April 17, 20251 yr Hi, Sorry to ask. I promised I've researched and tried stuff. Have a failed data disk. SMART checked out, but as we all know this isn't definitive. When I pulled the cover off the tower I noticed a SATA cable unplugged. Might be the problem... Plugged back in & powered on the box. Disk still showing the same error (I think this is expected). Followed the directions on "Rebuilding a drive onto itself" and after re-assigning the disabled disk (step 6) and powering on the array, I still see the disk as disabled. I don't see where to fix this at. Can you help? Screenshot of disk attributes attached. Link to what I followed: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#rebuilding-a-drive-onto-itself Thanks!! Edited April 17, 20251 yr by SomeUNRAIDguy Screenshot was incomplete
April 17, 20251 yr Author Gotcha. Actually, I'm guessing this disk is hosed. Here's the disk log when its not assigned & the array is in Maint Mode. Can you confirm, or is a full diagnostics needed? Thanks again!!

April 19, 20251 yr Author Sorry for the delay. Thanks for your help. New diagnostics attached w disk not assigned and array started in normal mode. Edited May 21, 20251 yr by SomeUNRAIDguy
April 19, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution Looks like it was kicked out again almost immediately after starting rebuild. Emulated disk3 is mounted. Do you have a spare disk you could use for rebuild?
April 20, 20251 yr Author Thats what it looked like to me, too. Yes, I have a spare disk. Honestly, my delay in replying was the new disk preclearing. The new disk has taken its place in the array and there appears to be no problems with it over the past 2ish hours. Safe to assume this other disk is trash? I appreciate your help.
April 20, 20251 yr Community Expert You could do another extended self-test, or even a preclear to test it, but wait until rebuild is successful.
