Morpheus Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Hello all, I checked on my server today, and found that the parity disc has been disabled with 2048 errors. Can someone please look at my diagnostics file and tell me if I need to replace my parity disc, or if there is some other problem? Thanks, Matt tower-diagnostics-20200315-1948.zip Edited March 19, 2020 by Morpheus Marked as Solved Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The parity disk appears to have dropped offline so there is no SMART information for it in the diagnostics to give a view of its health. Prior to that numerous read and write errors were showing up in the syslog with no obvious reason for their cause. You may need to power cycle the server to see if the disk comes back online. If it does then post new diagnostics to see what they then show. Quote Link to comment
Morpheus Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Thanks for looking. I did a system restart, here are the diagnostics after the system came back up. The parity disk still has a red X. tower-diagnostics-20200316-2146.zip Edit : I just re-read your post. Since the parity disc is still offline I don't think that the diagnostics will help.

itimpi Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Actually, the new diagnostics show that the parity disk IS now online and from the SMART report it looks to be healthy. You could try running an extended SMART test on it to be sure. Unraid will leave a disk marked as disabled (I.e. marked with a red ‘x’) until you take a positive recovery action. The steps to do this are covered In the Replacing a Disk section of the online section. In particular the part for re-enabling a drive currently marked as disabled that you want to re-enable. 1 Quote Link to comment
Morpheus Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 I removed and re-added the disk. It completed a parity check, and the smart report shows no errors. Thank you very much for your help. 🙂 Quote Link to comment
