mauriceatkinson@btconnect. Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 (edited) I moved all my data from several 2 & 3tb drives onto a couple of 12tb drives. The move went OK and parity drive was updated. However the 12tb data drives has failed and when the array starts it states it is umnountable. I have tried UD and that also states it is unmountable. The parity drive is showing as invalid. I have ordered another 12tb drive as I thought a drive swop would be straightforward but I am concerned that the parity drive is showing as invalid. is there anyway to look at the parity drive to see if the data can be rebuilt with a new data drive? is there anyway to get to the data on the faulty 12tb as I would hate to loose all this data? freedom-diagnostics-20240914-1746.zip Edited September 14, 2024 by mauriceatkinson@btconnect.

JorgeB Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 Disk appears to be failing, run an extended SMART test to confirm. 37 minutes ago, mauriceatkinson@btconnect. said: The move went OK and parity drive was updated. In that case do you know why parity is showing as invalid? Quote
mauriceatkinson@btconnect. Posted September 14, 2024 Author Posted September 14, 2024 the exended smart test shows "completed read failure" this is the smart log for the drive if that helps? I am assuming that the parity drive should not be showing invalid? what options do I have to get my data back? freedom-smart-20240914-1833.zip Quote

If you description is correct it shouldn't, but since it is, best bet is possibly cloning the disk with ddrescue, then try to mount the clone Quote
mauriceatkinson@btconnect. Posted September 21, 2024 Author Posted September 21, 2024 thanks I used ddrescue and recovered the data. However I swopped out the bad drive but now I have the parity drive is disabled. I know the system went through its parity check and last night it was at 80% with no errors. This morning the drive is disabled. Any ideas as to the issue here? freedom-diagnostics-20240921-0833.zip Quote
JorgeB Posted September 21, 2024 Posted September 21, 2024 Looks more like a power/connection issue, but the parity disk dropped, so there's no SMART, check/replace cables for that disk and post new diags after boot Quote
mauriceatkinson@btconnect. Posted September 21, 2024 Author Posted September 21, 2024 ok changed the power and sata port but still parity drive is disabled. freedom-diagnostics-20240921-0950.zip Quote
Solution JorgeB Posted September 21, 2024 Solution Posted September 21, 2024 SMART looks fine, if you replaced both cables re-sync parity: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management#rebuilding-a-drive-onto-itself 1 Quote
