Bad block on MyBook World Edition

Hi,

 

I've a bad block on my WD MyBook World Edition (white light, single drive, FW 01.01.18) since Saturday morning. I'm monitoring this drive with Nagios3 and got a 'Sectors pending re-allocation'-warning. Log and 'Drive status' in the web-access doesn't show any error.

 

Here is the output of smartctl:

$ smartctl -d ata -t long /dev/sda
...

$ smartctl -d ata -l selftest /dev/sda

I know how to fix this on a normal drive with ext2/3 (e.g. like this) but how to deal with the pseudo software-raid (/dev/mdX) and xfs? Does someone has a hint for me please?

$ mount
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
/dev/md2 on /DataVolume type xfs (rw,usrquota)
/dev/md4 on /ExtendVolume type xfs (rw,usrquota)

 

 

PS: I already posted this in MBWE board. But got the advise to ask here.

Re: Bad block on MyBook World Edition

I believe the format of the internal HDDs in the MBW drives is ext3. You might try to connect the internal hard drives directly to the computer and try to fix it from there.

Re: Bad block on MyBook World Edition

No. There is a raid-fs on the drive. Inside the raid there is xfs. I believe this is because you can have this NAS with two drives witch comes with the same firmware. So they put the sw-raid also on the single-drive and don't need to support two different firmwares.

Problem is that I don't have any SATA hardware except a netbook. All my computers are a bit old and just come with IDE and SCSI. But I think this must be fixable via ssh if I only would know how to identify the inode of this block inside the raid.
