Hi everyone,

 

I'm running a brand new install of unRAID 6.8.3 on my existing hardware, a HP Microserver Gen8 with 2 x 3TB drives around 5 years old.

 

The initial parity check showed 600+ errors.  I subsequently ran a correctional parity check which completed earlier and found 347 errors.

 

Should I be concerned?  SMART status shows as healthy.

 

I've attached the diagnostics.

 

Thanks!

Disk1 had a bunch of read errors, it looks like a disk problem, you can run an extended SMART test to confirm.

Thanks.  I've just tried running the extended test and it gives the error "Errors occurred - Check SMART report".

 

Short self-test passes.

 

I've had a look at the SMART report (attached) but I don't really know what I'm looking for.  Any ideas?

The part that reads

SMART Extended Self-test Log Version: 1 (1 sectors)
Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Extended offline    Completed: read failure       90%      8515         22306624
# 2  Extended offline    Completed: read failure       90%      8515         22306624
# 3  Short offline       Completed without error       00%      8515         -
# 4  Short offline       Completed without error       00%      8460         -

shows that the disk is failing the extended SMART test and should probably be replaced.

Thank you very much.  Not great news as I am 1000s of miles away from the server but at least I don’t have any important data on there!
