flarestarwingz Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hi all, hoping you can help. Im running unraid 6.5 - upgraded from a lower version (6.2 I think?!) but have been getting notifications from the CA common problems, and can also see on the dashboard, that my log files keep filling up. I fairly recently added some donated drives - so just wondering if that is the issue, and what i need to do about it. Are the drives too broken to use, or is it the SAS card going wrong? I've tried reading into it, but a bit unsure of what to do next. I've attached diagnostic files as well to help out, but tried to dig out what i think are issues below: The setup is a SC-4320S case with a few Dell perc cards (H310) connected to the case backplane (with SAS 36p/8087 cables), and then a mix of SATA and SAS drives (plus 2 SSD cache drives connected directly to the motherboard). The motherboard is an old gaming type, which I imagine doesnt matter too much with these errors! (I can post specs if needed!). Parity is on one of the SATA drives (6TB ironwolf) I think the errors relate to the SAS drives I was given. They seem to read and write fine, but smart did show some corrections going on. One of the drives looks like this, the others are similar: Error counter log: Errors Corrected by Total Correction Gigabytes Total ECC rereads/ errors algorithm processed uncorrected fast | delayed rewrites corrected invocations [10^9 bytes] errors read: 0 0 0 1625825723 0 260819.243 0 write: 0 0 0 0 0 3968.940 0 I think the main errors in the logs are of the format (random snippet taken - this repeats through the logs) Apr 24 06:41:34 pong emhttpd: error: mdcmd, 2639: Input/output error (5): write Apr 24 06:41:34 pong kernel: md: do_drive_cmd: disk6: ATA_OP e0 ioctl error: -5 Apr 24 06:41:34 pong kernel: mdcmd (1168462): spindown 7 Apr 24 06:41:34 pong kernel: mdcmd (1168463): spindown 8 Apr 24 06:41:34 pong emhttpd: error: mdcmd, 2639: Input/output error (5): write Apr 24 06:41:34 pong kernel: md: do_drive_cmd: disk8: ATA_OP e0 ioctl error: -5 Apr 24 06:41:35 pong emhttpd: error: mdcmd, 2639: Input/output error (5): write Apr 24 06:41:35 pong kernel: mdcmd (1168464): spindown 5 Apr 24 06:41:35 pong kernel: md: do_drive_cmd: disk5: ATA_OP e0 ioctl error: -5 Apr 24 06:41:35 pong kernel: mdcmd (1168465): spindown 6 Hopefully someone can work out what is going wrong Thanks! pong-diagnostics-20180424-1308.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) You SAS disks don't spindown, it's a known issue with current unRAID. You should disable it for those disks for now, so at least you won't fill the syslog. Edited April 24, 2018 by johnnie.black Quote Link to comment

I'll give it a try - and watch my logs over the next few days. Quote Link to comment
