I don't see any glaring problem but there are 15 reallocated sectors which means it's not a great drive. If the pending and reallocated sectors don't increase any more then you could likely still use it by keeping an eye on it. If it's RMA'able then it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a new one.

5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct  0x0033  100  100  036    Pre-fail  Always      -      15

You cannot expect 0 in the lifetime of a drive, however if this grows continually, then you have an impending problem.

 

9 Power_On_Hours          0x0032  098  098  000    Old_age  Always      -      1875

Low hours. Good.

 

197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0012  100  100  000    Old_age  Always      -      0

When this is non-zero your array has a potential problem of this drive going off line and not being able to rebuild a failed drive.

 

 

187 Reported_Uncorrect      0x0032  100  100  000    Old_age  Always      -      0

198 Offline_Uncorrectable  0x0010  100  100  000    Old_age  Offline      -      0

When these are non-zero, it means there are bad sectors which cannot be reassigned or corrected.

if this grows and continues to grow, the drive needs to reviewed with a SMART long test.

 

# 1  Short offline      Completed without error      00%      550       

This is good, but set the drive spin down off.

Stop the array and/or emhttp.

 

Do a smart -t long test

 

If you don't stop access or stop emhttp from spinning down the drive, the long test will fail.

 

 

overall the drive is healthy enough to use for the unRAID array.

A few reallocated sectors is normal.  a few hundred is cause for alarm, over 1000, I would be looking at re-doing the preclear and/or a badblocks test.

 

In fact, I think if I get any pending sectors, Then I plan to do a badblocks test to force reassignment.

The smart stats do not show that the drive is in too bad of a state.

However, if you received errors on the drive and parity check aborted, the drive may have timed out while it was reallocating sectors.

 

Is this a data drive or a parity drive?

Is there allot of data on the drive? Is it new? 550 hours makes me think it's new.

If it's new and there is no data on the drive, I would suggest removing from the array and running a badblocks test in destructive write mode.

It's a data drive and even though only 550 hours, that is a lot since I only power up when I wanna watch a movie. Thats like about 20 a month, max.

 

There's 8 gig's available on the drive.

 

Power on hours is not spin time. It's how long the drive has had power to it. So even in spin down time, power on hours increments.

550 hours is roughly 23 days or so.

 

Drives usually fail early in the life, near the end of the life or if there is a sudden loss of power. (sectors can get scrambled if the heads are near it and there is a drop or surge in current).

I did the smart -t long test, but when the estimated time was reached it didn't do anything?

 

So I just thought I'd try to rebuild it again and see how that works out.

 

It did the data rebuild, all the dots are green. There's about 600G's of free space, but when I'm trying to move a file it says "Not enough memory.." I'm using Windows 7 x64 /w 16G's of RAM. Damn it!  ;)

 

When I click ok to that it starts to say that i do not have a permission to move a file... After a reboot of unraid server it first tells again that it is out of memory and then the permission thingy again.

 

Do you know what could cause this?

Correct.  Exactly as normal.  You must get a status report to see the results.  The request only starts it going.  Nothing of the results are ever printed until you request them with a subsequent status report.

 

after the expected time, issue an

smartctl -a /dev/sdX

command to see the results (and to see if it has finished)
