I had an alert from my NAS at lunchtime. One of the drives in a mirrored RAID array had tripped a "bad sector" trigger on the SMART monitoring.
It is continuing to work, dependent on the non-failing disk mirrored data.
Given my monthly hardware scan of the disk had just started, I don't think the alert was a coincidence.
In theory, I can just power off, remove the failing drive and replace it with one of the same or greater capacity, power back on and it will repopulate the new disk.
In practice, it's been running 16 hours a day for 6½ years, and I can't easily source a like-for-like replacement (as in all mirroring, the recommendation, though not an absolute requirement, is to use "identical" drives), I'll be replacing both drives (protecting agains similar failure on the second).
It's a bit more complicated to do that, made more so by the fact that I can buy bigger capacity drives (on offer) than the same-sized units. The process of resizing is, however, supposedly "built in" to the NAS OS, so we'll see.
Dependent on the arrival time of the replacement drives, that looks like much of tomorrow and/or Friday gone! (rebuilding a 4TB mirror effectively twice takes a good amount of elapsed time).
