December 4, 20241 yr I was doing some dusting and accidently clicke a drive door open enough for it to spit it out and is now disabled with contents emulated, i stopped the array, unassigned the disk, started array, stopped it again and then reassigned the disk, it started to rebuild then after a day i noticed a read check was paused, i let it resume and seems to have perofrmed the read check but the drive is still disabled. Any ideas please. warptower-diagnostics-20241204-1149.zip syslog
December 4, 20241 yr Community Expert There were errors on disk2 during the rebuild, it appears to be failing, run an extended SMART test on that disk.

Doesent seem to want to start the test, i have disabled spin down by setting to never, when i click start it just reverts back to a clickable button like its done nothing, is it because the disk is disabled, if so how do i perform extnded test ? also worth mentioning the array is running in safe mode, i was ironing out some hardware issues but the array has been up for a few months without issue
December 4, 20241 yr Community Expert Disk2 is not disabled, try running on the CLI: smartctl -t long /dev/sdb

December 5, 20241 yr Community Expert It failed with a read error, disk is not good, so now you may have some that loss because the rebuild can fail, or have some corruptions.

Pretty sure if a disk was not good that UNraid would red ball it ? thats whats happened before, when its alerted me i have put in a new drive. i Have drives to replace, whats the best foot forward ?

December 13, 20241 yr Author so how can i get drive 6 rebuilt so i can then go and replace drive 2 ? On 12/9/2024 at 12:20 PM, JorgeB said: Only if a write fails, not a read.
December 13, 20241 yr Community Expert That's the problem with single parity and multiple disks with issues, you can still try to rebuild it again, but there could be some corruption in the rebuilt disk, or it can abort, if that happens, there are some other options you can try, but will likely still result in some data loss.

Thank you. I will try to rebuild again and report back, my parity is 4TB but i have a couple of 10TB i will put up for dual parity once this is resolved

Phew, it has rebuilt, still showing lots of error now though, im concerned for the other disks showing errors, i thought UNraid would tell me to replace them which is why they are still sitting there, if you say they should be replaced i will happily do so, should i replace those and what order should i do it in ?, i am going to have 2 x 10TB for parity so also need to factor that in warptower-diagnostics-20241216-1215.zip
December 16, 20241 yr Community Expert Syslog is being spammed with docker image related errors, you need to recreate the image, but before that, post a screenshot of main to see the errors that happened during the rebuild

Yes. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/docker-management/#re-create-the-docker-image-file Then: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/docker-management/#re-installing-docker-applications Also see below if you have any custom docker networks: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/docker-management/#docker-custom-networks Disk6 may have some corrupt data due to the other disk errors, but based on the number of errors it shouldn't be much, if you like, you can now replace disk2, but note that some data corruption is also expected on that rebuilt disk.

Oddly UNraid has crashed overnight since rebuilding the drive so i will see how it stands up untill i replace disk 2. Also worth noting, you may recall my other thread about UNraid driver constantly crashing, it was suggested it was a hardware issue, pretty sure it was either a RAM stick or a slot, i dont have time to muck around so i bought a new mobo, CPU and RAM as i wanted to .M2 drives for cache, do you think its better to carry on getting the array stable, replacing disks that need to be etc before installing new hardware ? or should i get new hardware in first ?
December 17, 20241 yr Community Expert If would be better to do any disk replacements with stable hardware.
December 17, 20241 yr Author Just now, JorgeB said: If would be better to do any disk replacements with stable hardware. Copy that. Thankfully i will have some free time to do this over the Christmas period, currently its doing a parity check, when finioshed ill get to the hardware then once its all in ill do the replacing of disk2, i have the 2x 12TB in hand as well now.
December 17, 20241 yr Author 1 hour ago, JorgeB said: If would be better to do any disk replacements with stable hardware. Sorry to be a pain. Now disk 6 is disabled again, after i had to do a hard power off/on the parity check started, its now paused at 4.3% saying read check... last time i let it resume it just stayed at 10% and failed... i think maybe try to get it back to not being disabled with another rebuild and then replace disk 2 first if thats causing the issues ? also docker service failed to start Edited December 17, 20241 yr by loady
December 17, 20241 yr Community Expert Not much point in doing a read check, you can cancel, and then try to rebuild the disk once the crashing issue is resolved.

After the rebuiild that was successful and the parity check, the server crashed and upon reboot the disk6 was again disabled without it being disturbed, i have tried twice again to rebuild it but remains disabled and asking to perform a read check , i am going to try for a third time, kind of stuck here, i have plenty of new drives i can use to replace any but not sure what is the best course of action if this rebuild fails again, the server is currently stable and not crashing at all and i am accepting of the fact there may be corruption/data loss
