Unable to write to cache

[ahmed2250]

I woke up today and was unable to start any of the docket containers, rebooted the system and docker service is unable to start, tried to use the fix common problems plugin and it shows an error that unable to write to cache, cache drive is not full, not sure how to go about fixing this

 

If it helps here is the hardware

MSI z690 edge DDR4

Intel i5 12600k

Corsair LPX 2x16GB

3x 18TB exos (including 1 parity)

1x samsung evo 980 pro 2TB

 

Server was built less than 10 days ago, havent had any other issues, any help is greatly appreciated

Btrfs is detecting data corruption, start by running memtest.

Thank you for the reply, so i just started the memtest86 a few minutes ago and I already have 2 errors showing, does that mean I need new dimms ? it's just weird that these are newly bought ones and never been used before, should I be going for ECC DDR4 or do I just buy normal DDR4 ?

 

Edit: not sure if it matters but I have XMP enabled in bios, will that show errors in memtest or cuased the issue with the server ?

Yes, at least one.

It still means the RAM is bad, though for servers overclocking is usually not recommended, and XMP is overclocking.

Thank you for your input, after about an hour memtest shows 49 errors, just orderd new ones.

 

One more question if you dont mind, do you think after installing and testing the new ram the system will boot up normaly or should i just format the cache drive just to safe ?

[JorgeB]

You can a run a scrub first, if corrupt files are found look in the syslog for the list then deleted them, though formatting the pool would be safer for avoiding issues in the future.

Just to say for someone with almost zero knowledge of linux based systems and building a PC/server for the very first time is a very scary thing, what actually motivated me was this community right here, i saw so many people seeking answers and everyone gets the help they needed.

 

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and time
