riggs Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi all! I've been using unRAID for a couple of years now with zero issues. I've just bought a new drive as I was running out of space. Ran a preclear (1 cycle) which passed, so I added the drive to the array. It's just attempted it's weekly parity check which failed (aborted) and the new drive is now listed as Faulty. Thing is, I've never had any problems before so I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do here. unRAID is telling me there's a Current Pending Sector. I've attached the SMART report if someone could shed some light on what it all means. WDC_WD30EFRX-68EUZN0_WD-WCC4N5AZ2USX-20180612-0252.txt Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 You need to replace that disk: https://lime-technology.com/wiki/Replacing_a_Data_Drive 1 Quote Link to comment
riggs Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Wow, ok, RMA time then. Luckily it's Amazon and I've had good experiences with RMAing stuff with them. Quote Link to comment
riggs Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Finally got a replacement drive (attempt 3, the second one was 2nd hand with 29000 hours on the clock!). Just started a preclear. Couple more questions; 1. How long (roughly) would a rebuild take? All 5 drives are 3TB, 3 of which are about 95% full and the drive that failed only had about 8GB of data on it. 2. If it's going to be a lengthy rebuild process is there any way to skip it and not recover the data? I'm not bothered about the files that were lost... Thanks. Quote Link to comment

About the same as a parity check 2 hours ago, riggs said: If it's going to be a lengthy rebuild process is there any way to skip it and not recover the data?
