SSD Errors in syslog

Featured Replies

Yesterday I replace my cache drive (single SSD) with a new matched pair. Formatted as RAID0, and copied everything back to the new cache. Everything seems to be working fine. Copy to and from no errors. Today I checked the syslog curious to see if there was anything regarding the new additions. I saw a bunch of these "warnings" which started up about 9 AM. Replaced the SATA cables, restarted and oddly enough I had lost Cache config. Was able to reset the 2 disks in order and everything appeared to be okay (dockers, folders etc). Now its 5 PM and I am seeing the warning/errors again. Help?

Since the errors are on both SSD devices and they share the Asmedia controller, I would start by trying in a different slot for it if available, if errors continue try a different controller.

Since the errors are on both SSD devices and they share the Asmedia controller, I would start by trying in a different slot for it if available, if errors continue try a different controller.

 

No new log entries since that bunch yesterday. Will keep an eye on it. Did a pretty big Mover move last night with no errors.

Yesterday I replace my cache drive (single SSD) with a new matched pair. Formatted as RAID0, and copied everything back to the new cache. Everything seems to be working fine. Copy to and from no errors. Today I checked the syslog curious to see if there was anything regarding the new additions. I saw a bunch of these "warnings" which started up about 9 AM.

According to the syslog excerpt you quoted, both drives appeared to be timing out on writes for a brief period, as if blocking them temporarily.  After a reset, they both worked fine.  I noticed though that a trim operation completed just after this, which would seem that it was running during those timeouts.  Is it possible that the trim was blocking writes until it finished?  You may want to make sure the trim is scheduled for off hours.

Yesterday I replace my cache drive (single SSD) with a new matched pair. Formatted as RAID0, and copied everything back to the new cache. Everything seems to be working fine. Copy to and from no errors. Today I checked the syslog curious to see if there was anything regarding the new additions. I saw a bunch of these "warnings" which started up about 9 AM. Replaced the SATA cables, restarted and oddly enough I had lost Cache config. Was able to reset the 2 disks in order and everything appeared to be okay (dockers, folders etc). Now its 5 PM and I am seeing the warning/errors again. Help?

Sep 27 16:05:15 Tower root: /mnt/cache: 399.7 GiB (429127376896 bytes) trimmed

 

According to the syslog excerpt you quoted, both drives appeared to be timing out on writes for a brief period, as if blocking them temporarily.  After a reset, they both worked fine.  I noticed though that a trim operation completed just after this, which would seem that it was running during those timeouts.  Is it possible that the trim was blocking writes until it finished?  You may want to make sure the trim is scheduled for off hours.

 

interesting observation. In fact I was curious if/how Trim worked on a raid0 pool and had set it to Hourly to see. Once I saw that it appears to treat both drives as one (only one output message?), I switched it back to daily.

Trim is always done on the whole cache pool.

I am now getting what look like a lot severe errors today. Of course I am in the middle of a parity rebuild so I can't take it offline. The errors start at about 6 AM when TRIM ran on schedule. I got a error warning email from unRaid but didn't see it until after 8AM.

 

subject: cron for user root /sbin/fstrim -v /mnt/cache | logger &> /dev/null

body: fstrim: /mnt/cache: FITRIM ioctl failed: Input/output error

 

Went and looked at log and found it struggling with one of the pair of SSDs in RAID0. WTF is going on here? Is the disk bad? Is the RAID0 setup corrupt?

 

I have turned off Docker service to avoid any problems until I can fix this.

Second question, assuming first error post is resolved, is it possible to return to default RAID1 for Cache without backing up & restoring contents of Cache?

You can revert back to RAID1 but one of your SSDs dropped offline, you have to fix that first.

 

I also may want try and fix the constant timeout errors you're getting on the SSDs or you'll have issues again.

 

If you didn't yet try changing cables, if it continuous replace the asmedia controller.

Both SSDs still show as green Cache & Cache 2 in webgui (odd). You would think there would be some red ball action or something. I swapped cables last time. The asmedia is the 2 onboard SATAIII ports. Oddly enough I have always used one of them when I had 1 SSD and left the other for slightly faster preclears. I will try moving both SSDs to HBA ports once parity is done rebuilding.

That's normal for the cache pool, usually the only clue is the lack of temperature info on that device (if supported), it can appear unmountable after a reboot, but if it's raid0 it's to late to back it up.

 

Make sure you also swap power cables, not just SATA.

After much shuffling (in process of replacing parity & 2 data drives AND getting cache to settle down), I have ended up with the 2 SSD on SATA2 ports on the motherboard. When connected to the HBA as planned,cron sent me an error about TRIM*, so moved them to mobo, SATA2.

 

Now on to converting back to default raid1 cache pool. I ran the Balance command "-dconvert=raid1 -mconvert=raid1" and that seemed to split them back out to mirrors and I now show 275 GB total space as expected. However I think I am reading here that something is stuck in raid0 format? How to I fix this? Backup & reformat? Rerun Balance?

Try balancing again.
