June 5, 20188 yr Hello guys, Was surfing on youtube, when i suddently got an notification on prowl about my array, and went straight into the Main dashboard on the server. And my drive (Disk 1) had and red cross on it and said content was being emulated. This happend while I was downloading updates from stream, so I know their has been written data to the location after the disk went "offline" - I tried following the troubleshoot guide on the wiki here - but the disk don't show up in the dropdown menu at all. Only my 1.5 TB unassigned HDD. But is show as listed under the unassigned devices. Have tried to run the smart test command listed above in the wiki, but with no luck. What should I do? It's the Disk 1 (sde) ST4000DM004-2CV104_ZFN06CX6 Best regards, and thanks for the help! tower-diagnostics-20180605-1843.zip Edited June 5, 20188 yr by Brydezen
June 5, 20188 yr Author Was thinking about maybe moving all the data to disk 2 - and maybe shutdown the server after, and try and change the cables? But don't really know what else to do. So hope some smart people in here could give me a helping hand ?
June 5, 20188 yr Community Expert Disk dropped offline, power down, check connections, power back up and post new diags.
June 5, 20188 yr Author Even tho I have removed the disk from the array, so it says no disk installed? Have even power on the array again after removing it. As this is pretty much been my main machine for the past months now
June 5, 20188 yr Community Expert Don't understand what you're asking, disk drooped offline, so there's no SMART.
June 5, 20188 yr Author Right now it looks like this: gyazo img link - Is it then still safe to just reboot the server?

June 5, 20188 yr Author Have rebooted now, and the diagnostics does show some SMART reports now. tower-diagnostics-20180605-2032.zip
June 6, 20188 yr Community Expert Disk1 is still missing, did you check connections? If yes it might be dead.
June 6, 20188 yr Author I just unplugged and put all the dics back in again (didnt change any cables) and now it came online and threw me a SMART report. Here are the new diagnostics. Thank you for your patience! tower-diagnostics-20180606-0958.zip Edited June 6, 20188 yr by Brydezen wrong information lol.
June 6, 20188 yr Author To my eyes the smart report don't seem to show anything bad. But i'm not that good at at reading them either lol. Maybe it was just my controller taking a little dump or something. But have this happend before. Is it because the other disks power down while one is still running / getting data from steam downloads? Have all the steam data on Disk 1.. Is it better if I use the unbalance plugin to scatter the folders across the other disk also? Or does that even give me and better performance when reading files from large games? Best regards!

June 6, 20188 yr Author Will try to find a other sata cable then. So I can safely just stop they array, add the disk back in, and start it again. And it should rebuild the array for me, right? ? Thanks for the quick responses!
