Read error on data disk while rebuilding parity

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

So my parity drive failed a while ago and I just replaced it with a 6TB drive.  After plugging it in, I started the parity rebuild last night and it was all going swimmingly until I woke up and checked the status.  It estimated about a day to complete the whole thing.

 

Now this morning when I checked, Disk 6 had 128 errors and the speed has dropped to anything from 5mb to 1mb.  I tried reading up on the error and everything I can find says it's okay to have that since it'll just get rewritten to another sector with the parity as a reference.

 

But I'm trying to rebuild my parity and not sure what the read error means here.  Does that mean data is lost?  And if so, is there a way to figure out which data?  Since it's my latest disk, I may still be able to replace what's bad.

 

Also, why did the parity check speed drop so much?  Is that an indication of something else that's wrong?

 

SO many problems and I have no idea what to do :(

 

Thanks!

I would expect that the parity speed dropped because of problems reading the disk that indicated it had errors.

 

I would suggest that you post a Syslog and a SMART report for the drive indicating it has errors.  This might allow for better guidance to be given.

Do I need to run a (long or short) smart test? Or can I just post the existing smart report?

 

Thanks

Jut a report gibing the current values of all the SMART attributes should be enough.  That will show whether any values are indicating potential issues.

So that's that syslog looks like :( Can't post the whole thing since it's millions of the same thing.  Tried to get a smart report, but /dev/sdd is missling alltogher!  I guess that's not a good sign :S

 

Could this possibly be a bad cable issue? Or am I completely screwed and the drive is gone and all data lost :(

Sigh.  So restarted the server and now disk6 says "unformatted" with a redball.  This is the smart report:

 

Is there any hope for data recovery?  Even if it's just the file lists.  Thanks!

zip the syslog. It should be small enough to attach. The report looks fine.
