Lately it seems like my server has slowed way down so I was thinking maybe my cache drive went bad because I just threw in an old laptop hdd which I didn't know if it even worked still. I ran hdparm -tT /dev/sdX and noticed that the cache drive jumped all over the place for speed between 500 MBs and 1100 while the others stayed 1000-1100. So I went ahead and copied everything to a brand new 2TB seagate drive that hasn't been added to the array yet and passed preclear.

 

I ran top and noticed I have about 60%wa to upwards of 99%wa which upon googling says it's the system waiting on some io operation to happen before it can continue. I've seen this doing some different tasks but currently I'm scanning my music folder with Subsonic /mnt/user/Media/Music/ which usually takes about a minute and currently it's been running for about 15 minutes and is only a small percentage of the way into it.

 

Maybe I have a drive going bad or maybe the cache drive has something corrupted. I really have no idea how to proceed. So here is my syslog and some smart reports. smarta.txt is my cache drive and smartd.txt is the cache drive. The other 3 are the data drives. Any help is greatly appreciated!

smarta.txt

smartc.txt

smartd.txt

smarte.txt

Guess I should have added all the smart reports to one log, I'm sorry. Here are the other 2 logs.

smartf.txt

Do a test with no add-ons. See my sig.

It looks like I was probably just running out of memory. Thanks!

 

EDIT: Furthermore it looks like something in my go script was using a crap ton of ram. I went to stock GO and instead of 97 MB free I have 1692 MB free. So I really need to troubleshoot that.
