March 2, 20233 yr Hi everyone, Like every first of the month I ran the parity check, but in the last 3 or 4 times 5 parity errors are detected. Initially I forgot to flag error correction but now I did but it keeps getting errors. What should I do? diagnostics.zip
March 2, 20233 yr So to confirm after running a correcting parity check the next run of a monthly parity check will return 5 errors again?
March 2, 20233 yr Community Expert The parity check in your diagnostics was non-correcting. And you want your scheduled parity checks to be non-correcting. So that is all good. A small number of sync errors are not uncommon with unclean shutdowns, but the current boot was clean. Maybe an unclean shutdown happened with an earlier boot. These are the sync errors in those diagnostics: Mar 1 04:43:14 giannas kernel: md: recovery thread: P incorrect, sector=2353004440 Mar 1 04:43:14 giannas kernel: md: recovery thread: P incorrect, sector=2353004448 Mar 1 04:43:14 giannas kernel: md: recovery thread: P incorrect, sector=2353004456 Mar 1 04:43:14 giannas kernel: md: recovery thread: P incorrect, sector=2353004464 Mar 1 04:43:14 giannas kernel: md: recovery thread: P incorrect, sector=2353004472 Run a correcting parity check, then post new diagnostics. The expected result will be the same, except they will be logged as corrected. If not, that might suggest a hardware problem. If you get the expected result, then another non-correcting parity check to confirm there are no sync errors remaining. If there are still sync errors after they have been corrected, that might suggest a hardware problem.
