April 17, 20242 yr I was going through my shares to make sure they were backed up and I noticed a file stuck on the cache. I tried mover and nothing happened. I tried manually copy it from the terminal and got IO errors. I ended up just deleting the file as it was not important but wondering if there is a bigger issue. Here is the screenshot of the syslog after attempting mv in the terminal. I have the diagnostics before I did this if it is potentially serious and needs more investigation
April 17, 20242 yr Community Expert Based on those errors looks like the cache device is failing, run an extended SMART test.

April 17, 20242 yr Community Expert Keep monitoring, but any more similar errors, where it mentions "media error" I would replace it.
April 17, 20242 yr Community Expert I've had several SSDs lately having similar read errors, on all cases the drive iteslf wasn't faulty but data that was never rewritten "rotted" and became more difficult/impossible to read. Copied everything off, ran a secure erase to force erasure of the whole flash and a fresh start, and they were usable just fine again.
