February 5, 201610 yr A few days ago my third of three drives failed. I followed the usual steps and rebuilt the drive from parity and everything seemed fine, but I no longer have permission to write to the drive. I even tried running the 'New Permissions' script, even though this is entirely on v6.1.6. Nothing has changed on my system since the crash/rebuild, not even a Windows Update (to my knowledge). I'm running unRaid v6.1.6 Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

I'm running unRaid v6.1.6 Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 you should post your diagnostics. sounds like the filesystem has detected corruption and mounted it as read-only to prevent further corruption
February 7, 201610 yr Personally, I'd replace disk 3 as its currently showing 900+ reallocated sectors, which is far more than I'd like to see That being said, disk 3 has been mounted as read-only to prevent further corruption. If it was me, I'd replace the disk asap and let it rebuild, then run a file system check on it to repair the errors. http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Check_Disk_Filesystems
February 7, 201610 yr Author Will do; in the meantime, is there anyway for me to remove the read only limitation until I can get a new drive this week? I was musing on replacing the whole box for something more robust -- so as a side note, if anyone knows of a decently priced out-of-the-box option I'm all ears. I built this box from scratch for unRaid years back, never thinking I'd want to expand past 5TB (so naive), but I don't have the time to do so these days. Cheers!
February 7, 201610 yr You *can* run the filesystem check now to fix it and then rebuild. My reasoning in replacing the drive first is to try and prevent any further damage to the filesystem / files because of the extreme number of reallocated sectors (given the number of them, its probably only going to go up more) You should also probably set up notifications in unRaid, so that it will tell you as smart values change.
