fonzie Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I believe I have had my first hard drive failure. I ran a parity check and now my Disk1 is disabled. This drive had given me errors a while ago which I had attributed to a read failure and brushed off: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=15103.0 now i appears I should have taken more notice. My Disk1 is showing 14,981 errors. I am using unRAID 4.7 and I have attached my syslog. I have never replaced a failed drive before and I want to make sure I do it correctly. What are the exact steps I should take? *I have an extra drive that is precleared and hasn't been added to my array yet. I was hoping to add additional storage, but now with my luck it seems it will be used as a replacement drive :-( syslog.zip Link to comment
dgaschk Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Replace disk1 and rebuild on to the spare. Run pre-clear on the old disk1 several times and see how it does. Link to comment
fonzie Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 That is exactly what I was thinking I should do. So do I just unplug the original Disk1 hard drive and replace it with my new precleared spare hard drive, and it will automatically rebuild it, or is there a button I should press? Edit: I'm going to follow these instructions: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Replacing_a_Data_Drive Link to comment
