Disk in trouble?
Just spotted this in my user.log file: Dec 16 01:57:54 NETGEAR_NAS RAIDiator: Detected increasing reallocated sector count on disk 1 [-1, 0] Dec 16 01:57:54 NETGEAR_NAS RAIDiator: Reallocation e...

Some of the fields are vendor-specific and w/o knowing the formatting are hard to interpret. But still some of the seagate stats look off (for instance a spin-up time of zero).
However, I think what might be happening in the logs is that the SMART query is failing (I believe the -1 is what the system returns on if the query times out).
Perhaps test it with seatools in a PC, and look at the stats there.
FWIW, the ST3000DM001 isn't the best choice for RAID - generally it is reported to have a high failure rate. Backblaze actually removed them from their disk arrays ( https://www.backblaze.com/blog/3tb-hard-drive-failure/ ). Seagate IronWolf drives or Western Digital Reds are better choices.

mdstat.log looks like this:

I assume the file disk_smart_2016_12_11.log is the one you want:

Thanks StephenB I'll give that a try. I've got Seagate Tools on my PC. I hope it's not failing, I'm the skintest I've ever been and a replacement is out of the question for the forseeable.
Thanks again for your help.

Check the Seagate warranty validity on the drive on their website...... it's normally 2-3 years
