brantje Posted February 15, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2016 Hi all, 1 of my 4 disks just crashed, i can't get any info, no status, no smart, nothing. I quickly made an backup to an external server. Is there a way to test if the disk is really dead? Or if it just was a hick-up? Shall i shutdown Xpenology until the new disk arrives? Ty in advance.

sbv3000 Posted February 15, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 15, 2016 I had a similar situation recently which I think was a loose SATA data or power lead and the disk dropped off the controller and crashed the volume. I removed the disk, ran it through hdat2, which said it was ok. I deleted the DSM partitions using a Windows PC, reinstalled the disk and let the raid rebuild and it was ok. You could just try a reboot first and make sure the disk is 'seen' in the BIOS, if yes then use DSM and run an extended smart test before you rebuild the array. System logs might also tell you if there was a disk i/o problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brantje Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted February 15, 2016 Hdat2 is a utility for ubuntu? Thanks for the suggestions, will take a look when I get back home. Posted via MyXpenology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brantje Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted February 17, 2016 With smartctl I was able to read the health info, which was fine. Next I deleted all the partitions on the disk using gParted. Put drive back in and my NAS is happy again. Posted via MyXpenology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
