Is my drive dying? Please help

Featured Replies

I was installing some plugins today and had to do a reboot.

 

It didn't shutdown cleanly and my server has been acting strange since.

 

It's checking parity but going super slow...

 

is my disk failing?

 

writes 17636 errors 71434

 

here is a piece of the sys log i'm able to get...

Hi mate

 

Put your data in a new safe disk, and tray to preclear it, at least two or three full cycles. The overall smarctl says status passed,so reallocating the bad sectors should be enough, but anyway, The disk colud fail again.

Also pass a long smarctl test, smarctl -t long /dev/sd*

 

But it's a quite cheap WD20EARX, so just replace it.
