Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 7:58 am Post subject: Question About Drive in a Software RAID-5 |
|
|
So I've got a three drive RAID-5 array. Yesterday I copied several gigabytes of data over and was maintaining about 85 MB/s transfer speed. Today, I moves about 9 more, and noticed the speed dropped to about 12 MB/s. I looked over at the server and noticed one of the drive lights stayed lit the entire time. I ran the smartstl -a command on the drive and it took about 30 seconds to extract all the data. Is this drive starting to "circle the drain"?

Although this SMART does not look too bad, this disk has "Auto Offline Data Collection: Disabled." and never run a single selftest.
In the future you should set up smartmontools to do disk monitoring and run regular selftests.
For now, do for all your disks:
Code: |
smartctl --offlineauto=on /dev/sdx
smartctl -t long /dev/sdx # this takes a while
smartctl -a /dev/sdx # to check selftest progress and other values again
|
Also check dmesg for obvious error messages?
If any errors/doubts come up about this drive, add a fourth drive to the system, add it as a spare to the array and then use `mdadm --replace`
If you do not run tests on your arrays / disks, you will not notice read errors in time and risk premature death of your RAID array.
If you do not have a backup, make one... |

Bigun,
Things like
dmesg: | [415753.356757] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133

This drive died, another in the same raid set died 15 min later. _________________ Regards,

dmesg isn't showing anything too daunting. Running a self-test on the offending drive now, waiting on results. _________________ "It's ok, they might have guns but we have flowers." - Perpetual Victim |

Nightly and offsite. I do not rely on RAID as backup. See my backup rig here. _________________ "It's ok, they might have guns but we have flowers." - Perpetual Victim |

Also, on a side note. I've ran the command to turn on offline data collection:
Code: | # smartctl --offlineauto=on /dev/sda
smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [i686-linux-4.4.6-gentoo] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-15, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org
=== START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION ===
SMART Automatic Offline Testing Enabled every four hours. |
However:
Code: | === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
General SMART Values:
Offline data collection status: (0x00) Offline data collection activity
was never started.
Auto Offline Data Collection: Disabled. |

Not sure what the issue is with the auto offline data collection, some drives don't support it but yours claims it does.
Nothing horrible seems to have appeared in the selftest... it passed, and reallocated/pending/uncorrectable is still 0.
So at least according to the drive's internal diagnostics it seems to be fine. |

Ok then, I have backups just in case anyway. Good to know. _________________ "It's ok, they might have guns but we have flowers." - Perpetual Victim |

Bigun,
Maybe a failing SATA data cable, or SATA port on the motherboard.
Internally, the drive looks ok. _________________ Regards,
