alexrecarey Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hi everybody, thanks for taking the time to look at my question. One of the disks in my array failed, and I replaced it. The rebuild went OK, but during the course of the rebuild, the parity disk gave plenty of errors (1109). The rebuild completed successfully, and all my disks are green now. However, the syslog is full of errors, and I don't know if I lost data. Is there any way to know? I'm attaching the syslog in case that helps. I assume I should also change the parity disk ASAP as it seems its about to fail? Thanks! syslog.txt Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Parity disk appears to be failing, and because of the read errors during the rebuild there will likely be some corruption on the rebuilt disk, unless by luck there was no data in those sectors. Quote Link to comment
alexrecarey Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Thanks for the answer. Do you know of any way to check the files on the rebuilt disk and see if they are OK? I seem to remember some filesystems have data corruption safeguards? Quote Link to comment

Only if you had previously created checksums for all files, or have the same files in for example a backup server, or were using btrfs. Quote Link to comment
alexrecarey Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 OK, I thought as much, thanks! I haven't been keeping up with the new developments (my system has been rock solid forever), but having BTRF availability for this sort of thing seems interesting! I'll take a look. Thanks again for the replies. Quote Link to comment
