Leonidan99 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I have had a problem for a while now where every little while I'll notice a drive will start to produce errors, a smart check doesn't show any problem with the drive but eventually the errors will start to exponentially increase and other drives will also start getting errors. A couple times I thought it was just a problem drive that was causing it but I removed that drive and it would work again for a while until it would start to happen again. It just happened a again the other day to a drive that I didn't have media on so I removed it from the array temporarily and today another drive that I recently put in started getting millions of errors. Fix Common Problems shows my /Var/Log as being 100% full. I'm not sure what could be causing all of this but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on where to start. I supplied my Diagnostics here. Thanks for the help! superserver-diagnostics-20210803-1346.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Disk dropped offline, this is usually a connection/power problem, but since it's offline there's no SMART report to check. Quote Link to comment
Leonidan99 Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Ok, so you think the issue that keeps happening is because a disk or disks are losing connection and causing the errors because of that? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I can only speak for this one, but yes, if healthy disks keep dropping it's most likely a connection/power problem. Quote Link to comment
Leonidan99 Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Thank you. It makes sense that it would be some sort of connection issue. I am looking into that. I appreciate you taking the time to look at the diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
