First time unraid builder. had it working in a test environment, now wanting to build the real server.

 

Ran the Preclear script on 2 brand new drives and have questions on my results.

 

1. First drive is a western digital ws20ears with the jumper set. The script runs but gives me this message after.

 

 

S.M.A.R.T. error count differences detected after pre-clear

note, some 'raw' values may change, but not be an indication of a problem

2. drive is a samsung HD204UI with the latest patch installed. I ran the script last friday, been out sick till today so did not get to check it at all until now. The script is still running. It says Post-Read in progress: 70% complete. It has been running 114:35:21. Any thoughts on why it would be taking so long?

 

Like I said before, these are 2 new drives. Took them out of package and put them in my server.

 

Thanks!

Are there any sectors pending re-allocation?

Are there any sectors already re-allocated?

Are there any SMART parameters that are marked as FAILING_NOW?

Are there any SMART parameters where the normalized VALUE is nearing the failure THRESHOLD?

 

If you don't know what to look for, this might help.

Hello.  First time post here.  Just getting started with unRAID.  Ultimately this new system will replace my WHS. 

 

While awaiting the flash memory I ordered (waiting to register those for the PRO version),  I couldn't wait to build the server and get three of my "laying around" hard drives online... to play with.

 

I downloaded/installed 4.7-beta1  (because I want to avoid the jumper issues when formatting, etc),  and installed unMenu, mail, etc.

 

Ran pre_clear on all three of the drives.  One of them reports as a "known" issue -- a Seagate 7200.11  (SDA)

 

Model Family:    Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 family

Device Model:    ST3750330AS

Serial Number:    5QK0169W

Firmware Version: SD04

 

But when I check Seagate's website,  there is nothing for my serial number, nor my firmware.  Googling,  I've read stories of those who have bricked this drive upgrading the firmware when it was not advised/listed on the Seagate website.

 

Attached is the pre-clear results from Seagate SDA (ST3750330AS), and the Western Digital SDB and SDC  (B = WD5000AAKS, C = WD5000AAJS )

 

I'm not sure how to read these results.  I know these were removed from 'active' service awhile back...  (being 700, 500 and 500 gb respectively -- they had been upgraded in the WHS server to larger drives.  I now have the ability with my new build to use them again...)

 

Some of the results come back as "Pre-fail" or "Old_age",  and again, not sure how to interpret this data -- informational?  Of concern?  Example:

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAG     VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE      UPDATED  WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate     0x000f   200   200   051    Pre-fail  Always       -       0
3 Spin_Up_Time            0x0003   191   167   021    Pre-fail  Always       -       5433
4 Start_Stop_Count        0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       38
5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   0x0033   200   200   140    Pre-fail  Always       -       0
7 Seek_Error_Rate         0x000e   200   200   051    Old_age   Always       -       0

 

So I guess I have three basic questions:

 

1) If Seagate's website for that drive comes back, by serial number, and doesn't have anything listed for my current firmwared of SD04 -- should I just leave it be?

 

2) The SMARTS info about "Pre-fail" or "Old_age" -- how should I interpret it?

 

3) And if anyone sees anything else 'weird' in the pre_clear report,  I would be grateful for the education.

I ran preclear 3 times on my Seagate drive (Firmware Version: CC34). I have some Raw_Read_Error_Rate errors. I think the drive is fine because on the second and third preclears the value only changed by 1. I wanted to double check since this will be my parity drive.

 

1st Preclear:

<  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate    0x000f  100  100  006    Pre-fail  Always      -      143233

>  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate    0x000f  118  100  006    Pre-fail  Always      -      199111887

 

2nd Preclear:

<  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate    0x000f  118  100  006    Pre-fail  Always      -      199127430

>  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate    0x000f  117  100  006    Pre-fail  Always      -      1596701

 

3rd Preclear:

<  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate    0x000f  117  100  006    Pre-fail  Always      -      159764581

>  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate    0x000f  116  100  006    Pre-fail  Always      -      115106924

 

Is this something the firmware upgrade to CC35 would help solve? I have attached the system logs just in-case the drive is not fine or more info is needed. Thanks

Only the manufacturer knows how to interpret the "raw" results for most attributes.  Read error rates especially.

 

You and I use the "normalized" values.  As long as they are above the affiliated failure threshold, they are fine.

The faliure threshold is 006

You started out with a value of 100.

It INCREASED from 100 (got better) when the first pre-clear and finished with a value of 118.  It has the starting to average downward, now at 116, but still better than the factory initialized value of 100.  Remember, it has to drop to 6 before the SMART firmware will consider the drive to have failed.

 

Please download the newer preclear_disk.sh script.  (Just posted a few days ago) as it has a much easier

output format for less-experienced users such as yourself.   

 

Upgrading the disk firmware to fix a bug is usually a good idea.  Drive manufacturers rarely issue updates unless their problems are very serious.

Thanks Joe, I'll go ahead and download the new script.

I'm preclearing a 2Tb EARS drive and letting it go through three consecutive cycles.  The first cycle took 28 hours, the second 20 hours, and the third cycle seems to be going even quicker.  The test is currently in Post-Read going at about 110 MB/s at 10% complete.  I don't remember that high a speed for the first two cycles.  Disk temp is 23 degrees C.

 

Is it normal for preclear cycles to speed up like they seem to be.  Is this a bad sign that parts of the disk have been marked bad by a prior cycle?  I guess I'll find out sometime after midnight tonight but I wanted to see what you all thought.

 

Thanks

The first cycle does a pre-read, a write, and a post read.

Subsequent consecutive cycles perform a "write" and a post-read.  (They get to skip the pre-read since the post-read of the prior cycle acts as the pre-read for the next "write". )

 

This feature is new on recent versions of the pre-clear script.  It used to always do the pre-read on every cycle when asked to perform multiple cycles and they all took the same time.

 

So... the 8 hours difference is easily explained.  It was the initial pre-read  on the first cycle.

I precleared 2 of my WD 2TB EARS drives.  1st one precleared with no errors, but the second one reported that it failed SMART after preclearing.  In looking at the log, I'm assuming the "Reallocated_Sector_Ct" is not a good sign.

 

I didn't jumper these drives, but failed to use the "-A" when running preclear.

 

Should I try running preclear on this drive again, or just go ahead and plan on RMA'ing it. 

 

Also, will it matter if I didn't use the "-A" option and not jumper the drives?

RMA the drive.  It has failed the pre-clear.  It has major problems in reading the disk.  Be very happy you did not install it in your server.  The re-allocated sector value of 50 is below the failure-threshold for that parameter of 140.

Thanks Joe.  That's what I thought.  That's the 2nd of the 3 drives I got from Newegg I'll have to RMA.  :(

 

The other drive turned out perfect.  Should I bother doing another preclear on the good drive, and this time use the "-A" option since I'm not jumpering it?

 

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

If you pre-cleared it already, and it was not yet assigned to the array, and you pre-cleared it without a jumper, you can use:

preclear_disk.sh -C 64 /dev/sdX

(where sdX = your disks's device)

It will convert the pre-clear signature to use a starting sector of 64. It only takes a few seconds.  It will only convert if it is currently "precleared" and you did not change the jumper setting since you cleared it.

 

If not, use the "-A" option and run it through another cycle.

Okay.  I'll do that.  Thanks again for all the help.

Hi you might remember me from fun posts such as "Why is my 2tb drive reporting as 1tb" and "I had to format this drive in partition magic to get all my space on a new drive wtf"

 

Anyways 2 of my 3 drives have finished a 5 pass preclear,  and as far as I see I think I am good. If I didnt have the formatting issue I'd just jam ahead, but thought why not ask. :)

So if we're good I am going to replace my parity drive and 1 data drive. Are my next steps to replace parity, rebuild, then replace a data drive, and rebuild one more time?

 

thanks all!

Looks good. 

 

I added two steps to your proposed upgrade procedure.

 

next steps to replace parity, rebuild,

perform parity check to ensure written parity is readable

then replace a data drive, and rebuild one more time

then perform parity check to make sure data drive written is readable/

Would you run the check that doesn't correct correct errors, or can I just hit check on the stock UNRAID page?

 

Many thanks as always Joe.

Good question.

 

I'd use the stock one when checking the parity drive and the NOCORRECT one when checking the data drive.

(Otherwise, it might use an un-readable data drive to potentially update parity)

 

You could use the NOCORRECT for both, but it does no harm if it fixes parity when checking the quality of the initial load of the parity drive.
