I'm not new to unraid and have had several drives quit over the years but this was one baffled me. It appears that one of my drives got red balled and I did not noticed for a few weeks. I always reset the drives and reboot just in case that did not fix it. I remove the drive and ran the extended smart test and it passed. I put it back in the array and still red balled. Not sure why its passing diagnostics but showing up red balled. So i get a new drive replace and the rebuilt is done all green.

 

I still beating the drive with all kinds of diags and stress test but it passes. I just don;t know why unraid believe it failed.

 

No i did not get diagnostics prior to rebooting so failed on that one.

Unraid disables a device if a write fails, most often caused by a power/connection issues, if the drive is healthy, the emulated disk is mounting and contents look correct, you can rebuild don top.

Attach DIagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

the disk did not have any data when i use a linux pc to browse it, but that's incorrect because under the main tab it shows that disk to have have 80Gb of data.

it does not matter at this point bought a replacement and installed, unraid rebuilt and its happy now.

I should have prior to doing anything but I did not.

I don't think I get any day as to why it initially it red balled since I powered off the server.

If it's XFS it will always show some used space due to XFS overheard, the larger the disk, the more overhead it will have.
