Extended self test under Dynamix expected duration? Dropped parity arg


NAS

Recommended Posts

Long story short my parity disk complained of errors and when I went to investigate it was dropped out and I couldn't access it. Not good but not the first time in my life ive seen a disk drop adn not actually be broken.

 

So after a reboot the disk is back but not part of array. Obviously next test was a short self test which passed. In fact at this point if i hadnt seen it dropped I wouldn't have thought anything was wrong.

 

Stupidly though I decided to run the extended self test under dynamix rather than console  (stupid as in doing it for the first time via the gui on a questionable disk rather than stick to what i know).

 

Its been stuck/sitting on 10% for about 30mins now. Is this lack of feedback/progress expected? Is this actually running what I thinki it is "smartctl --test=long ?"

 

Open to any thoughts.

 

For reference so far:

Seconds before oyu posted this I clicked away absent mindely.

 

However I would have expected this to work still

# 1  Short offline       Completed without error       00%      3580         -

 

Do you know off hand of any way to recover progress?

Looks like my array has come up without parity which is fine because i wouldnt trust it anyway howrever this has kicked in the spin down

 

So I believe the spin down has killed the smartctl test

 

Sanity check:

 

smartctl -l selftest /dev/sde

This is interesting. Even though -l shows nothing trying to kick off a new one shows progress:

 

# smartctl -t long /dev/sde
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-3.18.5-unRAID] (local build)

=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Can't start self-test without aborting current test (80% remaining),
add '-t force' option to override, or run 'smartctl -X' to abort test.

Better way:

 

# smartctl -c /dev/sde

For what it is worth every now and again Dynamix would realise a smart test was happening and catch the progress again. Its strange.

 

I believe this can happen depending on the status messages returned by SMART, but need to look into the code for details, can't tell top of my head since this part was written some time ago ...
