this seems to pop up when the mover is running, which i guess is the only time i write to the array since all shares use cache disk.

3 data drives, 1 parity.

Drive looks good. That leaves everything else  ;). Things to try in no particular order: Power, SATA, backplane. Replace and/or move the SATA connection. Check the power connection. Replace any power splitters.

the sync check passed with 0 errors, at an average of 78MB/sec.

 

what is this error exactly? it says smart error which tells me its not i/o or mechanical related. if a few smart commands dont work is it the end of the world?

It's not. And if it's not causing any performance or function problems then don't worry about it. I'd keep an eye on it. Is this the cache drive? Is the array written only by the mover?

  • Author

its disk1 actually, and this occurs when the mover ran the last couple of nights, but not last night, or any other time before. i have been moving a lot of data lately though.

 

performance is still normal and no other issues happening.

 

will monitor.

  • Author

well it happened again during mover (remember all shares use cache so mover is the only thing that writes to the actual array).

 

one time this happened it was copying a movie from cache to disk1. i recently watched said movie and it had freezes in it which i have never had before.

 

i think this corrupted the file during move.

 

what a pita, this is a newly returned rma'd WD drive.

  • Author

well, i've narrowed this to either a bad mobo sata port or a bad slot in my 6month old IcyDock 3-in-2.

 

will test with a spare drive to narrow it down, would hate to lose either, but would rather have a bad slot in the icydock then a dead mobo port  :-\

You have already had good advice, but I'll just add a comment.  I've never seen this error before, and have to say it's rather uninformative!  There are a number of SMART commands, and we are not told which one failed, or whether it was the act of trying to communicate with the drive's SMART system that failed.  There is no error return here, and all other flags are zero, no issue indicated.  All we know therefore is that some command related to SMART took too long to respond!  I would ignore it, unless you see or suspect something wrong.

 

Since you do have some suspicions about transfer corruption, I would either try some CRC or similar checks, on source and destination files, or if you have some experience with DOS, try using the FC command, or other file compare tool.

  • Author

It for sure screwed up data because one of the movies was skipping / freezing. tracing it back shows this error happened during copy of that movie.

 

it happened again the other night. but with a twist....

IDENTIFY DEVICE....i've read this is bad.. RMA already started. only happens during writing operations to the drive too.

 

drive was on a different mobo port, diff cable, diff slot in hot swap bay so its definitely the drive.

 

so atleast i didnt lose a slot/port after all! :)

  • Author

how can i confirm ata4 = sdd = md3 = disk1 ?????

  • Author

well, turns out ATA4 is the parity drive :(

 

really frustrated with the lack of quality from some parts (either WD, IcyDock).

 

also, unRAID needs to better cross reference ata#, sdx, diskx, mdx for end users to make diagnostics easier.

  • Author

thanks, I'll play around with that tonight when i get home.

 

regardless though, unRAID is all about DATA and DRIVES, it should really handle errors more gracefully. Perhaps a plugin called DriveDiag is needed for all these tools/tricks, etc... if I had the skills / time i'd do it, but i dont.

 

i discovered what drive it was by stopping the array cleanly, then powering off the drive via the IcyDock cage and inspect the syslog for messages. when i powered off the bottom cage (parity slot) ATA4 errors popped up.

There is a linux app that will do this with pretty output. Its been requested for inclusion in the nest release

  • Author

that would be great!

Did anything happen with this?  It would be helpful.
