Hi guys,

I tried running a parity check today, and noticed it got stuck at around 40% - the syslog is showing all kinds of red lines for disk 2 (smartctl attached) - I guess I need to replace it? I thought unraid disabled 'bad ' disks though - that's happened in the past and I've swapped them out, so not sure if that's what's happening again here.

I'm still running v5.0-rc3, I keep meaning to upgrade to final, I will once i figure out the parity check issue. syslog and smart report are attached,

thanks!

Your smart report indicates that you might be having a cabling issue. I would reseat the cable connecting the port to the drive, or even replace that cable. And then retry the parity check. Too bad unRAID has no feature to start a parity check near the 40% mark, so you'll have to begin at the beginning.

thanks bjp999, replacing the cable seems to have worked, the parity check completed without error.
