Need some help and advice … I have a pool called “Computer Core” I have a mirror of two hard drives that I am getting checksum errors on …
What I don’t understand is why … I have scrubed the pool , and trimmed it … I also ran the long smart test on the two drives and after 2 days that came back with nothing as well …
So I am not sure what I should do … Thoughts ? advice ?
Harddrive issue, cabling issue, power issue, memory issue, or zfs bug.
As you don’t have ECC, you can’t really rule out a memory issue…
So, what you want to do is try to work out if there is actually an issue that the harddrive can investigate by checking its smartctl -a /dev/<etc> results.
If it has UDMA CRC errors, then its probably a cabling/pwer issue. If the HD hasn’t identified any errors, and you’ve been running tests then its probably a memory issue…
but you can test cabling issues by swapping drives/cables around and seeing if the issue goes away or moves.
I must have missed that … its both … I have all the sata ports on the MB full and then a pcie sata card for I think two of the drives … hard to remember its been a while since I built this box …
I already have a new pcie sata card that I was thinking about replacing this weekend when I pull the box to clean it and check the cables …
I ran the command again this time with ada6 as that is a drive that shows checksum errors in the pool and it just came back with all the drive information and that the last smart test long was successful with no errors …
So let me ask you this … I have a Mini R that I am planning on using in the near future … Seeing how the Mini R has a pcie expansion slot I am going to need either a sata or nvme card for it …
