Hey all

I have a disk, now that I am back from holidays, thats made an error, or more.

I have the smart and dia here:
ST20000NM007D-3DJ103_ZVT5ZA0F-20260713-1127.txttdk-diagnostics-20260713-1121.zip

I hope they will help.

I have swapped the cable, and from what I see, the disk is fine? :) I am NOT the best at this, so I am very sorry if I have missed something or can seam a bit slow.

Could I just run a new config and see how it goes?

Thanks agian guys :)

Disk dropped offline; this is typically a power connection issue. SMART also looks OK, my suggestion would be to check/replace cables and rebuild, this assuming the emulated disk is still mounting as in the diags, and the contents look correct.

The fact that the disk is emulated means that a write to it failed for some reason so New Config is probably the best way to proceed ad you would lose any data written since it was disabled. Instead since the emulated disk seems to have mounted fine you should ne rebuilding it. If you think the disk is healthy then follow these instructions to do the rebuild.

In terms of checking disk health, the best way is to run the Extended SMART test (which the diagnostics show has not been done). If that completes without error the dtive is normally OK and the write failed due to an external factor.

Perfect.
All I have done is swap the cable, nothing else. I can swap the power aswell, if that might make a difference aswell.

Thanks so much :)

Hi

I will run the test right away! :)

It does take some time. Around 1.5 hours per TB is quite typical, and progress only gets updated in 10% intervals.

Yes, can see its 'slow' :D Its all good - rather a good reason to do the right thing here, then a quickfix thats not the right one.
I will let it run, and get back here when its done :)

So, we are done, and this is the status update
ST20000NM007D-3DJ103_ZVT5ZA0F-20260714-1519.txt

From what I can tell, its all good?
I have NOT changed the power to the disk yet, but I will if needed for sure! :) The sata cable for the drive was changed before the test was made.

If I can do a rebuild, can I just click this:

Just figure since I am not changing anything, that I can choose to preserve the current assignments?
Thanks agian guys for all the help <3

No. If you use New Config then you can no longer do a rebuild.

Damn, that was my only thought to be honest
How do I get it to act normal agian ?

Use the instructions here as mentioned earlier.

Right - overlooked that agian - so sorry. I will look into that right away!

Follow the guide - and now this is what I got

That shows errors on parity; new diags please. (and cancel the rebuild if it didn't abort by itself)

Damn
I stopped it, and here is the smart:

ST20000NM007D-3DJ103_ZVT5Y5ZN-20260715-1047.txt wich says nothing

I cant seem to get that parity to spin up, no matter what I press, nothing happens.

EDIT: I made a restart, and here is a SMART of the parity drive now:
ST20000NM007D-3DJ103_ZVT5Y5ZN-20260715-1100.txt

And how the dashbord looks: ( where disk 9 is the one that was emulated 'still is')

Sure thing!

Diags are after rebooting, so we can't see what happened. Start the array and post new diags to see if the emulated disk is still mounting.

Sure thing - my bad.

When I started the array, it started the rebuild agian, from 0. I canceled that, and then made the diag. Hope thats ok.

From what I can see, all the data that I had before, is still there to see. Cant see that something should be missing.

Emulated disk9 is not mounting; check filesystem and post new diags after array start.

Alright! I have done that, and here it is:

This is where I am at now:

I have not pressed the FIX botton, just an FYI
And agian, thank you so much for all you time and help here! <3

That is a quite normal result. Now you need to Zero Log
