(SOLVED) Cache drive is read-only

[Gomilo]

Hi all,

I hope that one of you can help confirm suspicion.

My cache drive is all of a sudden read only. I tried to reboot the server and it worked for an hour or so and is now back to read only.

I suspect that the cache drive is about to die. Is it possible to confirm from the diagnositcs report?

 

 

Best regards Gomilo

Merry Christmas

SMART test is failing, so yes, device needs to be replaced.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion @JorgeB

 

I have now ordered an upgrade to my cache - HDD -> NVMe

Great excuse for an upgrade even though it's annoying to have a failing harddrive 😃
