Neejrow Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Unraid 6.11.5 Ryzen 3900X B550M Mortar Wifi Hello, Last night I recieved an email that my server encounter some errors on a disk. This concerned me greatly because just recently (2~ weeks ago) I went through a whole ordeal with a drive seemingly failing, and then the replacement drive I bought failed, so had to buy a 2nd replacement drive to fix. (Context here) Immediately upon seeing this error I began a SMART extended self test on the drive, and it has just completed. It returned without error. I'm attaching the diagnostics to this post. Do I simply disregard this small error of 64 as a one off random thing maybe caused by a memory failure etc, or is this something I should take more seriously? I have had my unRAID server running great for 3 years, up until a couple of weeks ago. The previous incident clearly seemed that the drive itself had failed (under warranty) but now with these errors coming up randomly on a different drive, perhaps something else is also happening that needs to be addressed? I can't really recall ever having errors on drives before outside of a failed drive and faulty SATA cable. What are the next steps I should take? Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20230222-1826.zip Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted February 22, 2023 Solution Share Posted February 22, 2023 It's not logged as a disk problem and SMART looks fine, so most likely a power/connection problem, could also be spin down related. 1 Quote Link to comment
apandey Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Given you are running into problems frequently, might be good to revisit your cables / connections etc. Both power and data. That is probably the only common thing here Quote Link to comment
Neejrow Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Okay thanks for the suggestions. I will turn the server off tomorrow and check what cable it's on. (Mobo / SAS card) I thought I was being smart last time with putting labels on all my drives. Now I realise I'm an idiot for not labelling which end of the system they go to. Edit: Can see in devices which drives are on LSI card / Motherboard ports. Edited February 24, 2023 by Neejrow Quote Link to comment
