Disabled Drive


Recommended Posts

So I just rebooted that server.  Was doing some searching and found this:

 

Normally, you would replace the hard drive of a disabled disk; however, you can try to re-enable a disabled disk as follows:

Stop the array.

Power down the unit.

Physically remove the failed disk, leaving the slot empty.

Power up the unit.

Start the array.

Stop the array.

Power down the unit.

Re-install your failed disk.

Power up the unit.

Start the array.

 

Is this the proper procedure I am supposed to follow after changing the cable?

Even simpler instead of physically removing and reinstalling the drive is:

  • Stop the array
  • Set the disk to Unassigned
  • Start the array to make Unraid 'forget' the assignment
  • Stop the array
  • Assign the disk back to its slot
  • Start the array

Ok thanks.  It seems to be rebuilding now.  Would you mind taking a look at my diagnostics. There were two I'm not familar with "Seek Time performance" and "Throughput performance" .  Is this a failed drive?

Ok so the reallocated sectors just went up to 2.  I am going to send the drive back and get a replacement.  Should I let the rebuild carry on until the replacement gets here? Or stop it now?  I dont really care about any data on it as it was only in for a day or two.  I dont like leaving my array unprotected .

 

Drive is upto 4 sectors now.  Speed is 1.4MB/sec.  Can I just cancel now and put replacement in tomorrow or new config and rebuild my parity?
