Hi, I have a drive that has started giving IO errors. The drive is only 55 days into use. Could this be a simple cable problem? I run a short smart test which passed cleared the error but it returned. Running a long test now. Please let me know how to confirm that it is the drive before i send it…

Has @winnielinnie visited this post yet to recommend the needful memtest? Trolling aside, I swear he has a collection of a > dozen posts where that did fix/identify the issue.

I had a look at that flowchart and did not see IO errors that i had the alert for listed. Here is the result of that command. If i am reading it right that is the right ID for the drive giving the error. The extended test just finished SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_D…

I have shut the server down. Moved the drive to a new sata port on my HDA card and have swapped out its power. Running a scrub now to see if i get any more errors.

If you came up with drive sda then you were correct. But remember that drives can change Drive IDs during a reboot or power cycling. It is generally not the SATA cable doing that. If you ran the SCRUB, did you run the clear first? zpool clear HDDs to remove the recorded errors? The Drive Trouble…

I did clear before the scrub. The scrub completed without any errors. Will see if it reoccures. I was still SDA after the reboot and i checked the serial on the drive to confirm before reseating it. This is the HBA card i have. It is a fujitsu 9211-8i that i got off ebay. Seems to work ok and othe…

A 9211-8i card does require a lot of cooling. Hopefully all is okay.

Been a few days but the same drive has alerted again. Hmm, maybe it’s time to warranty the drive. The odd thing is it is still showing clear on smart checks though. Can anyone recommend anything else i should check? zpool status -v pool: HDDs state: ONLINE status: One or more devices are fault…
