Corrupted Drive


Recommended Posts

Upgraded from 16c to final. Everything went smoothly. Only one small oddity. My disk 12 became read only (User shares that included that drive also became read only...)...

 

I verified the privileges for users were set correctly, I ran newperms, I tried to chmod it, nothing seemed to fix it...

 

I then resorted to the old adage: "If it ain't working, try a reboot"... Lo and behold... Disk 12 became read/write again.... All is good :). Just thought I'd post in case others are having a similar experience...

 

Note: Frankly, I'm not even 100% sure it is related to the upgrade because I only noticed the problem after running 5.0 Final for a few days. Nothing else was changed, so that's why assume it was the upgrade...

 

Whatever the case, great work Tom! It was a long road to get here, but well worth the wait :)

might want to check that drive. Linux in general will remount a drive read only if there are too many errors reported.

That occurred to me as well, and I ran a short smart test without errors, but I'll run a full one just in case...

has nothing to do with SMART, but a detected file-system-check-error will result in it being re-mounted as READ-ONLY.

 

Best t check the file-system with

reiserfsck --check /dev/md12

Right again, Joe! I ran reiserfsck, and looks like there are some issues with the drive. Here's the error it output:

Replaying journal: Done. Reiserfs journal '/dev/md12' in blocks [18..8211]: 0

How do you recommend I proceed?

 

Thanks!

 

[EDIT] Mods: Just realized I might be dragging this thread off track, so please feel free to move it over to support! :). My issue appears to be unrelated to this release!

I checked the other drives in my array, and looks like drive2 also needs a rebuild! I wonder how long these drives have been corrupted without my knowing...

 

Some thoughts:

 

1. Could this be a contributing factor as to why I was getting an occasional random red balled drive that passed all smart tests and rebuilt without issue?

 

2. Could this be why my parity checks are a bit pokier than I like? (Not terrible, but rarely over 60MB/s)

 

Also, can I rebuild multiple drives simultaneously or do they need to be done one at a time?

 

Thanks!

Possibly.

No, but they could have a common cause. More likely due to slow drives.

Also, can I rebuild multiple drives simultaneously or do they need to be done one at a time?

Yes, but it will take longer than doing each one at a time.
