Hi guys,
I'm running 4.7.
I've had a 8 x 2TB drives and one 2TB parity for a while now. I had one other 2TB pre-cleared 3 times ready for use.
Our next child was due this week so I thought I would do the last bit of work on the server and fit the 5in3 bay caddy I had so it was all finished. I also added the precleared drive to the array because I was running out of space.
Strange thing was it didn't see the new disk (sde) as cleared. My only option was to clear it via the GUI so I did.
After it was added to the array I did a parity check and got 488371093 sync errors!!
I ran it again and got 16 errors. Ran it again and got 4. Did a powerdown, checked all cables, started up and ran it again and got 20 errors.
Syslog is attached.
I'm not sure if the new drive and the sync issues are related but i would imagine they are.
The baby was born yesterday and will take up most of my time but I could also do with getting to the bottom of these sync errors. If anyone could help me whats wrong or what to do next that would be great.
Thanks
I'm not sure if running it a few times was the wrong thing to do or not.
