Hey everyone, experiencing a strange issue on my Unraid server running version 6.11.5.

 

This morning (Tuesday 14th Feb) I had two drives with random errors on the drives. One was on the parity 2 drive and the other was on a data storage drive.  Both drives were displaying 32 Errors exactly.

 

The server had just run a 20 hour parity check with no errors. So I was suspicious.

 

So I run some tests on the data drive and see smart tests. All passed.

 

So I rebooted and the Array came back clean with no errors?

 

I am presuming if a drive really had sector or drive issues errors would persist and remain after reboot as the drive is probably failing etc?

 

Are these errors something to worry about, are there any other diagnostics I can run to determine the health of the array please?

 

Or are these some sort of low level bug ?

 

Any help greatly appreciated. I have included a diagnostic in case anyone needs to take a peek?

Diags are after rebooting so we cannot see what happened, if it happens again post new diags.

Hi everyone, has happened again, always on different drives and I now if I reboot the errors will disappear again!

 

I have uploaded a diagnostic before reboot this time, hope someone can offer some advice?

 

I have run a Server memory check two days ago, no errors.

 

Also server just finished a Parity check yesterday with no errors!

 

Some points about last time I had these errors. The errors last time were on two different drives.

 

The errors showing on two drives are always 1024 exactly and never any other figure.

 

Hope someone can help

Anyone?

Could be related to this:

 

Hey JorgeB thanks for the reference and the link. 

 

I have read the full potential issue and fix, but my symptoms appear to be quite different (Although could still be related to Seagate and UNRAID).

 

I do not have any issues with Drives dropping from the system, just these random errors which I know are not real.  They are random errors on random drives, although the error count is always 1024!

 

So I dare say it may be related, I might possibly go through the steps detailed in the post and apply these changes to see if this fixes my issue.

 

Does anyone know if there were any fixes applied to UNRAID on 6.9.xx that addresses the issue 'Cessquill' documented ?

Disable spin down, if it's related the errors should stop.

Perfect yep looking to do that today and a clean reboot

 

I will report back
