RAID 5 drive missing - Troubleshooting tips?

  • I set up OMV yesterday with a RAID 5 made from 3 drives (sdb, sdc, and sdd). Today I started getting emails saying "A DegradedArray event had been detected on md device /dev/md0." It looks like sdb is offline or something. In the web GUI, under "Disks", all the drives are listed. But under "S.M.A.R.T." > "Devices", the status circle is greyed out for sdb. Under "RAID Management", sdb is no longer listed as one of the devices.


    Back under SMART > Extended information, I see:



    smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-4.14.0-0.bpo.3-amd64] (local build)
    Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, http://www.smartmontools.org



    Short INQUIRY response, skip product id
    A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.



    Any suggestions for what my next steps should be? Do I just assume the drive is bad and replace it, or are there other troubleshooting things I can do?

  • Update: I replaced the SATA cable and I can see the drive in OMV now and get SMART info, etc. It's still not part of the RAID, though. Under RAID Management I see a greyed-out "Grow" button and a "Recover" button. With my RAID selected, I click "Recover", but I'm not really able to do anything. "Name" and "Level" are filled in, but greyed-out. Under "Devices" it looks like I'm suppose to select a disk to add, but there are no devices listed.
