Parity Check Errors


Recommended Posts

I've just recently replaced my parity drive with a larger drive, and then replaced an old drive with the parity drive. I was doing parity checks at every step and didn't run into any errors. I copied a bunch of new data to the server and to be safe ran another parity test. This one came up with 384 errors a smart report showed a few reallocated sectors but I'm not sure that is the problem. My parity drive is 2tb, while the other 2 data drives are 1.5 tb. It looks to me like the incorrect blocks all fall after 1.5 Tb so should I not be concerned? Thanks for the help

 

here are the relevant syslog lines:

The sizes you show above are quoted in 1K byte blocks, which agrees with your stated drive sizes.

 

But unRAID uses 512 byte blocks when it reports the location of parity errors (which is something that really should be changed so these two numbers are consistent), so your problems:

Apr 14 14:45:20 SM-Storage kernel: md: parity incorrect: 1896184584

...

 

are somewhere just above the 900GB mark, so could be caused by an issue on any of your drives.
