Keep getting 'Structure needs cleaning' errors in the file system

[62165]

Hello,

 

First time poster...I have an Unraid setup running on an HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Tower. I know this is a no no...but my array disks are connected via a USB 3.0 shelf. Cache is an M.2 and the dual parity are onboard SATA. I keep having issues where my file syncing program stops being able to access directories. When I go look via CLI, I get errors that the structure needs cleaned. I took a look at the logs and it reports that I need to run xfs_repair on md4, which is the disk having issues. The biggest concern is I just had this issue happen the other day in a different directory and with disk 3. I'm wondering if you all can help figure out what exactly is happening. 

root@DUNDERMIFFLIN:/mnt/user/videos/hdmovies/local# ls

/bin/ls: reading directory '.': Structure needs cleaning



root@DUNDERMIFFLIN:/mnt/disk4/videos/hdmovies/local# ls -l | grep ??

/bin/ls: cannot access 'Short Cuts (1993)': Structure needs cleaning d????????? ? ? ? ? ? Short\ Cuts\ (1993)/

Check filesystem on disk4

I'm hoping someone can assist. I understand that doing an xfs_repair fixes, but I keep having to do this on several disks. Just had to do on md2...

If you keep getting filesystem corruption without an apparent reason there's likely some hardware issue, start by running memtest.

I did 4 passes of all tests, memory passed… I have another issue and I don’t know if it’s relevant, but may be worth mentioning as it started at the same time. Plex videos all have blocky artifacts at times, regardless if they’re direct play or transcode. Regardless of the player type or if they’re local or remote viewers. It happens every 30 seconds or so in the videos.

Could be related, if something is corrupting the data.
