2 Parity errors every scan

Hi,

 

As a result of a monthly non-correcting check I had 2 errors, I ran the non-correcting check again and still have the 2 errors.  

 

I am not sure but I seem to remember an unclean shutdown a while ago so that maybe the reason.

 

My question is with these two errors can I see what they are somehow? am I at risk of losing data if I do a correcting check?

 

Many Thanks

Thanks @johnnie.black I was just hoping there was a way to find what the errors were, if they pointed to any particular files/folders.

 

 

There are two problems with this:

  • If the problem is a data drive then you cannot tell which one it might be.
  • even if you can identify the drive it is not practical to identify what file the problem sector belongs to.

if you want to be able to identify if any files might be corrupt then you need to either be using BTRFS as the file system on a drive or be using the File Integrity plugin so that you have checksums for all files that can be used to identify corrupted files.
