about parity errors

[fr05ty]

last week i had both of my parity drives go red, 1 died replaced it done a rebuild then the second died, done the next rebuild and 3 days later i had the scheduled sync run and got a message of over 100k errors fixed, so i stopped the server done a quick memtest (~8hr 1 pass) had no issues i am currntly doing a 3rd p.s. and im at 50% and 68K errors corrected, i have ordered some new 8087 to 4 sata cables just test the cables but they wont arrive until wed.

whet should i be looking for in the logs

 

after 1st re-sync and before 2nd hdd crash iceberg-diagnostics-20190727-0936.zip this is where the drive died

Last check was non correct, you need to run a correcting check first then a non correct one to confirm no more errors.

14tb dives suck 30Hrs for the scrub, but they were on sale for a good price at the time

 

so i just finished the correcting yesterday and the non-correcting today, fixed over 101K errors in first pass and had 0 after the N.C check, so why would i have had so many errors to fix? could it be because parity disk 2 was dying after i rebuilt disk 1?

 

also should a monthly scrub be as a correcting or non-correcting?

Possibly, impossible to known without diags showing those issues.

Parity check should always be non correcting, unless errors are expected, like after an unclean shutdown.
