svennand Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Soo when i checked my Unraid i got a red warning saying disk8 had failed with SMART reading. After restarting unraid it is shown as Not installed and the drive is emulated (the disc is now under unassigned devices. After some googling it seems that the concesus is that its not a bad drive but a bad connection. I have swapped out the S-ATA cable and used another s-ata port on mobo known to work earlier. Restarted unraid again but it still says disk not installed etc... Do i need to do something special for this to work? I have a lot of free space so if the disk is broken, can i move the emulated content over to the other disc and just remove that one and rebuild parity? Kinda lost at best approach etc xD fuzzyserver-diagnostics-20200313-1305.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Disk is failing to initialize, good idea to also swap/replace the power cable, if problem persists it's likely a failing disk. Quote Link to comment

Hmm i'll try to swap out the powercable but its a linked chain that supplies a bunch of disks and thats the only disk that has failed. Its a Seagate Archive disk so i might remove it anyways. But is there an easy way to "empty" the content on the emulated version over the rest of the discs and then remove it from the array? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 You'll need to copy any data from the emulated disk to other disk(s), then do a new config and re-sync parity. Quote Link to comment

You may find the Unbalance plugin to be of use when trying to empty the emulated drive. Quote Link to comment
svennand Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Started the transfer to another disk with unbalanced plugin. Gonna do a new config and resin but scary stuff since I have never done all this stuff Thanks for the tips guys Quote Link to comment

Hmm i transfered the content to another disk. Went into new config and selected preserve current assignment for everything except data. When i select discs i can select no drive on everything except disk8 which is either unassigned or the broken one. I have to admit i have no clue what im doing EDIT i forgot to check the box Edited March 15, 2020 by svennand Quote Link to comment
