I recently moved to a new bigger case so I could fit more drives, and when I inspected the drive logs on the disks I attached, one of them has some logs I'm not familiar with and could not find any info on.  Before I put the drives into my array, I want to make sure that everything is OK with the drive, if there was anything I could try to get the logs to not be generated anymore, or if I should just toss it and not risk it.  

 

A bit of history on the drive, I used to have 8 10tb drives in the array (1 as parity).  I upgraded the parity and 3 more of the drives to 20tb, and this was one of the 10tb drives that was replaced. So, this drive was in the array previously and ran fine for over a year.  Now that I have more space in my case, I was hoping to simply add all these 10tb drives that I replaced to the array.

 

Logs in question:

I'm specifically concerned with the wsdd2 Terminated signal received type messages.

 

I'm currently running a pre-clear on the drive, I guess for no other reason than to stress test it to see if whatever is generating these logs would make the pre-clear fail, but it's successfully done the pre-clear and is going through the post-read now.  I also tried changing the power cable that went to the drive, as well as the sata cable, and it's still generating these logs.  There are also 4 other of the exact same model drives that are attached now that do not show these logs, nor do any of the drives in the array. 

 

I don't see any SMART errors, but I'm also running an extended self-test now to double check everything (I attached the current SMART report and will attach an updated one once the extended self-test is finished).

 

Long story short, does anyone know what these logs mean? Are they even a problem?  If so, can I try something I haven't already to fix the issue?  Or should I just take the loss and keep the drive out of the array?

Don't be, those messages are not related to the disk, they appear because they contain "sdd" in the log, same as the disk identifier.

Ahh ok, that makes sense.  Thanks!
