Hello Everyone,

 

As the title suggests One of my disks red balled and now I need to know how to properly add it back to the array.

And get my array back up and running properly.

 

I am using unRAID OS 5.0 RC 8.

 

Attached is the smart report for my drive.

 

I of course researched this prior to posting and found this information:

http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting#What_do_I_do_if_I_get_a_red_ball_next_to_a_hard_disk.3F

 

However I would like to ensure that it is the best course of action. Any suggestions are thoroughly appreciated.

 

Thank you

Yes. Follow the procedure you've indicated.

Hello dgaschk,

 

I tried rebuilding the drive it said it would take 23 hours, I checked on it later and it failed while rebuilding.

Please see the attached picture where it shows that the problem drive is (sdl).

 

However when I check the syslog, it tells me I am having problems with drive (sdn) and does not mention drive (sdl). The sys log just repeats these errors over and over again.

 

Nov 11 04:49:39 UNRAID kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdn, sector 6291704 (Errors)

Nov 11 04:49:39 UNRAID kernel: sd 1:0:4:0: [sdn] Unhandled error code (Errors)

Nov 11 04:49:39 UNRAID kernel: sd 1:0:4:0: [sdn]  Result: hostbyte=0x04 driverbyte=0x00 (System)

Thank you for assisting me with this, I really appreciate it.

Post a SMART report for the problem drive.

Just an update:

 

I attempted to run a smart report on the drive, however I would get the error:

 

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options

 

Then I attempted to navigate to the drive, via samba share, and it showed as completely empty. I powered down the server, re-seated the drive into the bay and powered back up.

 

This time I was able to run a smart report. And I have attached it, however the drive looks to be healthy.

 

I am attempting to re-build parity from my failed SDL drive again, and will update tomorrow regarding the outcome.

 

Thank You

I meant to reply back to this earlier. The drive rebuilt properly and I am back up and running. Thanks!
