SSD cache failure?

Featured Replies

Hi, hope everyone is keeping well.

I'm in the process of converting my single 970_EVO_1TB XFS cache drive to ZFS and then adding another 1TB as RAID 1 mirror. I've followed spaceinvader's tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXF8au5o9Tw) where cache is backed up to the array using mover. However, halfway through the process mover just stopped and there's still data on the cache. When restarting mover nothing happens!

Any way to rectify this issue or has the SSD completely failed?

Extended tests are failing, so the device should be replaced.

Thank you. If I replace it with the new 1TB SSD drive, format in ZFS and then reverse mover from cache to array on the shares will all my data be in tact?

Possibly not all the data was copied, but if it was, you should be OK.

There still appears to be appdata on the failed cache drive. Safer to copy to the new SSD from a backup in this case?

Possibly, as long as it's a good and recent backup.

I've resolved this now with a recent backup. Much appreciated thank you.

Also on one of my 3.5" HDD array disks I have the error below even though the Last SMART test result: Completed without error

Anything I ought to do regarding this?

199

UDMA CRC error count

0x0032

200

200

000

Old age

Always

Never

8

That's typically caused by a bad SATA cable, if the attribute keeps increasing, replace it, if not, they could be old errors.

Just reviving an old thread because it seems like an issue related to this drive. The UDMA CRC error count on this array disk is still 8 and Reallocated sector 5. There's also another 3.5" drive with just a Reallocated sector 5 error only.

On the main page I'm finding the disks are not displaying stats correctly and at one point all drives completely disappeared. I've deleted browser cache and tried different browsers but the issue still persists. Shutdown server and replaced the SATA cable for the drive with the UDMA CRC error count and reseated all SATA cables and power cables for other drives. I've attached a screenshot of what's now happening after this reboot. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Deleting a bunch of dynamix plugins seems to have solved the problem!

Any need to be concerned about the following on 2 drives:

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAGS VALUE WORST THRESH FAIL RAW_VALUE

5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct PO--CK 100 100 010 - 5

I would not be too concerned with such a low value if the extended SMART tests passed and they remained stable.
