sakh1979 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi - Yesterday, my unRAID server showed 14,000+ sync errors after power failure. However, after running parity check again it corrected all but 2 errors. I ran the parity check again today, it is about 60% done and shows 250+ errors corrected (250+ is far better than 14,000+ errors, but it is scary). I thought, after running the parity check second time, I wouldn't see any error correction the third time. I have been running unRAID for 7+ years, this is the first time I am facing sync errors, is this behavior normal after power failure? Thanks, Sagun Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 How often have you been running parity checks? Quote Link to comment

ashman70 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 What is your file system? ReiserFS? Quote Link to comment

ashman70 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 There are others here more familiar with ResierFS and it's repair commands, although I am not sure that is going to help you. You should know, that ReiserFS is a dead file system and is no longer being developed. You should consider migrating to XFS. 1 Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I would suggest that you post up your diagnostics file after this current parity check completes. ( Tools >>> Diagnostics ) Post this new up in a new post and perhaps one of the Gurus can find the source of your problem. I would also suggest that you consider a UPS to help protect your server and to ensure that you get a clean shutdown if the power does fail. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is there a painless way to do so? Quote Link to comment

Sure, I will post my diagnostics after this party check completes. I have a UPS, but sadly I didn't configure my unRAID to shutdown gracefully after power failure (my bad) Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Easiest way to convert to XFS honestly is to simply copy/move files from one drive to another and when its empty format to XFS. Here is a pretty good Discussion about it when you get time to read up. 1 Quote Link to comment

No, errors during the first check after an unclean shutdown are normal, if it was a correcting check all successive ones should find 0 errors. 1 Quote Link to comment
