hughes Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I built my Unraid server in July 2019 and have had no issues to date. However, immediately after upgrading to 6.8.0 (may not be related at all, just serves as a landmark for timing), I wound up with a corrupted cache drive. I checked all of the S.M.A.R.T values and generally tried to come up with something that would point to hardware failure and came up empty. Formatted the cache drive, restored backups, everything works fine again for ~6 days. Rinse and repeat. Then things are fine for a little over a week. At this point, I figure maybe there's something up with BTRFS and flip the cache drive over to XFS since I'm only using one anyway. I made that change just before or after the the New Year and has been solid ever since. Until today when I found my logs littered with XFS errors. At this point, I believe the cache drive has to be the issue and should be replaced. However, I wanted to post here first to see if there are any things someone with more experience with Unraid than I have is able to spot something different in my logs that I should be suspect of. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help! 😁 tesseract-diagnostics-20200122-1900.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Jan 22 09:41:38 Tesseract emhttpd: unclean shutdown detected Filesystems tend to not like unclean shutdowns, and if this happened in the middle of a write, it would quite probably result in what you're seeing. Either way, you do need to run https://wiki.unraid.net/Check_Disk_Filesystems against the cache drive. Quote Link to comment
hughes Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thank you for the help. That did the trick and left me feeling a bit dumb by just not trying that out of the gate given that’s literally in the error message. 🤦♂️ I think I just assumed it wouldn’t work since scanning on BTRFS didn’t but after reading more, it appears there’s no way to repair file system corruption like you can with XFS.
