Read errors - Looking for guidance


Go to solution Solved by JorgeB,

This morning I encountered 128 read errors with one of my drives (Disk 17, a 6TB WD Red). Nothing else seems to be amiss. 

 

I've been running without any issue for years in an enterprise chassis. I run a monthly parity check and it's been 6+ months since I've physically touched any of the hardware. There was nothing unusual about this morning (no one bumped the case, no power hiccups, etc). 

 

Would someone please take a look at my attached diagnostics and let me know if anything stands out?

 

 

Disk 17 - SMART short-test completed without error, running long test now. 

(Side note, I have 2x 12TB drives on the way. The plan was to upgrade parity and move the 2x 10TB I have as parity now, to data drives. Hopefully I can still do that.)

 

Thanks in advance

No issues during the extended SMART test for Disk 17.

 

SMART self-test history:

Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Extended offline    Completed without error       00%     64998         -
# 2  Short offline       Completed without error       00%     64984         -

 

The Smart Error Log item still shows "No Errors Logged". Still just the 128 read errors.

 

Current diagnostics attached. Thanks again.

Disk is OK for now, keep monitoring, especially these attributes:

 

Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAGS    VALUE WORST THRESH FAIL RAW_VALUE
  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate     POSR-K   200   200   051    -    1
200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate   ---R--   200   200   000    -    0

 

If they increase you are likely going to get more read errors, and in that case I would consider replacing it

Thanks again for taking a look. I rebuilt on top and then went through the entire process to add 2x12TB parity disks one at a time and then moved my old 2x10TB parity disks down to data disks. No errors.
