Cal Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 HELP!!! When I copy files to the array cache some random files will not move to the array when the mover is run. These files can still be accessed and work perfectly fine they are just stuck on the cache and can’t be cut/copied from the cache the only way to remove them is to delete them. I have tried using krusader to move the files, windows smb shares nothing works once they are unmovable except to delete. I’ve changed the drive the config, fresh installed and file system btrfs to xfs and still the same issue. I’m at a loss to this issue. The only way this doesn’t happen is without the cache connected to the array. Which is a serious speed killer. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!! Quote Link to comment

Solution JorgeB Posted April 11, 2023 Solution Share Posted April 11, 2023 Cache pool is detecting data corruption, run a correcting scrub and post the output, also good idea to run memtest. Quote Link to comment
Cal Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Ok so a memtest revealed bad ram, I've replaced that and rerun the memtest with a pass. I also wiped the cache and app_data drives I had and combined them into a parity cache. Please see the new diagnostic file zeus-diagnostics-20230412-2206.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Run a correcting scrub on the pool and post the output. Quote Link to comment
Cal Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 The scrub results show no errors found. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 That's good, keep monitoring the pool with this. Quote Link to comment
Cal Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 Thanks so much for the help! Wait and see how everything goes but looks good so far. Out of curiosity are the read/writes of the pool drives meant to remain being the identical number as they are setup as raid 1. They always start out being the same from reboot but get out of sync.

JorgeB Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 It's normal, since btrfs will alternate reads from both devices, and some process can have much more reads than others. Quote Link to comment
Cal Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Thanks again for your help! I’ve done some initial testing and the problems I was having look to have been solved. Once I discovered the bad ram ( a place I never would have thought to look ) all the pieces fell into place as to the root cause that was flowing into the next causing all the issues. 1 Quote Link to comment
