Disk 2 failed - attached log file. Normal for parity to say "Data is invalid"?

Featured Replies

Hello, I am running Unraid v6.1.9 (Upgraded from 5 on August 21 2016)

 

I recently noticed disk 2 with errors on the main screen and then finally last week I got the Red X and it's disabled.

 

I have since ordered a new drive to replace it but I thought I would post the diagnosis files here to confirm it is in fact dead.

 

Also, I want to confirm the following; On the dashboard, parity shows "Data is invalid". This is because disk 2 is out of the array? Last successful parity check was on September 1st (I have it scheduled to run monthly)

 

 

I've attached the diagnosis, the drive in question is;

Thanks, i'm afraid to bring this up but I was checking the wiki and forum out and I noticed something that popped out. Pending sectors...

 

My disk 3 & Disk 4 have a ton of those and it sounds like my parity might not be valid for the rebuild of disk 2... say it ain't so.

 

Disk 3: WD-WCAZA8997232

Disk 4: WD-WCAVY1930651

I would shut the server down until you get that new disk.  Then try to rebuilt the new disk with current parity.  It will either work or it won't.  (Those pending sectors may still be readable.)  You will not have lost anything by trying.  And don't do anything with the disk you take out.  In many cases, you can recover a lot of the files on those  disks...

You must be the 5th or 6th person this week that is running v6 and never bothered to setup Notifications :o

 

You would have gotten notified by email about all those disk problems. In fact, you should have seen some indications on the Dashboard that things weren't looking good.

 

Notifications is one of the most critical features of v6. Way too many people this week who just set it and forget it until they accidentally discover they are past the point of no return.

Thank you, i'm going to get the hard drive today. I also bought another 3TB drive because i'm running out of space.

 

So the way i'm going to try this;

1. Preclear 2 TB replacement hard drive

2. assign it to disk 2, let it rebuild

3. sidemount dead drive, compare data

4. Preclear 3TB new drive (This will be my nrw parity)

5. once rebuild is finished, assign 3TB as parity

6. Let parity rebuild

7. use spare 2TB (old parity drive) to clear out pending sectors

 

Does that make sense? I have 2 weeks worth of work ahead of me lol

I think this should come set up as the default.  I have mine set up now, but it's one of those "learned the hard way" lessons. 

Flixx, you will have some problems recovering the data if your parity is invalid.  Make sure you pull the bad drives and only power them up if you need to pull data.  The normal copy command will not work with drives that have bad sectors.  I found that the "dd" command with the conv=noerror will give you the best chances of recovering your data.  Apparently FAT32 is the only file system that can remap bad sectors on a disk.  fsck will only label them as bad, so if you have large files written across these bad blocks/sectors, they will be unable to be read or restored.  Just some things I learned the past week when this happened to me.

My notifications are set to on for the alerts only.

I am nearly at 100% disk space and when i enable any other type of notifications (notices or warnings) I get flooded with emails about my 11 hard drives being out of space...

 

Furthermore, On the dashboard I do have the exclamation mark next to smart status. When I click it, I get in green letters next to "Last SMART test results" = "Completed without errors" which obviously is misleading.

There are some items in orange below but when they say things like "pending" or "reallocation", they are not alarming words... besides the summary above says everything is A ok.

 

Finally, I've been running V5 for years, I've had drives fail on me and replaced with no issue and a pending sector was never something that i've seen brought up or ever mentioned.

This leads me to believe that either V6 introduced this new issue somehow or that the issue was there all along  and unraid is not as reliable of a software raid as it's believed to be - Because who knows what V7 will realise was missed all along with the previous versions

 

Flixx, you will have some problems recovering the data if your parity is invalid.  Make sure you pull the bad drives and only power them up if you need to pull data.  The normal copy command will not work with drives that have bad sectors.  I found that the "dd" command with the conv=noerror will give you the best chances of recovering your data.  Apparently FAT32 is the only file system that can remap bad sectors on a disk.  fsck will only label them as bad, so if you have large files written across these bad blocks/sectors, they will be unable to be read or restored.  Just some things I learned the past week when this happened to me.

 

Thank you, I really hope I don't have to go down this route but i'll look into the DD command nonetheless.

You will only get that email once per disk.

You will only get that email once per disk.

And you can set the threshold on a per disk basis.

The data rebuild on the failed drive was succesful

 

I started working on the pending sectors on my disk 3 and disk 4 following the wiki by removing the disk, starting array, stopping array and re-adding the disk.

Disk 3 had 1 pending sector. It now has 0 but Reallocated sector count still shows 1 and there is an alert for that disk because of it.

Disk 4 is in the process of rebuilding, although it just started an hour ago, the pending sectors already went frolm 188 down to 24.

 

How can I remove the alert for the reallocated sector number?

Just click on it on the dashboard and acknowledge it.  You won't be notified again unless it changes

Thanks, that's been done...

So now a new issue appeared..

 

Since my last report, disk 4 data reconstruction was a success and i now have 0 pending sectors.

So, to recap, i replaced the failed disk 2 and fixed the pending sectors on the other  disk 3 and disk4.

 

Now I can finally focus on my original intent, which was to upgrade my parity drive to a larger disk.

Last night, I installed my 3tb drive, removed the 2tb parity from the configuration and added the 3 tb one.

I started the parity rebuild... This morning Disk 1 had 69 read errors and now has 1 pending sector on it.

 

I am now redoing a parity check.
