October 24, 20241 yr Hey all, I just got notified that disk3 is having read errors. I ran a short SMART without errors. I am inclined to just swap the disk out because age and I'd like this server to be up (I have taken the array offline). However, I thought I should run these diagnostics by the pros before I start a rebuild. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks. Edited December 2, 20241 yr by spall Remove attachment
October 25, 20241 yr Community Expert Solution It's logged as a disk problem, and SMART is showing issues, short test is not a good way to test the disk, you can run an extended test, but these type of errors could be intermittent.

October 25, 20241 yr Author Thanks guys. Extended test failed. As is my memory apparently. I had read errors back in May on this same drive. Everything tested fine, and a reboot seemed to make everyone happy. However, when I opened my spreadsheet for my drive inventories, I saw a note that said "read errors on disk3, keep an eye on" << which I apparently did not do. Life stuff. Anyway, I'm 95% through a drive rebuild after swapping in a spare. I'm gonna call that drive toast. Thanks again! I appreciate you.
