March 12, 20242 yr Hi, my parity drive dropped offline repeatedly a few weeks ago. As the whole config is kinda new, I was unsure whether it was really a drive problem (could be, the drives are old) or some trouble with connections. I decided to replace the drive and figured I could maybe look at the replaced drive some more when I have some spare time. My replacement just arrived and I tried to assign it as my new parity, and it dropped offline immediately. Tried a preclear, which also failed. Logs are attached. Is the new drive just broken, or do I have some other issue with the system? preclear_disk_WP019LE1_9499.txt mimir-diagnostics-20240312-1613.zip
March 12, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution Constant disk errors with that disk, not even a SMART report is available, replace/swap cables and post new diags.
March 12, 20242 yr Author I swapped cables with my pool drive (what was sdb before), and it seems better. Pool hasn't acted up yet, but then I haven't started the array yet, just done some SMART checks mimir-diagnostics-20240312-1703.zip
March 12, 20242 yr Community Expert Looks fine so far, no more errors and SMART looks good, try to sync parity again.
March 12, 20242 yr Author Have started the preclear, seems to run fine. Will post an update tomorrow Edit: Zeroing is taking longer than I anticipated, but everything looks fine. Gonna mark this as solved for now Edited March 13, 20242 yr by Elbinho
