RAID Rebuild Failure
I have a PE 2650 using RAID 5 and I've run into an problem: Drive 0 failed. No big deal, we have spares. After replacing the drive, the system started to rebuild. Unfortunately, it gets about 80% finished and the rebuild fails and starts over. After looking through the event logs, it looks like drive 4 is causing the problem. I get the following messages:
Warning: \Device\AFA0 : ID(0:04:0); Error Event [command:0x28]
Warning: \Device\AFA0 : ID(0:04:0); Medium Error [k:0x3,c:0x11,q:0x2]
Warning: \Device\AFA0 : ID(0:04:0); Error Too Long To Correct
Error: \Device\AFA0 : Container 0 failed REBUILD task: I/O error - drive
Error: \Device\AFA0 : 0:4:0 failed
I'm not sure what to do here to keep from losing data. Normally I'd just replace the drive with the errors (4?), but the system is currently rebuilding drive 0, so I can't remove drive 4. I can pull drive 0 out again, but what should I use to try to repair the errors on drive 4 before I let it try to rebuild again?
Thanks,
Grant

So there's no utility like chkdsk for an individual RAID drive that will check for and repair bad sectors? :smileysad:

Thanks. I was able to go into the controller BIOS and run a media check on the drive. It found two errors and corrected them. After that, the rebuild was successful.
Thanks to everyone who offered advice.
