joelrfernandes Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hello all, Honestly I'm not a big expert on the hardware side of things but, I'm finding myself having to run `xfs_repair` on one particular drive over and over again. The symptoms are always the same: eventually some directories stop providing file lists, or one Docker container starts having issues with a directory, etc. When that happens I always have to run `xfs_repair -vL /dev/md8` to get that drive back again. I'm attaching the output of one of the last times I ran xfs_repair. I'm also attaching the diagnostics log. Any help would really be appreciated. monster-diagnostics-20171118-2219 (1).zip xfs_repair.log Link to comment
irishdab Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Your drive ST4000DM000-1F2168_S30091TE-20171118-2219 in the smart data is listed as failing now. Is that the drive you keep having to run xfs_repair on? Edit to be more clear the smart data shows the error is: 184 End-to-End_Error 0x0032 094 094 099 Old_age Always FAILING_NOW 6https://kb.acronis.com/content/9119 Best to replace that disk in my view.

joelrfernandes Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 No, that's not the drive. In fact, that notice has been there for a while now (maybe over a year) but I never had issues with that drive so far. I do remember searching here at the time and I think I read that error might not cause any harm, but yes, I should still replace it. The drive that I constantly run xfs_repair is disk8 Link to comment
joelrfernandes Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Now reading the description of that attribute, I should really replace that drive soon. Link to comment

You should, as for disk8 if the filesystem keeps getting corrupt you should move all data to another disk, reformat and move data back. Link to comment
SSD Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It is certainly in the.manufacture's best interest to not report a disk failing when it is not. So when they say it is failing, I tend to believe it. But failing the end to end attribute is very rare without other symptoms. And you say you've used for over a year without it getting worse. My general rule of thumb is if you can run three consecutive parity checks and the smart attributes don't change, that the drive may have 'stabilized' (whatever that means). But I would replace it and use this drive for backups if it seems pretty reliable. Or better yet rma if under warranty. Link to comment
joelrfernandes Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 SSD: Unfortunately it's not under warranty anymore But yes, I'll definitely replace it and use it for something else. As for disk8, I'm going to follow your advice, johnnie.black. I'll get an extra drive, move contents there, re-format it and move data back to it. Link to comment
