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).

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredTry running the "Disk Test" boot option (this will take some hours). Also run a few passes of the memory test.
See http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu - PeterKocicAspirantThanks for the quick reply. Will try that.
- PeterKocicAspirantSo 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? - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredIf it found a failing disk you should have been informed.
Try a few passes of the memory test.
