My disc4 is know read only, and I don't know what s going on :-(

 

Can some one look at my logfile and the smart report ?

 

EDIT

 

All data is gone on my disc4 :-( but that disc was only old data so its OK but it looks like unRAID have damage my discs, I have attached my other smart logfiles for my other discs....

 

INFO

reiserfs_open: Your partition is not big enough to contain the

filesystem of (366284637) blocks as was specified in the found super block.

Failed to open the filesystem.

 

If the partition table has not been changed, and the partition is

valid  and  it really  contains  a reiserfs  partition,  then the

superblock  is corrupted and you need to run this utility with

--rebuild-sb.

 

EDIT 2

 

The only thing I have done today was that I copied some files to the disc4 share inside my windows PC ( PC- > disk4) can that make problems ?

One more thing! i have enabled the NFS SHARE, but that should not cause this problem ? or ?

 

Ok, I tried the reiserfsck tools, and did exactly what that told me, and it's looks now I have all my files back 

 

I attached new smart files and a log file, BYT I think there are some more bad things .....

This Gigabyte HPA problem is really starting to get tiresome.  It looks to me as if the partition was formatted for ReiserFS BEFORE the Gigabyte board decided to install the HPA, which then clobbered the final sectors of the partition, and caused the Reiser file system to have the wrong maximum sector count.  So all of the errors and Reiser file corruption were because of attempts to write to sectors that the file system thought were valid and a part of its partition, but were actually now out of range, within the HPA.  I believe running reiserfsck has corrected that, but you now have a lost+found folder in the root of Disk 4, and you will have to examine it for files to be recovered/renamed/moved back.  I think I would run reiserfsck one more time, to ensure the file system is fine.

 

It does seem a little strange that those sectors were being accessed.  Were you possibly trying to fill the drive completely, even the last megabyte?  The way that modern file systems work, especially tail-packing ones like ReiserFS, it is best not to use the last 1%, in my inexpert opinion.  I would welcome other opinions on this.

Hi RobJ 

 

The stranage thing is that when I started to copy the files, the 1.5TB disc was almost empty, perhaps I have around 100GB data on it. And the  data I moved to that disc was about 200GB, but it fails when it have gone 50%, so it was plenty of space, so this is strange. And it not he firts time this disc is strange, Perhaps I should move this disck to my PC and remove the HPA on it?

It must have been something that the Reiser file system was doing then, storing things at the end of the partition.  Since you have run reiserfsck successfully, I think the drive should be OK from now on.  Let us know.

Is this right ? when using hdparm ?

 

root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sde

 

/dev/sde:

max sectors   = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid

 

When doing this on different disc I got this

root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdb

 

/dev/sdb:

max sectors   = 976773168/976773168, HPA is disabled

 

That looks more good to me

 

 

 

EDIT

 

Looking in the web browser for //Tower I see this for my disk4, it's now have the same size as my parity disc, so now it show max size

 

parity  ata-WDC_WD15EADS-00S2B0_WD-WCAVY0802799  30°C  1,465,138,552

disk4  ata-WDC_WD15EADS-00R6B0_WD-WCAVY0164770  30°C  1,465,138,552

 

Attached a smartctl log ....

 

And a syslog....

 

EDIT2

 

I'm started to copy 1TB data to that disc during the night and see what happens :-)

 

 

Hope some one can look into the 2 files and see if something is wrong.

 

But I cant understand when i run hdparm -N /dev/sde, the first set of numbers should show the max sector on the disc, very strange that the numbers are so BIG ( see above)

 

//Peter

I have copied a lot of file to the disc above, now have I installed a new disc, is the smarttest OK ?

also attached a new syslog if something is wrong someone perhaps can see that 

 

EDIT

 

Also attached a new smarttest for the old disc4 I have problem with before ( see above)

 

Have a nice day

Hi ,

 

My server have working great, but today, I copied some files to one disc share (from Windows to disc share) I have also made a windows backup to one disc share.

 

And after that the server was not responding, need to press off/on :-( and now after the server have started the parity checks is running, but all discs looks fine

 

For the past days when coping files to the server I use smbmount from the server to copy files and tah tlooks works best.

 

So it's looks like that could be a issue when doing the file copy inside windows, for that was the exactly that happens to me before when the server was saving files end of the disc, see post above

 

Is there a issue doing file copy from windows ? or its preferred to mount the files via server using smbmount ?
