Homelab Hero · No. 001

One incident. Three calls.

Saturday, 9:04 AM. Coffee in hand, you open the NAS dashboard: the pool is DEGRADED — drive 3 dropped out overnight. SMART on the drive says PASSED, and the pool still reads and writes fine.

Your call:

A. Reseat drive 3 and start the resilver — probably a loose cable

B. Read the logs, confirm last night's backup finished, get a replacement coming

C. Silence the alert and run a scrub — SMART says the drive is fine

100 Hero Points for the right call. From Issue No. 001 of The Homelab Herald. Scores save to the board — your hero card.
