May 15, 20179 yr Hey, New to unRAID, had a lot of fun in the last 48 hours. Was keep telling me, this is a game changer and then....boom Let's rewind: I took a bunch of HDD that I've been using for a while (with no priors issues), put them together, very patiently transferred all the data in the Array (cache disabled and no parity) Earlier today, I was happy, everything was consolidated and green/smart everywhere. Time to create the parity disk and call it a day ! And then few hours after (in the middle of the parity process) one of my disk "exploded" with millions of reads errors (according to the main tabs). I can't access anything thru the shares folders (not even the content on the other HDDs, everything show-up empty). Don't know what to do....the parity check is still going....should I stop the array ? Start mourning my data ? Thanks for your help and advice (make it easily understandable please, I'm new to all this) Config: M/B: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. - Z87-A CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz HVM: Enabled IOMMU: Enabled Cache: 256 kB, 1024 kB, 6144 kB Memory: 24 GB (max. installable capacity 32 GB) Network: bond0: fault-tolerance (active-backup), mtu 1500 eth0: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 Kernel: Linux 4.9.19-unRAID x86_64 nas-diagnostics-20170515-1341.zip
May 15, 20179 yr Community Expert Disk1 dropped offline, cancel parity sync, powerdown, check/replace cables, power back up and grab new diags so we can see its SMART report.
May 15, 20179 yr Author Thanks for answering so quickly ! Did what you asked, launched a "SMART extended self-test" on the dive but after few minutes I got an error message saying I should check the report. (Attached) ST3000DM001-1E6166_Z1F2E2K5-20170515-1434.txt

Should I try to re-launch the array and see what I can salvage (if any) from the one that went offline ? Note: I had a lot of data backed on ACD unlimited with ARQ but not everything so I still lost some stuffs (stupid me for not being organised enough)
May 15, 20179 yr Community Expert Yeah that disk is a gonner: 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 097 091 000 Old_age Always - 648 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 097 091 000 Old_age Offline - 648 You should still be able to copy some/most data from it, unassign the parity disk, start the array and copy everything you can from that disk to other array disk or another computer. Star by copying the most important data, if disk goes offline, reboot and try to copy different files. Edited May 15, 20179 yr by johnnie.black
May 15, 20179 yr Author Thanks a lot for your help. Truly an awesome community...people weren't lying ! Going to buy some HDDs, salvage everything I can and restart from scratch.
May 15, 20179 yr Not pretty, but agree with Johnnie's advice. You should be able to copy all or most of the data from this drive with some effort. I do notice that the drive has been operated at a high temperature in the past. Do you best to keep it cool while doing your copying. Copy most valuable data first. Good luck!
May 16, 20179 yr Author Update: I've been able to move almost everything from the failing disk, it's still in progress - should be done in a bunch of hours- but so far everything has been working with no hiccups and all the most critical data is safe already so it's possible I achieve 100% data retrieval ! I'm also moving all the data from the other ST3000DM001 (still healthy but for how long ?) and will be replacing both with some brand new WD RED. Again thanks everyone for your help ! PS: for the temperature, yes it's now in a 19" rackcase with some 120mm fan directly blowing at them.
