ZFS says drive is faulted, does that always mean it needs replacing? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Relic5646@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've been suuuuper lazy troubleshooting this so it's been a few weeks, but I talked to WD support, they said to run a full extended S.M.A.R.T. test on the drive, it passed with no issues.

Reconnected it to my server using a different SATA cable on a different port on the motherboard, with a different power connector. It resilvered with no problems, and a zpool scrub returned no errors this time so hopefully I'm in the clear!

I have a script that runs once a week that does a scrub then sends the output of zpool status to a Discord channel. When this first started it had read errors (as mentioned in the post), then checksum errors two weeks later. With there being a couple different errors before troubleshooting, and now with no errors after a scrub I'm hoping this means everything's fine now.

I always thought it was nuts that people don't remember, then I turned 30 and got married to someone who has a birthday less than a year before mine. Now I have two ages to remember (that are sometimes the same) and it takes a second for me to remember which is me when asked.

Wow that's pretty substantial, thanks for the tips! Wow yeah Backblaze does seem pretty affordable.

Thanks, I'll try some of those things out and see if a second scrub says the same.

That being said I have pretty good backups

Out of curiosity, what do you do for backups? The initial cost of 3x12TB drives was enough to make me not want to spend a bunch more money on backup stuff at the time, but now that I'm seeing errors I'm willing to spend a bit of money again and should look into my options.

Thanks, I will start a backup now. I don't have any extra automated backups so I guess this is my wake-up call to figure something out.

My weekly zpool scrub came back with this:

  pool: blackhole
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors.
    Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a
    degraded state.
action: Replace the faulted device, or use 'zpool clear' to mark the device
    repaired.
  scan: scrub repaired 0B in 02:01:59 with 0 errors on Tue Jul 11 04:02:09 2023

errors: No known data errors

I only got the drive 6 months ago, well within WD's 3 year warranty so I opened a support case, but do errors like this basically always mean the drive is its way out or is it possible to have false positives?

I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Uncomfortable pooping somewhere with no bidet available?
