[CentOS] WD RE4-GP Dropped From Raid
Did you check if you already have the G05 firmware on all RE4-GP? The G04 firmware is not suitable for RAID. http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=182t=25057 GS -- Gerhard Schneider Institute of Lightweight Design and e-Mail: g...@ilsb.tuwien.ac.at Structural Biomechanics (E317) Tel.: +43 664 60 588 3171 Vienna University of Technology / Austria Fax:+43 1 58801 31799 A-1040 Wien, Gusshausstrasse 27-29 http://www.ilsb.tuwien.ac.at/~gs/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] WD RE4-GP Dropped From Raid
Hi All, I have a WD RE4-GP which dropped an Adaptec 51645 RAID controller. I ran a smartctl short test on the drive and it failed with a read error. So I ran the Western Digital's own diagnostic software (DLGDIAG), both the short and extended test on the drive and it passed with no errors. So I ran the smartctl short test again and again it failed. I then ran smartctl long test and that also failed at the same logical block address as the short test. Can anyone shed any light on this? Can I RMA the drive even if it passes Western Digital's own tests? Thanks in advance for any advice.

They usually will send you a rebuilt equivalent drive. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

WD will send you a new one if it's an enterprise drive. No questions asked. I've done this many a time.

If it doesn't change, I wouldn't worry; if it does, have it replaced. mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
