Gracey400 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Hi All, Got a really strange issue. My SSD cache drive died a week ago (unmountable btrfs error). I replaced it with a different SSD and set the system up from new and a day later the same thing happens. I repeated this process a second time with yet another SSD and same thing again. I decided to have a go at using a mechanical drive. It has stayed running but has generally been pretty unstable. I checked the logs today to find more btrfs errors. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this. I have attached a screenshot of the errors in the logs. I have rebooted it and im just waiting for it to start throwing the errors before I export the diagnstic info, which I will upload here too. Thanks in advance tower-diagnostics-20191017-0538.zip Edited October 17, 2019 by Gracey400 Add zip file Quote Link to comment
jpowell8672 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Did you try replacing the cable? If using only a single cache drive, I suggest xfs instead of btrfs. Quote Link to comment

After the second drive failure I swapped the sata cable with one of my storage drives to eliminate that issue I will have a go at XFS. Thankyou Quote Link to comment

We got a winner. RAM returned 6 errors in the first test alone. I didnt think of RAM as the system was brand new. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment
