Tuumke Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Errors were a disk problem, it appears to be failing, you can confirm with an extended SMART test. Quote Link to comment

Tuumke Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Still running?! self-test in progress, 30% complete Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It should take 6 or 7 Hours, if there's no disk activity. Quote Link to comment

Still ongoing with SMART extended self-test. It's the parity disk but i think it's going to need replacement if it takes this long =/ Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
Tuumke Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) 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, 2019 by Tuumke Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment
