MotherBoard Failure - Replaced - Parity Errors


Recommended Posts

First need to fix this:

 

Aug 25 21:21:13 Tower kernel: md: disk2 read error, sector=54793824
Aug 25 21:21:13 Tower kernel: md: disk2 read error, sector=54793832
Aug 25 21:21:13 Tower kernel: md: disk2 read error, sector=54793840
Aug 25 21:21:13 Tower kernel: md: disk2 read error, sector=54793848

 

Disk appears to be failing, extended SMART test will confirm.

Howdy

 

You are correct regarding the 2 disks.  A while back I upgraded some equipment and disks.  They are associated with 2 other discs but the high water setting has not started using them again.

 

If I was going to do anything with Disk 2 currently I would like to just remove it out of the system.

 

I have not seen anything in performance that I can think of to date though my response time for Plex Movies seemed to be slow last few days but figured that was the Parity Checks and SmaRT Test causing some of that...

 

Happy to provide further details

In Painic mode.....

 

Have not opened up box or changed anything yet 

 

What I started was to SMART Test disc 1 and disk 3 with the intentions of testing all my drives and posting.  These are attached though my server started a schedule parity check that I forgot to turn off :(

 

Disk 3 is spitting out a ton of Raw Read Errors 

 

I am wondering if there is something lose ;(  The 1 item I should note I do have a 5 disk 5.25" insert.  I was thinking I should emliminate this out of the system as it is old but I am 1 slot shy in my server to do that

 

Going to back things up now guess go from there

Update

 

Not sure if it was the correct approach but I had 2 disks that would allow me to back up lets say would rather not lose files but would rather not...  Crazy part is 3/4 of my data is media that falls under that category.  My do not want to ever lose I keep a external back up already

 

Order some new drives if replacement is required also as backing up files used my spares.  Like I said maybe not the best idea but still not sure what is causing all the problems

The RAW error reads have seemed to stop now that I canceled the parity check

 

General Plan at this point and hoping if I am off track that the more experienced may correct :)

1. Back up Data

2. Check Connections on every thing and run a few days.  Struggling with this as I feel there is failing hardware but maybe not

3. If problem continues change drive 3 - Hope it rebuilds - run for a few days

4. Have not went past that :) -

The SMART attributes are internal to the disks. Each disk monitors how well it is working as it is used, and records that in these attributes it keeps in its firmware. Unraid monitors some of these attributes by default and will warn you about those it monitors, but Unraid is only looking at some of them, and Unraid only reports exactly what the disk is telling it.

 

If the disk says it is failing, believe it.

This one has way too many reallocated for my comfort. And this is one of the attributes Unraid monitors by default, so it should have been telling you about it.

All bits of all other disks must be reliably read to reliably rebuild a disk, so all disks in the array are important whether they have anything on them or not.

 

You have single parity, and at least 2 disks that can't be trusted. That is one more untrustworthy disks than you have parity. If you try to replace/rebuild one of these, the other may make the rebuild unreliable or impossible.

 

Copying important data off the array is probably the first priority.

 

Do any of your other disks show SMART warnings on the Dashboard page?

Still, that disk does have an attribute (3, spin up time, not usually monitored) with something in the FAIL column. And it has a pending sector. And it is over 5 years old. And you are having problems caused by the disk.

 

I think I would retire it.

Forgot about that one. So that is at least 3 unreliable disks in your array. How did you let things get this bad?

Well arent I in a mess

 

I wasnt having any problems up to the power outage knocking my MOBO out but guess need to learn how to read the HD counts better.  You get use to no problems and then you ignore things 

 

The data back up will take another day :(  

 

Do I toss a dart at the wall and try replacing Disk 3 first..  The 2 TB drives and 8TB I ordered wonnt be here till mid week

Well I can not win for losing on this one....

 

Just had another crazy storm roll through and I am having problems Mounting my external drive I was using to back up some of my data

 

the messages I get are

In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details. '
 

 

Any help is appreciated

Well your suggestion worked :)

 

My drives are in hand I am going to exchange 3 now

 

One thing that popped up that I have never seen before is this which guess it means things are really messed up

Well things are rebuilding.....

 

Watching the drive I am very unsure why this is so high - its what the old drive indicated as a failure mode but the new drive is not flagging anything 

#    ATTRIBUTE NAME    FLAG    VALUE    WORST    THRESHOLD    TYPE    UPDATED    FAILED    RAW VALUE
1    Raw read error rate    0x000f    079    076    006    Pre-fail    Always    Never    74902826
