I have 1 drive going bad. It has failed its smart test. I am currently copying data from it to another drive and then I plan on shrinking the array. But it is really going slow. Like around 1.8 MB/s but with pauses of a second every now and again.

 

Should I pull the drive and have the parity drives fake it being there until stuff is copied or just go slow and let it work its way through?

 

It is a 2tb green drive out of warranty with 35K hours on it.

 

I am having reallocation sector count pre-fail error. I cannot do a short smart test as it fails at 90% all the time. It seems to be totally slowing down the array.

Are you sure all of the other drives are OK?

 

Post a syslog

Ok. I have attached the syslog. This version 6b14 not sure why I posted in the 5 section.

 

But after I posted this originally midnight commander suddenly jump in speed.

 

The disk in question is sde

 

Thanks

syslog.txt

I am attaching a report for the drive sde

 

I have swap spots in my computer so I am pretty sure it is not the cables.

 

I also removed the video card so it should have plenty of power for all 8 drives

 

The drive is a corsair 800 watt platinum plus rated drive.
