HellDiverUK Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 You can tell unraid to ignore that SMART attribute. The only issue is the default setting of monitoring that attribute. Shouldn't have to. How many people will replace drives because they've seen this error coming up, and not come on to the forums and found this thread? This needs fixed ASAP. Quote Link to comment

It’s not clear to me how important this attribute is, all my Seagate drives are at 0, if this value starts increasing regularly I’d like to know, but you can disable that attribute notification from the SMART notifications settings.

There is no problem with UnRaid nor with seagates. Stating that unRaid has issues with seagate drives is wildly inaccurate. There are a few issues with the current state of smart monitoring and its reporting of which there is a thread with the debates going on and a beta release of updated monitoring program. FUD is not alleviated by statements such as yours Quote Link to comment
FrozenGamer Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Has anyone tried harvesting one of these drives from one of the external enclosures? I didn't see anyone anwering this question yet. I just ordered 5 from amazon, i have precleared one successfully, i am not sure if these smart values are ok though. Can anyone comment -? Is anyone using the harvested drives yet? I am hesitant to use, but would love to have the increased capacity. ================================================================== 1.15b = unRAID server Pre-Clear disk /dev/sdv = cycle 1 of 1, partition start on sector 1 = Disk Pre-Clear-Read completed DONE = Step 1 of 10 - Copying zeros to first 2048k bytes DONE = Step 2 of 10 - Copying zeros to remainder of disk to clear it DONE = Step 3 of 10 - Disk is now cleared from MBR onward.

BRiT Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Post the full SMART report not the preclear report which only lists a few attributes which have changed from before to after the preclear run. However what preclear reports it looks good. Most of the attributes it detetcted changed are manufacturer specific where onky they know the meaning behind the raw value setting, but the normalized values seem to be far from the error values.

ohlwiler Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hey FrozenGamer, I have eight of these drives and I've been watching their health very closely. The only thing that struck me was your Raw Read Error Rate is a little high. As long as the raw errors are correctable then everything is good, but I calculated the Normalized error Rate for my own interest. Normalized Read Error (this is my own metric) = 1000*(Raw Read Error Rate)/(Total LBAs Read) These values range from .15 (best) to 2.45 (worst) for me. Yours was 1.17. I doubt it will predict anything, but I'm keeping an eye on this metric over time. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I'm sorry but that field does NOT work that way. FrozenGamer, your Raw Read Error rate is fine and it has actually IMPROVED after your preclear. The old value was 99, the new value is 111. The error value threshold is when it's at 6. Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 111 099 006 Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Raw Read Error is essentially something you can completely ignore on Seagates. ALL drives encounter a lot of raw read errors ... but they're all corrected with the ECC info stored with the data. Most manufacturers only report the normalized values (i.e. ignoring all the corrected errors) ... so, for example, if you look at the SMART report for a WD drive you'll almost always see a zero for this value. Seagate reports every error -- so EVERY Seagate disk will have a large number of errors shown. As long as the "Value" column doesn't drop to a low number (as noted above, the threshold is 6), there's nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment

I'm using all internals. I'm not opposed shucking to externals, but I only do so when I can save 15-20%. I knew my statement about Raw Read Error Rate would prove provocative, which is why I said this: I doubt it will predict anything, but I'm keeping an eye on this metric over time.

ohlwiler Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I took a closer look at my Raw Read Error Rate data and discovered it doesn't work that way I thought. Maybe there is some kind of moving average going on, who knows. I will instead focus on the the "Value" field as it relates to the "Worst" and "Threshold". Quote Link to comment

Never harvested a disk from an external HDD enclosure before mainly due to warranty considerations. Good choice. I'm definitely not a believer in harvesting drives. A potential few $$ saved is definitely not worth losing warranty coverage 'nor taking the chance there may be some firmware limitations [which some manufacturers have done with their external drives].

I have two ST8000AS0002's arriving today (and a USB drive and a 1tb Samsung 850 Pro). Haven't even used UnRAID yet haha. I will aim to use the faster preclear script you mentioned. How do I go about running the longer SMART test? Are there any other checks/tests you'd recommend? I'm selling off 8 4tb drives with plans to replace with a further 4 8tb drives. All in all my array will be 40tb (5x8), a single 8tb parity and the Samsung as a cache Quote Link to comment

All in all my array will be 40tb (5x8), a single 8tb parity and the Samsung as a cache Hi KuniD. Firstly welcome to unRAID! You're going to love v6 and remember your best source of information is this community! Loads of Help! Your Plan sounds like a reasonable one! Given you're new to unRAID I know what its like to read through all the available information so Ill try and consolidate and give you as complete an answer as I can and hopefully it gives you some good pointers on preparing your disks ONLY!. I will caveat also by saying this is just my opinion and I am sure (and know of) others who would disagree with me. Also, make sure you follow the individual guides to ensure you / I haven't missed anything! Clearing data disks is a requirement of using unRAID. unRAID will clear the disks for you if you deploy disks into the array uncleared BUT your array (and the GUI) will become unresponsive during that time. I believe when you clear the disks in this way unRAID does 1 pre read, one write of zeros and one post read. I am also not sure if unRAID does or even can execute clears simultaneously which might mean you have to wait for quite a while for your Array of GUI to be accessible again. For an 8TB drive this would take a while anyway. That being said, clearing your disks is a fundamental step to ensuring that your disks are ready for deployment and are suitable for the rigours of deployment in a NAS. So .... Preclear your disks!! One of the benefits of using the preclear script is that the Array and the GUI does not become unresponsive and is usable throughout the process. Others include, being able to check the status of the clear, being able to execute more than 1 clear cycle (which to be fair you WANT to do to ensure that your disks get a real and true workout before you use them) and also if there is something "wrong" with the drives a good preclear workout will undoubtedly expose these issues and allow you to RMA the drive ASAP (and in most cases if you do it quick enough take it back to the vendor you bought it from and skipping the RMA process). With pre clearing your disks you can also execute multiple clears at the same time! The two ways I have used are: - Normal: Download the preclear script (Official - http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2817.0) OR Faster Unofficial - http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=32564.0) follow the instructions in the README in the instructions OR those I posted earlier in this thread. Note also that there are more switches you can use (e.g. skipping post reads and email notifications etc) BUT I have never used them. Note that if you want to execute multiple clears at the same time (which I have done successfully - and is almost impressive I think if you're clearing such large drives) then you will have to utilise a tool called SCREEN (a tool that allows you to execute commands via telnet and drop and rejoin terminal sessions) and multiple terminal sessions OR - New: Install the preclear Plugin (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39985.0). Note: I know the thread suggests that it is in BETA but I believe it to be very stable and would not hesitate to use it again. Download the preclear script (as noted above) you want to use and follow the instructions (note that if you do use the faster one with the plugin you will have to name the script "preclear_disk.sh" anyway) in the thread. Once you're on the GUI it is very intuitive. One of the benefits of using the Plugin over the script from the command line is that you can execute all the actions from the GUI without dropping to the command line. In addition you can watch the status (which appears next to the disk) and know how long you likely have to wait. You can "peek - via the eye icon" at the actual terminal output of the script AND you can execute multiple clears easily without having to use command line tools such as SCREEN or the need to start 2 terminal sessions! Which ever way you decide to go I hope you follow a strict preclear regime for your disks to ensure that they are prepared for deployment in your Array and doing their job, hosting and holding your precious data. For your information I do the following: 1. Install the preclear Plugin. 2. Download the "Faster" prelcear script and put it in the dir as instructed by the preclear Plugin instructions (remembering to rename it). 3. Install the disks. 4. Execute a S.M.A.R.T. Short test (See screenshot). 5. Execute the preclear by clicking on the preclear icon on the Main Tab for EACH of your disks using the following settings: - 3 cycles*; - enable fast post read. *note that 3 cycles will take a LONG time (as I note in my results and posts above) but it is worth it. I would also make sure that your server can be uninterrupted during this time. Interrupting a preclear is unfortunately something I have done and it can potentially harm your disks. 6. Live your life while you wait for the preclear cycles to complete. 7. Post the results of the preclear AND S.M.A.R.T reports on the Forum if you need help to interpret them. 8. Execute a S.M.A.R.T. Long (Extended) test** (See screenshot). **note that the S.M.A.R.T Long (Extended) Test will also take a while but no way near as long as a preclear cycle. 9. Follow step 7 again if you need to. 10. Once you're happy, configure your settings (if you have not done so already) and then add them to array slots and start to your Array! The preclear script adds a flag to the drive which indicates to unRAID that a clear has occurred and will NOT attempt to do it again. You asked specifically how to perform a Long (Extended) S.M.A.R.T test. Once the drives are installed and you've booted into unRAID click on the disk name (Which is a link - e.g Disk 1) which will bring up Disk Settings. In the third section down it is called "Self Test" In there you can press the button to execute the test you want to perform and also view the S.M.A.R.T attributes, download and view S.M.A.R.T and test reports etc (As noted see screenshot for help). Like I mentioned at the start of the post, if you have any questions read / post in the forum. If the answer isn't here it isn't anywhere! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment
KuniD Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for the detailed instructions! Would have taken me a lot longer to get my head around setting up the GUI preclear and fast script! I have the plugin and fast script installed and the SMART short tests have completed without error on both the ST8000AS0002's. I went to begin the 3 cycle preclear and I believe its errored as it comes up with the following: /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/preclear_disk.sh -c 3 -f -J /dev/sdc root@Ultron:/usr/local/emhttp# /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/preclear_disk.sh -c 3 -f -J /dev/sdc grep: /boot/config/disk.cfg: No such file or directory /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/preclear_disk.sh: line 1298: /boot/config/disk.cfg: No such file or directory I installed the preclear GUI plugin and transferred the fast script to the server. Looking at the boot USB I can't see a 'disk.cfg'. I haven't assigned the disks to the array yet, do I need to do this? Quote Link to comment
KuniD Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Ignore last message. Not sure what kicked it into gear ... I assigned the disks, it didn't like that (makes sense), so I un-assigned them then it worked. Now for the long wait. Quote Link to comment

KuniD Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Don't think you can preclear a disk once it's been added to the array. Whilst I had briefly assigned the drive I never turned on the array. Still unsure why it didn't allow me to do it before but did after. Quote Link to comment
