March 27, 201511 yr The backup server is running 3 days now, doing rsync backup. Last night it was about time to write to disk5 which is an elderly WD2001FASSS (2TB) drive. I remember having had trouble with that drive but the recent preclear passed fine and I decided to use the drive in the backup rig. This morning I checked the progress before leaving and found lots of writes on the drive (according to the GUI) but the drive itself is shown empty. Triggered the spin-up for all disks and, although the disk shows green it doesn't report SMART values. I logged into console and found "disk5 I/O error". Checked cabling and all is seated properly. The disk may have passed out - I don't care, but the issue is that the GUI is not reporting it. I'll grab a syslog and some screenshots when I'm home again. If you need more Info, tell me now, as I will then shut down the server and remove the drive.
March 27, 201511 yr Thank you for reporting. I will forward to Tom for review and fix. May need a syslog from you.
March 27, 201511 yr Probably related: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38552.0 Don't think it is related, here it looks like an incorrect system detection, not the GUI itself.
March 29, 201511 yr Author Sorry for the late reply, here is the syslog. I had to cut some of the errors because it was too big to post. Meanwhile I restarted the server and the mentioned 2TB drive has reported back. I will keep an eye on that drive and see if it fails again. syslog_excerpt1.zip
