200k Sync Errors Corrected Help

[Cartierusm]

Ok I restarted. Then used binhex krusader to transfer files from disk3. This morning I had a "Unraid Parity Disk SMART Health [199]:04-04-2021 20:48 Warning [Tower] - udma crc error is 68 WDC-yada yada yada" this is parity disk 1.

 

So what does that mean after doing all those parity checks. Is the drive no bueno?

 

Also included the diag file.

Those are just CRC errors, they indicate a connection problem instead of a disk problem. You can acknowledge those by clicking on it in the Dashboard. It will warn you again if those increase.

 

And syslog is showing those again

and more like that.

 

And an increased count from before so might be worthwhile to check those connections. Power and SATA, both ends, including splitters. Change SATA cable if you have a spare.

Ok thanks.

Ok I hate to be that guy, but what's the best way to take that disk 3 and reformat it so that my system/parity is intact when I'm done? I read the wiki, but seems like every time I do something there's 50 ways to do it.

Parity is updated for all writes, including formatting to a new file system. I'd copy the data instead of moving it, much faster, and you can verify the copy is complete and intact before you format the drive.

 

Unraid parity is realtime. Any write operation to a data disk in the parity array updates parity at the same time. Format writes an empty filesystem to the disk. That write operation is treated just like any other with parity being updated at the same time.

 

Just in case you didn't get it, once you format that disk any data it had on it is gone. Did you copy it elsewhere?

Got it. Thanks. Yes copied everything.

Reformatting a drive is covered here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘manual’ link at the bottom of the unRaid webGUI.

Thanks. Already completed!! We're up and running again. Also, I switched the bay that parity was in and so far so more crc errors.
