PARITY NOT VALID

Featured Replies

hi...

 

this morning my parity disk had some errors...so i did a restart and started a parity check.... after some time it stops with errors again... 

so, is the drive damaged??

 

 

The errors seem to be on ATA7 / SDF, which is your Cache disk.

i think it is the parity

 

cache device: pci-0000:02:00.0-ide-0:0 ide2 (hde) ata-IC35L120AVV207-1_VNVD07G4CNG7AL

parity device: pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 host7 (sdf) ata-SAMSUNG_HD154UI_S1XWJ9AS700382

 

do i need a new drive, or is this a software problem?

The only way to answer your question is for you to run a "smart" report on the drive and ask it to report on its health.

 

The errors you are seeing could be caused by a loose cable to the drive, (either data OR power) or a problem internal to the drive.

 

let us know the output of the following command:

smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sdf

 

If you are unable to get a report from the drive, stop the array, power down, and check the cabling for loose connections.  Then power back up and try once more to run the smartctl command.

 

If the drive is still un-responsive, try a different cable.  If still un-responsive, it is time for an RMA.

Oops, you're right. That is indeed your parity disk. I'm not sure why I thought it was cache disk. As to why or what the errors mean, I don't know.

i had to reboot the system because the smart report said that it could not find a drive...

... after the reboot the parity appear as new....and smart reports the following:

should i start the system and do a parity check?

Since the drive seems to be fine I'd suspect cabling to it as the cause of its outage.  I'd power down, then re-seat the cables, then power back up.

 

If it still responds with a smartctl report, then you are a prime candidate for the trust my parity disk procedure as described in the wiki

http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Make_unRAID_Trust_the_Parity_Drive,_Avoid_Rebuilding_Parity_Unnecessarily

 

Let the resulting parity check complete.  It may find errors if you wrote to the array prior to shutting it down (and shutting it down writes to the housekeeping area of each disk, so you will have some small number of errors near the start of the parity check regardless of what you do)  It must complete and update the parity disk, so do not stop it prior to its completion.

 

Once it has completed a "check" press the button once more, the second "check" should find no errors (and hopefully your parity disk will still be on-line at its completion)
