HDD failure
Always a pain, but at least with my FreeNAS set-up, it’s never too much of a worry knowing I can tolerate 2 failed drives without any loss of data, whilst also having the safety net of a full local backup.
To be honest, the drive in question hadn’t actually failed but had reported SMART errors for a month or so. It started with just 8 unrecoverable sectors, which I tend to ignore for a short time. Only when it jumps above 8 do I take action, which it did yesterday.
