Hi everyone,

 

already since a while (I think since upgrading to 6.3.5), my Unraid server is spamming me with a lot of disk health warnings for my cache SSD, but manaully running a SMART test always shows everything fine...

 

Could you maybe help me to determine if I have an issue and should replace that drive or if it is just a software issue?

If drive replacement is needed (it´s about 2 years old), what is best practice to replace the cache drive?

 

Many thanks in advance.

- Your cooling is insufficient on your CPU.  The system is throttling the CPU to prevent it from overheating.

- Looks like you're installing an ancient version of the ipmi tools plugin.  Remove and reinstall via the apps tab unless there's a valid reson for this (I don't follow the goings on with the plugin)

What is the message regarding the SSD / disk health?

SSD has seen better days, lots of reported uncorrected, there are also a few btrfs checksum errors, likely a result of the SSD errors, I would replace it.

 

 

Cooling is at the limit, but usually only reaching the top during Parity check (which is currently running), that´s why everything is a bit warmer than usually :-)

OK, so I´ll replace the SSD, anyway want to add a new disk as parity, using the current parity disk for data.

 

Is there a manual on how to replace the cache drive?

Thanks again for your help!

 

Just a small update, I replaced the drive now (which was not that easy as there seem to some unreadable blocks already and repairing the filesystem didn´t really work) and everything looks good.

 

Interestingly I put the old drive to my PC and the SanDisk SSD utility tells me that the drive is fine and has 98% lifespan....
