Disk Errors but SMART okay-ish

Featured Replies

Unraid just took a disk offline due to 58 "Errors", but checking SMART all I see is Raw_Read_Error_Rate, but it hasn't even hit the threshold at its worst:

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAGS    VALUE WORST THRESH FAIL RAW_VALUE

  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate     POSR--   100   064   044    -    0/1183016

I've attached my diagnostics, is there any indication of what's actually erroring, and if the disk is completely borked and needs replacing?

Thanks,

Josh

From your syslog, your disk 11 is having READ and WRITE errors. Maybe it's your MPT3 SAS controller or cables?

Not sure what more to look at/for, been ages since I looked at this sort of stuff, so out of practice. Hoping someone else can pickup the ball and continue the task.

The SMART report seems to be when you were in process of performing an Extended Offline SMART test?

Hi Brit,

Thanks for taking a look.

The SMART report seems to be when you were in process of performing an Extended Offline SMART test?

I started that after the drive disabled due to errors, and it's been stuck at 10% so I decided to post this instead of waiting potentially forever

I'm unsure how far back the diagnostic logs go - do they imply when the read/write errors started occurring?

Thanks,

Josh

The current syslog started on April 17 12:09:05 and ends on April 24 00:48:15.

The previous syslog started on April 10 04:40:59 and ends on April 16 08:28:01.

The only "read error" or "write error" related to any drives started (and ended) at April 24 00:24:14.

Thanks - the server was shutoff and moved about a week ago, so I was wondering if it had started then.

What would you suggest as next steps? Power off, check/replug cables, and see if that improves anything?

Thanks,

Josh

That would be a start. You will have to rebuild disk11 of course. Emulated disk11 is mounted so should be OK to rebuild on top.

I shutdown, reseated everything, powered on, stopped the array, but the disk just says "disabled" - I may be blind but where do I re-enable the disk?

Thanks,

Josh

I checked some other threads and saw I need to rebuild the drive onto itself, but all the links provided were dead links (https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Storage_Management#Rebuilding_a_drive_onto_itself), and the equivalent link I found pointing to the new docs (https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/array/overview/#rebuilding-a-drive-onto-itself) doesn't seem to have that section either.

Thanks,

Josh

Probably simpler to search the docs themselves since any forum links may be outdated.

The errors are not logged as a disk problem, so most likely a power/connection issue, in case it happens again.

  • Author

So after reseating and rebuiling, it worked fine for a couple days until I got another error last night - this time from a different disk. I've attached the diagnostics just in case, but presumably this is a connection issue as mentioned.

With that in mind, is there a way to test if it's data or power? I'm using a HBA with two Mini SAS -> 4xSATA, so that could explain the different disks erroring without the entire card being dead.

Thanks,

Josh

How are the drives powered? Any splitters? Ideally no more than 4 drives per PSU cable.

I think one of the cables has 5 drives on it - though it has been that way for over a year

Thanks

  • Community Expert

Try using different power cables, no splitters if possible, and if the issue persists, replace the miniSAS cable.

But if you have a modular PSU, you must use cables for that specific PSU. There is no standard pinout for modular PSU. Don't fry your drives by using a wrong cable.

  • Author

So I now have:
- 3 x 4 HDDs on one cable
- 1 x 3 HDDs + 1 SSD + 1 Fan Controller on one cable

(17 SATA powered devices total, but I think the SSD and Fan Controller don't draw that much, so putting them on the one with 3 HDDs makes sense to me)

I've also replaced the Mini SAS -> 4x SATA cables, because I didn't want to have to get physical access to the server again (it's in an awkward place)

Hopefully that's all the issues resolve, thanks for the support everyone
