Drive with Red Ball

Featured Replies

I had my server down for a few days and booted it up tonight.  I noticed that the drive light was on so went to take a look in the config.  I noticed there's a red ball next to the drive.  I shut down and rebooted and the drive light is off now but the red ball is still next to the drive.  I ran a smart test but not sure what to make of it.  I'd appreciate some help.  I'm going to shut down the server and recheck the cabling in the meantime.

I rechecked the wiring and all.  Powered back up.  Red ball is still there.  I have about 1.8TB of data on this 2GB drive.  I'm not sure what I should do?  Help...

Should I run a parity check? 

Do I first need to use the Trust My Array feature then run the parity check?

I just want to make sure I'm clear.  By rebuild you mean "start a parity-reconstruct of the disk"?  Right?

I have another quick question which I'm a little confused on.  I started a parity rebuild which is about 25% done.  I noticed that all the drives are showing writes on them with no errors.  If the parity rebuild is rebuilding drive 9 in my array why is there writes on my other discs?  Also should the writes on my rebuilt disc equal the amount of the drive size minus the free space?

All disk should have a few writes from being mounted. Parity is computed for the entire physical disk.

THanks!
