Parity check never finishes


Recommended Posts

My server boots, but parity check stops progressing at random point. I have powered off and check all connections, they seem good to me.

 

I have attached a diagnostic before starting the array and after, and  current syslog. I am unable to get a diagnostic download after the parity check hangs.

 

Please let me know if this server can be salvaged, I'm about ready to give up on it.

Your syslog ends with a lot of this

Nov 17 08:29:15 Zelda kernel: mpt2sas_cm0: log_info(0x31110d00): originator(PL), code(0x11), sub_code(0x0d00)
Nov 17 08:29:19 Zelda kernel: sd 13:0:0:0: Power-on or device reset occurred
Nov 17 08:29:19 Zelda rc.diskinfo[8842]: SIGHUP received, forcing refresh of disks info.
Nov 17 08:29:19 Zelda kernel: sd 13:0:0:0: Power-on or device reset occurred

which is referring to this

03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller [0107]: Broadcom / LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] [1000:0072] (rev 03)

 

You should only run a correcting parity check after a noncorrecting check shows sync errors, and you are reasonably sure there isn't some hardware problem. So you are corrupting parity due to controller issues.
