[6.12.3] Problems with new disk after few reboots

[rikdegraaff]

Hello all,

 

I have some problems with my just new disk.
I have to had to reboot a few times due to problems with using powertop.
So now I've disabled everything in my boot/config/go file, back to original.
But to check things out, I needed to reboot my server a few times.

 

Now I booted it for the last time, and I get a red x at the disk4.

I did a read check but that wasn't the solution.

My disk4 is just about a month old, so I don't think it is the disk itself.
Also the SATA data cable is the same age, so can it be that?

I never had the disk "failing" so quick...

 

What can I do to resolve this matter?

I've attached my diagnostics, maybe you guys can get something out of that.

Thanks in advance for all the support.

Kind Regards!

Diags are after rebooting so we can't see what happened, but SMART looks fine so you can rebuild on top, probably a good idea to replace cables before doing it to rule that out.

Yep gonna do that.
I don't have the diags from before rebooting, cause nothing was wrong at that moment, too bad.

 

I did some cable swapping, advice via reddit, and came out on a faulty miniSAS 8087 cable.

One of those 4 sata cables are bad, so I've ordered a new one.

Expected to arrive in a couple of days.

 

So for now the problem seems solved with a new cable, but I cannot verify that until I have a new cable.

Yep that was the problem, a miniSAS cable.

 

The solution was as follows:

Unassigned the disk first

Assigned the disk again to the same empty slot as before.

Then a parity rebuild and everything is back up and running!

 

Thanks again!
