December 4, 20232 yr I have a new drive ready to go, but won't get around to it until Monday evening. I also want to be sure I replace the right drive! it's saying XFS (md5p1), but my drives aren't quite like that. They're all sdd, sdh, sdi etc. Dec 3 21:05:57 rubble kernel: XFS (md5p1): Unmount and run xfs_repair Dec 3 21:05:57 rubble kernel: XFS (md5p1): Unmount and run xfs_repair New (used quality eBay) sata cables: check. and a few other threads all relate to this I think: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/144440-is-this-hard-drive-dying-thanks/#comment-1301047 https://forums.unraid.net/topic/147430-somethings-dying-disk5-sdc/#comment-1323148 https://forums.unraid.net/topic/146790-mini-sas-to-sata-cable/#comment-1318730 thanks! rubble-diagnostics-20231203-2102.zip
December 4, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution There were no obvious indications I could see that the drive in question is dying - just that there was file system corruption on the drive. 3 hours ago, rutherford said: I have a new drive ready to go, but won't get around to it until Monday evening. I also want to be sure I replace the right drive! it's saying XFS (md5p1), but my drives aren't quite like that. They're all sdd, sdh, sdi etc Drive can have many alternate names - md5 refers to disk5 in the parity protected array once it has been started. You should run a check filesystem on disk5 to correct the file system errors. If you do this from the GUI then you do not have to worry what name to use for the drive as the GUI takes care of this for you. If you simply replace the drive then the replacement will be rebuilt with exactly the same file system errors so you normally want to get this corrected before the rebuild (assuming you even want to go ahead with the replacement once the file system is corrected).
December 4, 20232 yr Author This has happened several times for this drive. 2-3 now I think. I'll repair this drive and swap it out later. Thanks @itimpi !

I have had issues in the past where particular drives would tend to drop out and in most cases I have tracked it down to the power cabling to the drive not being ideal.
