November 7, 20232 yr As title said, I built a New Server - transferred all media (30TB) - added parity disk and ran initial parity set up - NOW one array disk showing read failure. Please look at my diagnostics file attached - I'd appreciate some educated input. Thank you. pluto-diagnostics-20231107-0729.zip
November 7, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution It's a logged as a disk error, and the disk has pending sectors, so likely it's failing, you can run an extended SMART test to confirm.
November 7, 20232 yr Author Ran the extended test, and it stopped at 10% with this: "Completed: read failure". Its a recertified drive with a 5 year warranty, so I can get it replaced - but is there a way to recoevr the daya ? Should I copy to another drive(s) on the array? Sadly its a 16GB, with 11-12 TB filled, so I'd need to split it if I copy it over or wait until a replacement arrives. Edited November 7, 20232 yr by Dojimaster

November 7, 20232 yr Community Expert You can manually copy what you can, any read errors you will need to skip those files, or use ddrescue.
