January 16, 20197 yr Hey guys, I'm getting disk erros on my parity disk. All disks i have a pretty old by now and have ben running a long time. I'm suspecting they will need to be replaced in the near future, but i hope there is another way to fix these errors? Running on v6.6.6 Attached smart report from the disk with errors. nas-smart-20190116-0808.zip
January 16, 20197 yr Community Expert Errors were a disk problem, it appears to be failing, you can confirm with an extended SMART test.

January 19, 20197 yr Community Expert That's an extremely long time, is the disk being heavily used other than the SMART test? If not might as well replace the disk now.
January 21, 20197 yr Author Ordered a new disk. Should arrive todat. Is it correct that replacing a parity disk is still this: https://wiki.unraid.net/The_parity_swap_procedure 1. Stop the array (if it's started) 2. Unassign the old drive (if it's still assigned) 3. Start the array (put a check in the Yes I want to do this checkbox if it appears (older versions: Yes, I'm sure)) 4. Stop the array again 5. Power down 6. [ Optional ] Pull the old drive 7. Install the new drive 8. Power on 9. Stop the array 10. Unassign the parity drive 11. Assign the new drive in the parity slot 12. Assign the old parity drive in the slot of the old data drive being replaced 13. Go to the Main -> Array Operation section 14. Put a check in the Yes I want to do this checkbox (older versions: Yes, I'm sure), and click the Copy button 15. Put a check in the Yes I want to do this checkbox (older versions: Yes, I'm sure), and click the Start button Edited January 21, 20197 yr by Tuumke
January 21, 20197 yr If you just want to replace the parity disk, it is much simpler Power down the system Replace the existing parity disk with the new disk Start the system On the Main page: assign the new disk as parity Start the array and let the parity rebuild
