September 2, 20178 yr Sep 1 20:07:58 Brunnhilde kernel: XFS (sdc1): metadata I/O error: block 0x16142e678 ("xfs_trans_read_buf_map") error 5 numblks 8 My log is getting spammed with a constant stream of this error. Don't know if it's related, but I'm in the middle of a data rebuild after a single disk failure. Diagnostics attached. brunnhilde-diagnostics-20170901-2008.zip
September 2, 20178 yr Community Expert Old disk1 was sdc and it dropped offline and was reatached as sdm, so unRAID is confused, rebooting will clear it up.
September 2, 20178 yr Author The old disk1 was sdc but I never could get it to mount after it dropped off line so I replaced it. Not sure about the sdm, don't have one now anyway. Will rebooting right now effect the data rebuild that is in progress for the new disk1? Rebuild is at about 30% right now. Edited September 2, 20178 yr by wgstarks

September 3, 20178 yr Author Would this issue cause a data loss during rebuild? The rebuild has finished but almost all data is now missing from the disk. It was all movies that I can replace (once I figure out which ones ), so nothing critical, but I'd kinda like to know what caused the loss so it doesn't happen again.
September 3, 20178 yr Community Expert Filesystem corruption can always cause data loss, have you rebooted since? You may need to run xfs_repair on the rebuilt disk.
September 3, 20178 yr Author Yes. I rebooted to clear the metadata I/O error. If I can still run XFS repair that would be great (no idea how to do it though). If not, oh well. Just have to re-rip a bunch a bunch of videos.
September 3, 20178 yr Community Expert xfs_repair will only help if there's fs corruption on the rebuilt disk, if you like post your current diags.
September 3, 20178 yr Community Expert No obvious fs issues, disk1 has little data but more than on your first diags, where it was practically empty, when it was rebuilding, so whatever happened it was before that.
September 3, 20178 yr Author Would a parity check (corrections enabled) effect emulated disks? Had a parity check start before I had a replacement disk available. Stopped it when I saw it was running, but that was several hours later.
September 3, 20178 yr Community Expert No, it will act just as a read check, no data/parity will be changed, problem is more consistent with parity not being in sync when the disk failed.

September 3, 20178 yr Author No. I added a new drive in an empty drive bay adjacent to disk1. Disk1 dropped out at the same time the new disk mounted. Really thought I had just jostled it and lost connection. Wasn't able to get disk1 to remount though. Would just get a message that I needed to format the disk (unmountable disk present).
