Is my SSD dead? The number of I/O errors exceeded acceptable levels

I am a bit confused here:

June 9th I received this alert:

 The number of I/O errors associated with a ZFS device exceeded
 acceptable levels. ZFS has marked the device as faulted.
 impact: Fault tolerance of the pool may be compromised.
 eid: 2566
 class: statechange
 state: FAULTED
 host: corellia
 time: 2024-06-10 00:06:51+0300
 vpath: /dev/sdi3
 vguid: 0xA3827F82C74B2AA2
 pool: boot-pool (0x88B45C7FF4BBA0E9)

The SSD seems to be completely unavailable. smartctl cannot open the device.

I pulled it off the NAS, connected it via an external SATA to USB enclosure to my laptop.
Ran smart and badblocks tests (I know badblocks does not make sense for an SSD) and it was all fine.
I moved it again to the NAS and all went fine until today, July the 26th when I received this error:

 The number of I/O errors associated with a ZFS device exceeded
 acceptable levels. ZFS has marked the device as faulted.
 impact: Fault tolerance of the pool may be compromised.

This is a crucial SSD used for my mirrored boot pool.

 Model Family: Crucial/Micron Client SSDs
 Device Model: CT120BX500SSD1

That SSD often reports high temperatures but I searched and read it could be an issue with the firmware.

So, is it broken? Should I just throw it away and shop for something else or could a bug somewhere be causing this corruption? I am leaning towards throwing it away and not buying corsair SSDs again.

This happened during the update from 24.04.1.1 to 24.04.2 (bad timing but I have a mirrored boot pool).

You need to do a few things…

  1. Run smartctl -t short /dev/sdX where “X” is the drive letter. In the above listing you have sdi and sdj?
  2. Wait 3 minutes then, Post the output of smartctl -x /dev/sdX. We will see what the data shows.

Yes, I have personally experienced a Crucial SSD failure due to firmware but that was a very long time ago. You can check the firmware versions but hold off until we see that smart data.

The issue does not initially sound like the drive is dying. High drive temps could be the problem if those are valid.

If you have a lot of UDMA_CRC_ERRORS then odds are it is a SATA cable issue.

Thank you @joeschmuck for responding.

I rebooted the NAS again and the SSD is back up and pool was resilvered but I have 3 checksum errors

I don’t have any. Too bad as it could have been an easy fix :slight_smile:

TrueNAS keeps shuffling stuff around. No idea yet how to stop that from happening.

Smart data shows the drive is 4 years old. relocated event count 0. percent lifetime remaining 98%
Total_LBAs_Written = 1807575503 , if im not mistaken thats in gigs. Was this drives used for something other that running truenas. The read and write count is very high. i would go looking for a new drive.

Thanks @brandon_evans for responding.

I think it could be more than 4 years old. Been using it since before freenas 11.
Never used it for anything other than booting Freenas then truenas.

Total_LBAs_Written seems to be in something else.
I did:

zpool detach boot-pool sdh3
smartctl -a  /dev/sdh | grep LBA
246 Total_LBAs_Written      0x0032   100   100   050    Old_age   Always       -       1811087199
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdh bs=1M count=1024
smartctl -a  /dev/sdh | grep LBA
246 Total_LBAs_Written      0x0032   100   100   050    Old_age   Always       -       1813184351

Writing 1GB increased 246 Total_LBAs_Written by 2097152

It should be 1813184351/2097152 = 864 GB

But if you still think that’s too much then I can hunt for a new drive.

EDIT:
I am sure it’s 2097152 per GB because:

resilvered 7.81G in 00:02:01 with 0 errors on Fri Jul 26 20:59:49 2024
smartctl -a  /dev/sdh | grep LBA
246 Total_LBAs_Written      0x0032   100   100   050    Old_age   Always       -       1829860042

(1829860042-1813184351)/2097152 = ~7.9

EDIT2:
1 LBA unit for BX500 is 512 bytes
512 * 2097152 = 1GiB

You upgraded from 24.04.1.1 so make 24.04.1.1 the Active boot pool. Reboot and see if the problem persists. This can tell you if the hardware is good or not.

Assuming the problem returns…
How is the SSD connected to your machine? If using the HBA, try the onboard SATA port.

If you are already using an onboard SATA port, my suggestion is to make a backup of your TrueNAS configuration file, put it in a safe place. Then wipe both boot-pool drives and reinstall TrueNAS 24.04.2 from the ISO image.

Those are my recommended best steps based on the information provided.

Total_LBAs_Written is in bytes, of corse. ohh how i wish drive manufacturers would stick with a standard. in that case thats not a lot of data written.

So the drive barfed again and I ended up replacing it with an S3520. I figured it should be more reliable.

RIP. It’s served me well for 5+ years. Still at 94% health though :smiley:

The Intel DC series drives are very reliable, and the S3520 is after the shift to 3D NAND, so I imagine you’ll be quite pleased with the years of boring service you’ll get from it.

For those following along, the Crucial BX series has an aggressive wear-leveling feature in its firmware that also causes it to throw false-positives for the “Current Pending Sectors” SMART value whenever it does one a wear-leveling pass. The combination of these two makes it an overall sub-par candidate for use in your TrueNAS system, even as a boot device.

If you’ve still got the BX500 drive @MSameer I’d be interested in a full smartctl -x dump of it, if you’re willing to share either publicly or via DM.

Thank you for the reassurance. I just love boring hardware which you never hear from :slight_smile:

The only down side is TN does not come with the intel SSD tools thus I cannot “shrink” the usable space but I don’t think that matters much for a boot drive.

Here goes (It’s connected via an ASM1051E SATA to USB bridge. I can connect it directly if you wise

Nothing really strikes my attention there but I am not an expert.

We actually do have provisioning available through the disk_resize command (eg: disk_resize sdX 16G) but it would be rather difficult (impossible) to do on a live disk and have the data remain intact :stuck_out_tongue: You’d have to do this from a different boot device and then reinstall to the S3520.

This is the part I’m interested in. The flash translation layer says it’s done ~3x the number of page programming operations as were sent to the disk, probably from the SLC caching behavior, but it’s not logged anything much more intense than that for the wear leveling. Total writes look like they’re in the neighborhood of 1.3T so it’s a pretty lightly used device overall.

Brilliant! Thank you.
I am glad I still mirror my boot drive. I can detach the SSD, resize and reattach.

The SSD has been used exclusively for FreeNAS and TrueNAS boot.

type or paste code here

Judging by the total LBAs written it’s 1.245 to be exact :slight_smile:

It’s served me well for around 5 years.

Do you need any info from the SSD before it gets added to the e-waste pile?

Nope, but it’s still likely a fine candidate for a non-ZFS boot device (albeit with the caveats around write amplification)

It is too small for anything other than booting TN.

It is also too unreliable to use in non-mirror pools. I hate to get rid of it but I have no real use for it. Maybe I can donate it for free.
