All,

I've searched the forums and seen a number of discussions on the 'disk disabled, contents emulated' issue. I took the array off line and put it in maintenance mode then ran a scan.

 

I was wondering if someone with more knowledge could confirm that the disk now looks OK and could be rebuilt onto itself as per the following doc:-

 

Storage Management | Unraid Docs

 

Or whether I have other/ bigger issues.

 

I've attached the smart diags and general diags file

 

Many thanks for any assistance in advance.

Regards

 

Steve

It's logged as a disk error, and there are pending sectors, run an extended SMART test, but most likely the disk needs to be replaced.

Thanks JorgeB.

I've initiated a SMART test, but it's going to take some time (20% has taken a few hours). In the meantime I've ordered a replacement on the back of your advice, just to be safe.

 

The drive is actually still under warranty, so may be able to get a replacement for spare. I obviously don't want to risk waiting for them to process.

You don't happen to know how rigorous Seagate are when it comes to claims or whether anything in the SMART tests would automatically flag them to void warranty (e.g. Over temp).

 

Thanks again for the help and I'll post teh SMARt results once completed.

Regards

The SMART test finally completed with 'read failure'.

 

I've attached the downloaded report but to my untrained eye I don't see much different.

SMART test failing means the disk needs to be replaced.

Thanks again JorgeB!
