So I manually ran a parity check a couple days ago and when it finished I got the email notification from unRAID saying as such.  When I ran the parity check, I decided NOT to "Write corrections to parity disk."  The status notification email says:

Event: unRAID Parity check

Subject: Notice [TOWER] - Parity check finished

Description: Duration: 11 hours, 23 minutes, 22 seconds<br>Average speed: 97.6 MB/sec

Importance: normal

The strange part is that the parity check found 388 sync errors.  I was not warned in any way about the sync errors and only found out when I looked at the web GUI today.

 

It seems if one decides to not to write corrections to parity, that whether or not there are sync errors unRAID assumes and then notifies that the parity was successful.  The parity check did finish successfully, but I think it would be prudent to warn users when there are sync errors. 

 

I have my tower set to run parity checks monthly and I have it set NOT to correct the parity data if errors are found.  I do this because if one of my hard drives fails I don't want parity to be overwritten with bad data.  When I get sync errors I always go through and do the best job I can to determine what caused the sync errors before I rerun the parity check to correct the sync errors.

 

Could unRAID please be updated to warn users through notifications about sync errors even when the parity data is not corrected?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Error count has been added.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Sweet.
