Hello everybody,

 

 

I've been using unraid for years without a flaw, until yesterday.

 

My server is suposed to be protected from power cuts by a power surge. Unfortunately the battery was almost dead, so the server had not the time to shut down properly.

 

On reboot, disk1 showed a red button.

I made a clean power off, then a reboot.

Since then, even after several reboots, I still got the blue button.

 

Should I start the array and initiate a data rebuilt ? It looks like the normal procedure, but I would like to be sure I will not crash the whole array (or even this disk).

 

Please find enclosed the syslog (please note that it is not the one from the first reboot after the power failure) and the smart status report for the drive (which looks Ok to me).

 

My unraid version is 4.5.6.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help,

 

Pascal

I think you have two options:

 

1. Trust the fact that no changes have been made to your config and hence, choose New Config and do the Trust My Array thing OR

 

2. Simply rebuild data although you are sure that everything should ideally have worked even with #1.

 

But by letting it rebuild data, you will mostly be sure that you are not asking unRAID to trust an array that may perhaps have something been written to it when the power failure occurred. If I were you I would have been doing the rebuild drive process immediately, because I would want to spend as little time with the array unprotected (as it must be now) as possible and I don't think there is any risk involved in doing that.

 

Please do wait for affirmation on this from some senior members. I am a noob and am just posting from my limited understanding and experience. 

Hello extremaudio,

 

thank you for your advice.

 

I will wait till tomorrow and if there are no more adition to your comment I will launch the rebuild process.

 

Have a nice evening,

 

 

Update :

 

followed the described procedure (start the array and have data rebuild).

 

Worked fine, everything looks OK.

 

Cheers,
