Parity Sync Errors Corrected

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, just precleared an 8tb disk, then added it to my array.  I made a new config (so i could swap disk numbers around), and got 700k parity sync errors corrected.  Can anyone have a look at my diagnostics file as i have some important data on my array.  I use this  array to make all my backups so if my family photos are corrupted i need to know how to fix this. I have never seen any errors before..   Any help would be very much appreciated.

Parity2 calculation, unlike parity1, is dependent on the order of the disks, simple as that. And, your syslog says it was correcting Q (parity2).

Feb 22 16:32:15 Server kernel: mdcmd (43): check 
Feb 22 16:32:15 Server kernel: md: recovery thread: check P Q ...
Feb 22 16:32:15 Server kernel: md: recovery thread: Q corrected, sector=0
Feb 22 16:32:15 Server kernel: md: recovery thread: Q corrected, sector=8
...
Feb 22 16:32:15 Server kernel: md: recovery thread: Q corrected, sector=816
Feb 22 16:32:15 Server kernel: md: recovery thread: Q corrected, sector=824
Feb 22 16:32:15 Server kernel: md: recovery thread: stopped logging

So this is completely normal. Run a non-correcting parity check to verify and everything should be fine.
