Disk 2 Read Errors - how to reset them?

[TomSerious]

Hello!

 

Sorry for this stupid question:

My Disk 2 (WD Red 6TB) has 73 read errors and unraid was able to "repair the errors".

Now my problem is that because of those 73 errors, every health report fails.

Is there a way to "reset" the error counter or something like that?

Or should I worry about those read errors? (SMART tests are okay [short and extended], I often write data onto it and there are no new read errors)

 

Thank you very much in advance!

 

Best regards

Rebooting will clear "Errors" on the unRAID GUI. (Maybe even stopping and starting the array will do it - not sure).

Every single one of those errors means that unRaid was unable to read a sector from the disk, so what it did was spinup all the other drives and re-wrote the contents of the sectors based upon the data on the other drives and the parity drive.

 

Reset it if you choose, but if / when you see another one, post up the diagnostics for people to see and properly advise.

What this means is that as far as the drive is concerned, it is ok.  But smart tests do not test the transfer of data to/from the server itself, so the implication is that this is the failure point.  Quite probably poor cabling connections.
