Hello Fellow Unraiders,

 

Today the error log of Unraid showed a lot of BTRFS errors, so I searched what you can do and what causes it. Unfortunately I did not find the cause of the issues.

Anyone who knows what is the best thing todo at this point. Diagnostics are attached. The harddrives are 2 SAMSUNG_MZVLB256HAHQ.

Unraid version 6.8.1

Looking at the stats both devices are having issues, likely dropping offline, so once it comes back online btfs brings the filesystem up to date, and hence the "read error corrected" info, see here for more info on how to better monitor the pool.

 

Since no cables are involved it's not likely a connection issue, look for a bios update, also some NVMe devices have issues with power states on Linux, try this, on the main GUI page click on flash, scroll down to "Syslinux Configuration", make sure it's set to "menu view" (on the top right) and add this to your default boot option, after "append"

 

nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0

 

Reboot and see if it makes a difference.

 

 

Thanks a lot Johnnie! I will look into it. The NVMe drive also goes offline if I copy back and forth huge files (40g). 

I'll report back when I'm done.

 

EDIT: Performed a BIOS update, appended the line you mentioned and cleared the btrfs stats. Will monitor if the problem still exists.

 

EDIT2: Still had some errors after doing that but it was better. In the end I formatted my cache drives and made a new btrfs cahe pool. 

After that I still had a lot of PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer errors. That seems to be resolved with booting Unraid like this: 

 

Unraid OS

kernel /bzimage
append initrd=/bzroot nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 pcie_aspm=off

So, i am having similar issues to this with a couple of my cache pools dropping drives (without cause...3 month old NVME drives; that do not show any smart errors).

I am a little confused on the syntax order for this "nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0" string.  i have seen some posts (including this one) have it both ways; Between "append" and "initrd=/bzroot", and AFTER "initrd=/bzroot"....Which is officially correct?   (or does it even matter where it sits in the command?)

Thanks

So i will assume it just my s*** 3 month old Adata NVME drives that were causing the issues then...i have since replaced them with Samsung 980 Pro NVME's, so i hope that issue is dealt with.   anyone wanna buy lightly used Adata drives? *smh*

Did you ever figure out what's going on? Running into similar issue myself now.
