May 18, 20251 yr I've just replaced 2 failing drives in my system with 2 new drives. I'm 18% into the rebuild and receive the attached errors on one of the new disks. I'm not quite sure what the best procedure would be. Let the rebuild complete and then RMA the drive? Cancel the rebuild now, shutdown and replace the drive? Thanks, Josh unraid-diagnostics-20250518-2257.zip Edited May 18, 20251 yr by Proddy Updating title + attaching diagnostics
May 18, 20251 yr Author It just hit 3, so it's getting progressively worse ETA: Sorry, make that 4 ETA2: Jumped straight from 4 to 7 Edited May 18, 20251 yr by Proddy Updating error count
May 19, 20251 yr Author I went to sleep, still only on 7 errors on both 12 hours later. The parity check is now at 74%, is it worth finishing parity then following the normal procedure to replace the new faulty drive? Thanks, Josh
May 19, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution If it's a 74% might as well let it finish, at least the other rebuliding disk should be good, then replace that one.
May 19, 20251 yr Author Thanks - am I right in thinking that this shouldn't have affected any of my data? The array was in maintenance mode during the rebuild so nothing should've been read/written other than the parity
