Marauder Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 One of my drives under the Main tab has a Red X and says drive is disabled, contents emulated. When i click on the drive through it says mounted and my SMART status is PASSED. I didn't make any configuration changes when this happened. I simply did a safe shutdown, then booted the server back up and the drive went into this state. I don't know how to get it out and back into normal state. I thought the drive had failed as it is old, but as the SMART scan is passed, I'm confused. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Diagnostics would be a boon. But what happened is that a write to the drive failed. Because of that, the drive was disabled, and all writes / reads from it are now emulated using the contents of the other drives + parity drives. To get it back, you need to Stop the array Unassign the drive start the array Stop the array Reassign the drive unRaid will now rebuild the contents from the emulated drive back to the disabled drive.

Marauder Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Thanks, I'll do those steps to add the drive back in. The drives old, as are most of my drives. Quote Link to comment

I hope that's not the case as it's a brandnew sas breakout cable. Might just be a lose connection as this happened after I moved the server. Quote Link to comment

It's also a possibility, after checking connections keep monitoring that attribute, if it keeps increasing there's still a problem. Quote Link to comment
