April 10, 20233 yr 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!!
April 11, 20233 yr Community Expert Solution Cache pool is detecting data corruption, run a correcting scrub and post the output, also good idea to run memtest.
April 12, 20233 yr Author 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
April 13, 20233 yr Author 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.
April 13, 20233 yr Community Expert It's normal, since btrfs will alternate reads from both devices, and some process can have much more reads than others.
April 14, 20233 yr Author 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.
