HD disabled and cannot run SMART

One of my disks just disabled. Not clear to me whether this is an actual HD error or "just" again cabling (which I used to have historically quite a bit).

 

The issue appears to be new / different this time though. I cannot run a SMART test as it says that the disk needs to spin up.

 

Log pre-restart below

I did the restart of Unraid and it now runs an extended smart (the short one was fine). I'll post a new log after extended SMART, but would also be good to know if you see anything in the pre-restart log posted above.

No, because the disk dropped offline so there's no SMART report, and all 3 syslog files are spammed with messages similar to this:

It looks as though you need to check your user share settings. It looks as though you have the Minimum free space parameter set too low. Increase it to be larger than the largest file you expect to write to your array. Otherwise it will keep trying to write files to your almost completely full disk and failing instead of moving on to the next one.

Got it. Let me increase the minimum free space.

 

Assuming the extended SMART completes without errors, what would be the better way to setup the array. Just reconfig again or rebuild the same disk via parity (which falsely got disabled)?

Rebuilding to the same disk can be riskier if another disk fails during the rebuild, not so much risk with dual parity, but always check that the contents on the emulated disk look correct before rebuilding, doing a new config also has risks since the array will be unprotected until the sync finishes and it's only an option if you're sure nothing was written to the emulated disk (or doen't mind losing that data).

 

Best option would be rebuilding to a new disk, closely followed by rebuilding to the same if you have dual parity.

thanks. extended smart was fine. i’m now doing a new config.

could the “user share issue” have caused the disabling of the disk?

No.   Thar can only result in you losing data because files end up being zero length.
