December 16, 201114 yr Author disk6 and disk7 both have file system errors. See here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Check_Disk_Filesystems SMART reports look OK. Thanks, I followed the instructions on the link you pointed to in Reply #5 and reran again. Here are the results: reiserfsck --check /dev/md6 Results: The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem. If you have bad blocks, we advise you to get a new hard drive, because once you get one bad block that the disk drive internals cannot hide from your sight, the chances of getting more are generally said to become much higher (precise statistics are unknown to us), and this disk drive is probably not expensive enough for you to you to risk your time and data on it. If you don't want to follow that follow that advice then if you have just a few bad blocks, try writing to the bad blocks and see if the drive remaps the bad blocks (that means it takes a block it has in reserve and allocates it for use for of that block number). If it cannot remap the block, use badblock option (-B) with reiserfs utils to handle this block correctly. bread: Cannot read the block (2): (Input / Output error) Aborted reiserfsck --check /dev/md7 Results: The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem.

December 16, 201114 yr Try the drive with a new SATA cable/port and check the power connection. If the results ae the same then the disk needs to be replaced.
December 16, 201114 yr Author What do I do with my Orange dot on the Parity or will that go away once I replace the other drives?
December 17, 201114 yr Author If someone could educate me on the following: Do I need to replace my Parity drive first? Leave it alone? Replace data drives first?
December 19, 201114 yr Author Any advice on my last few questions? I have two new drives that I just bought. Do I even know if my parity drive is hosed too? Is there any way to salvage anything from the data drives? Do I need to replace my Parity drive first? Leave it alone? Replace data drives first?
December 20, 201114 yr You can type initconfig to reset the array. Parity will become invalid and you will lose the data on the two data disks. Although, using reiserfsck you may be able to recover some of the files if the disk can respond. After initconfig parity will rebuild. Run a parity check after the rebuild.
December 26, 201114 yr Author Thanks. I'm still uncertain of the condition of my Parity drive since it's orange. Is it possible that the parity drive still contains some data from the two disks that failed? Is it worth me trying to swap one of the data drives before doing the initconfig?
