Hello there. I have Unraid Version 6.3.5 installed. I recently had a few messages come up about disk 6 - Current Pending Sector & Offline Uncorrectable. I think it's probably time to retire this old Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB drive, but I was hoping someone would be able to confirm.

 

Here is the SMART extended self test report:

Thanks for any help you might offer.

It is, pending sectors and a failed extended SMART test.

Thanks johnnie. Now I'm worried about my parity drive. My server ran a parity check today, and I started getting error messages emailed to me about the parity drive:

 

Event: unRAID Parity disk SMART health [187]
Subject: Warning [UNRAID] - reported uncorrect is 22
Description: ST4000DM000-1F2168_Z304HPH7 (sdb)
Importance: warning

 

Event: unRAID array errors
Subject: Warning [UNRAID] - array has errors
Description: Array has 2 disks with read errors
Importance: warning

Parity disk - ST4000DM000-1F2168_Z304HPH7 (sdb) (errors 720)
Disk 6 - ST32000542AS_5XW1PN37 (sdi) (errors 336)

 

 The parity check itself passed with no errors at all. Is this normal when a data disk in the array is failing, for the parity disk to also have errors? I just ran a SMART short self test on the parity disk, and it completed without errors:

I'm running a SMART extended self test now, but should I be worried? I have a replacement disk ready to go for the failing disk 6, but I'm thinking I should wait to make sure the parity disk is good before I replace disk 6?

 

Thanks,

Matt

Wait for the extend test but based on current SMART it will likely fail.

I think this is the extended test result:

It looks the same as the short test result, other than the addition of line 186:

 

# 1  Extended offline    Completed without error       00%     17841 

 

Can you explain what about the test results makes you think it will fail? I just don't have enough experience to know what to look for in the test results. When it says it passed, it leads me to believe the drive is good.

 

Thanks again for all your help.

Disk has several signs of problems:

 

183 Runtime_Bad_Block       0x0032   099   099   000    Old_age   Always       -       1
187 Reported_Uncorrect      0x0032   078   078   000    Old_age   Always       -       22 

But it did pass the extended SMART test so for the moment the disk is good.

Thanks for the clarification johnnie. So is it safe to go ahead and remove disk 6, and install a new 4tb disk? The parity check had zero errors.

 

Thanks,

Matt

It should be, unless there are more errors, but it's your best option and you should do it as soon as possible.
