[SOLVED] Rebuilt 17 drive array, upgraded to 5.0b2. 2 unformatted drives?

Featured Replies

One drive has an orange circle, the other red.  Both are showing as unformatted.  They are being detected correctly in the BIOS and by unraid. I remember reading somwhere that there is a low level format I can do to try and bring these back online?  At least one, then I can  parity the other back I'm assuming?

 

Here's a log, I hope I'm doing this right.  Please excuse my newbie-ness:

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am getting this when I try that (note, my server is now named Cooper instead of Flo):

it takes a block  it has  in reserve  and allocates  it for use for

option (-B) with  reiserfs utils to handle this block correctly.

It's doing this for both disks 7 and 9.  If I understand correctly, the array must be running to do this, correct?

Yes, the array must be "started"

It is started and running with "Unformatted disk(s) present".

  • Author

So I ran this on a "green" disk (/dev/md1) just to see if it was working.  And sure enough it scanned just fine.

 

The thing is I am noticing that the problem occurs before I even run reiserfsck, but rather on the umount.  Notice how when I try "umount /dev/md7" it says "umount: /dev/md7: not mounted"

 

Might be an indication of what's going on?

 

EDIT:  On second thought I guess this is just because unraid is having a problem with the disk, so it never tried to mount it in the first place. 

EDIT:  On second thought I guess this is just because unraid is having a problem with the disk, so it never tried to mount it in the first place. 

Since it was not mounted, you could not un-mount it.  It was not mounted because it was corrupted, and that is what you are attempting to fix.

Right, I'm dumb.  Thanks!

 

Any ideas of what to do try next?

Do the drives respond at all?

 

Can you type

smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sdX

where sdX = the device for disk7 and disk9.

 

You can try power cycling. (power down power back up, see if the disk will respond)

Then try the reiserfsck again.

 

What specific brand/model power supply are you using?  You have a lot of disks and it might be stressing even a large supply.

Could you have a loose or poorly connected power splitter feeding those two disks?

It's reporting this for both drives (7 and 9)

 

The power supply is a 750watt corsair, and this build is brand new in an RPC-4220.  All power and SAS connections are very secure.

 

I've power cycled several times, and no change.  

 

If the drives aren't responding at all, why are they detected properly in the BIOS, and unraid sees them as unformatted?  I see activity on them when I refresh the main page in the web admin as well.  This is progress as the setup I had these drives in before didn't even do that, which I attributed to faulty cables / cheap sata controllers and mobo.

 

This new build is copied directly from the wiki.

If by power cycling you are rebooting the machine try to shut it down fully, pull the power plug on the back, and start it back up.  It can actually help sometimes.

unRAID sees it as unformatted because it is not mounted and it is detect in the BIOS because the BIOS does not give a rats behind what is on the disk, it only cares that it is there and it can send a signal to it.

Nope, still the same.  Here is a full syslog that might shed some light?

True... and is exactly why I asked the questions I did.  It is very rare for two disks to fail exactly the same way at the same time.   It is EASY if they both lose power at the same time.  If that server has a backplane, are you connected to ALL the power connectors behind the disks?

The power supply is a 750watt corsair,

If it is the one with the single rail, it should be fine...

Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)

 

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

It indicates you did not follow instructions.   I asked you run it on the /dev/sdX device, not the /dev/mdX device.

 

Since you did not supply a full syslog, thinking your segment at the end was enough, I cannot give you more specific help on which native "/dev/sd?" devices correspond to disk7 and disk9.

 

If this is a brand new server, did you try other slots in the array for those disks?

 

Are these EARS drives?  They frequently lock up and refuse to do anything if you change the jumper setting on the back.  

Are they?  Did you?

 

Joe L.

I looked back at an earlier post where you admitted that you NEVER formatted those two drives.

If they were never formatted, they will never be able to be mounted.

 

Did you, in the interim, format those drives successfully and get them on line?

 

Joe L.

Do the drives respond at all?

 

Can you type

smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sdX

where sdX = the device for disk7 and disk9.

 

You can try power cycling. (power down power back up, see if the disk will respond)

Then try the reiserfsck again.

 

What specific brand/model power supply are you using?  You have a lot of disks and it might be stressing even a large supply.

Could you have a loose or poorly connected power splitter feeding those two disks?

 

 

Okay, I wasn't doing that command correctly.  Apparently sdX isn't a numeric value, but rather sdG and sdP for the drives.  Sorry, I am totally new to all of this :(

I looked back at an earlier post where you admitted that you NEVER formatted those two drives.

If they were never formatted, they will never be able to be mounted.

 

Did you, in the interim, format those drives successfully and get them on line?

 

Joe L.

 

 

Both of these drives used to be part of the array, and working.  But due to a move and faulty connections (I believe) my futile attempts to bring the array back online may have been more destructive than good. (Including upgrading to 5.0 beta 2)

 

I'm almost certain it is not a power issue.

 

Again thank you for the help and patience with my idiocy!

The second drive you post the smart report for has a lot of current pending sectors for allocation.  There were 3 that were relocatted already.

 

The second drive should be RMA'ed.

 

The first drive appears to be OK.

 

Also, as JoeL. mentioned you should have both molex power supply connectors connected to the backplane of the 4220.  That case will supposedly work with only one power connection to each backplane but I found it to be less stable that way.

According to your syslog, your disks are:

So,

/dev/sdg

and

/dev/sdp

are the two disk devices.

 

It looks like the one is responding.  That is a good sign.

 

Now, let's see the output of:

fdisk -l /dev/sdg

and

fdisk -l /dev/sdp

and

vol_id /dev/sdg1

and

vol_id /dev/sdp1

Also, as JoeL. mentioned you should have both molex power supply connectors connected to the backplane of the 4220.  That case will supposedly work with only one power connection to each backplane but I found it to be less stable that way.

 

All molex connectors have power going into them, and am only using 2 splitters.

As mentioned, the 1.5TB drive is failing badly.  It shows:

197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0032  195  195  000    Old_age  Always      -      1311

over 1300 sectors that are reported as unreadable.

 

You WILL need to RMA it.

 

The other (/dev/sdg) might be usable if you can repair the superblock in it using reiserfsck.

 

When you use the --rebuild-sb option to reiserfsck you will be prompted for several items.  The default answers are NOT correct for unRAID. 

 

See this thread for the correct responses:

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1483

 

The command to rebuild the superblock must be run on the "md" device.

reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/md7

 

Make sure you use the correct responses, see the thread I linked to.

 

If you want, you can try the same command on /dev/md9  (assuming that "reiserfsck --check /dev/md9" also complains about a missing superblock,) but I feel that disk is probably not going to do too well with all the sectors pending re-allocation.  But who knows.

Sounds great, but we're kind of back to square one:

Certainly looks like it.  At first glance it appears your disk is defective.  You could try it on a different PORT on your disk controller, with a different cable, just to be sure.  You could try connecting it directly to the MB rather than through the back-plane of the case.  You might have a defective back-plane.

 

Joe L.

You have a Norco case and they use a backplanes. There is a chance that you may have a faulty one (cracked trace, etc.)

 

I will suggest for you to identify the suspect drives and to move them around - to see if the errors will move with the drives. Since you have only 18 drives you have the two other drive slots available and you already have the necessary cables to perform this test.
