ReadyNAS Ultra 6+ - Loosing tiny bits of data

Hello,


Last night I experienced an odd problem. When looking at Transmission I found 3-4 broken torrents that said "Please verify data location" and showed the torrents as around 99.30 % - 99.90% done. Well, the data was there and after a recheck of the torrent and starting it again it re-downloaded the missing bit.

This morning another 2 torrents had the same symptoms (one of them was from last night). I checked and there was no small files missing out of a big torrent, like a NFO-file but actual small bits from a big MKV-file. Has anyone had something similar happen? Could it be disc starting to fail?


Some details about my setup:

Looking at SMART health all discs but one have 0 errors in reading and the one that does have 5.

4 of the discs are brandspanking new, BUT - they are WD30EZRX's and have WDIDLE3 disabled. None of those discs have any read errors

2 of the discs are 2 year'ish, also WD30 but the older model thats in the HCL. They were used in my previous Ultra 4. Nothing done with WDIDLE and one of these has the 5 errors read.

The Ultra 6 itself runs latest frontview, Transmission, Squeezeserver and is about 3-4 weeks old. I use it primarly to DL torrents and supply my media streamer with movies.

Edit

I downloaded the logs and looked at old smart-logs and it seems that the 5 read errors on one of the discs has been around for as long as I've had the Ultra 6 so it must be from when I had the disc in the Ultra 4 (of wich I have no logs left).

  • So I ran the Boot Menu - Disk Check.

    Not exactly sure how the result is displayed but when I came back from school today the NAS was online as usual after this check had been running for a few hours. Started RAIDar and it just shows the NAS online like normal without any additional info.

    Nothing else shows in the log.
    SMART health-log still shows exactly the same. No errors apart from that 5 read errors from before.


    So this means, nothing wrong was found during the test?

    If it found a failing disk you should have been informed.

    Try a few passes of the memory test.
