want to mess this up and end up in the dog house syslog1.zip
September 9, 201114 yr Looks very similar to my first hard drive failure from the other day http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=15138.msg142276#msg142276 Run a smart test on ata3 first. Check power and SATA cables (reseat/swap if necessary) I found this to be helpful as well unRAID Wiki The Analysis of Drive Issues
September 9, 201114 yr Author tried smartctl on /dev/sdd but got nothing, guess it couldn't see the drive power down server. checked cables powered up server unRAID menu still shows red ball unMenu says DISK_DSBL ran smarctl on /dev/sdd and got the attached. also attached is the current syslog. not seeing the errors but not sure why still red ball Noticed the 2 Current_Pending_Sector. Best course of action for this? Does everything else look good? What else should I do prior to "re-enabling the drive"? Are the following the proper next steps? Or should I do other stuff prior/instead? You can re-enable the hard drive and reconstruct it as follows: * Stop the array, go to the Devices page and un-assign the disk. * Reboot (use the button on the Main page) * Stop the array, go to the Devices page and re-assign the disk * Go to the Main page - system should detect a "new" drive for the disabled one, click Start to start a parity-reconstruct of the disk. smartctl-sdd.txt syslog.txt
September 9, 201114 yr The red ball is because a write to the drive failed...which may have been attributed to sata/power connection. The smart report looks good (2) pending sectors <do you know if these are new?> http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting#What_do_I_do_if_I_get_a_red_ball_next_to_a_hard_disk.3F Stop the array, go to the Devices page and un-assign the disk. Reboot (use the button on the Main page) Stop the array, go to the Devices page and re-assign the disk Go to the Main page - system should detect a "new" drive for the disabled one, click Start to start a parity-reconstruct of the disk.
September 9, 201114 yr Beat me to the "post" button. Those are the correct steps http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7350.msg72398#msg72398
September 9, 201114 yr No reboot is necessary. Just Stop, unassign, start, stop, assing, start. Peter
September 9, 201114 yr Author ok... stopped arrary unassigned disk started array stopped array reassigned disk started array (checkbox are you sure) data rebuild in progress checked a smartctl report (attached) I had on the drive from 2011-09-04 and it had 0 Current_Pending_Sector smartctl-sdd-20110904.txt
September 10, 201114 yr keep an eye on the drive...plenty of sectors available to reallocate. Watch the "pending" and "reallocated" sector count.
