3TB drive errors when creating parity // WD30EZRX


Recommended Posts

Updated from a working 4.7 array to 5.0b10 on a friend's test server, with the intent to test out the new 3TB support.  New parity drive was detected fine as 3TB, and when starting the array, the option was given to upgrade parity from 2TB to 3TB.  When starting the upgrade process, it worked for a couple of minutes and errored out.  See attached syslog.

 

Tried swapping the parity from the MB SATA to one of the Supermicro AOC PCIE cards, but no joy either.  MB is an ASUS P5Q Deluxe.  Edit: drive is an WD30EZRX 3TB.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Don't know.  I am not an expert in syslog reading, but here is where the problems start ...

I have several 3T drives, but none are WD.  In fact I have not heard of anyone here with anything other that Hitachi 3T drives, so it could be something to do with the drive (unlikely but possible).

 

Whenever you see strange disk behavior first steps are normally to run smart reports and check the cabling.  Have you done that?  Can you post a smart report?  That would be my first suggestion.

Hello there, thanks very much for the reply.  Have since updated one of my servers to 0.5b10 and same issue there.  Have tried multiple ports for the drive (Supermicro 24 disk case).

Just as a further update here, the WD drives seemed to read ok, but would error out upon any writes attempted.

 

I bought 2 x Hitachi_HDS723030ALA640 3TB drives to test and these are working perfectly fine.

 

Assume some compatibility issues with the WD drives at present (using Supermicro RAID card, and motherboard SATA's).

 

I will keep the drives on the side in case further testing needed at some point.

 

Cheers,
