Hey guys, just built an i5-8400 16gb server.  Was able to transfer over all my data and rebuild parity.  When i looked at it in the morning, it said unhealthy status in red under the notifications.   How do I go about figuring out the problem?  I know i had a disk or 2 that gave some errors before but I acknowledged it and haven't seen it again, i have since changed all the SATA cables.   Anyone able to help me figure out if I have some disk problems or something else.  Will buy a few disks to make it right if i have to.

I would post your diagnostics, we are in the dark about what is going on until you do that.

just at work, trying to figure out how to get it from home  

ok, was able to VPN into my sons computer and grab it..  could anyone let me know if anything stands out?   just built this server yesterday.

Everything looks normal to me, check the time of the notification, it's normal to get an array not healthy notification while the parity is syncing, next array status notifications should be healthy array .

thanks Johnnie, I did reboot after i got the error, not sure if that cleared it out.  i noticed a bunch of CRC errors to some of my hard drives but i had the cables zap strapped together and read that was a problem so i untied them.

You need to dismiss/archive the notification, even after rebooting.

Acknowledge current values on the dashboard page, if they keep increasing you'll get a new notification meaning there's still a problem, usually cable related.

hey Johnnie, thanks for the response man..  So in your opinion, my hard drives are all fine?    I am building a backup unraid server with my Plus licence, if there were 2 drives to replace, are two any worse than others?  

All drives look fine, disk1 shows some UNC errors but they happened a very long time ago @ 50 power on hours, it has 10000 now, still this would be the one to replace, all the others look fine, some have CRC errors including one with many thousand, but that's not a disk problem.

sounds good, thanks for looking into that for me, appreciate it.. 

building a second unraid box for backup with my plus licence.  Would that drive be ok for that or is it time to take the hammer to it?

Yes, just keep an eye on  on this attribute:

 

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAGS    VALUE WORST THRESH FAIL RAW_VALUE
  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate     POSR-K   200   200   051    -    80

Ideally this would be zero, or at least low double digits, but it might be old errors and as long as it remains stable it should be fine.

thanks man.. will take it out of my main server,  move it to my backup server.
