December 11, 20232 yr As far as I can tell there are 0 issues with this drive. No smart errors before and after converting it to zfs for the sole purpose of backing up app data. since zfs formatting, drive has been disabled two times with successful rebuilds. Now on third disabling before zfs formatting this drive has been running as a data drive for several years with no issues. any reason why it would be an issue now? The drive as it stands only handles zfs backup. No data is being written to it otherwise
December 11, 20232 yr Community Expert It's logged as a disk problem, run an extended SMART test on the disk, this type of error can be intermittent, and there are no pending sectors, though in this case there wasn't a read error before the write error, which is not that common.
December 12, 20232 yr Author I ran the extended test and it completed without error. Attached is the smart report homeserver-smart-20231211-1820.zip
December 12, 20232 yr Community Expert Swap both cables/slot with a different disk to rule that out then retest.
January 12, 20242 yr Author Solution I haven't had any issues since I posted this which is the longest it's gone. I didn't swap out anything. What I did do is disable app backup which I had forgotten about. Not 100% sure if that was the issue but after disabling that so it's not running at the same time as the zfs backup - seems ok now 🤷♂️
