Notification for File System Corruption?

[darkside40]

Hi there,

is it normal you dont get a notification if there is a files system corruption in unRaid?

 

Had some Problems yesterday. Wanted to move some Files  on the CLI and the listing of a folder didnt appear. Lookes at the Syslog and there were some red lines telling me about a metadata corruption on a drive and that i had to run xfs_repair.

 

Okay did that, had a lot of files and folders in lost+found and quite a bit of "fun" partially restoring the from backup or move them back to their originally space.

 

What wonders is that i didnt get a notification about that quite big issue. Normally i get notifications for everything.

Nope.

Didnt get any althought Notifications are working correctly.

But the drive also was not labeled faulty by unraid.

Like mentioned you won't get a notification for filesystem corruption.

Okay than i get you wrong. Maybe something that should be considered because it is something that is present in the syslog.

Yeah, sorry, I missed the negative in your question.

Great seems that i lost some files.

Just a quick questions, i think unraid is working on block level. So the parati also reflects the FS curruption, right?

So a rebuild of the Drive would be useless.

Correct, parity is for redundancy, you still should have backups of anything important.

Thats the way i do it with Borg Backup. The only bad thing is if files vanish because of such a corruption an you are not notified of it.
