New drive already dead?

Featured Replies

Just finished up this new unRAID.

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2031.msg59139#msg59139

 

I got a notification today that array was down. Few minutes after I got another saying it was up again.

When I checked logs it was polluted with

 

md: disk8: ATA_OP_STANDBYNOW1 ioctl error: -5
mdcmd (23751): spindown 8

 

I went to the web console but everything looked fine. Decided to spin-up all the drives. Disk8 won't and it doesn't report any temperature.

md: disk8: ATA_OP_STANDBYNOW1 ioctl error: -5
mdcmd (23752): spinup 0
mdcmd (23753): spinup 1
mdcmd (23754): spinup 2
mdcmd (23755): spinup 3
mdcmd (23756): spinup 4
mdcmd (23757): spinup 5
mdcmd (23758): spinup 6
mdcmd (23759): spinup 7
mdcmd (23760): spinup 8
md: disk8: ATA_OP_SETIDLE1 ioctl error: -5
mdcmd (23761): spinup 9

 

I then received another notification regarding a faulty drive.

This drive doesn't contain any data so I stopped the array and unassigned it. I can start the array but without any protection. This drive is connected to the Adaptec 1430SA. Next step is to identify the root cause (cable, power supply, drive, SATA card, memory...).

 

Any recommendations on where to start?

 

Stay tuned!

un-assigning the drive does not remove it from the array.  It is exactly the same to unRAID as a failed drive until you save a new configuration or replace it with a new drive.

 

What I'm trying to say is you are currently un-protected from a second drive failure.  You can test this by attempting to read or write tot he drive you just un-assigned.  You'll see it is still possible.  Aided by parity and the remaining data drives.

 

It is not unusual for a drive to fail early in its life.  It is just as easy for a cable (either data OR power) to work itself loose with changes in heat and/or vibration.

 

Step 1.  Before you do anything more, post a syslog.  It will give some clue as to how the drive went offline.

 

Step 2.  Try to get a smart report on the drive.  From what you've said, odds are it will not respond.

 

Step 3. Stop the array, power down, re-seat the cables to the drive.  Power back up, if you are lucky you'll now be able to get a smart report.  If it does not show any problems with the drive's health, you can stop the array and re-assign it.

When you next Start the array, by pressing start, the disk will be re-constructed.  Do NOT press the button labeled "restore" as it is actually a "Delete Existing Disk Configuration and Parity" button.

 

If you do wish to leave the un-assigned disk out of the array because there is no data on it and you will not be replacing it, then you will want to press the button labeled as "restore" because it is a "Delete Existing Disk Configuration and Parity" function.  After pressing it you may then press the "Start" button which will set a new disk configuration based on the then assigned and working disks, and the array will begin a full parity calculation on those disks.  You will not have parity protection again until that is complete.

 

Be careful working in your server.  Try not to dislodge other cables, as then you'll have multiple failed drives and it is more difficult to recover from that situation. (you might lose your ability to re-construct from parity)

 

Do NOT press a "Format" button if you see one.  if you do have a replacement disk, and the original failed, after installing the replacement all you need to to get back running is to press the "Start" button.  (you might need to check the checkbox under it to enable it)

Thanks Joe. For safety reasons, my unRAID was turned off the rest of the day.

 

I'm going to investigate the hardware. In the meantime here is my syslog: http://natzo.com/logs/syslog-20100423-145542.txt

The first error seems to be here:

Basically the drive timed out where given a command and even though the driver tried several times to reset it, it could not.

Powered up the machine and guess what, drive is showing up again. I re-assigned it and got the following reports:

From now I can decide to re-assign and re-construct the array. However I'm a little bit scared about that situation considering I could put into danger the integrity of the array if another drive fails. I really don't know which hardware component made the drive not to respond to commands (drive itself, Adaptec 1430SA, power...). At that point I would appreciate any advice on what to do.

 

Thanks

Alphazo

 

PS: I ran a short Smart Test and it went well. I'm now running a Long Smart Test.

I'd let the long test complete, then

Stop the array

Re-assign the drive

Use the "Trust-my-parity" procedure as described in the wiki

after pressing the "restore" button and BEFORE you press "Start" make sure you type the command as described in the wiki and see the Ok response.  Once you see the correct response, then press "Start"

 

Let the parity check complete.

 

Then,

 

Stop the array,

Power down

check for loose cables.

Power back up

press "Start" to start the array if it does not start by itself.

Long SMART test passed. I checked all SATA and power cables. Thanks for the "I trust my parity drive" trick. However I restored the array by going through a full (useless in my case) data rebuild process. Array is back online and fully protected. Now let see how this disk8 will behave in the future.

 

Thanks a lot for the assistance.
