[SOLVED] Pre-Emptive Action - SysLog Errors - Has My Disk Failed?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm new around these parts. Been experimenting with unRAID and an old PC until last week I pulled the plug and bought new server hardware. I've just spent the day filling the array and have encountered a problem.

 

The web gui says all disks are running fine but the syslog has filled up with a lot of errors and minor issues all saying along the same lines. There are a lot of errors, I've included a sample below:

 

Sep 14 00:14:29 Tower kernel:          res 51/40:06:ca:00:04/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) (Errors)
Sep 14 00:14:29 Tower kernel: ata4.00: status: { DRDY ERR } (Drive related)
Sep 14 00:14:29 Tower kernel: ata4.00: error: { UNC } (Errors)
Sep 14 00:14:29 Tower kernel: ata4.00: configured for UDMA/133 (Drive related)
Sep 14 00:14:29 Tower kernel: ata4: EH complete (Drive related)
Sep 14 00:14:30 Tower kernel: ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 (Errors)
Sep 14 00:14:30 Tower kernel: ata4.00: irq_stat 0x40000001 (Drive related)
Sep 14 00:14:30 Tower kernel: ata4.00: failed command: READ DMA (Minor Issues)
Sep 14 00:14:30 Tower kernel: ata4.00: cmd c8/00:08:c8:00:04/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 4096 in (Drive related)
Sep 14 00:14:30 Tower kernel:          res 51/40:05:cb:00:04/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) (Errors)
Sep 14 00:14:30 Tower kernel: ata4.00: status: { DRDY ERR } (Drive related)
Sep 14 00:14:30 Tower kernel: ata4.00: error: { UNC } (Errors)

 

From reading the syslog I'm thinking the disk on ata4 is failing/has failed but I'm not unraid or linux proficient so I don't know the real meaning of those errors.

 

A bit of background:

I have been loading another disk with files though a TV Shows user share, which was across disk 1 & 2 as both had a TV Shows top-level folder. But the folder on disk 1 (sdd) was deleted earlier today. It appears that somehow this folder was re-created and some files added to it. I was adding files to disk 2 when I heard disk 1 make a loud clunk noise and spin up. It appears that this was when the files were added to disk 1.

 

I've attached my full syslog and my device configuration is below.

 

I hope this is a panic over nothing but I know from experience that hdd's making noises is a bad sign! I hope I've not gone overkill with the information and that someone may have the answer.

 

Thanks,

John

I've run the short SMART report and the output is below. Don't see any sectors needing reallocating but there are 6 errors noted.

 

I've also started a long SMART test and will add the results when it completes.

 

Thanks

John

This helped me....

Run a non correcting partiy check...more errors should appear.  And if recoverable, the drive will not show any more errors on the main page, if not - the parity check may slow to a crawl or errors will increase
