So I had a power outage, I wasn't there and the UPS ran out of juice.  It's a CyberPower and I've had issues with the shutdown command so I had to turn that feature off.  I came home, turned the server back on and it booted back up but started a parity check.  I have unmenu loaded and when I went to the page it stopped responding.  Nothing I could do would bring it up.  I could telnet to the server just fine but I didn't know the command to stop a parity check to see if that would give control back.

 

I let it sit there for 24 hours, hopefully it was doing a parity check.  This morning I finally just turned it off since I couldn't do anything with it.  I turned it back on and it came up fine, array started but my last 2tb disk (it's completely empty, nothing on it) was red balled.  Smart says it passed but I'm not sure why it red balled.  Any ideas?

Post a SMART report for disk 5.

Here you go.

dgaschk, I really appreciate your help.  One question, since you pointed me to to link on how to recover a red ball drive, I stopped the array, removed disk 5, started the array, stopped the array, added disk 5 back to the array, started the array, config was valid, clicked rebuild and 6 hours later all were green again....the question, what pointed you to think the drive wasn't bad?  I'm just wondering as I saw nothing out of the ordinary from the smart report and wanted to make sure the drive wasn't really bad.

 

Again, thanks for the help.

The SMART report showed a pending sector. A rebuild should resolve this.

 

197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0032  100  100  000    Old_age  Always      -      1

 

Post a SMART report after the rebuild.

I totally missed that.  Here's the after rebuild report.

Looks good. Do a parity check tonight.
