September 19, 201213 yr Hi all. Got a red ball on one of my drives and attempted to run a smart test on it. Smart test failed with the following: smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright © 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device) A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. In the forums, others have had this and it was recommended to check all connections. I shut down and reseated everything. Now I do get a smart test (output below). It seems ok now. Can someone please confirm that it appears the disk is ok and that I can bring it back on line using this process?: Stop the array. Go to the Devices page and un-assign the disk. Go to the main page and start the array. Stop the array again. Go to the Devices page and re-assign the disk. Go to the Main page - system should indicate there is a "new" drive to replace the disabled one. Check the confirmation box and click Start to start a parity-reconstruct of the disk. root@KingNAS:~# smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sdc smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright © 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 Serial Number: WD-WMAZA7231288 Firmware Version: 51.0AB51 User Capacity: 2,000,398,934,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Wed Sep 19 14:42:55 2012 CDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

September 19, 201213 yr That is the process to get a disk back online. (and it appears the re-seating of the cables fixed the issue since the first time you attempted to get a smart report the drive did not respond at all.) Whatever you do, do NOT format it, do NOT set a new disk configuration... Just un-assign, start array, stop array, re-assign. Joe L.
