Hey there,

 

yesterday I decided to upgrade my 2 TB HDD to a 4 TB HDD.

Before doing so, I backed up everything, ran a parity check and all was fine (0 errors).

Not too long ago, I did an extended SMART test for the parity disk. Again, everything was fine.

After swapping the discs, the rebuild speed was >100 MB/s.

When I woke up, there were quite some emails with "unRAID Status: Warning [UNRAID] - current pending sector is xxx" and the rebuild process slowed down to < 1MB/s.

A few hours later, the rebuild finished with 85848 errors.

The parity disk now has 337 current pending sectors ( 0 Reallocated sector count).

 

I already ordered a new HDD to replace the parity disk.

 

Now my questions:

What is the best way to get a perfectly running system again?

Can I even trust the data that was written during the rebuild or should I erase the whole disc and copy all data from my backup?

When I replace the parity disc, do I have to create a new config to rebuild the parity?

 

unRAID version: 6.6.5

diagnostic file is attached

 

Thank you very much in advance!

Cheers,
Nico

Rebuilt disk will have some corrupt data, best way forward would be to put the old disk back, also a new parity disk, do a new config and resync parity.

Thank you very much for the quick reply! The new HDD should arrive tomorrow. I will update the thread then.
