My good working RAID6 array is starting to act up.
It's comprised of:
- Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 2 TB drives
-Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 2 TB drives
- 1 Toshiba DT01ABA300 3 TB drive (same drive as the 5k3000 but Advanced Format type). It is replacing a broken Hitachi due to bad sectors
- One HP SAS-expander (with custom fan mounted for cooling)
- The PSU is a Silverstone Strider Plus ST60F-P (600W)
Usually, my server is fully shut down. When I boot it, the same Hitachi 5k3000 drive gets marked as missing. A few reboots usually fixes this. It's always the same drive that goes missing.
When the drive is present, a full check of the array (takes about 8 hours) completes successfully. This was not the case when the drive with bad sectors was still present (this one got replaced by the Toshiba drive). So I assume the drive which goes missing (a Hitachi 5K3000 ), is in good condition.
I'm not sure what I should do to troubleshoot this. Pehaps Odditory is still around with expert advice
Kind regards,
Jeroen
