[UNSOLVED BUT REBUILDING] HELP! What would cause this disk to disable? (v 4.5.3)


Recommended Posts

I was running the preclear script on a new 2TB disk when after a while one of my data disks shows up as being disabled with SMART unable to show any kind of information for the disk. The disk log for the disk before I rebooted was this:

After rebooting, I was able to run smartctl to get information about the disk and for the life of me, I can't really see anything wrong with it.:

I'm sorta lost as to whether or not the disk is truly bad, or if preclearing the new disk may have caused some sort of controller error, or something else entirely.  I don't really know what to do to get my server into a protected state asap.

Link to comment

Question: Since I have that extra unassigned 2TB disk in the system, would it be better to :

1: Remove the current failed disk5 from the array then assign the new 2TB disk to disk5 and let the parity rebuild?

2: Rebuild the current disk5 from parity.

 

My personal opinion is to go ahead and assign the new disk5 to parity leaving the old disk5 around "just in case" parity should fail to rebuild.

 

Question: If I assign the new disk to disk5, will the server preclear the disk prior to rebuild or will it rebuild immediately? Minimizing server unavailability is the chief concern.

 

Link to comment

I would also like to mention that the new 2TB disk was supposed to be used to replace a disk showing signs of impending terminal peril. I'm crossing my fingers on the rebuild.  If it's successful, then the old disk 5 may become the new disk10.

I've decided to rebuild using the new disk. My 16 disk array will take almost 20 hours to rebuild. When it gets past the 1TB mark of (the size of disk10), I'll breath a bit easier. Then it'll be time to preclear the old disk on a different SATA channel to verify the disk is truely good before using it as a replacement for disk10. Sigh, I hate babysitting. Heh.
