December 26, 201015 yr I shutdown the Tower to add 2 more hard drives and now when I brought it back up disk 4 said it was DISK_DSBL. I have attached the syslog. Please let me know why this would be. What do I do? I do not want to lose any data. Thx syslog.txt

What do I do? I do not want to lose any data. Thx Most likely reason "You dislodged a cable to disk4 while installing the others"
December 26, 201015 yr Author I did shutdown after that and check and reseated all cables but it still shows DISK_DSBL Do I need to do anything special to get it back to normal? Just want to be safe here since I have 9 drives in there now. Thx

Just want to be safe here since I have 9 drives in there now. Thx Yes. It was disabled because a "write" to it failed. If it was just a loose cable you can (after fixing the cabling) 1. Stop the array 2. un-assign the failed drive 3. Start the array with the drive un-assigned (this will cause it to forget the model/serial number of the drive) 4. Stop the array once more 5. Re-assign the failed drive 6. Start the array once more. It will re-construct the drive onto itself. When the re-constructions is complete you will be protected from another disk failure once more.

December 26, 201015 yr Author Thx Joe. I have done what you said. It is rebuilding now. Hopefull everything is good once it is done
December 27, 201015 yr Author Can other disks in the array be accessed while it is rebuilding disk4 in order to watch a movie?
December 27, 201015 yr Can other disks in the array be accessed while it is rebuilding disk4 in order to watch a movie? yes. In fact, you can even access disk4 to watch a movie on it. Either will slow down the re-construction some, but once a long time ago I did an experiment where I played 4 different ISO images from the "simulated" drive while it was being re-constructed. unRAID handled it. I only had about 4 or 5 disks back then, but I'm on a PCI based motherboard and bandwidth to the disks is limited by the PCI bus.
