SidebandSamurai Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I am troubleshooting an unraid system for a friend. Drive 4 is showing Faulty. Why? it is showing good SMART indicators and it feels like it spins up. I have placed this in a linux system and was able to successfully mount the file system. Attached is a picture of the Dashboard Yes I do have other drives showing problems. but I need to tackle one problem at a time. Thanks for your help Sincerely, Sideband Samurai Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Disk got disabled, doesn't mean it's bad, it could for example be a cable/connection issue, please post your diagnostics: Tools -> Diagnostics Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Also, last parity check 200 days ago no bueno. Quote Link to comment
SidebandSamurai Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Diagnostics is a good suggestion, thank you. I don't think its a cable as I have replaced the cable from the one on the motherboard to one on the HBA tv-diagnostics-20181004-1814.zip Quote Link to comment
SidebandSamurai Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I have successfully upgraded from 6.3.5 to 6.6.1. updated all the plugins and other stuff related to the UnRaid OS Quote Link to comment
SidebandSamurai Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I am wondering if I should do a parity check now or troubleshoot this issue first. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Diags are after rebooting, so can't see what happened when the disk was disabled, but there are already 696 reallocated sectors, worrying especially for such a new disk, prudent way to go would be to replace it. Quote Link to comment
SidebandSamurai Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 The Disk was disabled immediately after reboot. If that helps any. Quote Link to comment

Not really, only if you had those diags, but due to the high number reallocated sectors it was likely a disk problem. Quote Link to comment
SidebandSamurai Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 reallocated sectors, where did you see that? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The SMART reports show that you have 2 disks with a large number of reallocated sectors. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for this, unfortunately this is a server I am fixing for a friend. I helped him set this up and he started having issues. It sits in my closet until he can get replacement drives to repair the array. Quote Link to comment
