I've just done an update to Unraid 7 after putting it off for a while. 

I always check SMART data prior to an update as part of my pre-update checks, not necessary, but i just like a picture of what the system looked like prior to updating.

 

Since updating my 2nd parity disk is showing the following:

 

 

And when running the extended SMART test it goes to 10% and then displays:

 

 

However when i check the smart log from the UI, i see no errors!

 

 

For a little more detail in case it matters, my last parity check was 5 days ago, and the one before that 90 days ago.

 

 

This all seems a little fishy. Can anyone shed any light?

If a disk cannot complete the Extended SMART test then it should normally be replaced.  Any pending sectors is a cause for concern and that drive seems to have a lot of them.
 

Since you did not provide your system’s diagnostics zip file we cannot check the SMART test results.

I'll generate and attach in a mo, seemed very coincidental that the smart failure have only shown since the update no?

It certainly looks like the drive has failed:

SMART Extended Self-test Log Version: 1 (1 sectors)
Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Extended offline    Completed: read failure       90%     45019         11579922680
# 2  Extended offline    Completed: read failure       90%     45019         11579922680
# 3  Short offline       Completed: read failure       90%     45019         11579922680
# 4  Extended offline    Completed without error       00%     14673         -
# 5  Short offline       Completed without error       00%     14659         -

Since that test is internal to the drive it is unlikely to be software related in any way.

Thank for looking - i understand the SMART test is internal but could it have been prompted by the update in anyway? Is there a way of verifying the SMART data that is currently being presented?

Can’t think of how software could cause this.   I have never heard of the SMART data being read incorrectly by Unraid but you could always verify this by plugging the drive into another machine to read it there instead.

Thanks - yeah i was tihnking i might do that tbh just to be sure. I've got around 8 spares, but dont want to confine good disks to the bin. Yes they've just turned 5 years old... but the 2tb disks they replaced were 9 years old and kept hotter. Just seems a bit coincidental after the update.

Nope
