Last week I was messing with my cache drive when things got all out of whack.  My shares all vanished and things were not right till I rebooted.  However, because I was messing with my docker config folder on the cache drive only, I thought the issue was with the cache drive causing the entire array and its shares to stop sharing.  At the time I replaced the cache drive, rebooted and got going again.

 

Until last night that is, when I was creating a new folder on one of my shares.  I was using my windows 10 computer, created new folder, but when I tried to rename it, windows reported I needed permissions to do so.  I then tried going to one of my other shares when it started to prompt for credentials.  This was the same behavior as last week and suddenly I knew. 

 

I pulled down the diagnostics and rebooted, at which time order was restored.  However, this is two weeks in a row that my shares simply stopped sharing, forcing me to reboot.

 

One thing to note is that I could access the individual disks fine still, it what just the share themselves that were suddenly broken.

 

The diagnostic file is within 5-10 minutes of noticing what was going on.

Disk6 has this:

197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0032   001   001   000    Old_age   Always       -       65530

An unbelievable number so not sure what happened, but I wouldn't trust it anymore. Have you got another disk to rebuild to?

yes, I do.  Do you suspect this as the culprit then or just something you saw?

 

in the mean time, I am shutting down and replacing the disk

You had a pretty large syslog mostly read errors on disk6

Hmm. Wonder if that's also why I have been seeing my log partition filling up then.  Seems to only make sense as I wouldn't expect it otherwise.

 

In the past I just ran the command to increase it to 256mb. Guess maybe it got sick of throwing errors and started breaking so I took a closer look.

 

Good news is the drive replacement yields an extra tb of storage.

 

Thanks. 

 

If it does it again,  I'll report it Beck here.
