I have two eSATA drives in a RAID 1, and smartd has started reporting errors on it:
Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], 9 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], 9 Offline uncorrectable sectors The first message, on June 11, was 6 sectors. I ordered a new HD and enclosure that day. It went up to 8 sectors on June 12. By June 14 I had installed the new HD and added it to the RAID as a hot spare. On June 28 it went up to 9 sectors. Given that I have the hot spare in place, do I need to do anything? Should I fail /dev/sdb with mdadm preemptively? Or just wait until it fails on its own? --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
