Hi

 

My UnRaid server has been running several years without any problem. But today I noticed a disk was marked red with MBR: unaligned.

 

What should I do ? Syslog attached.

syslog.txt

Nothing. You should do nothing.

This is perfectly fine.

A red ball next to a disk is not ok. See here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting#What_do_I_do_if_I_get_a_red_ball_next_to_a_hard_disk.3F

All the original post showed was the question "MBR Unaligned?" when I first read it, which does not need any steps to be taken.

 

Now if it's a red balled drive is an entirely different matter.

Hi

 

Been very buzy the last days....I've made the smartctl -a -A /dev/sda >/boot/smart.txt command and output is attached. I got no clue what to look after....can anyone tell if I need to replace drive ?

 

 

Thx

smart.txt

Just checked all cables and that didnt help.

Report looks ok.

 

Just checked all cables and that didnt help.

 

The red-ball will not resolve until the disk is rebuilt. Refer to the link above.

I've rebuilt disk and all ok

 

Thx for help

Aften parity check I get this option: Correct any Parity-Check errors by writing the Parity disk with corrected parity.

 

Should I start this ?

This is the normal default that one runs periodically on the assumption that if there is a parity mismatch it is most likely to be on the parity drive.  There is a check box to run without automatic correction.

 

As you say you have just run a parity check I see no reason to run this.

Yes. Run a parity check. There should be zero errors. Do not choose to correct the errors.
