one of my disks shows the following error, what does it mean?

Featured Replies

This is the error i got from one of my disks 

Tower kernel: print_req_error: critical medium error, dev sdc, sector 11068416312

what does it mean?

 

I made SMART quick test and everything seems OK!

Looks like a connection problem with the SSD, suggest replacing/swapping both cables to rule them out.

But the Disk that has this error is not not an SSD 

 

it is Disk 9 not the SSD 

 

So, was that a false message ?

SSD is also having issues, and it was the first to have problems on the syslog, so I didn't look further down, disk9 errors appear to be a disk problem, but they can be intermittent, suggest running an extended SMART test. 

 

P.S. there are also hardware errors being detected, possibly bad RAM

This is bad !! 

 

I know that SSD is having issues and I have brand new one ready for deployment so I am not worried about this, already back-up and replacement process will be performed this coming weekend. 

 

But, My worries are related to what you mentioned regarding HardDisk 9 and the RAM. I am running extended SMART test now and I will post the result as soon as it is done

 

Also, you mentioned that there are hardware errors being detected possibly bad RAM. is there a way to verify this? 

on this same point, could it be a RAM issue caused by a docker such as Emby and not actually a hardware error? 

 

I hear that Emby sometimes plays funny with RAM !!

No, it's a hardware error, but not clear to me if it's RAM, CPU cache or other thing, but maybe CPU cache.

Ok I get it, 

 

It is definitely a hardware issue but why did you suspect it is the RAM and not something else? Is there a way to verify or troubleshoot this to get to the root cause of this error? 

 

Regarding HardDisk 9, you said its errors can be intermittent and you suggested running an extended test "which I am doing right now" 

will this show us what's wrong with it?

MCE outupt can be rather cryptic, at least for me, but like mentioned above I think it might be bad CPU cache, maybe someone else can point you in the right direction.

If it fails the extended SMART test it should be replace now, if it passes it's mostly up to you, you can keep using it and monitor for more issues.

Very well, 

 

I really cannot thank you enough. Much respect for you and your assistance...

 

Thank you so much 

 

 

I really hope some of the guys here can point me to the right direction regarding the hardware error
