Bit rot protection error within /var/log/journal/0/system.journal and cannot correct

Hi !

 

I just got this message on  my RN 4220;

Bit rot protection has detected an error within /var/log/journal/00d31b31fed446b688b7867645788512/system.journal and cannot correct the error.

 

should I be worried ?

 

the raid seems fine, all disk are green. no other errors reported.

 

Any input would be appreciated.

    Which firmware are you running?

    That looks odd. That's a log that's rotated after a period of time. I wouldn't have thought it should have bit-rot protection on it.

     

    Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

        That's very old firmware.

        Do you have a backup?

        I'd suggest getting your volume usage down to about 80-85% then updating to 6.6.0.
