xman111 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) 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. server-diagnostics-20200223-1333.zip Edited February 23, 2020 by xman111 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If you reorder the data disks then parity2 is not valid so it has to be rebuilt. Quote Link to comment
xman111 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I did change disk 3 and 4 on purpose. did you see anything in logs that is a problem? should I rerun parity? can I be confident my data isn't corrupted? thanks for your response as it is worrisome.

trurl Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment
