December 4, 20205 yr Hello all! I've got some HDD problems and would like guidance on how to proceed. I've attached syslog and diagnostics from this morning. The situation: I have 2 drives with errors. I discovered these errors while attempting to set up Nextcloud using spaceinvaderone's YT instructions when I couldn't get nextcloud to start. I know it's unrelated to the drive failing. I have a 9TB array: 1 x 3TB parity and 3 x 3TB drives (screen: 'Array_drives'). I took the array offline and remounted in maintenance mode and am currently running Read-check which is 4.1% complete. I also have the extended SMART check running on both drives. I have ordered replacement drives (4 x 6TB WDC WD6002FRYZ) so I will replace and upgrade at the same time once they arrive next week. I'd like to know how to proceed from here? 1) Until the drives arrive, what steps do I take in preparation? 2) What steps do I take to replace and upgrade the drives? My plan is to have 2 x 6TB parity and then 12TB array (2 x 6TB) and a 2 x 3TB cash pool Thank you so much for your advice and I appreciate all you help! tower-diagnostics-20201204-0759.zip tower-syslog-20201204-1258.zip Edited December 10, 20205 yr by blakeslade
December 4, 20205 yr Community Expert Issues with multiple disks, check/replace cables on disks 2 and 3 then post new diags (after array start in normal mode).
December 4, 20205 yr Author On it. No back up cables so I'll order replacements and report back when I have new diags.
December 8, 20205 yr Author Cables replaced on disk 2 and 3! Issues with disk 3 now appear to be resolved. disk 2 is still being reported as "disabled", see screen below. I am running the Extended SMART scan on disks 2 and 3. What additional diagnostics should I run for disk 2? My new HDD's arrive this week, what steps do I follow to upgrade from my current setup? What would be an optimal set up for 4 x 6TB drives and 3 x 3TB drives (assuming disk 2 is finished)? Thanks! Edited December 8, 20205 yr by blakeslade
December 8, 20205 yr Author Did some reading (oh oh) here, https://wiki.unraid.net/Troubleshooting#Re-enable_the_drive All SMART tests have passed (took the liberty of doing parity and Disk 1). - Reallocated_Sector_Ct, Current_Pending_Sector, and UDMA_CRC_Error_Count Raw_Values are '0' So, I've followed the safe instructions to rebuild the array and am waiting for the process to complete. Thanks for your help JorgeB! tower-diagnostics-20201208-1532.zip
