[SOLVED] Disk disabled during parity check - how to proceed?

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

 

I kicked off a parity check today (correcting I believe, had the tick checked on the webGUI) as I hadn't done one this month. I just went onto the webGUI again there to check progress and it had seemingly stopped and disabled disk 7 (red ball). I checked the syslog and there are lots of lines for read errors, failed to read identity etc related to disk 7.

 

I have tried to run a SMART report but get the "Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)" message.

 

Should I power down, check connections, power up and try to run another SMART report?

 

PS: Running 5.0 Final with most disks (including this failed one) running off a AOC-SASLP-MV8 and the webGUI shows there to be 768 errors on the drive.

Yes.

Selective self-test flags (0x0):
  After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.

 

It lists there being lots of read failures and 1 current pending sector. Is this drive on its way out i.e. do I need replace it? Or I be able to trust parity to rebuild even though this disk failed during the last corrective parity check? Maybe I should have done a non-corrective instead?

 

Cheers :)

 

 

The pending sector must be cleared. Here are several options from least to most preferable:

 

  • Rebuild the disk onto itself.
  • Pre-clear the disk and then rebuild.
  • Rebuild onto a spare and then pre-clear the disk.

  • 2 weeks later...

I rebuilt the data onto a spare disk from my PC and that seemed to go just fine. I then pre-cleared the failed disk which got rid of that pending sector.

 

Thanks.
