If /dev/md10 is available then continue to work with it. I suggested making a copy if /dev/md10 was not available and you had to work with the /dev/sdX1 partition. You can copy anyway by installing a destination drive that is at least as big as the original and using the commands given in the link I posted. You can make a copy from /dev/md10 to /dev/sdX1

before doing anything, my disk 9 just became unformatted.??

 

I have attached short smart report of disk 9.

 

what is happening?

 

thanks.

syslog.1

syslog.1_4.11.13.zip

syslog.2

 

any other logs I should pull?

syslog.2_4.11.13.zip

any advice?

run reiserfsck with --rebuild-sb

ran reiserfsck on disk 9 which state no corruptions.  I rebooted array, disk 9 showed up again, no longer unformatted?  strange.  I'm elated.  But what's going on?

 

Thanks.

That can happen if at any point unRAID gets a write failure to the drive as long as it did not damage the file system.

 

Lets hope you are as lucky with disk 10.

I'm finally getting around to doing the reiserfsck --rebuild-sb

 

There are many questions asked?

 

Enter block size [4096]:

 

No journal device was specified.

Is journal default? y/n:

 

I've searched and could not fine any posts with instructions.

 

Thanks.

Check Disk File systems

 

The section you want is near the bottom.

thank you.

 

Currently copying disk 10 using :

dd conv=noerror if=/dev/sdl of=/dev/sdx 

using sdl since md10 isn't recognized

 

sdx is my extra hdd

 

after i punched that in telenet, i just have a green cursor?

 

is that is to be expected or is the process frozen?

 

any signs of progress? %

 

thanks.

That's normal, there's a display progress option on newer releases, status=progress, but wait and it will be done when you get the cursor back.

thanks.

 

 

when i rebuild:  reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/sdb

 

or 

 

                          reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/sdb1?

 

thanks.

If the disk is still part of the array use mdX (replace X with disk number), if not use sdb1.
