SergeantCC4 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I appear to be having an issue I just noticed recently. I was out of town for business for two months and came back to discover that my disk2 (sdr) had 1024 errors that occured 1 second after a parity check started. The parity check completed without incident, the disk is not marked as failed currently, and I checked the S.M.A.R.T. data and there don't appear to be errors. I've attached a clipping from my syslog from when that happened (diskerrors.txt), as well as the diagnostics. Any guidance for this matter would be appreciated. The drive in question is a WD60EZAZ which is an SMR drive. I know people in the past has said that they're OK to use so if it's just a known issue and nothing to worry about that would be great. However, if anyone could let me know how to clear/correct those errors if the drive is good, or if someone could help me decide if the drive is bad. P.S. I ran a second parity check and it found zero errors as well. DiskErrors.txt server1-diagnostics-20220424-2210.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Disk look healthy, errors occurred right after spin up, so you might want to try and disable spin down if it happens again in the same circumstances. Quote Link to comment
SergeantCC4 Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Is there a way to clear the listed errors in that case? Edit: The reason I ask is because I keep getting an alert that my array has failed due to those errors. Edited April 25, 2022 by SergeantCC4 added information Quote Link to comment
MrGrey Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 19 hours ago, JorgeB said: errors occurred right after spin up NEVER let your disks spin down. It's an "age-old" argument and I'm, obviously, on the side of keeping them spinning (5 watts each?). 9 hours ago, SergeantCC4 said: Is there a way to clear the listed errors in that case? I think you need to do a backup. Take your time. Mechanical drives are tanks, just don't through a grenade in them. Errors are there for a reason. Evaluate them. I wish I could help more.

Solution SergeantCC4 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted July 7, 2022 Turns out when I stopped and started the array it cleared the errors. I ran another parity check to be sure and no errors have been back since. Quote Link to comment
