February 22, 20242 yr I have 1 data disk that went disabled ( I copied the contents), I'm now pre-clearing (at approx 20% done) a fresh disk to replace it. Not a problem, I've done this before. However, one of my 2 parity disks went disabled with read errors (?) I know the procedure to rebuild a disk onto itself, my question is whats the best and safest strategy here? Should I deal with rebuilding on to itself the disabled parity disk first? and than deal with the pre-cleared data disk? I'm thinking so, because 1. I have a copy of the contents from the data disk. and 2. if the other parity disk get stupid on me I may have a bigger problem to deal with. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.. server-diagnostics-20240221-2024.zip
February 22, 20242 yr Community Expert It is really up to you I think. You can do both in parallel if you want, and I see no reason why this should be much riskier that doing them one at a time and avoids the need to do two rebuild cycles. If you do want to do just one initially going for fixing the second parity seems best.
