carlos28355 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Ignore my profile this is for a different server. The server is running 5.0.5. I logged into the GUI and it showed a red dot on one of the hdd but it didnt say why. It said the configuration is valid. Its disk sdd. I have attached a syslog. Thanks I also dont see anywhere that i can run a parity check. Am i missing something? Syslog.txt
trurl Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 What do I do if I get a red ball next to a hard disk?
carlos28355 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 alright so ive been busy but im starting to look at this server again. I have ruled out hdd. ruled out sata cable ruled out psu and even went as far as to change mobo and cpu. disk 2 is still a problem. i ran a smart report for the drive i shall post it along with syslog. thanks for info. syslog-2015-10-30.txt smart.txt
trurl Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 When you say disk2 is still a problem, what do you mean? Did you rebuild it? unRAID will not use a disabled drive until it is rebuilt.
carlos28355 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 i was just saying after swapping all the hardware it still a problem. Ill try rebuilding it again but i have gone as far as to swapping the hdd with another and it showed disk 2 with the red ball still so at that point i had assumed it was the mobo because i had tried everything else
carlos28355 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 meant to post unmenu screenshot too...sorry they were the same...fixed now
trurl Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Been a while since I have seen v5. What happens if you start the array?
carlos28355 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 when i start the array everything appears to work normally except i cant do a parity check of course...im still going to rebuild the drive one more time just in case....other than that im not sure...i was going to upgrade to v6 but theres no more free license key anymore
itimpi Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 when i start the array everything appears to work normally except i cant do a parity check of course...im still going to rebuild the drive one more time just in case....other than that im not sure...i was going to upgrade to v6 but theres no more free license key anymore There is a free 'trial' license for v6 (limited to 3 attached devices). Downside is it would need renewing every 30 days.

Downside is it would need renewing every 30 days. thats kind of a pain but maybe i can at least do it as a test and see if it changes anything with the disk...still waiting to rebuild the disk. im running a preclear on another disk so ill post again after i rebuild
carlos28355 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 well i replaced the drive with the same exact drive i did before and the red dot has gone away. Im not going crazy i swear ive done this before and like i said its the same drive. I keep an unplugged extra drive mounted in the chassis. So i will RMA the WD Red drive and take it from there. Thanks everyone!
