Unclean shutdown during rebuild, now 3 disks unmountable. Any help appreciated.


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I am trying to explain what happened and am desperately seeking your advice.

 

This is the setup in question:

sdg is my parity

sdf disk 1

sdi disk 2

sdb disk 4

sdj disk 5

 

sdh is my old disk 1

 

 

After my disk1 repeatedly got disabled, I purchasd a new replacement disk. After pre-clearing I started the rebuild of the missing disk.

After a day I went back to check that it had only rebuild 0.7% and the system seemed stuck. The log show some read errors on disk 5 (which so far did not cause any problems) but the system was not responding. Halting, rebooting, nothing worked, also not downloading diagnostics. So after trying to figure out the stuck process for some time I gave up and maybe did an unclever thing by forcing a power down. 

 

The system then came back up with, after I started the array it stated 4 disks unmountable. I switched back to maintenance mode, tried to get xfs-repair to show me what may be an issue, but it stopped with superblock errors on all disks in question.

 

The Log file is now showing these messages... 1 - 2 - 5 all in succession, ever minute.

 

Aug 21 18:19:01 bigpool kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev md1, logical block 3906469856, async page read
Aug 21 18:20:01 bigpool kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev md2, logical block 3906469856, async page read

Aug 21 18:20:01 bigpool kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev md1, logical block 3906469856, async page read

 

Now I am stuck again as in what I can even try to do. Trying to run xfs-repair give me this, on all disks 1,2,5

Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... superblock read failed, offset 0, size 524288, ag 0, rval -1 fatal error -- Input/output error

 

Now I am "somewhat stuck in a maintenance mode" but it doesn't respond, shut down, stop the array or anything.

 

Since I am unable to download any diagnostics, what can I do manually so some of you has an idea how to recover the disks and data on it?

 

cheers, Florian

Try and Google a couple of ways to repair your superblock. The data is very likely still there, but you've lost your metadata and the system doesn't know what to do with the files (let alone what they even are). I had the same issue due to a freak error that occured with my motherboard model. Not due to an unclean shutdown during rebuild.

 

I'm just going to be really honest with you. If you cannot fix your superblocks, the only option you have is professional data recovery service. An unclean shutdown during a rebuild is one of the worst things that can happen to your array and you should always consult the pros before ever killing power. At the earlier stage you could have backed up your superblocks at the very least before killing the power. Often-times the best thing is to just stop the process, do a disk image and then try again. It's a lot more difficult if you have totally borked disks as you need to remember during a rebuild everything is being overwritten with what's in parity.

 

I "lost" 11TB of data from the same thing, irrecoverable superblocks. Those drives are in my cupboard now waiting until a day when I bother to fork over a few thousand dollars to have the data restored or until some "magic" machine learning can fix it for me. The data is still there on the disks but nothing can tell me what it even is, how to organize it, etc. there's no metadata whatsoever. It's worse than just an accidental delete because I could recover from that.

 

Good luck.

 

P.S. Remember that every write operation potentially makes you data harder to get back. So pick your next steps incredibly carefully.

P.P.S. I guess it does not need to be said but UNRAID is not a backup solution and you should always have a backup of the backup. The 3, 2, 1 method works.

Thanks, I am aware of the problems it has caused and the most super critical data is safely stored in multiple other locations, so if it's all gone in the end it will be painful but not life threating :)

However the issue I am having is that at the moment I am completely stuck as to which command to run to at least unmount the arrays again to even try to recover any data or repair any superblock, if that is even the issue... For the last 2 hours it just kept writing the I/O-error to the log every minute, doesn't shut down or pretty much does anything else....

 

anyone else with some ideas as to how to continue?

sorry, I was on business trip the last days and couldn't continue checking. I was able to shutdown the server properly last time and now retrieved new diagnostics today as well as one from last Sunday before the unclean shutdown. Again any help appreciated. Thanks for your help and patience.

Thanks, question is how to proceed now. I am back in the state where the array is in maintenance mode, i am unable to download any new diagnostics or stop the array again. 

All that is now showing is the read errors on disks 1,2,5

Aug 27 07:29:02 bigpool kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev md2, logical block 3906469856, async page read
Aug 27 07:29:02 bigpool kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev md5, logical block 3906469856, async page read
Aug 27 07:29:02 bigpool kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev md1, logical block 3906469856, async page read

 

 

I have taken out the old disk1 from the array to not drain any additional power, that is the same setup that has been running for months now.

 

I'm uncertain how to even try to diagnose or try to correct the problem at this stage... 

 

any pointers?

Thanks for your continuous support. all HBA are fixed and cables are fixed. At the moment, I am unable to try with a different PSU. As I mentioned initially, all I did was try to rebuild on a new disk, the entire setup has been running flawlessly for over a year so far.

 

When I reboot in safe mode (shutdown works), and try to run xfs-check on the disks in problem, i get errors like this in the first run, a second run is not possible due to i/o errors.

does that give any pointers as to what I can attempt in order to fix the broken disks?

As I mentioned initially, all I did was try to rebuild on a new disk, the entire setup has been running flawlessly for over a year so far.

It might have been, but it's not now, would not recommended trying to rebuild a disk or fix any filesystem with constant disk errors, there's a chance of making things worse.

ok understood, it will take me some time to organize. So assuming changing my PSU or cables does not bring any solution, what would be an attempt to bring back the data? I was planning to replace my hardware anyway... So would it be wise to start with a fresh array (knowing the original of my replacement disk may still have issues or corrupt data), plugging in the data drives in the new configuration and just ask to rebuild the parity disk? 

Question is, what are the right steps to look into in an attempt to save the data on the disks, if the simple changes to the same hardware do not bring any solutions?

cheers, Florian

Never did get an answer to this

 

Do you have backups of anything important and irreplaceable?

Sorry. Just tried check xfs with the -n option - so not trying any changes. 

My important data is safe in multiple locations 😂 but if at all possible I would like to retain my other data. It can be reorganized but it's a pain in the ass..

That isn't the exact command. There is a reason we asked for the exact command (3 times now)

exactly what command did you use?  the symptoms are not unusual if you get the command slightly wrong.
