DISK_DSBL Error

Featured Replies

Hi

 

When I tried to stop my array a moment ago my Unraid server stopt reacting. I couldn't access my server anymore and I had to force shutdown my server.

 

After reboot I have now a red dot with a HD. That HD used to be my parity but about a month or two ago I changed that parity with another one because I wanted to add a 3 TB disc. That operation went without problems.

 

This disc with the error is an Green WD 2 TB disc.  When I go to my server I can still see that disc and I can still access it. I can also open a file that is on that disc.

 

The disc itself is my first disc that I have added to my Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 card. My other disc's are in my system via my motherboard.

 

Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be?

 

The Smart status report for that disc:

After reboot I have now a red dot with a HD. That HD used to be my parity but about a month or two ago I changed that parity with another one because I wanted to add a 3 TB disc. That operation went without problems.

 

The red dot means it's marked as a failed disc, so is no longer in use by UnRAID.  The SMART data shows some pending reallocations, and also has a few power-off retractions ... meaning it lost power unexpectedly and retracted the heads.  I'd replace the drive and let the system rebuild it.

 

 

This disc with the error is an Green WD 2 TB disc.  When I go to my server I can still see that disc and I can still access it. I can also open a file that is on that disc.

 

This is normal.  You're not actually accessing the disc => the data is being reconstructed by reading the other discs plus parity and recreating the data for that disc.  That's what fault-tolerance is all about  :)

 

Just noticed your title ... "DISK_DSBL" => is the GUI showing that as the status?  If that's the case, it doesn't think the drive is present.    Before doing anything else, shut down and double-check the cables to the disk (data and power) ... then boot back up.    There's a chance it may come back online, although I'm not sure what will happen since it's got pending reallocations.  [These need to be cleared]

The GUI is showing this as status. I have just done a reboot. Still a red dot in the GUI. In Main I have the error code DISK_DSBL.

 

So I suppose this disc is failing. Do I just take at the disc and put in a new? Or do I first put in a new disc and let unraid move the data to the new disc? I just bought a new WD RED disc from 3TB yesterday. Was planning on adding it today when I noticed that red dot in my system. That dot wasn't there yesterday.

 

Thx for the help already :)

You indicated your parity replacement went well last month -- have you done a recent parity check?  ... and did it show everything was okay (0 sync errors)?    As long as you have good parity, I'd just replace the drive and let it rebuild.  You can NOT do another parity check now, so if you don't have good parity you're going to have to do this differently.

 

... but as long as parity is good, just replace the drive and let it rebuild.    May as well use a nice new 3TB drive while you're doing it  :)

Last parity check is 70 days ago. 0 sync errors.

 

So I just take out the disc and let it rebuild.

Yep ... just shut down; replace the disk with a nice new one; and power it back up.  When you Start the array, it will start the rebuild.

Disc replaced. Rebuilding as we speak...  920 minutes left...

 

Thx for the help!

After the rebuild is finished and your system is back to normal you might want to do some further testing on the drive you replaced. A long Smartctl test would be good and if it passes run Preclear on it a few times. You might find you have a usable spare. Going back through your saved Syslogs can help isolate why unRAID disabled the disk. Good luck with the rebuild!

Just noticed your title ... "DISK_DSBL" => is the GUI showing that as the status?  If that's the case, it doesn't think the drive is present.

No,that would be DISK_DSBL_NP  (not present)

DISK_DSBL indicates the disk was disabled because a WRITE to it failed.

  Before doing anything else, shut down and double-check the cables to the disk (data and power) ... then boot back up.    There's a chance it may come back online
No, it will NEVER restore itself.
, although I'm not sure what will happen since it's got pending reallocations.  [These need to be cleared]

All that needs to happen, assuming re-seating the cables fixes the issue it to

 

STOP THE ARRAY

Un-ASSIGN THE DISABLED DISK

START THE ARRAY WITH IT UN_ASSIGNED (this causes unRAID to forget the model/serial number of the disk)

STOP THE ARRAY ONCE MORE

RE-ASSIGN THE DISK

START THE ARRAY ONCE MORE AND THE DISK WILL RE_CONSTRUCT ONTO ITSELF.

I don't want to hijack this thread but I have a related question.

 

If I replace that bad drive for a bigger one will unRAID rebuild the data?

yes

Good to know. Thanks Joe L.

As Joe noted, Yes.    But in fact it doesn't even have to be bad ==> you can replace any drive with a larger drive and it will rebuild.    The only restriction is that you can't use a drive larger than your parity drive -- so if you want to "grow" your array this way, the first thing you'd typically do is replace the parity drive with a larger drive (e.g. with currently available drives, if you were replacing the parity drive you'd probably want to use a 4TB drive).

 

Thank you Garycase!

Hmm. Thx for the tip but I already used the other method...

 

My unraid is rebuild and I haven't lost any data. I'm doing a parity check now.

 

When the parity check is finished I will put the disc I have taken out back into the system and see if it still works.
